These denials are drawing a
cross through the calculations

are anxious to cover up their
movements regarding Mexico
and to keep Germany in the
foreground as the potential dan

States. Congress is unanimous
for any steps that will restore

The choice of the Admin

nephew Of Porhro Diaz, the
former dictator Of Mexico, who
is believed to be the right man
to carry out the scheme. The
Administration thus picks out
a President for Mexico for the
third time. The first one was
Pancho Villa, then came Car

With the firm alliance be-

diplomatic circles the statementl
made in an interview by Lord
Robert Cecil, minister Of block

for confirmation that the United

steps without the consent of
London.
Speaking g~uardedly, Lord Cecil
said: England and America are
going hand in hand in the inter

pursuing the same principles.
There is, therefore, no reason

Washington against the repeal
