REPORTS ON MEXICO.
Importance Attached to the Mission of
Ambassador Fletcher.

WASHINGTON, July 6. - Enough
Importance was attached to the mission
of Henry p. Fletcher, ambassador to
Mexico, who hurriedly left Mexico City
as soon as permission had been granted
him by the state department, to ar
range for a conference today with See
retary Lansing on board the train which
is carrying the secretary to Henderson
Harbor, n. Y, for a three weeks vaea-
tion.
State department officials have pro
fessed ignorance as to the nature of the
mission of Ambassador Fletcher. BY
some officials it was assumed the am
bassador wished to explain personally
| the extent to which German activities
have been carried on in Mexico and
the influence German agents have had
on the Mexican government and people
Reports that Mexico would enter the
war as an ally is not regarded by most
officials here as probable. They also
believe it improbable that Mexico vii
become active in her support of Ger
many.

any person by the name of ''N. Snyder

This city mas been pestered with simi
lar gangs of four or five boys under the

that they are high school graduates
hUpon investigation the contrary has
been shown. Whether your transients ar.
the ones who have been here do moi
know. Nobody should give money Il

their sympathy and kindheartedness.
hope you may be able to deal severely
