WILL NOT ADVISE
 MEXICO TO BREAK
 WITH TIE GERMANS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Reports that Mexico is about to break with Germany led to the authoritative state ment today that any such move would not be based on advice given by the American government.
 It was stated that no suggestion of an active endorsement of the po- sition Of the United States has gone to Mexico City from Washington ex- cept the general note addressed to all neutral governments upon the rup- ture of relations with Germany in March. It was made clear, further more, that while the American govern ment would welcome a friendlier at titude by Mexico, many high officials believe the best interests of most of the nations concerned will be served if the southern republic maintains neu- trality in the world war.
 Ambassador Fletcher, who came here to report in detail to Secretary Lans- ing on conditions in Mexico, has told the state department that despite some improvements in Mexican affairs gen erallv, much remains to cause concern to the American government. This circumstance is considered important because a break with Germany would give Mexico an opportunity to get money and place the United States 1 under certain obligations.
 Late reports to the state depart ment have served to allay the alarm prevalent at one time that German machinations in Mexico might prove embarrassing. Although there are ft wireless plants in Mexico, American officials are convinced that none i. 1 being used and that none can be useC for transmitting news to Germany ol to her correspondents

At a French port it was Glass privilege according to his story, to witness the arrival of one contin- gent of Pershing's expeditionary force.

 On his return says he witnessed the torpedoing of the steamer Virginia. and was part of the crew which as sisted sailors of that ship in bleaching their boat to prevent sinking.
