WASHINGTON, July ll-With the re-
turn of President Wilson from Paris there
is every indication that he will give
prompt attention to the Mexican situation.
No. authoritative announcement is yet
forthcoming from the White House or
the state department regarding the man
ner in which the Mexican problems are

made by person who is usually well
Informed that President Wilson would
! soon appear before congress and make
am address on the Mexican problem, deal
ing with the matter along the lines of the
Mckinley message to congress which led
to intervention i'll Cuba.

to discuss them
