a life-long friend of Secretary Bryan.
The understanding la that when a ela
ble government la established In Mexl
oo Mr. Llnd will be named aa ambassa
dor. It la said the president la observing
with keen Interest the efforts of lead
ing Mexlcana to bring about peace and
will offer no suggestions until these
apparently prove futile. That Mr. Llnd
will be empowered to explain to all
Inquirers the unalterable opposition of
the American government to the rec
ognition of the Huerta admlnlatratlon

amendment were Included In It. Thla
sentiment Is understood to have In
duced Secretary Bryan to consent to
Its withdrawal.
