C„ Aug. 22.—The Mexican situation is a closed incident, j in the opinion of Secretary Bryan. | In discussing the entry of General ' Carranza into Mexico City the Secre- | tary showed to-day great elation over' the turn of events in Mexico and I seemed to take pleasure in drawing a j j contrast between the fact that Car . ranza was bedecked with flowers by the people of Mexico City and the | grim prophecies that had been made j regarding the anarchy which would | I result if the Constitutionalists got to ' i the capital. , As a matter of fact. Francisco Villa i is giving must administration officials ' i as much real concern as at any time lin the Mexlca situation. The fear of \ j what Villa may do. combined with the I j belief that Carranza has proved him- I j self a jealous, obstinate old man rather j j than a great statesman with a broad | view of things, leads most officials i i here regard the Mexican situation now ' | as in a very delicate state. Carranza has been deluged with ] advice from Washington on behalf of | | the administration, yet the fact re- ; mains that he has not yet done a f i single thing of importance that the | i t'nited States has asked him to do. i Through special agents and his own ! i advisers the State Department has | | sought to bring Carranza to adopt a ; J more conciliatory course recently ] ; toward President Carbajal and con i stantly with regard to Villa.

The military authorities are contenting themselves with a , brevity of announcement surpassing I that said to have been employed by ' the late Field Marshal Yon Moltke. II The Berlin papers express admira- I! tion for the swiitness of the German advance, but make no comment on i the German tactics. They occupy 11 themselves almost solely with the cor : i espondence between Prince Henry . • 1 Prussia, King George and Emperor i William, which was exchanged just before war was declared, and was : published for the tirst time yesterday. 11 The papers are unanimous in the ■ J opinion that these documents, with 1 the dispatches exchanged by the Em ! peror of Russia and the German Em- Ipeior, prove completely that Ger . I many, until the last moment, sought j her utmost to maintain peace with i Russia and France. Germany, it is declared, desired to ' prevent war with France and sought •|onl> u guarantee of French neutrality, j England, however, refused to help in j obtaining such guarantee and there i fore, it is reasoned, England in the j tirst place was the cause of the war 11 between France and Germany.

Two more French guns have j been brought to Strassburg. The American Ambassador, James! YV. Gerard, publishes in the newspaper! [a denial of reports that Americans; ,! have been ill treated in Germany. He ' j states that some few were arrested during the first days of the war, but I adds that such mishaps are almost un avoidable during big wars and that in i all cases those arrested were speedily . | liberated. j ' Americans in Germany," says the 1 • Ambassador, "enjoy as great security! las they do in America.
