STAND BY UNITED STATES
London Papers Urge Support OF
American Policy.
fRv cable 10 The Tribune. |

London. Nov. 3.-Some of the Lon
don papers, notably The Pail Mall
Gazette" are trying hard to get the
British government to stand with the
United States on the Mexico question
THE Gazette" declares this afternoon
that the building of the Panama Canal
makes il imperative that American
suzerainty shall prevail continuously
from Texas to the banks Of the canal
'Tt is manifest" says the paper,
that the government responsible for
the defence and management Of the
canal cannot take the risk of allowing
a regime TO establish itself in Mexico
or anY Of the South American repub-
lies which in critical circumstances
might attempt the thwarting of the
American policy. This principle we
have had occasion to invoke times
without number in the history of our
own expansion.
There is no lack Of sympathy, what
ever view this country takes of Amer
ica's imperial problems. BY compari-
son with the political interest the
United States has at stake and the
value we set on the growing friend
ship of the whole Anglo-SaXOn race,
the question who shall or shall not
preside in Mexico City is as dust in
the balance. That is the real state Of
British opinion on the subject Of Mex
leo, and it is the duty Of the British
government to make its policy corre-
spond with that opinion"
The Gazette" says there has been
misunderstanding in England as TO
recognizing Huerta.

quarters 1t has even been suggested that
the British government is considering the
appointment Of a successor.
Nothing has been heard by officials for
some time from Dublin, y. H.. where the
British Ambassador is staying. The last
news received from there was that the

plained that he was III before he left

The writer of the letter expressed the
opinion that Sir William Tyrrell. private
secretary TO Sir Edward Grey. the For
cign Secretary. was on a mission to IN
ouire into the "very mysterious business"
that Sir Cecil Spring Rice had not visited
the state Department at Washington
since May. This, IS pointed out, is
disproved by the fact that Sir William,
who had promised 10 pay visit to the
ambassador, an old friend. went when
he did at the request of Lady Spring

significance, officially or otherwise, but
was Just a visit OF one friend to another.

Too Much AthIeticisnn.

"As guardians of the public health,
it is time for us to make a stand
against this athletic craze" writes a
medical correspondent. "The swing
ing of ponderous clubs and dumbbells,
rowing heavy machines, pulling up
weights, walking Is or 20, miles a day
chasing golf ball, etc., are needless
and injurious to anyone. AS physi-
clans, We prescribe moderate exercise
for Emphatic and obese patients of
torpid temperament, and a few indi-
Gated movements to straighten up a
DETECTED spine or round shoulders,
etc, but we are careful to guard
against fatigue. Such exercise Is a
very different thing from the severe
and senseless efforts required by
teachers in gymnastics and exercise
fiends.
'If people would live long and
healthy" says the correspondent,
they should take their exercise under
the advice of a common-sense physi-
clan. The wrenching of muscles, ten
dons, ligaments, joints, nerves and
bloodvessels," he proceeds, "is giving
us all kinds of puzzling conditions,
traumatic neuroses, dislocated Wis
cera, etc, traceable to overexercise, If
we only knew where to look for it. !"
