Mr.. Wilson was reticent when ques-
toned as to his policies on American
Intervention and recognition of Mex
leo by the United States. These views
he said, he felt he must reserve for
his conference with President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan
The ambassadors silence regarding
his opinion as to American recognition
was broken last night long enough for
him to comment on one of his acts
subsequent to the overthrow of Ma
dero. Mr.. Wilson recalled that this
act was interpreted in many quarters
as virtual recognition Notwithstanding
the refusal of his government at
Washington to admit the republic on
a diplomatic footing with other gov
ernments.
In February. when Huerta became
provisional president, the ambassador
instructed American consuls in Mexi-
co "in the interests of Mexico to urge
general submission and adhesion to
the government. which will be recog-
nized by all foreign governments to-
day"

Great English Poet Thought Of Un

About Drowned.

The poets emotions in the face of
death ought not to be unworthy of
record when that poet happens to be
one of the greatest of his time, If not
of all time.
Swinburne nearly lost his life in
the summer of 1868 while bathing,
The timely appearance of a fishing
smack prevented the premature silenc-
ing of the voice that was presently to
entrance the world with the Songs
Before Sunrise"
/ asked him what he thought about
in that dreadful contingency, and he
replied that he had no experience of
what people often profess to witness,
the concentrated panorama of past
life hurrying across the memory. He
did not reflect on the past at all. He
was filled with annoyance that he had
not finished his Songs Before Sun
rise" and then with satisfaction that
so much of it was ready for the press,
and that Mazzini would be pleased
with him.
II reflected with resignation that |
was exactly the same age as Shelley
was when he was drowned" he said
This. however was not the case
Swinburne had reached that age in
March, 1867; but this was part of a
curious delusion OF Swinburnes that
he was younger by two or three years
than his real age.
Then he began to be, l suppose,
little benumbed by the water, his
thoughts fixed on the clothes he had
left on the beach, and he worried his

Whence did they derive the art with

Assyrian king, Tiglath Pileser l., in

they retired across the Euphrates,
they perhaps continued to hold its
