LIND REACHES CAPITAL
OPENS OFFICE IN EMBASSY
BuiLDiNG-No ATTEMPT TO
HARM HIM.

WESTERN newspaper Union news oerNice.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wilson let
1t be known that he was inclined to
believe there was an organized desire
proceeding from sources unknown
to him-to bring on war between
the United States and Mexico. The
President does not regard the move
ment as extensive, but as very
troublesome and referred to misrep-
reservations in some individual news
papers. He indicated that he shared
somewhat tie views of Senator Will
liams, who declared in a speech that
an organized lobby existed to involve
the United States in war.
There Is no occasion for alarm, In
the opinion of the President who told
callers that within the last forty-eight
hours the Mexican situation had i'm
proved materially. 1t was made clear
by the President to those with whom
he discussed the situation that the in
structions to John Lind, his personal
representative, were chiefly to in
form the American government how
things stood generally in Mexico and
Just what were the opportunities for
the good offices of the United States
in the interest of peace.
Lind Opens office.
Mexico City. Ex-Governor John
Lind, the personal envoy Of President
Wilson in Mexico City, installed him
self in temporary office at the United
States embassy as unofficial adviser
to the American charge d'affaires,
Nelson O'Shaughnessy. Mr.. Lind
passed several hours in close confer.
ence with the charge. discussing the
difficulties of the Mexican nation, for
which he, it is alleged, brings pan
acea.
London Press Comment.
London-ln an editorial the Daily
Graphic says:
"The mission Of John Lind to Mex
leo has all the disadvantages of med
dlesomeness without the advantages
of Intervention. 1t can have no ter
rors for President Huerta because no
force is behind it, and prudent men
will be thankful If it only fails de-
Gently"
The Times editorially agrees that
President Wilson is acting entirely
within his rights and says that 1t
would be good policy on the part Of
the Mexican government to listen to
Mr. Lind's representations In the spirit
in which they are made and not
irritate American opinion by sticking
about punctilio.

"MARITANA" Is SUNG WITH VIM
Tivoli Songbirds in he Mascot Next
Myrtle Dingwall Will
Be Seen in Spe-
cialty Act

Mariana Vincent Wallace's ro-
mantle opera. founded on the story
of Don Caesar de Bazan. is delighting
patrons of the Tivoli opera house this
week and the consensus of opinion is
that it is the very best offering made
beginning of the light opera season
last May. The beautiful numbers,
with which the score abounds, are
splendidly sung by Rene vivienne
leading the members of the company,
and the ensembles are unusually fine
The last performance of '.Maritana'
will be given Sunday afternoon and
evening, and on Monday night THE
Mascot" which has not been given
here for several years. will receive a
capital production.
This jolly comic opera by Audran,
the Frenchman who wrote "Olivette''
and many other big successes, is full
to the brim with fun, frivolity and
catchy melodies. and it would be safe
to say that there has hardly ever
been a more popular duet written
than the celebrated "Gobble" song,
which the shepherd, Pippo. and the
mascot" Bettina, sing in the first act.
act.
Two genuinely funny comic opera
characters are Lorenzo, prince of
Piombino, and Rocco, the superstitious
farmer, to whom the mascot" is sent
to change his luck, and another droll
character is Fiametta, Lorenzo s
daughter. In all there are 2s tuneful
melodies in The Mascot"
Rena Vivienne will jump from the
more serious music of Mariana to the
light but tuneful airs allotted Bet
tina in THE Mascot" and Sarah Ed
wards will be Fiametta. Henry San
trey should make an excellent Pippo,
and Robert G. Pitkin Will revel in the
role of Lorenzo. Thomas c. Leary,
the veteran comedian, has been spe-
cially engaged to play Rocco, a part
that he has interpreted with great
success on many occasions, and John
r. Phillips will be Frederic, prince of
Pisa. Charles z. Gallagher will be
the sergeant, and Myrtle Dingwall
will introduce speciality in the sec
ond act.
