London Newspapers See Embroilnent
For England In Mexican Snari.
London, Oct 23-The London neNe
papers are just awakening to the pos
sibility of an embodiment between ths
United States and Great Britain over
the Mexican situation.
The warnings heretofore have oil
emanated from Washington and New
York correspondents, the views Of the
British government, as made known in
the United States, not having been
published in London.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
There is evidently a grave ,misun-
derstanding between this country and
the United States in regard to the
Mexican crisis which should spea41ly
be removed. There are elements OF
danger in the situation which may
easily arouse strong feeling on both
sides of the Atlantic"
"It cannot be denied that President
Wilson had some grounds for com
plant against British policy in Mex
ico," says the Globe il commenting on
the Mexican situation.
The newspaper considers that q
grave mistake was made by the Brit.
ish foreign Office in its hasty recogni.
ton of Huerta, which was In such
marked contrast with its dignified de-
lay in recognizing King Peter Of Ser
via. 1t advances the view that the
foreign office attitude lends color to
the suspicion that it's policy is dictated
rather by political considerations than
by regard for the real interests Of the
nation.

ministry of lands, which win enable
him to override the barrier.
"The ministry of lands Is to be given
full power to acquire, at a reasonable
Fprice, all waste, .deFelict and neglected
tracts Of land and to plant them with
forests and to reclaim and drain the
springs on such land with a view to
their cultivation to the full limit of

yards from my tent an arrow and
wrapped about it a bit of paper bear

several of the ladies of the neighbor-
hood. OF one l begged the loan OF
needle and thread, of another little
baking powder, of another some qni-
nine. Each and every one of these
persons granted my request willingly,
but gained no information from any
one of them.
l discovered my girl, however, and
by accident, or rather, by taking ad-
vantage of seeing something that gave
a clew. Having occasion to visit the
express office at the railway station,
saw a box bearing the label Of vend
er Of sporting goods addressed to
Miss Clara Farnsworth. The size and
shape Of the box led me to believe that
it contained archery goods. l straight
way inquired which was the Farms
worth cottage. and my informant di-
rected me to one no nearer and no far
ther, than the rest but especially well
situated to get view of my camp.
Tagging Il bullet with Il note OF
thanks to Miss Farnsworth for her
kindness to me. fired the bullet into
a large tree in the front yard Of the
Farnsworth place. The next day a
note came to me through the post from
Mrs. FarrSworth acknowledging that
the family had seen my camp and
could not resist Il temptation to make
it more comfortable. The lady also exs
tended an invitation for me to call.

family to consist of one daughter nine
teen years old. Now that the secret
was out she enjoyed exceedingly my
description of my feelings at seeing

front yard. AS I had suspected. she
had watched me through an opera
glass on both occasions. The laugh
had heard in Imagination was real
one, though too far for me to hear.

Will Push Inquiry at London.

Washington, Oct. 23.|- DIPLOMATS
exchange between Ambassador Page
and the British foreign Office with re-
gard to Great Britain's attitude in
Mexico are likely to continue. Indica-
tions that Sir Lionel Garden. the Brit
ish minister to Mexico. does not hold
views in sympathy with the American
policy toward the Huerta governmenf
has caused concern to the Washington
government. The administration takes
the view that as the nearest neigh
bor' to Mexico the United States
should have free hand In trying to
bring about pacification. 1t is not nm
likely therefore that the reported
statement of the British minister that
the United States did not understand
conditions in Mexico, would be the
subject of further inquiry, with the
possibility that the episode may brine
about important developments.
