GUS card on the table in his Office at
Dubuque. 1t bore the legend:

Que to Ignorance" Say kilograms
From Mexican Capital-Few OF

President Wilson's recommendation
that American residents OF Mexico
leave the country, is resented" by the
American colony in Mexico City; few
Americans intend to leave; if they do
leave their welfare and financial inter.
ests 'would be seriously prejudiced;"
the presidents acton was "unWar-
ranted'' and due to simple ignorance
OF what is actually transpiring in
MeXico"-this summarizes the con-
tents OF various kilograms OF protest
received in New York from Mexico
City.
Senior Sebastian Camacho, president
OF the Mexican senate, telegraphed to
James A. Scrymser, president OF the
Mexican Telegraph company, saying
the American colony lis satisfied and
tranquil and requesting him to call
President Wilson'S attention to the
tremendous damages which would re-
suit from his warning for which in all

The Methodist Episcopal board of
foreign missions received advices from
DR.. John w. Butler, super .ntendent of
its mission in Mexico City, saying that
the washington instructions for an
American exodus were much resent
ed by the American colony, that the
reasons given for it appear made
| quate" and that the missionaries there
objected to leaving.
With President Wilson at the sum
mer capitol in Cornish, N. H., and Sec
rotary of State Bryan lecturing in
Maryland, the waiting policy of the
government in the Mexican situation
became more emphasized.
Messages were received from John
Lind, the special American envoy at
Vera Cruz, which added assurances
to the already confident attitude of the
administration
| Mr.. Lind, it was authoritatively
stated, had no thought of returning to
the United States at this time and was
ready to proceed again to Mexico City
| at a moments notice.
Though in close touch with depart
ments in Washington and with Mexico
City, President Wilson announced no
i change in the Mexican situation.

dentally pointed out that while the
salaries of the ma jority of male teach
ers in the high schools average only
500. the teachers of agriculture were
receiving 1.200.
Lack of teachers is the expIana-
ton offered by the bureau. as the
cause for the higher remunerat ton for
those who teach agriculture.
Not only is it found that the aver
age pay of instructors in agriculture is
higher than other teachers, says the
bureau. but that teachers who are able
to give such instruction in addition to
regular work, command better salaries
