ASK EXPLANATION
OF GREAT BRITAIN
Ambassador Page Makes For
NAL Inquiry as to Action Held
Slap at United States.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 21.-While
there was no change in either the
ssatas 81 aifaars-at Mexico city or the
American policy, an international
phase of the Mexican situation that
attracted wide attention last night was
the formal inquiry made yesterday by
Ambassador Page at London as to
what was construed here as an unsym-
pathetic attitude toward the United
States taken by Sir Lionel Garden,
the British minister to Mexico.
1t is understood that the basis of
the inquiry was a confidential report
to the state department. the contents
of which we're not divulged here. 1t
is known, however, that what particu-
larly displeased both President VIII
son and Secretary Bryan was the pre-
sentation by Sir Lionel of his creden-
tials to Provisional President Huerta
the very day after the latter had pro-
claimed himself dictator.
The American government felt that
Huerta's nullificP ion of the Mexican
constitution, not only by his arrest of
the deputies, but by his assumption of
legislative powers, had so altered af-
fairs in the Mexican capital that the
British minister might well have with
held his presentation of credentials.
Inquiry was directed to determine
whether the British foreign Office had
instructed Sir Lionel TO present his
credentials, Notwithstanding HueTta's
assumption of power.
The explanation of the British for
| eign Office quoted in press dispatches
that the presentation of the creden.
tials was merely a coincidence and
| not antagonistic to the American point
was not commented upon by officials
last night
Diplomatic circles Interpreted the
new development as strongly intimat

ing with the Mexican problem.

It is highly probable that this dish,
whether called "ecrevisse" or "crawf1sh,
is unfamiliar to many Of my American
readers. I feel I shall be doing them
service by familiarizing them with this
subject No one can discuss French
cookery at length without referring to
"ecreVisses" from time to time.
The ecrevisse or French crawish is
small crustacean, in form like a lobster,
and taking bright red color when cooked
like its larger cousin I am informed
that the crawfsh is abundant along the
Atlantic coast of the United States. 1t is
possible that as the American crawfish
is so much less used than the French,
it is inferioF-to the French in favor, but
I am by no means certain Of that Prob

were thoroughly understood it would be-
come as popular in America as in France.

There are HISTORIANS in Asiatic Turkey

Already in its infancy the HISTORIAN Church
sent out missionaries, who travelled every
where and spread knowledge about Chris
tianity and the teachings and dogmas OF
NestoTigs.
These missionaries crossed what is to-day
called Russian and Chinese Turkestan, and,
following the trade route north of Thibet,
which is older than history, they penetrated
into China and through the provinces of
Kansu and Shensi reached Sian-fu, where
they were kindly received by the mighty
Tang emperors.
The Emperor Taitsung and his successor,
Kautsung received Nestorianism favorably,
and the missionaries from Syria were al
lowed to preach and erect churches And
in the year 781, or 1,130 years ago, they de-
cided to erect a tablet commemorative their
arrival and work in China.
