GOVERNOR JOHN LIND
AND HIS DANGEROU US
MISSION TO MEXICO

The visit of Gov. John Lind of
Minnesota as special envoy from
President Wilson TO the City of Mex
leo has been described as a perilous
mission. lie goes TO confer with the
American Minister at the city Of
Mexico and not TO butt into MeXico's
affairs. President Iluerta has been
disposed TO snub him but later promis
ed to protect him.
There was manifest antagonism
toward him on his arrival At Vera
Cruz.
Unfortunately there Is an element
I'm the United states senate disposed
to plunge this nation into a war with
Mexico The late Ambassador, Henry
Lane Wilson, urged recognition o'
Mexico, but Preident Wilson has won
the admiration OF other powers boy
his coolness I'm dealing with the mat
ter.
II has been suspected that the late
Ambassador has personal reasons Tor
urging recognition. II is suspected
that he Is under Huerta's influence
and Il has been suspected that the ewar
advocates I'm the senate ere prompt
ed by selfish designs while 1t has
been charged on the floor Of the sca-
pss that the administration leans TO

President Wilson G.. Us upon ccn.
gress for sober nJt-iotic considcra
tion ana democrats and conservative
republicans insist that the American
Congress must not do anything rash
or unwise.
If Mexico will show disposition
for peace and Iluerta Will get ont OF

very few days, but stubbornnoss
and ill advised conduct either In
washington or Mexico. may plunge
the two countries I'm war then other
powers would come In for share
of the spoils and the end is not easi-
ly foreseen.
There Is no doubt but what half
million men In this country would
respond to call to arms. One man
IN Houston has already offered to
muster a regiment and one man said
here this week that Texas can easily /.
furnish fifty regiments on short mo-
tice
