Just how far the ambassador went

statement that for nine months the
government has had deficit-increas-

The conference between the secre-
tary of state and the ambassador was
earnest and most harmonious. At the
close each spoke in the highest terms
of the other.
One of Wilson's first acts was to as
sure his chief that statement attrib-

Bryan $500 a day in lecture receipts"

The ambassador explained to the
secretary that many of the reports OF
insurgent success in Mexico were in
vented by the revolutionary junta in
this city. He explained the revolu-
tionary operations and dealt at length
with this phase of the matter in his
report to the President. This report
will be gone over with President Will

take up for solution the following prob

Besides making enlisted service more

OF missing a few short puts leaves
an impression on the mind much more

anything like accurate play would as

serious errors in the game of golf.
One is to follow your opponents lead
when be has missed the tee shot. and
the other to miss your approach when
playing one off two and in conse-
quence lose the hole. It is a more
disheartening experience than the
