The ban upon rag dancing which
was pronounced by the authorities Of the
George Washington University nearly a
year ago has at last been lifted and Off
riai sanction has been given by the fac
uIty to the onc-step, fish walk, and the
tango.
In removing the ban, the faculty failed
to give its stamp of approval to the tur-
key trot, and there is much uncertainty
as to whether this form OF dance Will
be permitted.
The prescription was revoked upon the
request of a committee of freshmen who
are desirous of having the most modern
dances permitted at the freshman ball
TO be held at Rauscher's on the even
ing Of December l. The committee con-
ferred with Dean William A. Wilbur and
after a thorough discussion Of the mat
ter the ban was raised. While sanction
ing the one-step, the fish walk, and the
tango. the faculty emphasized the point
that these dances must be executed with
propriety and moderation, and announced
that any vulgar" dancing would be
prohibited.
The ban on rag dancing was pro-
nounced Immediately following last
years freshman ball The ball started
with waltzes and two-steps, but toward
the latter part Of the evening the rag

Clearing the Ground for Better Things in
Mexico.

Mr. Henry Lane Wilson's retirement from the Am
bassadorship TO Mexico causes no surprise II was
foreseen when he called home to give an account
of Mexican conditions and Of his own stewardship.
The chief comment to be made upon 1t is that 1t
ought to have occurred long before. For months II
had been notorious that he and the government
which he nOminally represented were not in accord
as 10 the policy TO be pursued toward Mexico. In
those circumstances his services could he OF little
value if they were not actually mschievous. When
after that he came home and publicly proclaimed his
opposition TO the announced policy Of the government
the end of his ministry at hand.
II might indeed he said that his usefulness ended
more than five months ago, when he issued that as
founding message TO all the American cOnsuls in
Mexico urging them actively intervene In the do
nestle politics Of Mexico for the support Of Iuerta
and proclaiming the immediate recognition OF that
murderous usurper by "a foreign governments"
Making all possible allowance for all the trying cir
cumstances by which Mr.. Wilson was then beset,
that message must be held to have betrayed an ex-
traordinary misconception of duty sufficient to re-
ouire the prompt conclusion Of his services
The immediate appointment of a successor to Mr..
Wilson would manifestly be impossible seeing that
no government exists in Mexico which is recognized
by us and TO which a ambassador could be ac-
credited For that reason his resignation Will not
become effective until the middle Of October though
doubtless in the intervening time his functions Will
be suspended and the embassy will be under the
charge Of it's secretary. BY October If we may hope
TO see conditions In Mexico so improved that it will
be possible to appoint another ambassador who can
enter without embarrassment upon relations with
recognized government For such consummation,
and especially for the benefcent part which our gov
eminent may perform in bringing it about. the re-
tIrement Of Mr. Wilson should clear the ground.
