 An explanation of the remarks of Sir Lionel Garden who criticized President Wilson's Mexican policy, Is expected to be forwarded by the British foreign of flee.
 Baron Von Schoen called on Acting Sec retary Lansing of the state department and personally repudiated an interview in which he was represented as saving that war between the United States and Japan was inevitable. The German secre- tary's explanation was accepted by Mir. Lansing, who said afterward that Baron Won Schoen mentioned it voluntarily while discussing other matters.
 The deduction official Washington has drawn from these occurrences is that Pres- ident Wilson looks with emphatic disfavor on the circulation of propaganda by the diplomatic representatives of any of the belligerents or governments if that pro- paganda is calculated to play on the patriotism or feelings of the American people in way that might involve the neutrality of the United States.

"Hanky Panky.

Burlesque in its best form was seen last night at the Jefferson theatre in the en- tertaining musical show, 'Hanky Panky,'' which highly delighted the audience. A tumble of jollification. catchy music and tunity for comedy work, the audience was kept in state of merriment from the rise of the curtain to the finish. The stunning chorus and appropriate stage settings gave additional pleasure to the show.
 While the fun last night was fast and furlous at times. there was not an objectionable line or an undesirable fea- ture. The costumes were in keeping with high class musical comedies and were new and pretty.
 The teamwork of Al and Fannie Sted-
 man, in the second act, was easily the l feature of the show. the other honors be- ing divided between Lester Bernard and Davy Jones, Dutch comedians, and Ralph
 Edwards, in a Hebrew character. Carlo Paula and Blanche Young and Virginia Evans and Louis Archer presented the serpentine tango and other dance num-
 hers with much grace and skill. The singing numbers were only fair so far as the principals were concerned, but they made up for the deficiency in their comedy lines and dancing.
 The opening scene represents Walling- fords villa on the Thames in England The trio of comedians undertake to sell him an Egyptian mummy. The mummy comes to life and causes much confusion Wallingford returns to Chicago the sec- ond act showing the campus of the uni versity. Tie most striking and pretty ensembles of the chorus are shown in this <act, that of the college girls being
 most effective. On the whole the show was very good and afforded much gen. tune amusement. c. H. M.
