Mr.. Lin greeted inquirers by asking
if it were true that Rear Admiral Mayo
had been ordered to revoke his demand
for the firing of a salute to the Ameri-
can colorS at Tampico and when he was
informed that President Wilson had in
sisted that the salute be fired he smiled
a~pproyingly.
The face of the former Minnesota
governor was bronZed by the tropical

about conditions in Mexico and laughed
when a friend approached him in the
hotel lobby and told him that he had
acquired the title THE Silent Mr..
