STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT

Following is the official statement is
sued as representing the views Of
President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
in discussions in official circles in
Washington Of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
at has been pointed out that, in
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, the un-
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought Of alone. For some time
past the de facto government Of Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
gies sufficient when the rights of
American citizens or the dignity of
the government of the United States
were involved and has apparently
made no attempt at either reparation
or the effective correction of the seri-
Gus derelictions of it's civil and mill
tary officers.
Orderly Placed in Jail.
Immediately after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from one Of the
ships Of the United States in the har-
Dor of Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore to the post Office for the ships
mail, and who was in uniform and
who had the official mail bag on his
back, was. arrested and put into Jail
by the local authorities. He was sub
sequently released and nominal pun
ishment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but 1t was signifi-
cant that an orderly from the fleet Of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly go
ing shore on various errands, from
the various ships in the harbor, rep
resenting several nations.
Official Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious of all, the officials in
charge of the telegraph Office at Mex
leo City presumed to withhold an Off
cial dispatch of the government Of the
United States to its embassy at Mex
leo City, until 1t should have been
sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver 1t, and gave the
dispatch into the hands Of the charge
d'affaires of the United States only
upon his personal and emphatic de-
mand, he having in the meantime
learned through other channels that
a dispatch had been sent him which
he had not received.
United States Singled Out.
1T cannot but strike anyone who
has watched the course Of events in
Mexico as significant that untoward

President OF the French Republic
Pleased to Greet Humble Com

A pretty little incident that throws
a pleasing light upon the character Of
the president Of France occurred re-
Gently at a banquet given by the
French bar to President Poincare.
At the close Of the dinner N. Poin-

shook him by the hand. At the same
time the president managed to slip a
bank note into the waters palm.

and to the amusement and astonish-
ment Of the gue1ts there ensued a
friendly struggle between the waiter
and the president Of the republic.
M. Poincare ended the amicable dis
pute by pushing the note into the
mans pocket and good-naturedly slap
ping him on the back. The waiter
could not resist this sincere geniality.

The Iurn OF the rage
John Valiant stirred and laughed, a
little self-consciously, for there had
been drops on his face.
Presently he took a check-book from
his pocket and began to figure on the
stub, looking up with wry smile. ITO

He withdrew his caressing hand and
looked again at the check-stub. Twen-
ty-eight hundred! He laughed bleakly.
Why, he had spent more than that a
month ago on ball at Sherry's! This
morning he had been rich; tonight he
was poor!
What could he do? He could not

The Crash

"Fafled!" calculated John Valiant
Nlankly, and the hat he held dropped

fashion, from the silken ribbon on the

figure, with wide-set hazel eyes and
strong brown hair waving back from

Never had his innocuous and but
ter~fy existence known a surprise
more startling. He had swung into
the room with all the nonchalant hab-
its, the ingrained certitude of the man
born with achievement ready-made In
his hands. And a single curt state

day organizations: he sat now in the
fading afternoon trying to realize that
the huge fabric, without warning, had
toppled to its fall.
How solid and changeless 1t had
always seemed-that great business
fabric woven by the father he could
90 dimly remember! His own invested
fortune had been derived from the
great corporation the elder Valiant
had founded and controlled until his
death. With almost unprecedented
earnings, 1t had stood as very Glib
raltar of finance, type and sign OF
brilliant organization. Now, on the
heels of a trusts dissolution which
would be nine-days' wonder, the vast
structure had crumbled up like card

the floods had come, and 1t had fallen!

ENERGY FROM A SUGAR DIET
Experiments Have Shown That It Has
I Wonderful Effect Upon the
Human Body.

The Psychologist who discovered
that your liver and your muscles
manufacture sugar while you sleep
has been supposed by the German
physician who uses sugar dissolved In
water as an excellent surgical dress
ing for all sorts of wounds.
DFs. Jacques PRnsot and Pierre
Nathieu have declared that when ami
mails eat sugar exclusively for long
periods their weight at first decreases,
soon begins to mend and then fall
away again as the diet continues.
DR.. H. Heald of Tacoma Park, D. c.,
disagrees with the laboratory findings.
He says sugar is comparable to gaso-
line. AS the latter is the fuel Of the
internal combustion engine, 80 sugar
is the fuel Of the human machine.
Sugar, he says, Is the stan OF life,
and man can produce more energy
from sugar than from any other food.

tives of other governments were con-

that there has been no occasion for
other governments to call attention to
such matters or to ask for apologies.
"These repeated offenses against
the rights and dignity Of the United
States, offenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives of other
governments, have necessarily made
the impression that the government

ures he has adopted.
President Mckinley went so far as
to send an expedition to Peking dur
ing the Boxer revolt.
In 1851 the United States sloop of
war Dale visited the island Of Johan-
ma and under threat of bombarding the
town obtained $1,000 as a measure of
redress for the unlawful imprison-
ment of the captain of an American
whaler.
In 1863 the Pembroke, small Amer
ican steamer, was fired upon by Jap
anese shore batteries. The American
minister demanded redress for the in
suit to the American flag, and the
commander of the United States war
ship Wyoming opened fire on the re-
sponsible Japanese authorities.
Example Set by Seward.
Secretary of State Seward in an Of
ficial note made the following state
ment, apropos Of this incident:
When the injury involves also an
insult to the flag of the United States
the demand for satisfaction must be
imperative, and the United States
naval force at Japan may not only be
used to protect the legation and any Of
the citizens Of the United States there
resident but the Tycoon is to be In
formed that the United States will
as they shall find occasion, send addi-
tional forces to maintain the forego-
ing demands"
What President Wilson is doing Is
in line with the recorded precedents.
He has demonstrated and satisfaction
has been refused. He is about to
make naval demonstration. AS JET
ferson said, such an act "is considered
an act Of war and never failed to pro-
duce 1t in the case of narion able to
make war"
