How did the name John Bull origi-
nate to designate Englishmen7 Was it
originally term of contempt7
The phrase was coined by a Scotch
man, and he made it fit the subject so
well that it became permanent and
classic 1t originated with DR.. John
Arbuthnot 1857 1855, a physician and
author, who, though born in Scotland,
lived most of his life in London. He
was the author of some scientific and
some satirical works, one Of the latter
being a pamphlet entitled Law Is a
Bottomless -Exemplified In the
Case of the Lord Strut, John Bull,
Nicholas Frog and Lewis Baboon.
Who Spent All They Had In Law
suit" This pamphlet was published
in 1712 and few years later was re-
printed, with four others. under the
title of History of John Bull" The
nickname was used by the author In a
satirical rather than a contemptuous
sense, and It stuck. In 1892 an Eng
lish horse named John Bull won the
Derby, and that helped the name
along, and in 1920 Theodore Hook
started comic paper called John Bull.
So, whether Englishmen liked the nick
name or not, they made the best of it.

itself is white. and such combinations
are fashionable.
On the figure the material is all
white. but still another effect could be
obtained by using color for the blouse
and white for the collar and sleeve
trimming. The laced closings make an
especially attractive feature.

SUNDAY SUMMARY OF
THE MEXICAN SITUATION

Washington, April 26.-Among
the most important happenings of
the day in the Mexican situation
were:
American Consul Canada reported
that Americans were being detained
in Mexico City because it was believ-
ed there that Mexicans were restrain
ed by Americans from leaving Vera
Cruz Immediate steps were taken
through the British embassy here
and the legation in Mexico City to
correct the impression prevailing in
the Mexican capital.
Unconfirmed reports of the kill
ing of four Americans in Mexico City
were called to the attention of the
Brazilian embassy here, with the re-
quest that it's legation in Mexico
City, now looking after American
interests there. seek verification.
Consul Canada, at Vera Cruz, sent
reports of anti-American demonstra-
lions and general unrest in Mexico
City. He heard that 125 Americans
We're put OF train at Pachucah by
the train crew, but that another train
had gone out from Mexico City to as
sist them in continuing their journey
to Vera Cruz.
Secretary Garrison announced he
had issued no orders for any further
troop movements, and that army Of
ficers were to use their own discre-
ton in protecting international brid-
ges on the border.
The German vessel Ypiranga,
whose consignment of war munitions
for Huerta caused the Americans to
peremptorily seize Vera Cruz, was
ordered back to Hamburg, Germany,
without landing her cargo.
The navy department dispatched
vessels up and down the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts of Mexico to take away
American consuls and refugees gem
orally. Between 1000 and $500
refugees already have been protected
or are en- route to the United States.
Secretary Bryan said Charge
O'Shaughnessy probably would leave
for the United States on the first
available ship.
Lieutenant-Generaa Nelson A.
Miles, retired, senior officer COM
manding the army in the Spanish
American War, called on Secretary
Garrison and General Wood and, it
is understood, offered his services
should war be declared
1t is announced that the interests
of the Mexican government here and
her consulates throughout the coun-
try would be looked after by the
Spanish embassy and consulates.
