Washington, April 15.-An
official statement, representing
the views of President Wilson
and the administration. issued
today, said: E'1n the discussions
in official circles in Washington
of the present Mexican situation
the following points have been
very much dwelt upon: 1t has
been pointed out that in consid-
ering the present somewhat del
icate situation the unpleasant
incident at Tampico must not be
thought of alone. For some
time past the de facto govern
ment seemed to think mere apol-
ogies sufficient when the rights
Of American citizens or the dig
nifty of the government of the
United States were involved,
and has apparently made no at
tempt at either reparation or eff
fective correction of serious der
elections of it's civil and military
officers.
Immediately after the Tam
pico incident an orderly from
one of the American ships at
Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore for the ships mail and
who wore a uniform and with g
mail bag on his back, was ar.
rested and put into jail by loca
authorities. He was subsequent
ly released and nominal punish
ment inflicted upon the Officer
who arrested him, but it was
significant that an orderly from
a fleet of the United States was
picked out from many persons
constantly going ashore on vari
GUS errands from various ships
in the harbor representing sew
eral nations.

In the house and on the street.
Tango halls and tango teas,
Tango dinners, if you please,
Tango wrenches, tango sprains,
Newest cures for tango pains,
Tango tunes from which to choose
Tango blouses, tango shoes,
Tango skirts, split to the knee,

On the shapliest of limbs;

Since 1894 Prof. Sperati had at in
tervals been connected with the Pa

offering his services in promotion of
the important work which the people
OF the Norwegian Lutheran Synod
look to Luther College to accomplish.
Although, as appears from the fore

to be congratulated on having his
services.
ii is especially fortunate that he
will lead the band on this visit.
Besides the band Prof. Sperati has

1906 and 1871, and one eastward
into Wisconsin and Illinois in 1908.
The Band, under the directorship
