WILSON WILL GIVE
WARNING TO MEXICO
Regardless of Consequences Policy
Will Be Adopted TO Restore Or
der South of Rio Grande.

WASHINGTON, June President
Wilson announced today that he prob
ably would defer making public his
statement on the Mexican affairs until
tomorrow morning. 1t is expected that
he will give notice to the warning fac
tions in Mexico that they must COM
pose their differences and establish
some form of government to which the
United States may look for the estab-
fishing of law and order.
Though the moment may be unpro.
pitous, the President has decided to
abandon the policy Of forbearance that
has marked the attitude of the United
States toward Mexico for the past two
years. He has come to the conclusion
that unless Mexico proves capable OF
setting its own house in order, the
United States must act
This may mean intervention. Those
most conyersant with affairs in Mexi
| 60 are convinced that it viii mean in
| tervention ultimately They are skep
| teal OF the ability of the present Mex
/ lean leaders TO reach an understanding
| that would permit them to conside
ways and means of composing thei
differences.
Advisers of the. President believi
that when he informs Carranza, Wills
and the Others concerned that tn
| United States itself win ''act' if
stable government is not estabishe
within a reasonable period conven
tion viii be called and a man chose
Tor the Presidency to which all fat
tions will pledge support. This is tn
optimistic view of the situation.
Whatever the consequences, Presiden
Wilson is about to abandon watchfl
| waiting over Mexico and substitute
policy calculated to restore order sout
Of the Rio Grande. This action wi
be taken despite the strained relation
, with Germany If the administration
hopes are fulfilled the revolutfonist
Will soon lay down their arms and met
in .'eommon council with a view
the establishment of governmei
with which the United. States and Il
other powers may deal in amity.

The Mexican Problem,
llennington Ranner.l

Day by day it becomes more evident
that Mexico will never have a settled and
substantial government until the United
States steps in and establishes one and
stays BY until it IS IN working order. In
order to allay unjustifed suspicion Ar
gentine, Brazil and Chile ought to be in
vited to participate. 1t is a disagreeable
duty, but it ought to be done and it IS not
creditable to shirk the job any longer.

VAUDEVILLE
Keith's

It's ffty-dfty between David Blspham
and Julian Rose for honors at keith's
this week. Mr.. Bispham received an
ovation from those who liked music with
a dash OF drama and Mr. Rose undoubt-
edly broke the laugh record.
IL was very evident that many music
lovers who admired his work on the con-
cert stage followed Mr.. Bispham into
vaudeville. The mere announcement of
his selection brought applause. He did
not resort to the old 'stand-bys," which
concert singers usually dole out, but
gave a program OF choice variety There
was an Italian love song for the romanti-
cally inclined, n vigorous and snappy
number, "The Dancing Master" for
those who like quick rhythm; banjo
song and Danny Deever," by request.
The last mentioned brought the versatile
baritope's act to close with prolonged
applause which stopped the show"
1t was then up to Mr.. Rose TO turn the
thoughts of the audience toward comedy
and he did. He let those present in on
some confidential matters regarding
Levinsky's wedding. He told In detail
not only eff the dresses which were pres
ent and not present but also described
the vegetables used at the wedding feast.
He made 1t very plain that cowardly
tomato is one that hits you in the back
and runs, and gave some good advice
when eating certain kinds of food. He
especially recommended that careless
man should wear a dark brown vest when
spooning with the gravy.
Wilson Mizner, author of "The Deep
Purple" and other successful plays, pre-
sented "Ships That Pass in the Night" q
tabloid police drama. The story Is told
by six characters we'll portrayed. Lillian
Dilworth, as a derelict. and John w. Lott,
as a society man of humane instincts, are
worthy of special mention.
The offering scintillates with wit and
many of the lines are little sermons on
real life worth remembering The play
let was we'll received.
Other acts included McWatters and
Tyson in "a Revue of Revues," Lightner
Sisters and Alexander. the Six American
Dancers, Jack and Toris, Goldsmith ana
Hoffe and Robert Everetts Novelty
Circus.
