Mr.. Wilson told some amusing
anecdotes Of the manner in which
Mr.. Bryan conducted the country's
foreign affairs while he headed the
state department.
"Bryan ran the state department
like the back kitchen Of n restaur-

Once he received telegram from
Mr.. Bryan instructing him to ask the
Mexican government, then headed by
victoriano Huerta, to Join with the
United States in recognizing the new
Chinese republic.
Another time Mr.. Bryan instructed
him to seek tho cooperation Of the
Huerta government in one of Bryan's
universal peace movements.
He considered these instructions
rather peculiar in dealing with q

was then refusing to recognize.
Frequently Mr.. Bryan would send

DENY MEXICAN REQUEST.
Senator Knox Says Troops Won't
March Thru v. s.
H., preaq

by Associated Press.
Washington. April 17.--Senator
Knox. republican. Pennsylvania. told
the senate today that he was in
formed that the state department had
refused the request OF Mexican ofri-
GERS to permit them to transport
troops thru American territory to
move against the anti-Carranza
rOrccs in Sonora.
Senator Knox said later privately
that he had taken his information
from tho New York Sun which said
The american government will not
grant permission for the transporta-
ton OF Mexican troops across the
United States"
An hour before the senate met. the
Mexican request had .5ssT .vfe:. %
TO the war department which had 1t
under consideration.
Senator Knox's statement was
made in response to vigorous pro-
tests by Senator Smith and Ashurst
of Arizona. against granting the re-.
quest
Mexico's request for permission to
send troops thru American territory
has been referred to the war de.
partmont by the state department..
In announcing this today state de-
pnrtment officials said the request
had not come officially from the
Mexican government as they stated
yesterday, hut from h;S,i officers 9!
the Mexican army.
While the department was consid-
crng the request Henry Lanc Wilson.
former ambassador to Mexico con-
tlnued his testimony before a senate
committee relative to Mexican AZ
fairs. }
"rhe peculiar motives wnicn 49,
duced President Wilson to adopt the.
policy, or rather. lack OF policy. to-
ward Mexico, were derived evidently
from the obsess!on that all knowledge
and all power rests in the executive.

the idea that he had a mandate from;
the American people to reverse all
foreign policies of his predecessors IN
