Only Hand of Iron Can Control
Mexico, Wilson Ignorant, De
clares Henry Beardsley.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Dec. 27.—Henry Beards -
ley. president of the Beardsley bank
ing concern in New York, gave The
American's correspondent to-day his
opinion of what he termed "Wilson’s
dilatory policy in Mexico."
Mr. Beardsley, who has first-hand
knowledge of the conditions in Mex
ico, said that in his opinion the
President made a bad mistake at the
outset by not recognizing Huerta.
"Until President Wilson learns that
it is impossible to govern Mexicans
except with a hand of iron, he will
fail to solve the great problem. Al
ready he has allowed the situation to
get no bad that it seems now to be
Impossible to handle it with anything
but armed force,” says Mr. Beardsley.
• Had Huerta the support of the
United States in the first place va
rious brigand leaders would have felt
but little confidence in the ultimate
success of their selfish aims and con
sequently would have allied them
selves to the existing Government.
“With the Huerta government
weakening because of lack of support,
the rebel forces under unscrupulous
leaders are closing in on the capital
from the north and south, and when
the Huerta administration falls we
• hall have the edifying spectacle ot
another war between the north and
eouth of Mexico, with the result just
as fruitless as before.
"In my opinion, the only solution
la for us to assume complete control
in Mexico, although I can not sea
what the ultimate benefit will be to
the United States at large. Such in
tervention could benefit private inter
ests only, but it must bo admitted
that Mr.Wilson has now placed armed
intervention within the realm of pos
sibility."
Mr. Beardsley declared that outside
of the Mexican question he tv as an
ardent admirer of President Wilson’s
policies. He expressed the opinion
that the President’s Mexican policy
was due wholly to his ignorance of
the real conditions there.

out that King Alfonso, recently in Paris,
took lunch with the Princess Marie of
Sweden, who tied from the Swedish
court because life was too humdrum,
and whose husband, Prince William, is
about to sue for a divorce.
Alfonso expressed a desire to meet

expense of dignified diplomats. The
Grand Puke and Grand Duchess Cyril

NICE, Dec. 27.—The Riyiera is
never particularly lively at Christmas
time, but it certainly has never been
duller than during the present week.
The arrival list is exceedingly small,
and about the only place one sees
any life Is at Monte Carlo, where the
play lias been worth watching dur
ing the iast few days.
The other afternoon a well-known
German strolled into the new room at
the Casino and planked down tlie
maximum on 32 and all around It.
Thirty-two promptly came up twice
in succession, and the German picked
up his winnings and strolled over to
the trente et quarante table, where
he put the maximum on noir et coul-
eur, and up this came six times in
succession.
They Play Strong Game.
Mr. Hudson, the "soup king." has
been playing a stout game, and a
stout Russian, who never plays with
anything smaller than a plaque, has
been worth watching. Don Jaime de
Bourban is another who bus been
having a dush at the games without
much success.
’’Kid" McCoy is at Nice, getting fit
for the match he hopes to arrange
with Georges Carpentler. For a man
of 41 he is certainly in wonderful fet
tle, and the French boy will not have
things all his own way. McCoy re
ceived a challenge by wire from Sam
Langford the other day, but Mrs. Mc
Coy absolutely refuses to let him
tlgiit a negro. When he has nothing
better to do he spends the afternoon
with Maurice Maeterlinck. Their
conversation is rather restricted, as
the ’ Kid's" knowledge of French is
about on a par with Maeterlinck’s
English, which is anything but his
1 strong point.
I At 71 He Dances Tango.
Marmaduke Richardson, better
I known as "the Puke," is in great
form, despite his 71 years. He was
seen dancing the tango the other
night. The tango disease, by the way,
is spreading rapidly and resolving it
self into an epidemic.
A couple of young Americans who
have been painting Nice red recently
broke all records at an all-night res
taurant by consuming 40 bottles of
champagne between the hours of 1
and 7 a. m. It is not at all surpris
ing to learn that one of them has not
been seen since. All the usual Christ
mas festivities are going on.

ROME, Dec. 27.—Colonel E. H.
Trevathan, of Texas, who for the last
three months has been on an auto
mobile tour of France and Italy, ac
companied by his wife and daughter,
was arrested in Rome, charged with
having «'xeeeded tin* three months
circulation of the motor permit which
was granted to him at the time he
crossed the French border.
Colonel Trevathan explained that
he had not been in Italy more than 25
days altogether; that, after entering
Italy in September, he went back to
Nice, and that on re-entering this
country the customs officials failed
to warn him that his permit was good
only for three consecutive months.
Notwithstanding his explanations,
the highest line, $100, was imposed.
The American Consulate here has
taken up the matter with the Finance
Department, in the hope of having
the fine reduced to $40.
Colonel Trevathan has declared he
also will lodge a protest with the
Royal Automobile Club of England.

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON. P»*c 27. According to the
Jewish Year Book, which is Just out,
the number of Jews in the world now
•xceeds 13.000.000 made up thus:
Europe, 0.950.175; Asia, 484,359; Africa,
404.830; America. 2.194,061; Australia.
19.415; total. 13.052.846.
Previous estimates had been consid
erably below the actual figures, owing
to the adoption of the 1897 Russian cen
sus figures, which estimated the Jews
in Russia as 5,215,805, while the latest
Russian census returns show there are
6.064.415. The vast exodus of Jews In
recent times from the Czar's dominions
have been more than offset by the in
ternal growth of Russian Jews.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON. Dec. 27.—There is a
great possibility that the next Prime
Minister of Great Britain will be the
son of an American woman.
That man is Winston Churchill,
now first Lord of the Admiralty, the
son of Lady Randolph Churchill, for
merly the beautiful Miss Jennie Je
rome, of New York.
Not that Mr. Asquith contemplates
voluntarily relinquishing the burdens
of the office of the Premier, much as
it is said he would like to do so. He
is not the kind of man, to quote Abra
ham Lincoln, "to swap horses in mid
stream." Mr. Asquith will see the
home rule bill passed finally into op
eration next April, or he will die with
hi» cabinet fighting in the attempt.
But there is one thing certain he
docs not want to do, and that is to
make a fresh appeal to tho country on
the home rule question. If forced to
do so—and many believe this event
will be inevitable—it is almost certain
that a Unionist government will be
returned. and with it Winston
Churchill at its head.
Signs Show Trend.
For a long time the signs have not
been wanting to show which way the
wind is blowing for the adventure
some young first Lord. Day by da>
political events multiply to show that
lie is getting restless in the ranks of
the Liberal party, and at the same
time the Liberal party is becoming
highly nervous about hfhi. Mr.
Churchill’s yachting trips with Aus
ten Chamberlain, his frequent dinners
with F. E. Smith, who is one of the
principal hopes of the imionists; his
week-ends with his cousin, the Duke
of Marlborough, whose anxiety to
hold office in the next Unionist gov
ernment is almost painful to behold—
all tell their tale of the trend of
Churchill, besides proving very try
ing to radical nerves.
It is not that these social amenities
are in themselves disturbing, but. re
inforced by other signs, they betoken
coming alienation from the advanced
Liberal policy. Since his transfer
ence from the Home Office to the Ad
miralty they are a constant source of
glowing irritation to his party. Cou
pled with this is Mr. Churchill’s well-
known penchant for always being on
the winning side and the fact that the
Unionist party needs him badly.

PARIS, Dec. 27.—The American
members of the exclusive La Boulie
Golf Club, near Versailles, have sup
plied Paris with another social wrin
kle by initiating the post golf tango
habit. The inaugujral dance took place
under American auspices in the club
house this week.
At 4 o’clock when the failing light
rendered golf impossible, fashionable
Frenchmen and women and a large
American contingent llocked to the
pavilion and passed an hour tangoing
before automobiling to Paris.
The La Boulie Club has also taken
up the "five o’clock line” habit which
Andre De Fouquieres, the French co
tillion leader, introduced at Paris sa
lons. Instead of partaking of tea in
the afternoon, society women are now
drinking red wine and eating grapes,
because they are told this refresh
ment is not only more delectable, but
is better for the complexion than tea.
Social Activity Slumps.
The social activity of Americans
has slumped sharply this week, the
entertaining being confined to private
Christmas parties. The Countess
Stanislas De Castellane has been the
only hostess to give large dinners,
lihe was the prettiest woman at the
important diplomatic dinner given
Tuesday by the Spanish Ambassador.
The Countess also entertained the
Grand Duchess Vladimir early in the
week. When the latter left for St.
Petersburg, a fashionable crowd ac
companied her to the station.
The popularity of Montmartre res
taurants with Americans was again
emphasized this week when a new
night restaurant, the Savoy, was
opened. The restaurant Is a small, ex
clusive affair, located near Place
Pigaille, and is designed to attract
Americans. The only prominent
American present on the opening
night, however, was William O. Islin,
who entertained a large supper party.
Mrs. Barry Stewart assumed the
role of a tango hostess this week, and
among her many guests were the
Duchess De La Rochefoucauld and
Lady Duff-Gordon.
Prince Paul Troubletzkoy, the
sculptor, whose wife was Amelie
Rives, will sail for New York this
w’eek and will do a bust of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt upon the return
of the latter from South America.
Many Go to the Riviera.
The exodus to the Riviera is in
creasing each day. Mr. and Mrs.
Mortimer Singer are now at Cannes.
Mrs. ,T. W. Mackay, mother of Prin
cess Stigliano Colonna, is at Nice,
and Mrs. M. T. Geraghty and her
daughters from Chicago are at Monte
Carlo. Miss Guernee has closed her
apartment in the Champs Elysees and
joined her brother. Augustus, at his
villa at Nice. Jules Rolshoven, w r ho
recently closed his studios at Florence
and Paris, will shortly sail for New
York, where he will exhibit his paint
ings.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leiter, of Chi
cago, who are cruising in the Medi
terranean on the yacht Niagara, ac
companied by a party of friends, sail
ed from Naples Friday for Cairo
where they will spend a portion of
the winter months.

PARIS, Dec. 27.—The American
society leaders here have lost their
Russian Grand Dukes and Grand
Duchesses, and with their departure
for different parts of Europe the win
ter’s social whirl has materially slack
ened. The greatest loss has been
caused by the departure of the Grand
Duchess Anastasia of Meeklenberg-
Schwerin to the Riviera, after spend
ing a few brisk months as the chief
guest at the tea and supper tango
parties.
These affairs, which have been
given in the majority by Americans,
have proved the liveliest feature of
ihe season. Prior to leaving for
Cannes the Grand Duchess acted as
chaperon in Paris for a week for Mrs.
Grahame White, formerly Dorothy
Taylor, and the winsome American
wife of the British aviator.
Has a "Flatiron" Form.
The towering "flatiron" form of the
Grand Duchess, who is six feet two
inches tall and insists upon wearing
futurist gowns of glarTng colors, was
a familiar figure at a smart sans
souci, tango palaces and chic restau
rants. The Grand Duchess prides
herself on her extensive American ac
quaintanceship.
Since the opening of the present
season she has met in ballrooms and
at dinner tables Mrs. W. B. Leeds,
Anthony Drexel, Duchess De La
Rochefoucald (nee Mitchell), Princess
Albert Radzivvill, Countess Stanislaus
DeCastellane (nee Terry), Mr. and
Mrs. Perry Belmont, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Lehr and Mrs. Moncure Rob
inson. as well as numerous less prom
inent members of the American col
ony.
Although 53 years old, the Grand
Duchess is still vivacious as a kit
ten, and claims to be the best royal
tango dancer in Europe. Her oft-
recurring desire for a social fling
forces her to cling to Paris, because
some years ago the Kaiser banned her
from the Prussian court, and she
rarely sees her daughter, the wife of
the Crown Prince. She also is ostra
cized by other European courts, and
the only people who tolerate her so
dally are the French and American
hostesses, who regard her battering
of court etiquette only with amuse
ment. Paris makes full allowance
for her effervescent Romanoff spirits.
Like Young Princess Marie.
Just as the young Russian Prin
cess Marie had to flee to Paris re
cently because she could not tolerate
the stiff, unbending ceremony forced
upon her at Stockholm after her
marriage to Prince Frederick of Swe
den, so the Grand DucheSs of Meck-
lenburg-Schwerin, who before her
marriage was Anastasia Michailovna,
could not help breaking the bonds of
German court restraint and flitting to
Paris for social freedom. She plans
entertaining on a large scale this
winter in her villa at Cannes, w r hich
is always an open house to American
guests.
TEACHES PUPILS TO DANCE
BT USE OF WRITTEN SIGNS
Princess Giovannelli Predicts
That Even Vatican Element of
Society Will Be Converts.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Dec. 27.—At her new
studio in Chelsea, Miss Margaret
Morris Is teaching her pupils to dance
from signs written upon paper, like
music.
"I do not, of course, rely upon this
form of Instruction only,” said Miss
Morris to-day, "but a written lan
guage of dancing is very useful, for
pupils are enabled by It to take their
lessons home with them, and, by
reading their steps over, to k®p
themselves In touch with their work.
Besides, It will now be possible to
record Jnaces for future use, even to
publish books of dances and ballets,
like opera scores. I mean to do it
myself some day, when there are
enough people capable of reading the
language.”
To Illustrate her method, Miss Mor
ris wrote some new steps on a black
board, and these were read and
danced Immediately by her pupils.
The signs are written in bars, to cor
respond with the music. Curious
heavy signs, like those on a tempera
ture chart, denote the expression of
face required; below these are lines
which Instruct the pupil as to the
movement of the arms, while at the
bottom are little pointed marks from
which the motions of the feet are
read.
Rampolla’s Nephew
Accused of Forgery
Special Cable to The American.
ROME, Dec. 27.—A new sensation
al element was injected into the mys
tery surrounding the disapeparance
of Cardinal Rampolla’s will when it
became known to-day that the sepa
ration of the Princess Altieri, the
wife of the late Cardinal’s nephew,
from her husband was a consequence
of certain allegations against him.
One of these was that he forged Car
dinal Rampolla’s signature to several
bills of exchange. The sequel of these
charges was that he was put in a
private lunatic asylum.
According to statements published
to-day, intimate friends of the Car
dinal confirm the report that he made
a later will than the one found and
bequeathed money to the Pope. This
will, it was said, was written in 1901.

In the early spring, accompanied by

may inspect the site and preparations
at San Francisco for the Panama Ex

The idea Is that a visit might prove

Russia to Have Own
Exposition in 1915
Invitation to San Francisco Fair
Treated Wiht Silent Contempt.
Definite Treaty Demanded,
Special Cable to The American.
ROME, Dec. 27.—The "Eternal
City" has caught the tango dance f«.
ver.
The craze was introduced into Italy
by the Duke D’Abruzzl and hie step,
mother, the Princess Laetitla, and la
now being popularized in Rome by
the Princess Giovannelli, who, a),
though not of royal blood, Is one ot
the leading social stars of the capi
tal.
The Princess maintains that the
new dance is destined even to break
into the salons of "The Black Aris
tocracy,” as the Vatican element ot
Roman society is known, as opposed
to the adherents of the Qulrinal—and
that the prelates, who are now con
sidering whether the tango is a moral
or an immoral dance, will soon be
come converts by attending one ot
the social functions at which it Is
danced.
Princess Defends Tango.
“Why,” said the Princess totheeor-
respondent of the Hearst newspa
pers, “in crossing the ocean and the
Alps the new dance has lost all its
wild and reckless characteristics.
"As in the days of old, when the
mild Italian climate, its enchanting;
scenery and the indisposition ema
nating from her works of art changed
and sweetened the somewhat hard
heart of the men from the north, so
Italy once more has accomplished a
miracle.
“It has changed the product of ths
primitive life on the Argentine prai
rie into a thing of grace and beauty,
vibrating with rhythm. Its move
ments can not offend even the most
innocent mind, or, better still, can
not give reasons for evil thinking to
Mrs. Grundy herself.
Doubts Church Ban.
“No, I don't think the tango will b«
banished by the church. It has come
to stay during this season, and will
be danced in every house.”
One dancing academy in the city
is now advertising no less than ten
Countesses, three Duchesses and five
Princesses as taking dancing lessons
in order to be ready to dance the
tango this winter. The advertisement
appears to be justified by the fact
that during this week the Marquis
Cavrianl. Marchioness Patrizi, Count
ess Marearino and Countess Muti
were among others who gave tango
teas.
Tango music by Paoll Tostl, the
well-known composer, is now being
advertised.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 27.—For
some time the only diplomatic busi

and the Russian Foreign Office has
been the tl*ansmission of the names
of the various countries officially ac
cepting the invitation to take part in
the San Francisco exposition. These
communications have been received
with freezing silence, which spoke
eloquently of the Russian Govern
ment’s intention.
If anything more were needed, it
was supplied in the official sanction,
given this week, to holding the Rus

This counter-move definitely pre
vents participation in any other that

Regarding the reported intention of
