Santa Annals Pass.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.

Washington, October ~, 1916.
The New Orleans Tropic and the Unit
ed States Gazette are discussing the grave
and important question involved in the
free pass Of Santa Anna aud Almonte, the
present GeneraIissimo of the Mexican ar
my and The President Of the Mexican Re-
public, through the American blockade in
TO the port Of Vera cruz. And well may
those, and all other patriotic journals, dis,
cuss a matter Of such great import. and
expose, if possible, the true facts in the
case. The matter cannot be too serious
ly reflected upon by the whole American
people.
Santa Anna was an exile, residing at
Havana. He had been banished from his
country because he was tyrant, and had
tsmpled the constitution Of his country
under his feet. He had impoverished the
Mexican natiasar but so managed his ope-
rations as 10 make himself the master and
owner Of untold riches. His conduct tow
ards the Texas richly entitled him to a
halter, and which would have graced his
neck in 1886 but for the unaccountable

ating a national debt Of two or three hum

20 the war. On the whole, think their
policy will be TO aid the administration in

probably bring back the Wings into pow

While the Wings will not let SAINTS

was abou. to DO when Senator Davis in

they will doubtless vote whatever they
may deem necessary to prosecute, or pu
an end to, the war. This they will do
from patriotic motives, and not to create
alarge debt. IL this deb, is created, lei the
responsibility rest on those who brough

them the administration VI the Govern

indicates that Direct Taxation will be pro-
