ONE of the reasons, and we apprehend
the best one, yet given for the mobiliza-
tion of the U. s. troops along the Mexican
border, is this one by the Punxsutawney
Spirit: The celebrity with which the
United States Army was made ready to
depart for the Mexican border is en-
couraging. The reason for the sudden
move in that direction may be found in
the fact that Germany, always jealous of
the United States, was contemplating
similar action, which would have torn
the Monroe Doctrine to shreads and
caused no end of complications. A
message was given to the newspapers by
the German foreign Office in Berlin, to the
effect that if German interests were men,
aced in Mexico, Germany would take
action without the least delay. 1t was
that message that caused the United
States to get busy. The Monroe Doctrine
obliges us to act as policemen for the pro-
lection of every country that may have
interests on the American continent"
