WINDS OF MARCH.

w. d. Nesbit IN Chicago Post
Winds Of March. blow high, blow low;
Blow the Candence that YOU know
Puff your cheeks and shrink your sides,
Call up all your shrieking tides
OF the air, until the day
Scuds along a windy way
TIN the withered leaves that cling
Loosen hold and take to wing
Winds of March through mystic ways
Blow us back the summer days.
Come by east or come by west,
Swoop upon us; blow your best;
Smite as on the cheek and crow
Till against your strength we bow;
Catch us, hold us; shake us, too.
Till we know the might of you
Send the Crumpled, withered leaves
Dancing high above the caves
Winds of March, out of the haze
Blow us back the summer days
Come by south or come by north
As a trumpeter comes forth;
Send your trumpet call along
In thrilling, vibrant song
TN the hills Ilout back your call
And the forests echo all
The mild melody you make.
And the sturdy house walls shake
Winds of March, with rugged rhyme,
Blow us back the summer time.
Blow us tang of salt sea spume,
Blow us scent OF apple bloom,
Blow us all the April mirth
OF the smell of waking earth
Blow us every breath of spring
In the mad song that you fling
In our faces; and the Groom
OF the long, long August noon.
Winds OF March, down mystic ways
Blow us back the summer days

OMAHA, March 13.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: The worst Is never bad enough for the
yellows two limitations OF which we have
In Omaha. BY both these II has been as
serted that what sent the American mill
tary and naval forces to the border OF
Mexico was the pressure OF Wall street
which had property 10 protect In Mexico
Simple minded, unthinking people may ac-

the bidding OF private wealth. IL is toe
bad that an influence as great as Journal
ism can be prostituted to such base puT-
poses. Why invent a dishonorable reason
for sending our troops down there? Aren't
the real and very patent reasons cOnvfhc-
ing enough? What sort OF a government

Americans on ths Border.

The presence of American soldiers
on this side of the Mexican border
may be justified by the demands Of
neutrality obligations, but the pres
ence of Americans as soldiers in the
rebel army on the other side of this
border is not 80 easily justified
The report that a young American
is leading a band OF insurreetos, com
posed chiefly of other Americans, in
the vicinity OF Juarez must be a mat
ter of humiliation and disgust to the
people of this country who are taking
sane views of the Mexican revolution.
Nothing but the sheer spirit OF ad-
venture could inspire such a movement
by Americans. 1t is impossible to
think of such a thing as a sense of
duty or love Of liberty actuating them.
Their participation can be viewed only
with disconnected feelings as to the
consequences. Warned In advance not
20 precipitate themselves in a situa-
ton with which our government had
! nothing to do, those citizens of the
United States who yet follow the bent
for adventure and take up arms
against a friendly power will be in q
poor position 70 plead for our pro.

would this be it, with Mexico, a contig-
uous country, under martial law, it did not
send troops to the frontier? What would
these yellows say II it did not? Sup
pose the troops were not there and condi-
tions aruse--as likely at any moment
making their active presence necessary,
what would the yelows say and do then?
When all the facts are known 1t may ap-
pear that the United States, under the
terms of international law, could do its
duty in no other way than by sending
troops to the Texas border. It may have
been the only way in which 1t could meet
the requirements that govern the relations
between nations. JOHN II. MHENRY.

General Confidence appears to be in com
mand Of the railroad forces who hold the
key to the business situation. Despite re-
ported weakness, the adverse report of the
Interstate Commerce commission on the
freight rate increase does not appear to

Within a week one issue of twelve and a
half million three-year notes was disposed
