The Invasion" of Mexico.

While the action of Lieut.. Field in
conducting a company OF American
soldiers upon Mexican soil may have
been wholly unintentional, and while
it has not resulted. fortunately, in any
serious misunderstanding, the fact re-
mains that more care ought to have
been exercised in the matter.
The appearance of the soldiers, in
the excited state of Mexico at the pres
ent time, might easily have led to blood
shed. 1t is quite proper, therefore, for
the War Department to take official
cognizance of the error, if for no other
reason than to convince the Mexican
authorities that we hold our neutrality
obligations in highest respect
Apparently. minor matters frequently
assume serious phases. Behold, how
great a matter little fire kindleth," is
a quotation which it IS worth while to
bear in mind.

The Calvert Street Bridge.

Before the District appropriation bill
becomes a law it should contain a pro-
vision for a new bridge across Rock
Creek at Calvert street.
The dangerous condition of this
structure was some time ago sought
to be remedied by adding 70 the steel
trusses. The inadequacy of the work
to meet the situation being apparent,
the roadway of the bridge has now been
narrowed so as to contract the travel
into a space Immediately over the sub
structure. Even If this should render
the bridge more safe, it has its distinct
disadvantage in compelling the electric
cars and all other vehicles TO move
within the same narrow compass. Ac-
cidents are almost certain to occur,
while the impeding of traffic is in
evitable
Provision should be made at once
for a new bridge, inasmuch as expert
ence has shown that a lengthy period
always elapses between the granting
of an appropriation and the beginning of
a public work The District Commis-
sioners will fall short Of their duty if
they do not press upon Congress the
importance of Immediately authorizing
q new structure.
The Washington herald., 1912-02-17
Clean Bread.

The publicity which has been given
by The Washington Herald to the
movement in favor of wrapped bread
has been most instrumental in creating
a still wider sentiment in favor of this
reform. Every housekeeper in Wash
ington has responded to the suggestion
put forth by the leaders in influential
women's organizations that bread which
is handled when it leaves the oven, is
thrown into open wagons and is then
deposited upon doorsteps in the open
air, is not free from contamination.
In many cities the effort to secure
wrapped bread has been successful be-
cause it has appealed to the sense Of
cleanliness and is, moreover, a self
evident sanitary precaution. The quo
tation in The Washington Herald from
a journal devoted to the bakery busi-
ness. which asserted that bakers who
adopted wrappers promptly secured an
increase in trade, is testimony which
ought to convince the bakers in this
city that they have nothing to lose by
progressive methods. Experience has
shown that the cost of the IMPROVE
ment is slight, so that the question of
expense cannot be a vital factor in the
case.
If it is within the province of the
health authorities to enact regulations
which shall keep fruit and other arti-
cles from the dust and dirt, it would
seem as if it could also be made unlaw-
ful to carry bread in wagons and
through the streets without proper in
closure. The subject is certainly of
enough importance to the health of the
community to be given prompt consid-
Grafton by the District government.
The Washington herald., 1912-02-17
Gen. Ainsworth.

The suspension of Gen. Ainsworth,
under charges of conduct unbecoming
an officer of the army, and his volun-
tary retirement from active service is
a deplorable incident in official life.
Gen. Ainsworth was second in COM
mand pf the army, and has long pc
Rod ofservice the efficiency and loyalty
Of which has never been questioned un-
I'll the present time His position,
prominence, force of character, and
hitherto high standing in military circles
gives the episode national interest and
Importance.
The questions at issue between Gen.
Ainsworth and his superiors may be
made the subject of proper inquiry and
will be decided upon the facts. If this
high officer of the army has been guilty
Of conduct subversive of discipline and
good administration of the army, it is
meet that he should bear the penalty of
such action. If the charges are the
result of Outstanding feud and more or
less of a personal nature, it will prob
ably not be difficult for the accused
man to make defense which will vim
dicate his name and honor. In either
case justice will turn upon the testimony
presented to the proper tribunal
Gen. Ainsworth is a man of great
force, positive ideas, and outspoken
franbness. 1t would be strange if he
had not made enemies in a continuous
service of thirty-seven years. 1t would
be stranger still if a man of his mental
temperament did not occasionally clash
with authority. military tradition, and
the esprit de corps of the army. Such
q contingency would probably not de-
ter him from expressing his mind or
working for what he conceived to be
The best thing for the military estab-
lishment and the country The fact
that he has freely exercised the right
sf speech demonstrates that he is far
removed from the machine-like man
sometimes held up to view as the ideal
soldier.
Whatever happens to Gen. Ainsworth
,r to the army, the case will be watched
with keenest interest. in the belief that
the right will come to the surface, and
impartial justice result.

WRAPPED BREAD.
The Campaign for Cleanliness Ii
Heartily IndOrsed.

Heartily Endorsed.
Fron the Washington Evening Star
Members Of the wOmen's clubs of
Washington are seeking to have all
bread delivered to consumers IN the
District of Columbia wrapped to exclude
dirt and disease germs. This Is unde-
niably a move in the right direction. In
the present state Of sanitary science the
public Is well aware OF the danger aris-
ing from the exposure OF foods to dis
ease elements. It is well known that
dust carries bacilH and any food that
is taken into the stomach without cook
ing after exposure to the atmosphere for
a few hours is likely to the contami-
mated. With the most careful handling.
Il is certain that bread will be thus
exposed. The only assured way OF pre-
venting Infection is TO wrap II at the
bakery. so that every loaf is protected
The bakers naturally urge that this will
compel them TO Increase the price OF
their product. On the other hand. II Is
pointed out that since by the use OF
machines the work OF wrapping can be
done for s. a thousand, so that the cost
Of wrapping each loaf will be only one
fifth Of a cent, there would be no war
rant whatever for adding another cent
to the retail price, which would yield
the baker four-fifths OF cent additional
profit. Doubtless the bakers will be glad
to make such an arrangement. Those
who are pressing for this method OF
bread handling argue that the extra
fifth of n cent which the wrapping costs
would be more than compensated for by
the saving of the product, the wrapping
preventing II from drying and becoming
stale. Probably with good management
the adoption of the wrapper would work
out an increase in the bakery profits
even at the present price per loaf.

ports, half forgotten. will revive, new
ports will be established, and as the
worlds commerce steams by those is
lands they will catch the spirit of prog
ress and wake up to the possibilities of
modern life. 1t is likely that immigra-
ton and capital will flow into the West
Indies, and that the resources, of the
islands will be developed to point not
dreamed of now
1t is not conceivable that the Islands
to the east of the Caribbean Sea and the
Gulf of Mexico should Aremain long in
their sleepy, tropic inactivity, when once
the argosies Of the worlds commerce
are flying past their coasts, stopping a,
their ports, and exchanging cargoes as
they go by.
The Washington herald., 1912-02-17
District Appropriations.

From the House of Representatives,
where the District budget was reduced
to a point far below the actual necessi-
ties of the local government, the Dis
trict Commissioners now appeal to the
Senate, where, it is to be hoped. more
generous consideration will prevail.
The District estimates, prepared with
great care, came well within the an
ticipated revenues of the District when
they were submitted to Congress. Un-
der existing law, deficit cannot be ere
ated Ample provision was made for
a gradual extinction of the bonded and
floating Indebtedness, and the PROPOSE
tions which had in view the growth of
the city were neither extravagant nor
unwise. This being the case, it is diff
cult to understand policy which would
hamper local development by a decli-
nation to appropriate the full measure
of the District revenues.
However, in the future, as in the past,
the District people must look 10 the
Senate for the restoration of the items
which have been omitted by the House.
1t is gratifying to know that the Senate
subcommittee which has the matter in
charge has entered upon its work with
painstaking care and is investigating
in detail the items OF each estimate.
The earnest and able arguments which
the Commissioners will present ought
to convince the Senate that the action
of the House was in the nature of an
injustice to the citizens of the District.

woMANHooD IN CHINA.
First BandaEes Not the Only Bonds
ON Women of that Country.


Prof. L A. Res. in "Ths Changing Chines."
Foot bandages are not the only bonds
on the women of China. II, in passing
shensi shop. one looks for a moment at
a woman who Is not a grandmother. she
turns hastily and slips back into the
gloom Of the women's apartment. To en-
dure the glance of a man Is immodest.
Toward the close Of . sitting day the
village women come out OF their houses
and sit on a mat in front sewing and en-
joying the GOODNESS. II one OF them sees
a foreigner coming she scurries into the
house as a frightened quail ducks and
lodges into the stable.
A woman never thinks Of shaking
hands with a man. II a gentleman
wishes 10 give a lady a fan he does net
hand il to her lest their hands touch,
but places it beside her. This sort OF
thing was made so much Of that about
the time Of Aristotle local prude asked
Mencius. "If ones sister-in-lsw Is drown
ing ought she to be drawn out with the
hand to which the sage sensibly replied,
1t Is wolfish not TO draw out a drowning
sister-in-law'
Brothers and sisters are separated AZ
eight or ten years Of age, and thencs-
forth associate only under formal condi-
tions. One never see dubious
photograph of a Chinese woman, even
OF a Magdalene. Our illustrated corset
and underwear advertisements shock the
Chinese, and no lady missionary shows
them the photograph Of sister or
friend taken in decollete. What notions
of our modesty they gather from our
undraped statuary, paintings OF the nude,
theaterical posters and ballets may ba
imagined
Such restrictions might be looked upon
as the safeguards by which the women
Of China are kept as modest and as
chaste as any women in the world. But,
balancing their burdens against those OF
the men. IL Is clear that the laws govern
ing woman's hfe are not for the sake
Of society or the race 80 much as for the
male sex In its every chapter Chinese
culture Is man-made and betrays the
naive male viewpoint Although neces-
sary, woman Is inferior and must be
held under firm control. The saEes
stressed the danger OF letting women be-
come educated and 20 about freely. for
thus might woman gain the upper hand
and wreck society.
From the male viewpoint II il lifting
that woman be sacrinced 10 man. but
not that man be sacrificed to woman
This was why, some centuries ago. the
Chinese held that the widow ought to
whereas the notion that a widcwer ought
to do the same at his wife's funeral
never entered the Celestial mind

Europe Watching the Canal.

Recent dispatches announce that the
French government will send a CON-
mission to the Island of Guadeloupe OF
to Martinique to select a suitable port
of call for French ships that will pass
through the Panama Canal. 1t may be
assumed that this port will be made a
coaling station and a naval base. 1t is
also announced in England that during
the session of the British Parliament
the first lord of the admiralty will sub
NIT plan for naval base in the Car
lbbean Sea, near Panama.
These plans on the part of two Of
she great powers are snticipatory OF
the opening of the Panama Canal in
1915 England and France are not
waiting until the waterway is flushed,
but they are getting ready for the event
in advance. When the canal is opened,
France at Guadeloupe or Martinique
and the British government on one oi
