Of Pies. WILSON'S MEXICO POLICY
His Attitude Of Cold Superiority Is Assaied by the

Of compulsion, while announcing that
ne never will apply compulsion," says
This new method Of diplomacy OBJ
ViOuSly is not a hopeful one, and
whether president Wilson will be able

credit or safety it is impossible to say
What may be called his gen
tie obstinacy has Unanswered him into
position from which 1t IS not as
easy either TO advance or retire"

The Saturday Review says:
The presidents tone of cold superb

rivals to take a bold stand as cham

Is most anxious TO avoid"
In concluding. the editorial says:
a frontier incident and the thing is
done. There will be a raid. Somebody
viii tread on the stars and stripes and
all America viii be remembering the
Maine again"
~Not So Foolish.
The Telegraph, in its financial col

president Wilson's advice to Americans
to quit Mexico was not so foolish as
appeared at first sight.
TT is now seen" the Daily Telegraph
says, that the closing down Of Ameri-
can undertakings by the departure Of
their owners and managers would
gravely compromise president Huerta's
position In addition to the distress
and discomfort of the unemployed na-
tive workmen. president Huerta would
be given the added responsibility Of
protecting American property and any
failure in this respect might form a
pretext for intervention. Moreover
the distress arising from the with
draWal of American capital might pro-
woke anti-fOreign demonstrations in
which citizens of nations which have
recognized Huerta might suffer.

TWO CHARGED WITH
TAKING ARMY MONEY
Are Held in Juarez and "A Third Added,
Who, it is said, Had Managed to
Reach the Border Town.

Two Mexican soldiers, one formerly
a paymaster for Antonio ROjas and the
other occupant of a similar position
under Gen. Jose de la luz Blanco, who
were brought to Juarez on the refugee
train Friday afternoon under an escort
Of four armed guards, were turned over
to the civil authorities on charge Of
attempting to steal a bundle of money
which was being sent to Chihuahua on
the troop trains last week.
The military authorities declined to
divulge their names.
Some claim that the men took $780,
600 and others say that there was only
$1,000 in the bundle with which they
escaped when the trains were at La
guna, so miles north of Chihuahua City
last Monday. They escaped to the
hills, but, were pursued by a band Of
16 of Ynez Salazar's men, were cap
tured and returned to Laguna, where
they were held until the arrival of the
train coming north.
At Juarez a third man was arrested
near the station and taken to the Jail.
He, it is said, had been implicated in
the affair and had managed to make
his escape as far as the border town.
