Inspired by
Col. Roosevelt?

London, Nov 22.-Under the heading
"A Money Grubbers' War" the outlook,
today publishes bitter article on the
Mexican situation.
ACROSS the Atlantic the outlook
says, there is in busy preparation, if
certain forces can accomplish it, a crime
against civilization, against humanity.
At any moment we may hear of it's first
overt stages. with inevitably the ensuing
slaughter of tens of thousands of young
Americans and half armed peasants. the
devastation of humble towns and rude
countrysides, the sufferings of the help
less and the innocent and the outpourinS
of millions of money.
And all for what or for whom? Wars
have been Waged for military ambition,
but who is Napoleon of the United
States? There have been due to the CO.
lonial expansion, but half the states are
sparsely peopled; and they have been
fought for liberty-and what wars have
we seen lately sheltering under this
claim
But there is no pretence of this or of
any historic reasons here A war be-
tween the United States and Mexico if
it arises will be the first war waged
solely for private greed-the first money
grubbers war
IF the guides of American opinion,
among whom we refrain from mention
ing Dr. Wilson," the article says in con-
clusion, get their way in few weeks.
perhaps days, Jim Smith of Virginia will
be cutting the throat of Leon Ramirez
of Morales in the sacred name of the oil
trusts and the band of Wall Street
hyenas."
