Going after the man she loves. isn't

And II he forgets to come here asain.

Love him? OF course love him! But

THE ARGENTINE DREADNOUGHT.

1t is reported that several governments have
made offers to the Argentine Republic for the spen-
did American-built batteship Rvadavia which has
just made wonderful showing in her trial trips off
the coast of Maine There will be some differences
Of opinion whether the Rivadavia is the most power
full battleshp aAoat; of her admirers have in
sisted that il she made the contract speed require
ment she would be exactly that. She has shown on
her tunngup trips that she better the 225 knots
for which her contract called and without doubt she
will later considerably surpass the showing now re-
corded, as most big ships do when they are given
the more thorough tests of long service.
Argentina and Brazil have in recent years been
going in for huge battleships and suspicion has d.
rected the conclusion that when either of these coun-
tries orders naval monster it has an eye on the
other. The old rivalry between Argentina and Chile
has been moderated in recent time but between Ar
gentina and Brazil there persists competition for
primacy in South America that can hardly continue
without bringing clashes in future, as it has done in
the past. Neither nation has the wealth and finan-
cal solidty justify entrance into the race for naval
supremacy that heart-breaking race is being run
among the great powers today. There have been in
timations from time to time that the Rivadavia was
in fact being built with the purpose of selling it to
some other power; perhaps under an agreement that
some other should get it. But that does not seem
probable. Argentina has its own big part to play
in South America 1t needs showing Of power
precisely as European nations, Japan and the United
States need it.
Meanwhile it is matter of satisfaction to Ameri-
cans that the magnificent new vessel is not only Il
product of an American shpbuilding firm, but that
the American concern got the contract to build it in
competition with the rest Of the world.

A POsTOFFICE CENSUS.

The Postmaster General is going to have a COM
plete inventory of the property of his department.
Rather oddly it is explained, the department has not
in many years made such an investigation. There is
much need for it especially in era of modern ac
counting processes, when it is necessary to know
precisely the items of cost and operating expense
before economies can be effected. Nothing like a
proper balance sheet of the department is in existence
and yet hear endlessly about the deficit that is
alleged exist and that sometimes disappears for
few months only to be chased into its lair by some
bookkeeping sharp who insists that it hasn't been ex
terminated but merely hidden in new bookkeeping
process.
The Postmaster General will illumine one detail
about postal management if he will report just how
much real property is used by the department, and
what its rental value would be if rent had be paid
for it, 1t is quite senseess to talk about deficits and
their extinction when at so fundamental stage of
the bookkeeping this we learn that nobody knows
much of anything even about the property that the
department uses. Hundreds upon hundreds of mil
lions of dollars worth of lands and buildings used
wholly in part by the postofice. II is we'll worth
while to learn just how much of them is devoted to
postal service how much to courts Offices, and other
uses.

JINCOISM AS A POLITICAL ASSET.

Two years ago it was not uncommon to hear the
remark that nothing less than foreign war could
save the Taft Administration from defeat" That OBJ
seryation presented the conclusions of good deal
of study into the psychology of the communitys mind
The Administration that is carrying on foreign war
is able to the country to its support whether
the war is righteous or otherwise whether it is Sue
cessful or the reverse. A foreign war being CON-
cuded the nation may take account of its justifca-
ton and the of its conduct to the disadvantage
of the political party responsible for it. But SO long
as war is in progress the nation can be relied upon
almost without exception to back up its Government.
General Huerta has been placing reliance in this
well-known trait of the public mind, to bolster up his
regime in Mexico. He has been for long time
now feeling his way to determine just hJw defiant
of the United States he might safely show himself
Probably he does not want actually to force war
unless that extreme is necessary in order to prevent
disaster to his government Probably, too, he
w,uld even preciptate war rather than meekly see
his government fall to pieces or be overturned by
tire Constitutionalist party.
The question, then, is whether this reckless
jingoism can be suppressed without a conflict Huerta
has played fast and loose with the Washington Gov
eminent His message to the congress yesterday was
bold and batting. There was sneer at President
Wilson, in the observation that Mexicos difficulty is
rather with the Government than with the people
of the United States. Perhaps Huerta knows better
than that. Perhaps he knows even, that criticism of
the Wilson program in this, country is based chiefly
on the belief that if has not been vigorous enough.
President Wilson has been more patient with Huerta
than good many other people would have been in
like circumstances. He has discouraged and sup
pressed jingoism.
Huerta's message to the Mexican congress justi-
6es little hope for settlement of present troubles
so long Huerta is in power. Ii the Constitutional
lists could repeat the Madero coup and actually defeat
and drive out Huerta and take over the reins Of
government from him, there would be every reason
to expect that the new regime would grant honest
election and keep Huerta out of the government.
But as it is, the tone of Huertas communication
leaves little to hope An honest election is quite i'm
possible; peace in Mexico is impossible without
Huerta eliminated; and while it is improbable that
Huerta can sustain himself indefinitely yet present
signs that it will be long time before the Con-
sttutionalist party will be able to capture the City
Of Mexico and end the present regime by sheer force.

The Fall Tailored Suit


N remarked ..-.s
~ II consider the tailored suit
of the fall and winter the finest
achievement Of the American ladies'
tailor"
A survey Of the new models will
verify this statement and there certain
ly never was a season where beauty,
variety and distinctiveness were more
exquisitely combined than in the coming
seasons tailored gown.
or course there are extremes which
the -fashionables are ever ready
to adopt, but there are any number Of
conservative models for the large ma
jority Of women who have decided to
put the seal Of disapproval upon the
freakish costumes the designers are at
tempting to foist upon us.
The fall suit retains the straight effect
which means youthful lines. and the
skirts, which are still narrow at the
foot, show a slight drapery at the
sides, front or back. The slash is no
longer favored. and II seen at all is
only for convenience, ard Is in decid-
edly modified form.
The new coats are longer. those meas
uring from 36 to 3S inches in the back
being favored. -Cutaway effects are
prominent and in the more dressy types
the fronts are sharply cut away 70 dis
pIay the waistcoat. which is a feature
of the new suits.
These vests promise to be a part Of
every high-grade suit and they are eth
or stitched in or worn as a separate gar
ment, like that worn by men.
In fabrics the new tailored suits show
O wide assortment. For the simpler
,nodels the serges are still the leading
favorite. but the cheyiots. satines and
sfrictly tailored suits In checks and ma
teriais in mannish effects are seen. For
the dressy models broadcloth. peau de
so,,ris. wool charmeuse. velour de laine
and veiours in striped and diagonal ef-
fects are all prominent.
Among the fashionable colorings navy
biue still leads, and there Is a decided
trend toward black. Black and white

shades are Copenhagen blue. myrtle

MAIL BAG
from The Times, Reoders
What Mexico Needs.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
1t Is universally conceded fact that
.victoriano Huerta was directly respon-
sible for the betrayal and subsequent
murder Of the late President Madcro.
And the most logical conclusion which
can be reached after due considera-
ton Of this fact is that no reliable
terms Of peace can ever be obtained
from a leader who ha, broken in so
vile a manner the law Of his own coun-
try.
Mexico is at present in such a turbu-
lent condition that it viii practically
be impossible to hold a proper national
election there for many months to
come. a state of affairs which win ena-
BILE the evil hands Of Huerta to remain
Indefinitely at. the helm, unless the
powers that be in Christian lao1b
arouse themselves and openly espouss
the Just cause Of the Constitutionalists-

authorities the demand for bak-

years increased from 10 to 60 per cent.
There il also in this business need

All the lines In this trade have the
one great advantage that employment
Is steady the year around.
No special requirements are necessary
for the baking business. Any boy six-

The only way to learn the business Is
to enter a large establishment as an
apprentice and become familiar with all
Of II details. The number Of appren-
tees in union shops is restricted to one
for each seven employees. The period
of apprenticeship lasts several years. till
the beginner passes through the stages
of third, second. and finally first man.
There are other positions in the busl-

ANCIENT ROW TO
LIVE AGAIN

AAN WYNN Il

The sensational battle of June IL,
1912, when seven of the leading ORR
entail club women of Chinatown at
tackled Editor Ching Yau Hung in his
sanctum and compelled him to retract
statements alleged to have been made
in his newspaper, the Wah Hin 30,
will be reviewed in detail again next
Monday morning, when the case Is
called in Circuit Judge Robinson's
court.
Editor Ching Yam Hung filed an as
sault and battery complaint against
all seven women few days after that
celebrated affair in his office, ana
following a lengthy hearing in the
distric tcourt all the defendants were
fined, in amounts varying from IS to
$25, with costs attached. The case
was taken up in the higher court on
appeal by the women from Judge
Monsarrat's decision.
In articles in his newspaper, Editor
Ching Yau Hung. questioning the dis
POSITION of certain club funds, made
references to the feminine members
to which they took exception. On the
morning of June IL they called in a
tody at his office and demanded re-
traction. From this point forward
the stories of the incident vary wide
ly. The editor says they threw him
down and while one, Loo Tay Moo,
held him. the others jabbed him with
their umbrellas When he regained
his feet they continued the attack, he
says, and he displayed a mangled rag
in the lower court which he declared
was the remnant of a shirt they had
nearly torn from his back during the
struggle.

Iese custom, did not resist them, he
