care whether his purpose is aceomp-
lished through Intervention now, or
recognition of the Huerta regime.
Either is out of the question.
President Wilson has taken the
wlsest course open to him at this
time. In his message to Congress he
makes it plain that intervention or
recognition of the Huerta admins
tration is out of the question. He
believes that If the American gov
eminent will maintain neutral
stand and If the Americans will flee
from the country, the problem
eventually will solve itself.
I'VE should earnestly urge all
Americans TO leave Mexica, KNOWN 3
that We shall vigilantly watch the
fortunes of those Americans who
cannot get away, and shall hold
those responsible for their suffering
and losses definitely responsible.

lWlLSON DIPLOMACY

There are only two excuses the
United States could possibly offer for
sending an armed force into Mexico
now TO intervene between the war
ring factions. The first Is advanced
by iingos, who want war at any cost,
and the second by those who have
private fortunes in Mexico to pro-
teet.
From the viewpoint OF the lingo
any excuse for war is good enough
and the American who is interested
in preserving his wealth does no.

UNION MEANS STRENGTH.

In 1910 a movement was start.
cd for the consolidation OF the local
commercial organizations. but for
some unaccountable reason the pro-
lect was forgotten. A similar
movement is on now and let us hope,
for the sake Of the many good
things that would result from a
successful elimination OF the propo-
siiion, that il will not again be for

booster you viii not permit it to be

The consolidation of the CONNER

This Is almost the unanimous opin.

the union has not been effected. We
cannot understand why the project
has not been put through long be-

why the business men continue To

out losing him to the family are
elements of q beautiful romance that
can only be glanced at here.
Don has large, brown, soulful eyes.
There is more in them than a light
of mere animal intelligence. They
make him seem to be rehecting-a
characteristic only of the tnirn;j that
reasons, man.
Tell me. Don, do you understand
what is said to your This was
spoken in German. The dog seemed
to be making an effort as If to spell
out the meaning of the words. They
proved to be little beyond his
capacity. His vocabulary Is too
limited. Eight words, after all, con-
stitute but a scant stock for con-
versation, Even the aboriginal
savages have a command of four
hundred words, as Is pointed out In
convulsingly funny speech by Loney
Haskell, the official introducer of
Don, at Proctor's.
Words are symbols for ideas. Don,
accordingly is richer mentally by
eight ideas than any other dog In
this world. No, not eight--only six!
for two OF the words are names and
consequently stand for individual
things. An idea represents whole
class and Is applicable to many In
dividuals.
Almost any animal of ordinary
sagacity understands names: but to
have an idea, an abstract notion. or
generalization, as it Is often called,
requires reason; For the other pro,
cess, the one which grsspS Individual
names, understanding alone--the
faculty which, in infinitely varying
Degrees we share with sll brute
creation---suffices.
Understanding is intuitive, that is,
it actually sees and hears the things
1t Is directed to. Reason is tiscur-
sive; that Is, it lis the power Of corn-
pairing together ideas and drawing
conclusions. Every oyster has I'M
derstanding. But probably no brute
animal ever possessed the faculty of
reasoning until the day when Don
demanded food by saying Hunger"
and "haben, faben.' Perhaps you
will see the difference between the
two faculties better If you consider
their ways of acting, and what their
opposites are.
What we perceive by the under
standing is. REALITY; what we ar
rive at by, reasoning is TRUTH
The opposite of reality Is ILLU-
SION the opposite of truth, ERROR.
Among men, he who lacks reason Is
a fool: he who Is deficient in UNDER
standing is an idiot.

Don would neither affirm nor deny,

Shot in Eye by Boy With
Air Rifle. Youth Brings
Suit for $4,000 Damages

Suit for $1,000 for the loss of his
right eye has been started by four
teen year-old Philip Baum, of 1888
Boyden street, against fifteen-year-
old Robert Castles, of 1856 Eighth ave.
nue..
Baum was employed at $3.50 a week
by a grocer next door to the Castles
home last winter. On January is,
when he was going to a shed in the
rear of the property, Robert pointed
an air rife at him, according to the
allegations in the complaint. Baum
was wary when he emerged from the
shed He looked around, but did not
see the Castles boy. He started for
the store, and, 1t is alleged, was then
shot from ambush. The bullet en-
tered his right eye, which had to be
removed.
The papers were served upon Rob
ert in the Burnet Street Public
School yesterday.
The action is instituted in the name
of the plaintiffs mother. Mrs. Emma
Baum. Her attorney is Joseph F.
Murphy.
