ment Of the rebel leaders intentions.

cone of the most interesting. intricate
and Impressive problems in the world
let us hope, is advancing toward q
peaceful solution in Mexico. Restless
ness led to revolution, and revolution
Is moving, we trust. toward regenera-
ton. The material and mental activ--
ties and changes that peryade all parts
ana peoples or THIS land, mark new
epocn IN history. and the smoke of gun
powder must not blind our eyes and
the clash OF mems passions and ambi-
uons must not ceafen our ears 10 the
mighty movements Of events.
IAN eloquent appeal for help comes
70 us across the Rio Grande: and this
cry Tor aid Is made more powerful and
pathetic because il comes not through
formal action from the federalists or
.cOnSUturlonalistS.' but is born of suf-
lerlnE and sorrow. and Is borne by the
unselflSh love Of universal brother
mood Not armed intgrVen ton. but
merciful mediation and cordial counsel
must inspire both our attitude and ac-
lFl-y- Lnat the restoration of peace
ana prosperity and the promise Of a
stable government in Mexico. neCessi-
tate the aid OF her larger and stronger
sister Is recognized by some Of her
more intelligent leaders; and is the firm
conclIslon reached by our wisest
statesmen and philanthrOpists.
The initiative in this fraternaI
movement should come from those who

THAT we believe as DR.. Upper has
suggested it is preferable for the iui-

acute crisis has been reached. it is our
opinion that the United States gov
