THE DIE Is CAST

Developments have come rapidly in
the Mexican situation in the past three
days. The hope that a settlement
could be reached without bloodshed
has been dissipated. From the gulf
has come the crash of resounding
arms.
War is imminent, if not actually be-
gun.
The situation could not be more Sc
rious except following an actual dec
laration of war Diplomatic relations
are said TO be terminated. The next
step is the arbitrament of the sword.
The American government at least
realizes the serious consequences to
follow the Vera Cruz movement, which
is tantamOunt to Intervention. They
realize that once in operation war
with Mexico means the hurting of an
enormous military and naval force
against the enemy. the sacrifice of
many lives and the expenditure of mil
lions.
But the United states believes its
cause is just and has faith in the ap-
prOval of the leading forces Of civil
lizatiOn, and yet realizes that the
undertaking is fraught with danger
from a disposition which may exist TO
take advantage OF opportunity to Sc
cure advantages which have been de-
MED
The United States must be prepared
not only to subdue and eliminate
Huerta but TO deal successfully with
/ threatened combinations between fed
erals and rebels and TO meet all
corners from whatever source.
Congress is now behind the preSi-
dent The people have been behind
him from the FIRST. Ills hands Will be
upheld, and however great the sacri-
hce the task imposed upon the nation
Will be performed.

Quite naturally a conscientious ma
ton Ike the United Sta-es had its
moment OF doubt afte- the act. 1t
was the chill of the plunge. The full
realization OF the significance OF the
move cooled for am instant the popu
lar Indignation.
The moment OF hesitation gave Op-
pOrtunity for collected thought and
then the reaction set in. The face of
the nation was sobered and its pur-
pose intensified. The logical. consist
ent, prudent thing had been done,
and there must be no turning back.
Sorry? Yes, the American people
are sorry their Mexican neighbOrs
have forced this thing upon them, and
whatever punishment the Mexicans
may receive viii be inflicted more III
sorrov- than in anger. The American
people may pity the Mexican people.
but they do not hate them.
Rather the feeling is one of
friendly desire to lift the Mexicans
out of the condition in which they
have been held by misgovernment and
give them a chance 10 make good.
If the unhappy people across the
border are unable TO see this invasion
OF their territory they will not be the
first unenlightened race To find that
kindness is often necessarily cruel
and that a body polite AS well as a
body physical must at times submit
to heroic treatment to be relieved of
its maladies.
The ways of civilization are various
but not devious Some of them must

norance. superstition, oppression and

but none shuns the full sunlight Of
day. What the United States is en-
deavoring TO do in Mexico is e. part
of the great scheme by which the
harmony of nations and the brother
hood OF man are TO be established.
1t is a more holy and intelligent and
humane crusade than was ever con-
Quoted by knights of old, and unlike
the invasion of Cortez its purpose is
restoration of law and order and the
establishment of government Of Mex
leo by the people OF Mexico, not con-
quest.
False conceptions Of patriotism and
selfish ambition may add To the diff
culties of the task. We have already
witnessed the manifestation of Car
ranza's bigotry and jealousy. 1t
threatens a combination of forces to
defeat the friendly purpose of the
United States.
If the people of Mexico had been
more intelligent and better governed
the American government would not
not have been compelled 10 take this
step, and the same ignorance and re
preston will so work upon their pre-
JUDGE and racial hate that they will
be slow TO realize that the purging
their country is about to receive Will
lee good for the national health

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

No duty Of the moment transcends
that of giving 10 the president and
the congress of the United States the
most earnest support in the course of
action they may decide on toward
Mexico.
IL is a duty OF patriotic devotion,
but not less of cool Judgment duty
of uniting with common impulse TO
uphold the policy determined by the
government
More is involved in the present
course OF this country than feeting
punishment of Huerta. More is de

What the time needs is a definite
act of craftsmanship based upon the
determination 10 give 10 Mexico a

dertaken with an armed force OF the
first rank in order that IL may ac-
complish its object with the greatest

poses Of American interposition.

\ VALUABLE ASSET.

A farmer writing to The News
Times over the signature Of Tax
payer" protests against the building
e concrete roads in St Joseph county
and advocates the use of gravel.
Il understand" he writes. review
ers on the road between South Bend
and New Carlisle recommend concrete
road at q cost OF nearly 100000 for
about twelve miles. Too much money
for a poor county. whereas gravel ly-
ing alongside this road. we'll adapted
for road work. could be built for about
$4,000 or $1,000 per mile, and thereby
get more improved roads for the same
money Other states are adopting
gravel roads why not ST. Joe county?
DO not let the whim of auto owners
dictate such an expensive road. which
is hard on horses and has other bad
features"
Three vital objections to concrete
roads for st. Joseph county are stated
in this letter, the extraordinary ex-
pense, the unsuitableness of concrete
roads for horses. and the abundance Of
good material for roadmaking within
convenient reach. 1t may be stated as
a general proposition that no expense
is too great TO secure good roads. but
il is equally true that the most ex-
pensive road is not necessarily the
best for the uses to which it is to be
put.
II it had been demonstrated that
gravel or macadam roads cannot be
made satisfactory the proposition
would be different, but no such DEM
onstratiOn has been made. Gravel
has never had fair test in ST. Jo-
seph county. The gravel roads of the
county have never been properly con-
structed. With a good foundation, the
gravel properly distributed and bound
it should make durable as well as a
comparatively inexpensive road.
St. Joseph county possesses a wealth
of this superior road building mate
rial. The gravel found here is mostly
granite, the product of grinding and
disintegrating boulders brought down
from the north when the glacier which
plowed the ST. Joseph valley slowly
melted and deposited it's accumula-
tiOns. This wealth of material should
not be lost sight of when building our
roads 1t is a valuable asset we can
not afford to dispense with.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

no legitimate task or duty in Mexico.
The support accorded by congress
is in general a reflection of the sup
port of the constituencies, north,
south, east and west. There are no
two opinions as to the righteousness
of the cause and no fear Of grave pO-
litical consequences which may arise
from the conclusion of the work in
hand.
No one can see the end We may
hope, with some assurance. that the
bravado of the dictator will speedily
evaporate, and that his structure of
opposition will crumble at the first
display of force. But if the task as
sumes far greater magnitude it must
be carried through. Every American,
fro mthe most ardent advocate Of
world peace to the sincerest militar-
list, will unite in upholding the gov
eminent The United States first
among the nations of the world has
entered upon conflict for civilization
and humanity and honor, out of
which she will derive not one acre or
one dollar of material gain.-Cleve-
