REACHING THE LIMIT.

The situation In Mexico grows worse
and worse. General" Villa, an ig-
nOranr peOn and bandit, has arisen
by sheer force and brutality to be
more powerful than his supposed
leader, Carranza, who stands IN
much fear Of him. They are at the
head OF the revOlutionlsts, who
control northern Mexico, sleze prop
erty OF all kinds that they want,
and keep the pOpulace in q state OF
terror. Villa is claimed to have
ransom from former wealthy land
owner, Louis Terrazas, as ransom
for his son, whom the general"
holds captive and now threatens to
send to the firing line if anOth-
er vast sum, more than the unfor-
tunate man now possesses, is not
paid at once. Villa, Carranza and
Huerta all defy, insult and scorn
the demands made upon them by
the government at Washington.
American citizens and those of 9TH
er nations for whose safety the
United States stands sponsor under
the Monroe doctrine, are killed or
imprisoned, and the demands made
by the president and his depart
ment of state are refused and flout-
ed. It is understood that U. S. Con
sui Letcher has carried to Villa in
structlOns from Mr.. Bryan that the
United States will consider it an un-
friendly act should he carry out his
threat TO send young Terrazas to be
shot down. Judging by his past
behavior Villa is not likely to con-
slider this very terrifying threat.
We don't want Intervention but the
administrators 'watchful waiting"
seems to have accomplished nothing
so far and it's diplomacy has
been Of very colorless quality. It
will take some stern measures to
bring these lawless desparadoes to
their senses.

ADOPT NOVEL CUSTOM
Senior Engineers at Varsity Growing
Facial DecOratiOns-SOme Fail
in Effort.

AS means of distinguishing them
selves form other members of the
fourth-year class the men of the SEN
ior class in the department of civil
engineering at the varsity about two
weeks ago adopted the custom of
wearing moustaches. The custom
pleasant to think of, has been found
more difficult to adopt than was i'm
agined and several of the engineers
have found that no amount of coaxing
will bring forth the coveted adorn-
ment.
Half a dozen members of the class
have, however, achieved considerable
success in their novel undertaking
and are sporting" real mans size
growths. 1t is understood that ability
to grow moustache may soon become
one of the requirements for gradua-
tion in the engineering department.
