 MOB SURROUNDS EMBASSY.
 Tuesday night the cable office was still under censor. Wednesday morn ing the cable office was taken over by the Mexican government. There were manifestations throughout the night, one of which was an attempt to pull down the statue of Washing American embassy where speeches were made but apparently of a pacific or patriotic nature.

General Huerta promised protection to all foreigners, particu- larIy Americans and the same evening sent his chief of staff, General Corona, to the embassy building. At the re- quest of MT.

bulk OF Peru's imports have come
from Germany and England the pres

THE CONTINUING INVASION OF
PRUSSIA.

There is no doubt that Prussia was
almost entirely responsible for the
Franco Prussian war and that her
part in the responsibility for the pres
ent conflict is very large and prob
ably will be considered prepOnderant
before the bar of history. The dis
proportionate representation in Ger
man imperial affairs enjoyed by Prus-
STA has been the main source of the
utter militaristic policy of Germany
for these last fifty years.
The world can scarcely help but
feel then. that the invasion of Prus-
STA even further, while France is be-
ing gradually evacuated, and the fact
that Prussian territory is almost sure
" 10 be the scene of the bitterest war
operations of this conflict, is but a
merited turn of the wheel of human
destinies The war of 1870 left the
Prussians quite untouched. The wars
with Austria and with Denmark had
been brief campaigns away from home
followed by a glorious triumph. War
waged thus in the enemy's country, in
spite Of the personal losses suffered,
does not seem the awful catastrophe
that it is.
1t is sincerely TO be hoped that the
bringing home of the dread horrors
Of war TO the Prussian "Junkers' may
mark the end of that militaristic Su-
perCillOusness which has meant so
much in laying for many years all
the burdens of heavy armament on
Europe and is now so largely &C
countable for the worst war of his
tory.-New York Herald.

GERMANY AT BAY.

The present situation in western
Europe presents a scene Of high dra-
matte quality. The German army is
standing at bay in a strongly in
trenched position on the river Aisne
The march to the rear has given the
German commander time to collect
the scattered and disorganized parts
of their armies and 10 present once
more a solid front to the allies.
The river Aisne is tributary of
the Disc 1t flows in an easterly di-
rection through a rugged and difficult
country. The position chosen is more
than half way from Paris to the Ger
man and Belgium borders and is said
TO be well selected for both defense
and further retreat. Here Germany
is making. perhaps not its last. but in
the nature OF things its most deter
mined stand
The only purpose OF the German
commanders can be TO break the force
of the allies pursuit and to make
more secure the movement toward
the German capital. Germany can
no longer hope 10 turn the tide Of
defeat which has set in against her
from the west The best she can hope
TO do is to prevent the invasion Of her
own territory. Outnumbered and
Outmaneuvered Germany can Go no
more than cover the retreat of her
army from French and Belgian terri
tory and protect her own. If she sue
ceeds in doing that she will do more
than some military critics concede.
Germany staked all on one play
and 10 all appearances she has lost
Her army was thrown like a catapult
against France BY its own weight
and momentum it carried nearly to
the goal only the increasing strength
of the allies and superior generalship
prevented the accomplishment OF the
German purpose. Fer magnificent
fghting machine exhausted itself
hammering against the impossible.
Now Germany stands at bay like a
wounded stag. q magnificent bat pa
