The United States and Mexico.

The withdrawal Of the troops from
Vera Cruz unquestionably allays
sensitive feeling on the part of The
Mexican people and will probably aid
in the establishment OF conditions of
stability. Expressions of resentment
at the continued presence of this Amer
lean force on Mexican soil doubtless
FASTENED the day of departure. and the
action taken yesterday was in line
with the governments policy to avoid
unnecessary friction with Mexico. 1t is
doubtful whether any good purpose
would have been served by the re-
tention of this part Of our army and
navy at Vera Cruz. II the present eff

The Next Great Battle.

All official statements from Paris and
London indicate an expectation that
the Germans will be able to make a
more stubborn resistance to the allied
advance in their present position north
of the Aisne river than they offered
at the Marine. They have traversed the
more difficult ground between the two
rivers without the separation of their
armies and have succeeded in reform
ing their lines without gaps and with
the advantage of natural opportunities
for defense.
Conditions have been almost COM
pletely reversed in France during the
past fortnight. september opened with
the Germans in full advance on Paris,
GRADUALLY turning the allied armies
southeastward and threatening to en-
nelop the capital and to drive the
French and English left back upon the
strong German left, awaiting on the
Lorraine border for the moment to
strike in full force. 1t appeared as
though the allies. after conducting
truly mastery retreat for days until
they had drawn the Germans more
than 100 miles into France, were In
danger of being caught between the
Jaws of the great wise that were clos
ing upon them. Then suddenly the
situation changed, as in day. The
,;erman advance faltered. At Provins,
southeast OF Paris, the onward surge
of the invaders was checked. strong
British force moved swiftly around on
the German right flank and menaced
communications. The advancing lines

the German troops were deprived of

moreover, exhausted by their fierce
onset and through the weakening OF
tho food supply system. which was
unequal to the phenomenal advance.
Then began the German retreat. as

nearly two-thirds OF the distance be-
tween the point of farthest advance
and the co-Belgian border. Now
comes a German stand. The onrushing
allies are held In check. Just as the
Germans were checked at Provfns.
The question which Paris admits to
be by no means answered. by the events
of the past twelve days is whether the
allies can now force the German posi-
ton north of the Atsne and compel
resumption Of the backward move
ment toward the frontier. That the
Germans have lost seriously curing the
battle Of the Marine and the subsequent
retreat is certain, and probably IN the
actual pursuit of the rearward-moving
Germans the allies h3e not iose N
proportiou. But the reformation OF
the German line In the conditions that
prevailed demonstrated a remarkanle
4eneralship, and that quality may no"
be capable of withstanding the, onset
of the French and British. ST.,
drawn battle at the Aisne would
not be a positive victory for either
side. still, inasmuch as the Germans
have been retreating and have mace
stand to meet the victors of the battle
of the Marine, their holding of this new
line would be a success just as the
French holding at Provfns was Ger

Disarmament?
From the Chicago Herald.


Sooner or later this war must end.
Sooner or later the nations will seat
themselves at a council board to de-
eide how the peace OF Europe is to be-
secured-how future wars are to be
prevented.
Once the process seemed simple. The
representatives of the stronger ma
tions dictated their VIII to the weaker.
And this solution was embodied in
scraps of paper which were regarded
as great accomplishments. These
scraps of paper were treaties. They
were presumed to have the highest
moral and legal sanction conceivable.
A nations honor was supposed to be
pledged to their observance. The dip
lomats could conceive OF no more bind
ing form of obligation. But the rep
resentatives of the nations which rs
sue VIGOROUSLY from TINS war Will be
confronted by q different situation.
The old fetichism of treaties has van
ished in the light of plain facts.
Treaties bind as long as they are con-
venient. They vanish into thin air
when they are not.

The Caucus and the War Tax.

The President returned yesterday.
and the democrats of the House got
their cue as to the war tax. King eau
Gus ratified the White House sugges-
tons last night.
When the necessity for revenue to
AXE the place of reduced customs re-
eeipts was first recognized. the
thoughts of some prominent democrats
and as many republicans turned to
whisky. beer and tobacco. Chased as
luxuries, why should they not bear the
burden at time when the price of all
necessaries is high, and business out
of plumb and depressedo Those three
products, it was seen. could be assess
ed so as to secure the desired hundred
million dollars with ease.
But the friends of whisky and tobac-
60 proved too strong for the program,
and only beer remained. Then a cam
vass was made as to what other artf-
cles should stand with beer. and the
caucus has named them.
There will be debate. The House
should allow some consideration of the
matter. and the Senate will demand
consideration. Under the Senate rules,
amendments to whatever bill the
House may send over will be in order
and may be literally discussed. So
that before the matter is ended votes
may be forced on items which to some
politicians are embarrassing.
The proposition that no tax at all be
voted now is advanced from two Sides
From one side the point is made that
the war cannot be protracted. and that
our Treasury conditions will soon right
themselves. From the other side comes
the contention that by killing the riv-
ers and harbors bill and resorting to
other economies the situation may be
saved without a tax.
Something Is to be said against both
points. The ending of the war. whether
it come soon or late. will not immedi-
ately end the revenue embarrassments
for us that the war has produced. They
will continue for some time. and. we
shall have to provide for them.
AS for the large appropriations made
at this session, they cannot now be
reduced, and there are some items in
the rivers and harbors bill which do
not in the slightest bear the pork bar
rel faint. That the laugh is on the
democrats as respects the economy
issue is confessed by many democrats
themselves
But the deficit in the Treasury, which
is growing as the result of the war.
is no laughing matter, and must be
dealt with. Let us have a good meas
u-s, as non-sectional as may be. and
sufficient for the governments needs
while they continue.

Col. House of Texas.

In some current gossip about. Noi.
House OF Texas. man or aolhts'' 'tit0Q
a close and unselfsh friend OF the
President, he is credited with the pres
ence of Mr. Bryan in the 'caolnet. MI
BRYAN, it is said, was inclined tet de-
cline the Presidents offer OF the
premiership, but yielded his judgment
to Col Houses A pretty story, put
highly improbable.
From the day MIR. Wilson's election
was announced Mr.. Bryan's place was
indicated. He had nominated Mr.. VIII
son, and been a powerful factor in his
election. Moreover. much of what
passed as Organism had triumphed at
the polls. Why should not Mr.. Bryan
be called in to help inangurate the
new order? Mr.. Wilson would have
blundered had he turned to any other
man in the party. s..s 80" .ist- :. -=r
Was it necessary to press the. matter
upon Mr.. Bryan? Who believes it,.
His inclination probably jumped with
his duty. 1t was his duty to accept,
and why should he not desire SO i'm
portant a post? The presidency was
out Of the question for at least eight
years. If Mr.. Wilson lived. his re-
nomination was "a "certainty. What,
was Mr.. Bryan to promise himself,
either in the matter of entertainment
or influence. by remaining on the out
side. a mere observer Of events?
With as sure a Judgment as Mr.. Will
son had exhibited in making the offer,
Mr.. Bryan accepted, and has not, prob
ably regretted his action. He has had
more business to transact than he con-
templated, and been subjected to some
severe criticism, but that cannot have
greatly annoyed an old canpaigner. 1t
is all in the days work. i: :.
But what of Col House? May he
not be induced to take office? He has
not cared for such recognition. but
been satisfied with having voice in
affairs from the outsides Why if Mr..
Wilson is reelected should not this
competent and devoted friend of his
accept official work? Why not a seat
in the Senate?
Col House is called the Mark Hanna
of this administration"-a rather fe-
licitous description. Mr.. Hanna it will.
be recalled, did not desire office as a
reward for his services to Mr.. McKfn
ley, but in the end was persuaded to
enter the Senate in order to aid his
friend further. He made good record
there-developed. even, into clever
debater The Ohio business man proved
to be a most capable legislator, and
enjoyed his work.
May not this happen to Col. House?
May there not be as valuable legis-
lative stuff in the Texas business man
as was exhibited by the Ohio business
man? 1t may be decided that the
Mark Hanna of the Wilson admins
tration should go the full Hanna dis
tance-take office to help his friend and
chief further.

largest single country on earth. en-
bracing more than 100000 square
miles almost three times the area Of
the United States proper. The popu-
lation of Russia is 164.O00,O0O and her
natural resources are great, almost in
conceivable. The United States has
an area of something over 100000
square miles, population of 100000
600 and vast amount of. as yet, I'M
developed wealth. The greatness of
the United States overtowers that of
Russia today. but when the great en-
pire of the north becomes republican
in spirit and institutions, as some time
it must, it will be mighty power in
deed.-New York American.
