The First Gun.

We are on Mexican soil. American
blood has been shed by Mexicans. and
Mexican blood by Americans. We have
set our hand to the plow. How long
shall the furrow be?
The President moved promptly. and
ustifiably. He knew what the general
public did not know-of the approach of
n ship bearing munitions of war for the
Huerta government-and his duty re-
quired that he halt the consignment. He
was Just in time.
In his further steps he will be guided
in Il measure by Information which the
public will get after he has acted on 1t.
The general hope will be that he make
no mistake either as to the sources or
value of what comes to him. His pa
triotic purposes are accepted. The pur-
poses of the country as manifested
through Congress and other agencies he
should accept. We are all in the same
boat now.
Time consumed by the Senate yester-
day was not wasted. The observations
Of both Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Root were
very much to the point. This is not a
duel between Woodrow Wilson and Vic
toriano Huerta. but contest which has
inactivity on our part. The single epi-
sode at Tampico, offensive as it was,
does not explain American feeling at
this time The desire that something be
done of character to end conditions in
Mexico has grown out of great numbers
of abhorrent acts by Mexicans against
Americans and American interests In
suIting the flag at Tampico was simply
putting the capstone on a tall tower
built of outrages.
But however the case is interpreted, the
fact that we have at last gone beyond
parley and complaint overshadows all
else What the country expects now is
d settlement of all grievances justly
lodged against Mexico. We are not ami
mated by a land-grabbing spirit. We
have no candidate for President of Mexi-
CO: We are playing the game of no fac
ton. Mexico's pathetic plight appeals to
American sympathies. But we cannot
suffer longer from armed divisions among
MeXicans, which have come, to wear an
intense anti-American aspect, and will
wear them more strongly than ever from
now on until order is restored and made
permanent.
The President does not want pro-
tracted struggle. No more do the Ameri-
can people. The problem relates to the
best means Of doing what is necessary
as quickly and effectively as possible.
our movements will be watched, our mo-
tises questioned, in foreign quarters un-
friendly to us. We are always under
suspicion there. But We must do our
duty as We ourselves see it, and take all
the consequences of an energy which We
think the circumstances call for The
country will support the President in all
he may do to carry out the national pur-
pose.

Our Wars Begin in April.
ON the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Iom tnS ! ubdueipnid Inquirer.
If Roman augurs were now on the job
they would find something ominous in
the fact that all our wars begin in the
month of April. The battle of Lexng-
ton. which opened the war of the revo-
luton, was fought April 10, 1915. The
first passage Of arms with Mexico where
In American blood was shed ON Amer
ican soil, according to President Polk,
was April y. 1916. Fort Sumter was
fired upon AHril II, 1851. and war was
declared with Spain April ~ 1888 And
yesterday was April ~. The only ap-
parent exception to this is the second
war with Great Britain. commonly
known as the war of 1877. War was
actually declared in June, but a state of
war had in reality existed tor years. The
embargo and non. Intercourse acts of
Congress were really war. The Chesa-
peake affair and the constant impress
ment of American seamen had all the
aspects of war. SO that this can hardly
be named as an exception.

Blockade, the Solution ?
m the Philadelphia Ledger.

Despite the initial chapter of tragedy
attendant upon the landing of the ma
rines at Vera Cruz, armed invasion Of
inland Mexico to punish a usurping gov
eminent IL not necessary. We can and
will maintain a blockade SO effective
that it will deprive that government of
all means of sustenapce. There will be
left to 1t nothing but slow starvation. Its
armies will rapidly be deprived Of ammu-
milton. It will have no method of re-
plenishing Its arsenals.

The First Shot.
n the New York Tribune.

The President undoubtedly acted within
his constitutional rights in ordering the
landing OF marines and sailors. and the
country was thus fully committed, even
without congressional sanction, to the at
tempt to secure by pressure of arms the
reparation which Mr.. Wilson had vainly
demanded from Huerta. 1t was prudent
and reasonable. SO long as merely pacific
pressure promised to produce results to
try to conf1ne this countrys role to ac-
tivities short of war" The events of
the next day or two may show whether
or not it will be possible to avoid open
and avowed hostilitles. The United
States has no desire to make war on the
Mexican republic as such.
Evening star., 1914-04-22

The idea that the President of the
nlted States may lack the support of
the american public in a military crisis
is another of the Misrepresentation of
which the Mexican people have been
victims.
Evening star., 1914-04-22

The Mexicans who have been sys-
tematically educated to regard people of
the United States as their natural
enemies are victims of cruel and self
ish policy.

of general support DR.. Davis has
given careful, conscientious attention

an excellent record as an official.
Every matter that has come up for
investigation since the beginning OF

oushly and in accordance with the
spirit of the law made and provided
in such cases. No trip is too long;
no task too arduous for Dr. Davis
