deal of suspicion of the big neighbor
on the north. Europe has financed
the little nations, and the little ma
tons have looked to Europe for their

guage have tended to interfere with
the freedom of intercourse between
the north and the south. Many other
conditions have made for closer rela-
tions with Europe than with the Uni

has her hands full. She has become
negligent of the interests of her South
American customers, and in some cas-
es her nations have made convent

MEXICAN DEMOCRACY AND

Christian Science Monitor: Polem-
les from the pulpit and petitions of
the laity that might seem to compli-
cate relations between the United
States and Mexico on the issue of

a misconception as to what are the
real facts in Mexico and also on mis-
reading of what the duty of the Uni
ted States would be in case the alleged
Facts were real. The United States

nificant. Mexican history has earlier
chapters than the one now being
written of contests between republic
canisin and clericalism. They are
matters of record and have both
JuareX and Diaz as their champions
of revolt against political and eco
nomic privilege with reference to the
church. Evidently the time has come
for disclosures as to more recent
clashings between friends of the Mex
lean masses and such ecclcsiastics as
have no sympathy with democracy or
liberty. A notable document Of this
kind is the official statement just
lists by Senor Capmany. their repre-
sentative in Washington. 1t sets forth
the completely Of archbishops and
bishops with the Huerta regime, and
it shows the liberty-loving elements
OF the nation as diiferentiating be-
tween the native clergy in the lower
ranks, described as sympathizing with
the popular aspirations and as confin-
ing their activities to religious func-
tons. and the foreign born clergy
held to be aristocratic in their convic-
tons. am mbitious to rule the state, and
determined to regain special privi-
leges.
The wider the circulation of infor-
nation on this head throughout the
United States the more quickly will
pass the desire of any element of the
population to dictate to Washington
a policy toward Mexico that will seem
to put the United States in position

WITH A DIFFERENCE

There is q distinction. perhaps with
difference, between the shipment Of
arms and ammunition to q belliger.
ent and the building and eouiprin
of warship for the same belliger.
ent. Recently. in commenting on the
fact that Ches II. Schwab had been
invited to confer with the war de-
partment with reference to the huild
ing of submarines for foreign gov
ernments, The Herald said that i,
could see no difference between such
commerce and the sale and delivery
of anything else that might be used for
warllke purposes. 1t appears, hew-
ever. that even i there is no differ
ence In principle. there is Il differ
ence in law. Tie neutrality laws Of
the United States specify with some
minnteness the things that may not
be done by Americans by supplying
munitions, and 50 forth. to nations
at war. 1t appears that while the
sale of horses. cannon. shells, clothing
and number Of other things for the
use of troops IS permissible under
the law, the building and equipment
OF war vessels il. American yards for
the use of helliserents is prohibited.
The conference between Mr..

THE BIBLE AND WAR.

from biblical history in which the

we're measures We're taken in dealing
with those with whom the Israelites
were at war. On this basis the writer
attempts to justify the German in
vasion of Belgium.
This is going pretty far back for
justification. 1t is to be hoped that
the things which were done some four
thousand Years ago will not generally
be accepted as precedents to be fol-
lowed now. 1t is true that appeal is
made TO The bible for justification of

DRAWING CLosER TOGETHER.

Because of many situations arising

appealing to the United States for aid

suits OF this conference is likely to be

BANDITS alAsl,rAIx ORDER.

Dispatches from the City of Mex.
leo say that order is being maintain.
ed under the direction of Villa cad

tions have been made with reference
to lootinE and Disorder in general
The inhabitants OF the city welcomed
the constitutionalist leaders, for con-
ditions in the city were becoming
threatening shortly before their ar.

two men who, but q short time ago
were classed as bandits, and under
whose direction many acts of robbery
and other violence have undoubtedly
been committed.
In order to appreciate In any meas
ure the conditions in Mexico, it is
necessary to forget a good deal about
Twentieth century civilization, and to
imagine Mexico as a country existing
under the conditions Of six or eight
centuries ago. OF course. the cases
are not parallel, for along with its
middle-aEe customs aud ideals, Mex
leo has much that belongs to the
present time. But the social and
economic conditions of the country
are largely medieval In the period to
which Mexico belonGs, men like villa
and Zapata were not at all uncom-
mon. Their existence and their &C.
uvities were regarded as normal and
usual. The leader who could impress
his leadership on handful of fol-
lowers was always coming forward
and making trouble for the leaders
who were actually in authority. If
necessary he lived off the country. He
practiced the arts of q bandit, and
was not considered an unworthy man
for doing SO. He followed the custom
of the country. and was as good as
his neighbors.
Most of our civilization has passed
the stage where man may gather a
few followers together. take to the
mountains and maintain himself by
leyying tribute on those who live in
the valleys. This course is no longer
regarded as proper. We call the men
who follow it criminals, and when we
catch them we put them in Jail or
perhaps hang them. But Mexico IS
not to be judged by our standards,
nor can we apply to such men as
Villa and Zapata the rules by which
