THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

Technically speaking, the United
States has not declared war on Mex
leo, altho President Huerta of that
republic, may construe it as he sees
fit. President Wilson has been grant
ed the permission of Congress to take
such measures as are necessary to
compel Huerta and his representatives
to show the proper respect for our
flag. After heaping insult after in
suit upon this nation, Huerta was Civ
en- until six o'clock Sunday to make
amends by saluting our flag. This he
obstinately refused to do. Our fleet
is now in Mexican waters and Mexi-
can ports will be blockaded, the Gus
toms offices taken charge of, and the
Mexican gun boats captured. The
United States has been doing it's best
to keep out of this mess, which has
been forced upon US. Huerta saw that
the rebels were closing in on him and
he no doubt would rather become a
prisoner of war of the United States
than to be dealt with by his own peo-
pie. The Huerta government is all in
financially and many of his supporters
are about to desert him. 1t is posi-
BILE that the sly old fellow figured that
if he could get the United States to
take some part in the conflict it might
have a tendency to unite the rebels
and the constitutionalists. President
Wilson has made it clear that this. is
not a war of conquest. We want no
Mexican property. We do not even
desire to fight the Mexican people. The
Mexican nation is weakened by in
ternal strife and all the United States
wishes at this time is to see that the
Mexican government is in capable
hands.
President Wilson has been very len
lent, most too lenient many have de-
clared, yet war is terrible thing, and
he should not be censured for exerting
every influence to keep away from it.
All governments will be notified that
a blockade is on and Mexico will be
cut off from the outside world. If the
rebels do not join with Huerta, the
northern part of Mexico will not be
disturbed. If, however, the rebels re-
sent our action, troops will be landed
in Mexico and both factions will be
given attention. The problem may be-
come a much harder one to solve than
anyone anticipates. It is not believed
that any trouble will arise from other
nations, as they are all anxious to see
peace restored in Mexico. .

WORTH WHILE.

Those who pirate about the neces
sity of segregated districts should pom
der on the recent report of the Illinois
Vigilance association. Since the clos
ing of Chicago's segregated district
there has been a reduction of $4,000 q
year in the number of cases of social
diseases in that city.
"There probably were more thar
$4,000 cases of social disease traceable
to vice in Chicago in $780," stated the
report. "Now, with the district fair.
ly we'll closed, there are perhaps 65,.
900 cases in year. This shows a re.
duction of $4,000 cases, due to pub.
licity, agitation and law enforcement
in the notorious districts"
The report was based on informa.
ton gathered from physicians.
