From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Never before in our military history
have we been called upon to give shell
ter and succor to $500 soldiers of a
foreign army, with 1,067 women and 300
children accompanying them; but this
is what we are now attempting to do In
Texas with the defeated characterization

that fought under Salvador Mercado
and his five generals.
Many Of those who hobbled along In
the dusty ranks for three
days to cross the dividing river into
the promised and of bread and coffee,
beans n meat, had been loud and
violent against the "gringo" and his
hated land. A Jealous unreasoning fear
had driven them to railing and invec-
tive against the country that o
throws open her doors and bids them
enter. 1t is q pathetic caravan, with
its wide-eyed. blinking infants In their

long ago husked corn or hacked at rub

Of the mines. With dogs n burros.
Mules n horses, the weary cavalcade
had to fight hunger n fever and the
torment of thirst after the bloody on
slaught of Ojinaga and nature not less
than man has been the remorseless

Huerta's tottering government, at
least, must learn by our ~altruistic re-
ception Of this nondescrlpt host what
the disinterested friendship of the

be impressive even amid 1.-THE thunder

pense at Chapultepec with the request

not inspired by any exaggerated ex-
p~ectation of what we shall get from
Mexico's depleted treasury. We are
feeding the starving horde OF Mexicans
becaus we have taken compassion on
their plight, and because they have no
other Samaritan upon whom to lean.
Whether we ike our task or not, 1t is
our duty to befriend these unfortunates
who IN their hour Of ease and plenty
pore false witness against us and har-
bored In their hearts q rancor that was

the American people are yet
sane and that you can't fool

They are sane and do not
propose to longer allow their

to drag in the dust the enemy

they had killed the republican

two years ago, the republican
party had not served out its
usefulness and that her princi-
