We are glad that we live in a coun-
try where the truth is not suppressed
by the government. In the nine ma
tons now at war, the newspapers dare
not tell the truth regarding the con-
flict. Such news only as will give the
people Of those countries courage are
allowed to be printed by the censors.
Even in Canada, papers from the
United States that print the news as
they learn them, are barred from the
|newsstands and the mails and ordered
destroyed.

The foreign powers now engaged
in war may call upon the United States
to mediate, but there is no immediate
prospect Of their doing so. They want
to shed more blood and destroy more
property before they stack arms. It
is to be hoped that this will be the last
war in the history Of the civilized
world.

SENSATION N WAR
Of THE AIR EXPECTED
FROMD DARING PEC0uD

Adolphe Pegoud, the French aviator
who became famous by his looping the
loop, flying upside down, sideways and
doing other marvellous aerial stunts, is
now flying as an officer Of the French
army aviation corps. It was reported
that he flew 100 miles into German ter
ritory and returned without being hit
by the many German guns that tried
to bring him down. Before the war is
over something highly sensational is
expected from this daring bird man.

Not Pay Visit
toNewOrleans
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan 6---PTeSi-
cent Wilson has definitely abandoned
lis plan TO make an informal visit TO
New Orleans before his vacation in
the south is ended. IN spite Of the
fact that every effort has been made
o sift out everything but matters Of
the most urgent imE oTtance from 9he
presidents mail, the deluge Of letters
has daily Increased here and today Mr.
Wilson found himself compelled to at
tend to many OF them.
The president is working on a mum
ber Of important matters here ana
has found it necessary to CarefuIl&
make use OF the remainder Of his time
before returning TO Washington.
y hether or not Mr.. Wilson has
sketched his message dealing with the
trusts and big business is not known
and the president has not mentioned
it
1t now IS planned for the presl-
Dental PARTY to leave here late Sun
day night, returning 10 the capital
next Tuesday morning. AS there is
a diplomatic dinner at the White House
Tuesday night, there is no chance
that the presidents vacation will be
prolonged beyond Sunday.
It was colder today than usual and
the president apparently enjoyed his
golf game. He climbed up and down
the bunkers with q sprighuy visor
that proved him to be in better health
than he mas enjoyed for months.

Foreigners Now Living in Mexico

At Pass Christian, Miss. it VS. pointed
ol1t today that Mr O'Shaushnessy has

II is believed in well informed cir
cles here that the embassy in Mexico
City will not Re closed. Despite the
handicap under which Charge
O'Shaughnessy has been workins, he
has q accomplished much in behalf Of
American and other foreign interests
in Mexico. One opinion expressed to
day was that the United States might
not be in a position to continue It's
lea adership among the foreisn element
so well if it should close the en- assT.
