MILL ANIERICA BE INVADED?

II the United States keeps free from
entangIements and passes through
Europe's present war period without
becoming involved it viii be exceed
ingly fortunate and in no sense may il
be attributed 20 luck. Nothing but
the wisest and most prudent states
manship viii save this country from
becoming embroiIed.
All OF the European powers are in
a fighting mood. The situation is
similar 10 that at a DonnybroOk fair
where every man who carries a shil-
lalah is at liberty 20 hit any head he
see except that in was between ma
tions there is such a thing as neutral
ity and any nation which is so unham-
pered that il may declare itself neu-
tral and has the ability 20 preserve a
neutral position may legitimately prac-
tice IT, The difficulty is to maintain
a neutrality that is satisfactory 10 all
parties concerned. The balance is so
delicately adjusted that the slightest
shock or jar disturbs IT,
There are many ways in which the
United States may fail 10 maintain the
neutrality declared and there will be
many opportunities. probably. for the
combatants on the other side TO pro-
test that this country is not dealing
fairly between them. 1t is not inn
possible. too. that one or more of the
combatants will make cause for COM
plant in order 10 gain sympathy or
accomplish a diplomatic end.
The United sta -es just now has a
delicate question % handle. Great
Britain and France have cable com
municatiOn with and other countries.
Germany has been isolated from ca
bic connection with the outside world.
for the reason that almost the first
act of war committed by the British
was the cutting Of the German cable.
Germany. however. had anticipated
this and in her preparations for this
momentous event or in pursuance Of
her progressive policies one OF the
most powerful wireless stations in the
world was installed at Berlin. This
station is so powerful that communi-
cation with the United States and like
distances in other directions is easy
The United states government is
sued an order placing the German
wireless under censorship and was
about to enforce il when the German
government filed a vigorous protest
against IT, The American government
gave indications that il might recede.
but was promptly met by a counter
protest from Great Britain who insists
that the Germans shall not have the
unCensored use of the wireless as il
would give them a great advantage.
The United States has no desire to
hinder or inJure either of these ma
tions OF any of the others engaged in
war. II wants 10 do the just and
equitable thing That is the difficult
ty. but We must trust 20 the men we
have placed in control of tine govern
ment ana stand 10y them whatever the
consequences may be

MEXICO's CHANCE.

Through decades OF nsurrection and
revolution in Mexico we have seen a
conquering army and the hero who
led il greeted 10y the cheers of the
people when il enered the city OF Mex
leo. In the United States such a
demonstration would signify that the
issues were settled and that peace
would follow with reunited people.
THAT however. is not the experience
Of Mexico. Time and again the peo-
pie have enthusiastically cheered "a
new government only 20 follow new
leader into revolution. In this in
stance il would seem that the burst
OF loyalty and patriotism might be
sincere. and perhaps all OF the pop
ulaF demonstrations of the past have
been sincere. but how soon may we
expect this volatile ard uuthinking
people 20 be led in some new disturb
ance.
There Is this about che present sit

WAR makes some queer alliances.
We remember the Indian allies Of
French and English in ante-revolu-
tionary days. That was an example
of the limit of extremes, but what
shall we say of Germans and Turks,
BritCns and Muscovites?
IN such alliances civilization is pros
tituted 10 greed and love Of power
and the progress of the world is
checked by the unnatural association.
NAPOLEON is quoted as having
said that the more he studied the
world the more he was convinced of
the inability Of force TO create any,

manently relieved Europe Of it's great

Statesmen Real
and Near.
BY Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON. - One might be
fairly safe in Offering a prediction at
this juncture that when Theodore Z.
Burton of Ohio retires from the United
States senate, on the fourth of next
March, his successor, whoever he may
be. will be less able and vastly less
scholarly man than Burton was.
Burton is one Of the real scholars
in public life. He knows all manner
of things to a certainty, If he want
ed to he could get up and make his
speeches in Greek and Latin. And on
almost any subject, whatever that is
deep and learned, Burton could talk
intelHgently. Yet he is not a man
to talk much about a thing until he
knows a good deal about II. There
are men in congress who can take
a scanty store of knowledge and
make il go a long way. / know sew
eral. anv one of whom could take a
book ne never saw before, glance
through it, and then talk SO know
ingly about il that he would almost
make you believe he wrote II. BUR-
ton. on the other hand, probably
wouldn't feel justified in mentioning
anything he saw in a book until he
had read the book through a second
time and then compared 1t with three
or four others works Of a similar na-
ture.
While a scholar, Burton knows a
great deal OF a practical sort. lie is
an authority on finance, and proDaoly
has greater knowledge OF matters
pertaining to river and harbor i'm
provements and waterways. both IN
this country and abroad, than any
men in or out of public life.
There are of course. other men here
and there are just as scholarly and STU
dious as Theodore Burton, but one
would have TO make thorough search
TO find one so essentially the scholar
and student by temperament. Iheo-
dore Burton never had any fun since
the day he was bOrn-unless he got
his fun out of some sort OF work. lie
has devoted his entire life just 10
working and studying things As a
voungster he never took part IN the
romping and play of his schoolmates.
When other boys were coastlng down
hill on their sleds. Burton would drop
around with a book under his arm an q
look on. but would not participate In
the sport. So far as any of his early
associates can recall. he never had a
sweetheart in those days, and never
has since Being a bachelor ne mas no
