DAYS OF WORRY.

This is a time when the people and the
President should diligently seek for the
grace Of self control. This is a time
when neither in Mexico nor in the
United States should any patriotic man
seek 10 lash himself up To the fighting
mood As 10 the people ON both sides Of
the International boundary. they as a
rule. are net cultivating the graces that
make for peace. On the other hand they
seem To b. cherishing the spirit that
makes for war. Every day. here in the
United States. We hear things that tend
Ia lash " into warlike moods. To every
alleged fact Of wrong done Ia Americans
in Mexico, there is inevitably tackled
some fact If circumstance that tends
to aggravatc the wrong lsne-if in fact
il was done M all. Thousands Of these
alleged facts can never be- verified. yet
in a sew days We shall set them down rs
things established by infallible proofs.
aud We begin 10 refer To them with the
same assurance as If We should refer 10
the battle of Bunker's Hill or Brandy
wine. Truth To say the warlike nood
grows 10y what il feeds upon: and IL is
growing ON both sides If the border. and
a point has been reached when ID APP
pears that the Christian philanthropy
of the President aud Secretary Bryan
will not much longer enable them To
Withstand the drift toward war. Human
flesh and blood cav not long withstand
all the exasperaiiug elements in the
situation.
As the time set for mediation draws
near the more we begin To doubt whether
there will be any mediation. The more
il becomes plain that Huerta is no,
coming 10 grips with any issue with
which he is likely 10 be. confronted be-
fore the mediators. Ii il becoming clear.
that the only problem which remains for
us il TO let the old cat die" an easy
natural death in such fashion that we
can not he fairly accused of killing it,
Any man who reads the reports i'm the
daily papers. fhe one which are to some
degree credible and the ones which are
incredible on the face of them. may get
some time idea of the worries and exas-
pcrations now bcsetting the President
and the cabinet.

\ NOBLE SPEECH.


Here is a study in the art Of great
speaking. though "art" in speaking was
very far from the mind Of the speaker.
This is the art which ignores art--the
art of Abraham Lincoln al Gettysburg I.
q speech which is the joint product Of
= great cultivated brain aud a large
heart The speech of President Wilson
At the funeral of the mariues who died
at Vera Cruz. a speech which will hold
rank among great speeches by great
Americans. His voice was low and
fcrvent aud his face was grave.
""Mr. Secretary he said. Il know that
the feelings which characterize all who
be expressed in cloquence Or o%ratory.
For my OWN part, ! have a mixture of
feeling.
"'The feeling uppermost is one of pro
found grief, that these lads should have
Sone 10 their death. But vet ! felt n
profound pride and envy that they should
have been permitted to do their duty So
nobly.
Their duty is not IN uncommon thing.
Men arc performing il in the Ordinary
walks Of life. but what gives those men
peculiar distinction il that they did not
give their lives for themselves. hui gave
their lives for NJ. because We, as a M
ton. called upon them.
Are You sorry for the lads? Are yo,,
sorry fol- the way they will b. rcmcber-
ed? j hope TO God none Of YOU will join
the list. but if You will. Won will join
an immortal company. and while there
goes out Of DIR hearts an effwrtionahs
sympathy for them. We know WHY wa do

that all will he worked out.

The tonqurte dc TAir. a journal pub

apparently come into possession Of i'm

la the first place. two ideal advanced
acroplane bases are possessed on that
curving shore between the Danish and
Dutch frontiers. in the islands of Hell
4 goland and Sylt. These two islands are
about fifty-six miles apart. aud IN aerial
squadron could easily keep constant
guard between them. and thus prevent
any surprise raid on the land north OF
the mouth of the Elbc. Furthermore.
Heliroland is but some forty odd milcs
from Wilhemsha,cn and Cuxhayen. and
thus two other lines of defense cav be-
formed guarding against an attack from
the west. Roughly speaking. by these
means il will be- seen thai the who4e

With regard 10 the o%ffcnsc. il il point
ed out that Heligoland is but some three
hundred miles from Hull. Grunsby and
Yarmouth. and German ayiators are
thus capable Of operating. despite the
distance. with success against the Eng
