Mexican Policy
BENTON EXPEDITION

By JOHN +. NEVIN.
san Correspondent of United Pre

Staff Correspondent Of United Press.
WASHINGTON, Mar 2.-That
President Wilson realized the enor-
nous cost in life and money which
armed Intervention in Mexico would
mean was made very plain today.
The chief executive emphatically ex-
planned to callers that he considered
the United States to big 10 have It's
hand forced for any selfish reason.
And the President declared in tones
whose finality left nothing TO the
imagination that the present policy
OF the United States would be con
tinued no matter what pressure from.
withlR or withOut-is brought TO bear
to force a change.
The President insisted TO his call
ers that most Of the people who are
in haste TO have things done IN Mex
leo fail TO realize that they will have
to contribute brothers. sons or sweet
hearts to secure immediate action
while that If they wait the same re-
suit will be attained without the un-
necessary sacrifice of human life.
The President does not consider the
Carranza developments quite as ser
ious as they would seem TO be on the
surface General Carranza. the Pres
ident believes. is anxious at the pres
ent time to stand squarely on the
letter of international procedure
whether the facts justify this action
or not The Consttutionalist leader.
the chief executive assumes, desires
at tho present time TO observe all
of the dignities of his position as
leader OF the revolutionary party, es
pecially in his dealings with foreign
governments.
The expedition to view Benton's
body at Chihuahua City has not been
abandoned II was held up by Gen
cral Villas order pending a reply
from Carranza as to whether IL
should be permitted. Villa, il is eX-
planned by the administration, is now
recognizing Carranza as the author
ity in all matters affecting the revo-
lutionary cause in Northern Mexico.
Carranza having assumed the posi-
tion that England itself should have
requested this investigation. the Brit
ish government declines to do so. The
United States. acting on England's
request is prepared TO complete the
Benton inquiry. Carranza has been
told this. The President is hopeful
that he will decide the expedition
may continue If he refuses. the
matter will not be pushed until such
time as the United States government
believes il propitious to do So
But England. with the approval of tho
United States. will refuse to hold COM
municaton with Carranza at the pres
ent time. 10 do so would be TO rccog-
inizc the heligerency of the Constitu-
tional-ts and in view of the fact that

crs it proper. villa has told american

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

As an organization the Boy Scout
movement is neither military in thought
form or spirit, although it does instill
in boys the military virtues, such as
honor, loyalty. obedience and patriotism.
The uniform, the patrol, the troop and
the drill, are not for military tactics;
they are for the unity, the harmony,
and the rhythm of spirit that boys learn
in scouting. 1t is in the wearing of
the uniform and doing of things together
as scouts, that they absorb the force
and truth of the scout law which states
"A scout is a friend of all, and brother
to every other scout. " The movement
stands for patriotism, the patriotism
that causes the boy to love his country,
and instead of boasting about it. serve
it by being a good citizen. Scouting
for Boys.
