diplomatic means, protection for American life and property in that country. Lying behind it is condi- tion of affairs in Mexico which makes that country incapable of performing its international obligations.
 The insult to the flag is but a part the continuation, if you please--of a long series of violations of Ameri- can rights, a long series of violations of those rights which it is the duty of our country to protect--violations not, for the most part, of government, but government, because through that country range bands of freebooters and chieftains like the captains of free companies, without control or responsibility. Lying back of this in- cident is a condition of things in Mex ieo which absolutely prevents the pro tection of American life and property except through respect for the Amer ican flag, the American uniform, the American government
 It Is that which gives significance to the demand that public respect shall be paid to the flag of the United States. There is our justification It is justification lying not in Vic bue in the universal condition of which we are asked to approve is not the qualification of personal pride; 1t is not the satisfaction of an admiral .or government. It is the preserva- ton of the power of the United States to protect it's citizens under those conditions.
 If We omit from the resolution that shall be passed tonight an reference to the matters that are enumerated in the substitute. we omit the real ob- jeat which forms the only justification
 for action Without that. sir, upon the showing of the resolution report ed by the committee we would be that are enumerated in the substitute the action of the United States will rest with becoming sense of propor- tion and national dignity upon ade. quate foundation and cause.
 The oonclusion of the substitute resontlon, sir, is the same as that of the other. It justifies the presi- dent in the same course of conduct
 which the committee resolution jus tifies, but it gives grounds. It gives substantial grounds. It gives grounds creditable to the United States and
 adequate for the proposed action, i1-

tween the hundred million people of the United States and this poor har- ried, and distressed people, it seems to me that the occasion is painfully inadequate to the results that are to follow
 Is that al? We learn tonight that Vera Cruz has fallen, that four Ameri- can marines lie dead in that city, and that q lie suffering from wounds. Is there nothing but this dispute about the number of guns and the form of ceremony of a salute to justify the sacrifice of those American lives? o Mir. President, deeply ana sincerely as the president of the United States desires to limit the scope of his ac- tion, deeply and sincerely as he de- sires the maintenance of peace, all history and human experience teach us that once lighted the fires of war can not be quenched at will.
 It is intervention, technically, but it is war in it's essence that we are to vote to justify tonight. How long it will continue, what it's results and it's incidents will be, no mal can state. Men will die, men dear to us will die, because of the action that
 we are to approve tonight. Ameri- can homes will be desolate; Ameri- can women will mourn; American children will go through life father
 ess, because of the action that we are to approve tonight; and when i those children, grown to manhood, turn back the page to learn in what cause their fathers died, are they to | find that it was about quarrel as to the number of guns and the form
 of ceremony of a salute and nothing else?
 We are to justify. What is the jus
 tification? Is there none but that? We, the representatives of the great peaee-loving nation; we, the represel
 tatives of the great democracy that
 brides itself upon demonstrating to
 the world that democracy can be peaceful and just; we are bo justify
 these acts of war; and is there nc Justification that We can lay before our countrymen, before the world, be Ifore the community of nations, before

been al. we would not be discussing the subject here tonight. Back of the incident, back of the special cir cumstalce which forms the whole of the resolution reported by tine commit tee, there is a great array of facts, long, dreadful history. MT. Presi- dent, if there were nothing else but the incident referred to iii the reso- lutiOn, would the American govern ment have thought for a moment of treating this poor, weak country in this peremptory way? Such things have happened hundreds of times be- fore Ignorant subalterns have many and many a time transgressed the limits of propriety. mistaken their duty and their powers. and have done acts which were insults to great gov ernments. It has often occurred in the history of the United States. What have we done; what would we do today if a subordinate officer in a many or Italy were to mistake his duty, make an arrest of American sailors, as American sailors have been arrested before, and the act were disavowed by the government he served and an apology were made, and regret was expressed, and an in tention to punish him was expressed what would we do about the form and method of further amends? Sir, in the first pace, we would settle the facts
 ! We are now engaged in signing a series of treaties designed to take in ali the world. and already very iarge number of nations of the world nave signed, under which we agree with them that if there be any dis pute about any question of fact a commission shall investigate and re port, and no action shall be taken fol enc year, to allow the report to be made.

If there were nothing
 else-if this were all-should not that
 question of fact be determined b, peaceful means?
 The question of the proper, appro priate. and customary form and meth

be punished. The commandant at Tampico apologized for the act and, promptly upon being advised of the circumstance, the head of the de facto government, General Huerta, also apologized. Those amends, which would be all that cou'd be expected from private individuals, were, never theless, not satisfactory and not suf- ficient for the officer in command of the American fleet or squadron at Tampico, and he demanded formal salute to the American fac
 MT. President, I agree with the ad- miral that the amends were not suf- ficent as coming from the de facto government and that there should have been a salute to the American flag, but it appears that there was an interposition by our government; there were communications between our state department and our charge in the City of Mexico, negotiations and conversations, as to the character of the further amends that should be made. The matter came plainly to be a discussion between the govern ment of the United States and the de facto government of Mexico. Not about the quality of the act that was done; there is no dispute about that. Not about the obligation to make amends that was done. Not about { .l.1 1ffgtt s..,, gies were made. But about the form of further amends, how salute should | be fired, what were the proper and
 customary obligatory incidents in the way of returning such salute, and a
 number of guns which should be fired. | It is upon that duspute-upon a dis pute between these two governments about the number of guns that are tc
 be fired and about what the proper custom is as to returning the salute when it is fired--it is upon that dis lpute that this justification is made
 to rest in the resolution passed by the other house and in the resolution re
 ported by the committee on foreig- relations of the senate.
 MT. President, feel bound to say that while I would never for a mo ment fail to so far as in me lay il

OTHER SIDE OF
 MEXICAN WAR ISSUE
SPEECH OF ELIHU ROOT, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE, DEFlN-
 ING WAR SITUATION.
Many Believe That the Speech Win Go Into Future Histry as One of the Most Famous Ever Delivered in the Senate.

Here. where for the greater part we hear only that side of the Mexican war situation which as impatient with the national administration for not hurrying along to war, and where Senator Elihu Root, former visitor to this city, is fairly well kaown and greatly admired it may be interest ing to repubis ia almost complete form that other side of the Mexican situation, as shown in a speech 1e delivered on the senate some time ago, and which is now being reviewed and discussed by the editors and the statesmen of the country, and wheth- CT differing or not in tenor, is recog- nized as classic:
 Tn the address of the president, in the plain implications and exclusive inferences of the resolution which came from the house, and equally in the resolution reported by the com mittee, the justification is to be found in a single incident. That in cident was this: A boatload of sal ors in the uniform of the United States, upon boat flying the flag ol the United States, landed the other day at d wharf in Tampico and were arrested by an officer in charge of guard. taken through the streets presently returned to the boat ant set freea very gross offense to tho dignity of the United States, an in suit which can not be ignored.
 But, sir, immediate amends wer' made. The action of the officer wh' made the arrest was disavowed by tn government nnder which he served the de facto government of Mexico under the de facto presidency of Gen eral Huerta. It is stated that the oi ficer was in turn arrested and was t

THE MOTHERS OF MEN
The braVest battle that ever was
fought!
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will
find it not
IT'S fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen!
Nay, not with eloquent words or
thought
From mouths of wonderful men,
But deep in the walled-up woman's
heart
Of woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently, bore her part
Lo, there is that battlefield!
No marshaling troop, no bivouac
song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But oh! their battles, they last
From babyhood to the grace.
Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and on in endless wars,
Then, silent, unseen, goes down.
Oh, ye with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise!
II tell you the kingliest victories
fought
Were fought in those silent ways,
Oh, spotless woman in a world Of
shame;
With splendid and silent scorn
Go back to God as white as you
came
The kingliest warrior born!

Georgia Fruit Exchange
Expect Bumper Peach Crop

According to Manager Henry D. Marks
of the Georgia Fruit exchange, there is
every indication that the 1914 peach
crop will be one of the largest in the
history of the state. But all winter
long the Georgia Fruit exchange has
kept in close touch with the orchard
conditions over the state, and is now
making every preparation looking to-
ward handling this bumper crop with

Manager Marks is now arranging,
and will soon publish, the result of the
card index system he is preparing,
which will give not only the acreage
planted in peaches which will produce
this year, but will indicate if an old
orchard has been dug up, or new one
planted; if an orchard has been ade-
quately fortified or given anything il
the way of plant food; if it was spray
ed during the proper season or neg

orchard, with the possible output.
