WHAT MEXICAN WAR
LOOKS LIKE TO MEXICO
Omitted Press Day service)

Mexico City, Feb, 27.-The Mexicans
in the capital took President Wilson:
act OF raising the embargo in then
characteristic way. That is, they did
not do what they were expected to do,
While the news came as bombshell
to the government officials, the publi1
seemed to be in no way excited by the
fact that Washington had, in man
ner of speaking, decided to give as
sistance to Carranza and the rebels
and all the war munitions they could
use.
Trust the MexicanS to do the ex-
pected thing" say American old
timers here. And, in this instance,
the Mexicans followed the rule. Amer
leans really expected them to do some
thing; to riot or insult Americans on
the streets. On the evening of the
day that the news reached the capital,
the American club was deserted;
Americans were sticking to their
homes. But the evening passed with
out event and the next day, though
the newspapers, under big headlines,
scored the Americans and President
Wilson, Americans who ventured on
the streets, saw no indication of i'll
feeling.
Then the word went around among
the Americans in the colony that the
Mexican people in the capital were
mostly in favor of Carranza and that,
instead of blaming the Americans for
aiding the rebels, they were delighted
with President Wilson's assistance.
Within few days it became appar
ent to Americans that this was true;
the average Mexican man on the street
or in the store showed no resentment
but only pleasure-that is he showed
his pleasure, secretly, to the Ameri-
can friends he could trust-in Amer
icas action.

Suffrage Notes

To show the amount of cores

it is worth while noting that more
than 5000 has been paid for stamps
during the month of July.
At more than nine county fairs
held during July in North Dakota the
yellow "votes for Women badges
made suffrage workers conspicuous.
It is estimated that 10000 voters
viewed with interest the unique Suf-
frage Float which accompanied Ring
ling Bros. Circus in Fargo, July 29th.
Those who attended the numerous
farmers picnics and old settlers gath
erings in this state the past month
we're regaled with spicy talks by the

it as a matter of fact. Had Burgoyne
had an adequate force, as he would
have had had the scheme Of the cam
paign been carried out, he might new.
er have surrendered to the Ameri-
cans. And his defeat coming at this
time put heart In an American army
which otherwise might have been des-
trOyed.
There are events In u own civil
war which have impressed upon me
the idea that Providence is watching
over this country. i talked of them,
not SO many years ago, with General
Sickles, sitting with him on this very
piazza. 1t seemed as though some
higher power inspired Farragut to
pass the forts at New Orleans under
fire, although none believed that he
could do SO. The result was the dea
truction of a confederate fleet, the
capture of New Orleans and the hold
ing of the Mississippi.
Sees the Hand Of God.
There Is an event which as a young
officer in the navy at the time deeply
impressed me. The outcome Of it
seemed to me then an act of divine
providence-as the ruling of a higher
power. The Confederate vessel, the
Merrimac, was spreading havoc
among the fleet of the North. She
had destroyed several vessels and
was coming back to finish the rest
when there appeared a strange vessel
of a type never seen before upon the
seattle Yankee cheesebox on a
plank. She was not even then the
property of the United States.
"She was a strange, nondescript
craft, yet she compelled the Merri-
mac to withdraw. The Monitor that
day brought a new r Of naval archi-
testure. Her guns were in a turret
which turned on a spindle. Here wal
this strange craft, built with private
capital, which had come, as ii from
nowhere, and accomplished this won
der. She was a surprise to the navy.
AS an officer in the navy at that time
| had never heard of her. It would
seem as though the hand of God were
in her coming there.
"And what a change she made.
What a debt the modern navies Of
the world W to her designer. The
great war ships of the world have
their great guns In turrets which turn.
The battles of the sea are fought by
vessels developed on principles which
the Monitor made known to naval
warfare. Had the Merrimac been sue
cessful at that time, it is generally be-
lieved, the C%onfederacy would have
been recognized by the Powers Of
Europe. Her defeat changed the
trend of events.
Silent on Battle Of Manila.
Admiral Dewey declined to discuss
the battle Of Manila bay, where the
fleet of Spain was destroyed without
the loss of a single American life. In
the event of any naval engagement
being fought off the American coasts,
Admiral Dewey said that the interna-
tional law would prevent the fighting
taking place within the three mile
limit. Three miles beyond Sandy

ADVANTAGES OF RUSSIA.

ADVANTAGES OF RUSSIA.
Russia has a tremendous apparent
advantages over Germany in area
population and natural wealth.
Russia ia the most extensive EN-
pire in the world, with an estimated
length Of 1000 miles and q width Of
10000, the whole comprising an aera
Of 8,660,395 miles. which is approx
mately twice the area Of Europe and
one-sixth Of the land surface Of the

The population is made up Of
Slavs, including Little and White
Russians, Poles, ETC., 91.S per cent;
urban population $50. 22,506.s00;
rural, 141.27z.O00.

Kiev, 446.s00; Lode, 403,720; Riga

were many smaller cities with q
population Of 100000 or over 10000
Instruction ID totally inadequate

the reported schools exist on paper
only. Not more than 10 per cent Of
the total population have received
even the most elementary instruc
ton Many of the teachers lack prop
er qualifications. A large part of the
appropriation for education is con
trolled by the Holy Synod, which
with the ministry for education, has

show q tendency to increase. There
are universities at -Kazau, Kiev
