Congressman Keatin6's Letter.

4 We no longer here talk OF the
United States intervening in
Mexico. The nation-and, for
that matter, the world-acquies-
es in the presidents policy of
"watchful waiting" The coll
stitutionalists are slowly push
ing their lines nearer snd near
er to the City of Mexico. The
days of uhe murderous usurper
are numbered. The story of
the final catastrophe may fill the
papers at any time. And yet
not single soldier in blue has
crossed the Rio Grande. We
are permitting MeNicans to de-
1 termine the destiny of Mexico.
A few months ago powerful
! interests on both sides of the
AtlaLtic were intent in forcing
this country's hand. They clam
ored for intervention and their
clamor was echoed in portion
Of the American press. The
President was denounced as IL
mollycoddie who who was care
less of the nations honor,
and INSCRIPTIONS press agents
famed popular passion with sto
ries of mythical "outl'ages" per-
petrated on Americans resident
in Mexico. | called attention to
this propaganda at the time and
Indicated the author as clear
ly as possible. 1 predicted that
,, the President would not STAN
pede" and he has fully verified
the prophecy. Through the
storm of abuse and vilitication
he serenely held his course, and
now the whole world applauds
his saglcity and courage.
OF course he did not play the
game according to the rules.
That's what amazed the Europe
an diplomats. They could not
understand this Princeton
schoolmaster's system. Some
! of their countrymen made the
same complaint concerning the
. military tacticts of the young
1 Napoleon during the immortal
Italian campaign. Napoleon's
tacticts led to victory and Will
son policy will lead to something
I, bigger and finer than any tri-
umph ever achieved on tented
fielG-the enforcement of great
natior's will without the firing
of shot or the sacrifice of a
soldier.
We were discussing these
things the other night at the Ma
tional Press Club--thst of the
Washington correspondent-and
on. Of the newspaper boys told
the story of one of the Interest,"
ing developments of the Mexi-
can situation.
'It may be, as you say, said
he" that Wilson does not play
this diplomatic game according
to the rules; but he DOES PLAY
THE GAME Don't forget that

John Bull, on his head. When
Porfirio Diaz was about to give
up political ghost and quit Mexi-
co, he gave Il practical monopoly
of the immensely valuable oil
fields of Mexico to s. Pearson
& sons, limited, of Lon don.
Nov, Pearson is the Rookie
! feller ofEngland and he intended
to use his Mexican oil monopoly
to provide johnny Bulls navy
with fuel oil. About that time
Winston Churchill, tie first lord
of admiralty, announced that the
old coal burning type of war yes
sci was decidedly paSse, and
must be superseded by the mod
