ish policy will not be one or
"watchful waiting" as her sub
jects are lined up against adobe
walls and shot to death. We may
be equally certain that Great
Britain will neither formally nor
inferentially advise her subjects
ITO flee the country" in order to
save either their lives or their
property.
So long as the forces at the
command of Great Britain are
equal to the maintenance of the
rights of her subjects, in any part
of the world. the world knows
that they Will be enforced to the
uttermost, not by craven with
drawal and the sacrifice of prop
erty rights, but by the protec-
ton of the constituted authorities
of the countries in which they
happen to be.
The world does not expect hesi-
tation or faltering by Great Brit
ain; on the contrary, it expects
action-action that will give re-
newed assurance to British sub
jects that their persons and their
property will be safeguarded,
wherever located, or punishment
and reparation eXacted for the
violation of either.
Contrast the situation devel-
oped by the murder of a British
subject with that that has long
existed while scores Of Americans
have been ruthlessly murdered.
The attitude of our Government
gives our citizens no assurance of
immunity from violence or wrong
beyond the confines of our own
territory. The restraining influ-
ence begotten OF knowledge that
punishment will be inflicted and
reparation secured for injury to
the person or destruction of the
property of our citizens does not
exist in any part of Mexico least
of all along that great stretch of
territory that joins our own.
Sovereign nation that we be-
lieve ours to be, we find we Justly
rank far below Great Britain in
the eyes of Mexico and the world.
The persons and the property of
our citizens suffer irreparable
wrongs as a consequence. Wrongs
that never would have been in
flicted had f1rmness instead OF
weakness been the controlling
policy of our Government as it
has been of Great Britains.
And if, in the end, the demands
of Great Britain compel the Unit
ed States to intervene in Mexico,
to secure punishment of those re-
sponsible for the murder of Ben
ton, to exact 1eparation to the
fullest extent possible, and to pre-
serve the sacredness of our Mon
roe Doctrine, incidental to which
punishment is meted out to those
responsible for the murder of
Americans and the theft or de-
struction of their property, will
not our cheeks burn and our blood
tingle with the modification and
humiliation to which the inexor-
able necessities of the circum-
stances subject us as a people and
as nation?
When shall the Eagles scream
be as powerful to, protect its peo-
pie as the Lions growl?

ARE 17i,oooooo RUSSIANS.

We are so accustomed TO look up
on Russia as backward country
that the following astonishing figures
showing the actual progress of the
country will be news to most people;
In the ten years from lS9S-lsOS
her population has increased from
lS0,000,000 TO l7l,O0O.000. This is
an increase or about 20 per cent. and
these figures may be compared with
those OF Germany, the next prolific
nation. In which the increase is 1871
per cent, while in France il is down
TO 2l per cent. In II years at this
rate Of increase Russia will have a
population OF 2l5 millions of people
more than the populations OF Eng
land. France and Germany combined.
Not only has her population in
creased. but also--a point OF the ut
most importance-her productivity has
increased in proportion. Taking the
years 1902 to 1912, her exports Of wheat
rose from $4,000 600 TO slSs, zoe, 900, an
increase OF IS per cent. This agricul-
tural advance has been aided by the
state. which has instituted technical
schools in many places through the
country, and these already have some
10000 pupils; agricultural banks have
also been established in many districts

Of these latter there are about 10000.

DECLARES PREMIER ASQUITH
CALLS GERMANY'S BID FOR NEU-
TRALITY AN INFAMOUS
PROPOSAL"

London, Aug. Premier Asquith
told the House Of Commons how siren
uous and unremitting had been the eff
forts Of Sir Edward Grey TO secure for
Europe an honorable and lasting
peace.
After reading the British ambassa-
doris dispatch saying that Germany
had made a strong bid for British neu-
tralty, the premier remarked that
Germany's suggestion amounted to the
Infamous proposal that we should
give her free hand to annex the
whole Of the extra European possess
sions Of France" He continued:
II Great Britain had accepted, what
reply could she have made TO the Bel
gians' appeal? She could only have
replied that We had bartered away to
the power threatening her our obliga-
ton 20 keep our plighted word What
would have been Great Britains posi-
ton If she consented 10 this infamous
proposal and what was she TO get in
return? Nothing but a promise given
by power which at that moment was
announcing it's intention Of violating
its own treaty
We should have covered ourselves
with dishonor and betrayed the inter-
ests Of our country II we had accepted
it. We are entitled to say for our coun-
try that We have made every effort
for peace and that war has been forced
upon us.
The government Is confident that
| the nation is unsheathing the sword
IN just cause. No nation ever en-
tered into great contest with a clean
or conscience or stronger convic-
! ton"

regard TO them until after receipt OF
notification Neutral powers cannot
however, rely on the absence OF noti-
hcat!on If il is clearly established that
they were In fact aware Of the eXis-
tenCe OF war.
The general effects OF war are: To
suspend all non-hostile actions be-
tween the states parties TO the war and
their citizens and TO abrogate or sus-
pend treaties

jects Of enemy states are enemies"
