WAR
THE declaration of W

THE declaration of war made by
Austria removes from the
u realm of diplomacy tn, pos
sibility of composing the original
cause of the present European crises.
1t also transforms a situation al
ready the gravest of any this gen.
Grafton has ever known into one of
peril almost beyond calculation.
There is still the possibility, steadi-
ly growing fainter, that the conflict
may be localized. To speak plain
ly, it is still possible for Russia to
stand to one side and watch the little
Slav states of Servia and Monte
negro to which she has practically
given existence, worn down by the
millions of Austro- Hungarian soldiers,
thousands Of whom are already land
ed on Servian soil.
That Russia will do this, however,
is just as inconceivable as it was on
the day when Austria made her first
move. Nothing of the meagre news
that has come from the Russion CAPT
toll since the very beginning warrants
the slightest hope that Russia would
remain passive during the destruc-
ton of the two little governments
bound to her by race, by religion and
by sentiments that battle analysis.
And, if Russia does not suffer the
destruction of Servia, then Germany
is fatally drawn into the very vortex
of the whirlpool by her obligations
which were made by Bismarck and
through the Triple Alliance have pre-
served the peace of Europe for more
than a generation. France too, is
like Germany involved by the sacred
and binding terms of her foreign al
liances.
Italy and England may stand aloof.
Indeed, there is every indication that

A BOUT year ago the President
n of these United States, in ad-
= dressing Congress, closed with
these words:
"The steady pressure of moral force
will before many days break the bar
riers of pride and prejudice down,
and we shall triumph as Mexico's
friends sooner than we could triumph
as her enemies-and how much more
handsomely, and with how much
higher and finer satisfaction of con.
science and honor!"
1t took good many days, more
days than the President or any one
else thought, but at last the prophecy
has been fulfilled. Huerta has gone
The way to peace in Mexico is open
The Presidents course has beer
condemned rather feroeiously, and by
none more than by the professional
diplomats and alleged statesmen.
Yet his programme was simple. 1t
was SO simple that the devious minds
of the wise and mighty could not
grasp it.
He backed up against his solid prin-
ciples.
His main principle was that, war
being hell, almost anything this side
Of hell is better than war.
A great many people pretend to
believe this, sing it, shout it, and re-
peat it; but the man whose faith in
it really counted was the man who
by turn of the land might have
brought on war.
At one time "On to Mexico" was
like to be popular cry; the jingoes
ragged, the kings of the earth set
themselves, and the rulers took coun-
sci together, all agreeing that Will
son, Bryan and Co. meant all right
and were nice, good men, but they
didn't know how to steer a ship of
state.
Thanks to the common sense of
the American people there was no
stampede.
What if there had been? What if
we had invaded Mexico?
Thousands of our men would now
be lying dead, thousands Of widows
would be desolate, millions of dollars
would have been sown in the fruit
less burrows of battle. we should be
in precarious possession of a terri
tory where every inhabitant would
hate us, passions and prejudices would
have sprung up as foul perennial
weeds to plague US for generations,
we should have added one more gil
gantic act of folly to the long list of
war crimes.
The present administration may not
be divine nor impeccable. but if it
has saved US an armed quarrel with
one neighbor nation it has earned the
highest right to our gratitude.
And as the years recede the patient.
firm, masterfuls' watching and wait
ing of our rulers will shine more
and more as lustrous, golden deed
among the records of time.
If we had won a battle and slain
ten thousand men to put our flag in
Mexico we would have appointed a
day of thanksgiving for all our
churches; how much better would we
now thank God for the wisdom and
greatness Of the. President, and of
the Congress who supported him. who
have saved Us from the incalculable
disaster OF war, and made rs to
triumph as the friends Of Mexico
and not as her enemies Frank Crane.

Where are those who sneered at

other case of fool friends. Hammond
is gubernatorial size without any

gentleman from succeeding himself
