was smaller than the other. At the
same time Hensel discovered that the
grocer was suspicious and, jumping
into his wagon, left his cans behind.
Black notified Mr.. Sullivan, who de-
tailed Bernard J. Kelly, an assistant
sealer, and Thomas Brennan, his sec
rotary, to go after the man. They
went to Jersey City, where they found
that Hensel had gone to a saloon and
asked a friend there to take his team
to the stable. He did not go home
that night, nor the next, and it was
two weeks before the searchers could
find him.
When arraigned today, Hensel
pleaded guilty. The statute under
which he was held provides for pen
atty of 1000 fine and imprisonment of
from one to three years.

Belgians Being Sent

to Join Army of Allies

LONDON, Oct. 19.-The Belgian
legation In London today announced
that Belgian volunteers and militia
men who had not yet taken up arms
were being directed to proceed to
Cherbourg. Military refugees and
wounded in England able to return
to the front are being directed to
proceed to Calais.
Because of the German occupation
of the most of Belgium, the Belgian
officials say, this is apparently the
only practicable way that Belgians
may join their army now operating
with the allied left wings.

THE PRESIDENTS TASK.

Complications accumulate in the
Mexican situation. No sooner is one
cleared away than two bob up to take
its place and perplex the diplomats.
Huerta, the provisional flea, creates
most of them. others grow out of
resultant circumstances.
No president since Lincoln has had
so difficult "A task as that which con-
fronts Pres. Wilson. That presented
to Pres. Mckinley by the Cuban and
Philippine situation was comparative
~ easy 1t dealt with the question of
protection for a people of the western
hemisphere against a foreign foe. yet
Mckinley delayed aggressive action
until a flood of criticism was poured
upon him. Like Lincoln he hoped
against hope that war would not be
necessary. With greater reason Pres.
Wilson is striving to avoid the con-
flict which Huerta and the attending
circumstances of his usurpation are
attempting to force upon the United
States aided and encouraged by po-
litical enemies of the administration
at home.
With il all Pres. Wilson is main
tanning a steady course and cool
head. He is not permitting anything
TO divert him from the determination
to bring peace and good government
to Mexico without war. if that is pos
sible. Il fancy" he said in his ad-
dress at the funeral of the Vera Cruz
ha = ie do
your duty when men are sneering at
you as when they are shooting at
you" and he is doing it in accordance
with the dictates of patriotism and
humanity
Again he said. I'VE have gone down
tc Mexico To serve mankind if we
can find out the way We do not
want TO fight the Mexicans, we want
TO serve the Mexicans il we can" But
there are many things standing in the
way of rendering this service as the
president would like to render it,
There is the ambitious and treacher-
Gus dictator. the leaders of the insur-
rection. the interest of foreign coun-
tries. the interest of American citizens
and finally the sneering. nagging,
scheming political element in the
United States which cares for nothing
SO much as placing the administration
in embarrassing and difficult positions
The country has faith. however,
that Pres. Wilson Will do what is hes,
under the circumstances. faith in his
honesty and sincerity. in his wisdom
and courage.

THE BORDER LINE.

A nice point was decided by the jury
in the case Of the dream slayer.
William Marshall Keith. the Chicago
man who slew the betrayer Of his wife
and the insuiter Of his daughter. The
verdict was that Keith was insane
when he committed the act, but subse-
quently became sane.
Keith's defense was that he shot the
man as the result of dream or vision
and the contention was so well sup
p,,rted by the testimony Of alienists
that II was successful The plea is the
same as that made by Harry Thaw and
the result as in that case hinged en-
tirely on the recovery OF reason, pro-
viding the plea of insanity at the time
OF the commission of the act was es
tablished. If Keith was insane when
ne killed his victim and continued TO
be insane afterward il would have been
the duty Of the court TO cOnsign to
an asylum, IL after committing the
act under an insane impulse he be-
came sane he could not be confined
as a person OF unsound mind nor held
responsible for the murder.
The difference between the two cases
is that while Thaw succeeded in es-
tablishing his responsibility for the
death OF Stanford White he has been
so far unable to prove his recovery to
the satisfaction of the New York au-
thorities. In consequence ne remains
in custody while Keith goes free. In
making these determinations courts
and juries must depend upon the tes-
timony of alienists, persons supposed
TO be expert in diagnosing mental con-
ditions and drawing conclusions as TO
possibilities.
The services Of these experts are of
great value TO society as far as they
contribute TO its protection, but there
is one disturbing factor. and that is
that they do not always agree, in fact
frequently disagree. Whether Justly
or not, an impression prevails that eX-
pert testimony in support of any ny
pothesis may be obtained. 1t is said
that wealthy Chieago woman who
Interested herself9an keith's defense
practically cornered the expert testi-
mony of that city m behalf of the re-
cipient Of her favor. Vow whether it
would have been possible TO show that
Keith was sane when he killed his
wife's seducer or whether he was in
sane both before and after the act
must remain a matter of speculation.
