NO TIME FOR HATING ACTIVITIES


While apparently the hostile move by
President Wilson against Mexico was
fruitful of the result desired-the salute
of the American fiag-it nevertheless
would be unwise to relinquish one small
part of the present movement until the
actual consummation of the reported
purpose of the provisional president of
the republic to the south of us. Until
the salute really is given, there should
be no diminution of the determination
which actuated the president of the
United States, backed up by Congress
and vast majority of the people of
the nation. With Huerta, we are
prompted to say, a promise not backed
by action is not worth picayune. His
whole dealing with the United States
during the year and more that he has
been the provisional head of the Mexican
republic has been along the line of
man who considered himself performer
in opera bouffe and calculated, there
fore, to bring out laugh from the audi
ence of the nations of the world when
ever he could. That he has tried often
to procure that laugh at the expense of
the United States has been apparent
right along; and, we are sorry to CON
TESS, he has been successful on several
occasions. This man Huerta has made
the position of the United States we'll
nigh intolerable. Now, when occasion
has arisen for the United States with
full right to demand amends, it is the
course of reason to pursue the advantage
until full and complete apology is made
for the unwarrsnted violation of inter-
national eourtesies at Tampico a few
days since. When Huerta has saluted
the American flag it viii be time to call
of the warships now on the way to Mex
lean waters.

Rear Admiral Henry Mayo, who was
in charge of the United States vessels
at Tampico when the latest unpleasant
ness" developed, inherited his love for
the water life from his father, who was
the captain of boat on Lake Cham
plain when a resident of Burlington,
where the rear admiral was born While
Rear Admiral Mayo has not done any
thing to deserve placing his name along
with Dewey, Clark and Converse, it is
worth noting that in the present crisis
his actions were backed up by the pres
ident of the United States and the other
authorities at Washington. There easily
was chance for Rear Admiral Mayo
to do the wrong thing in very trying
situation, to 60 beyond bounds in max
ing demands for apology from the Mex
lean government, even to fall short of
the completeness of the apology thought
necessary. But he did not do the wrong
thing; he hit the mark. President Will
son supported him to the fullest extent.
Rear Admiral Mayo thus proved himself
a good man for crisis.

Such an enthusiasm is the evidence of a

artists enough to pay up their defects

them lovely, or. at least, fascinating.
Just why the American dressmakers
have not borrowed this trick from the
French is not quite clear. The reason
is, probably that they have not yet
had sufficient complaints about the

French Canadian Union Awards
Next ConcIave to Lake Linden

T.. T.. Prince, vice president of the
Union of French Canadian societies,
returned last night from Alpena where
the tri-ennial convention was held
during the present week. MIR Prince
brings word that the 1917 convention
was awarded To Lake Linden and
members of the local branch today are
jubilant over it's success. While the
time is far distant. preparations for
the reception of the visitors will be
made gradually and an attempt will
be made to make the next cunclaVc the
most successful in the history of the
order.
The Alpena convention was mark
ed success though the ardor of the
delecates was cooled somewhat be-
cause of the depression due to the Eu-
ropean conflict. Forty seven delegates,
representing approximately $500 mem
bers were present.
one of the most important steps was
the adoption OF revisions To the con-
stituton and the adoption of plans
for a membership campaign, through
which it is hoped To increase the en-
rollment by hundred per cent before
the next convention. Substantial prizes
will be offered and organizers will he
employed throughout tho district
which the union embraces. The order
now comprises the states Of Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota and the
French population i'm that section is
sufficient to produce greater results,
according to the action of the Alpena
meeting. The campaisn will begin as
soon as conditions become satisfactory.

later began the stream OF Americans

time and were employed in the various
countries affected by the war. Many
