lNHNHNNHNHHHNNo3H

Now that practically all Europe has been plunged into war over pretext that must be considered triaing-n' deed absolutely contemptible in view of the untold human misery involved 1t is to be hoped that fair-minded Americans will begin to estimate more at their true value the wisdom and justice of that policy of watchful wait ing which has proved so successful in President Wilson's handling of the Mexican question. The United States had far more proyocation for inter yentlon in Mexico than Austria-Hun- gary had for it's truculent attitude to- ward Servia. Huerta proved himself peculiarly exasperating person, with much more ability and greater com mand of resources than were at first credited to him, and there can be no doubt that war of invasion, and pos sibly even of permanent occupation, would have proved popular with a large part of the American public. Ali ter the landing at Vera Cruz nothing would have been easier than to find pretext for such a warlike policy.
 It Is infinitely to the credit of Presi- dent Wilson and hig advisers that not wlthstanding the sneers and jeers of the empty.headed, the maleyolent and the selfish interests that desired to exploit Mexico for the benefit of their own pockets, he refused to take ad- vantage of the weakness of sister republic, but adhered firmly to line of action that was high.minded and patriotic. Contrasted with the bully ing arrogance of Austria-Hungary, which has set all Europe aAame, the Presidents course has shown the high est statesmanship, and his country has benefited immensely by his pa tience and tact. This fact is now gen. erally recognized by intelligent Re. publicans. The Boston Herald, loyal standpat organ, after praising the President for resisting the clamor to attack Mexico and comparing his course with that of the authorities in Vienna under less proyocation, says:
 But the President exercised stay ing and a steadying hand. We did not so in. We have saved ourselves the horrors of war, and the long leg. acy of hate throughout Latin America which would surely have followed. If the example of our own President could find imitators among the crown ed heads of Europe 1t would be a bless ing to humanity."-The Philadelphia Record.

FOOD SUPPLY SERIOUS
 QUESTION IN HOLLAND

ROTTERDAM, Sept. 2-Holland's 8 food supply is causing the authorities considerable anxiety, and, unless con. ditions in the North Sea improve, her position in a few weeks may be grave.
 The Nieuwe Rotterdam Courant prints an interview with the Minister If Agricultural Industry, in which he gives warninA of the coming scarcity of food. It appears that the stock of -four in the country is sufficient only for two or three weeks, under normal conditions.
 The Dutch crop will afford two and a half months supply but at least another month must elapse before this is at hand. Prices are expected to rise shortly and the public is urged to substitute rice for bread as much as possible.

SUPREME COURT TO PASS
 ON REBATE DUTY CASES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-The claims of importance against the Treasury for the unpaid per cent rebate for goods imported in American bottoms under the Underwood tariff may be settled in the United States Supreme Court, under the terms of new law just in effect. The measure provides that in certain cases appeals may be taken from the Court of Customs Ap- peals to the Supreme Court of the United States.
 These cases are those involving treaties and the Constitution.
 The Court of Customs Appeals Is the only court in the land except the Supreme Court from which no appeal can be taken.
