MEXICO FORTNIGHT AGO;
WILSON SAVED THE DAY

Washington, Aug. 19.-Just how
close the United States came To beini
involved in a war with Mexico as re.
Gently as a fortnight ago was revealed
by high officials OF the administration
When General Carranza abruptly re-
fused the overtures OF the peace en-
voys sent by Provisional President
Carbajal and at the same time ignored
the diplomatic efforts OF the American
government TO bring about a peaceful
entry OF tho Constitutioualists into
Mexico City, drastic measures were
urged upon President Wilson.
Many members OF the cabinet-it is
said, a majority-argued in favor of
sending American troops from Vera
Cruz to the American capital TO pre-
vent the anarchy that was then ex-
pccted to follow from the failure of
the Carbajal government and the Con-
to reach an agreement.
President Wilson, however, firmly
resisted all pressure arguing that the
sending OF American troops to Mexico
city, even on a mission OF order, would
probably mean war with the Constitu-
tionalists.

have been poured into Austria and
another great army will be over the

ness with which Russia has been able
TO assemble her crushing forces is the
most important factor in the campaign

VANS are holding the Austrians all
along the Danube and Austria dare not
detach the bulk OF her army to resist
the Russian advance.
Germany is known to have left the
protection OF her eastern frontier to
six army corps while she has moved
twenty against France To resist the
Russians. therefore, there are approx

Bookings have already been made and
the meeting Thursday is merely for
the purpose Of closing contracts.
While admitting that Industrial con-

as good as they were three weeks
ago, the directors OF the associotinn
feel they are still very satisfactory
and warrant the continuance Of plans
for the fair. This matter will however
be considered by the society at the
meeting Thursday.
The mineral exhibit will be one of
the big features of this years fair.
The assistance Of practical mining

into war at the time Of the Morocc
crisis.
This is not war OF conquest. |
is not a Napoleonic war TO satisfy tn
personal ambitions OF an emperor.
! is a defensive war for the German
race with their national life at stake
Europe was ready for this struggle
When the Austrian archduke wa
murdered every European capital knew
that the time lad come for action. Tt
the average American the storm ap.
peared from a clear sky. but as a mat.
ter OF fact, Europe had prepared FOL
many years for this struggle. When
last fall Germany made extraordinary
increases in her military appropria
tions and extraordinary sacrifices FOR
the defense OF her national integrity
the socialistic party voted for these
enormous appropriations. The situa
tion at that time was so acute that
Germany felt herself in a very pre-
carious position among the nations OF
Europe.
England has been Jealous OF Ger
many and her commercial triumphs
FOR over geenration. France has
advertised her loss Of the provinces Of
Alsace and Lorraine until the whole
world has accepted her sentimental at
titude on this question. Russia, since
her setback by Japan has been looking
westward for an outlet to the sea.
Result in Doubt.
1t il very difficult TO forecast the
outcome Of what may prove 10 be the
greatest war in the history OF man
kind. There is no reason to assume
that Germany will win. any more than
that il is a foreEone conclusion that
the allies will defeat the German and
Austrian combination. The great ma
chine which In turn crushed Denmark
In 1854, Austria in 1866. and France in
1870. is again under way, and il only
remains 20 be seen whether the mod
ern engines of destruction will check
the massed attack OF the most wonder
ful infantry that has ever marched on
a battlefield.

WAR OF TEUT0N AND SLAV WAS
INEVITABLE, SAYS EDITOR, IN
DEFENSE OF KAISER'S ACTIONS

New York, Aug. l9-In today's is
sue OF the Stats Zeitung in an articl,
over his own signature, Herman Rid
der. editor OF the paper and one OF IN,
most prominent and influential Ger,
mans in the United States, defend,
Emperor William and the German en-
pire in its war against Russia, France
and England. The article is the hrst
Of series which will present a view
of the European war and its causes
through German eyes.
Every Teuton knows that Germany
and Austria are fighting for their very
existence" he writes. 1T is quite
clear TO the German mind that this is
clash in which either the Teuton or
the Slav will impose his civilization on
the greater part OF Europe. The strug-
gle has been many years in coming.
Germany did not want war. During
the last quarter century her industries
and her commerce have developed
under the regime OF kaiser who has
always been sincere and forCeful ad-
vocate Of peace. That all these efforts
Of 25 years OF uninterrupted peace
should be lost in few days must tell
its own story. Germany, whether
successful or not, must make terrible
sacrifices and stand tremendous loss
es. When the diplomacy OF Europe
isolated Germany and Austria. it made
certain the day when all Europe
would be aligned against the Teutonic
race.
"A Military Nation"
ITO picture the kaiser as blood
thirsty war lord is arrant nonsense.
The telegrams that were exchanged
between the kaiser and the car show
how far the German emperor went 10
preserve the peace OF Europe.
Further, 10 assume that the en-
peror declared war in the presen, in
stance against the viii Of Germany is
an absurd assumption.

Easy to Spot Strangers.

The life OF Vera Cruz today somno-
lent, as il is, still centers about two
sides of the plaza, where, under arch
ed sidewalk cafes, one sits and talks,
takes a walk around the block in a
htful moment OF energy, only To re-
turn again to talk and sit. where all Is
gloom except the fat faces of the
Spanish proprietors. Seen for the first
time 1t would be pleasing and pic
turesque scene. Even now in the eve
ming, when under the influence OF the
brilliant electric lights, the music hid
den in the soft and twinkllng green of
the plaza across the street, eatable
food. the customs OF generations the
Americans brighten up a bit. and TO
the stran r might get the impression
OF brilliant happy assemblage. Put
that would be partly because they
would recognize him as a stranger,
perhaps the bearer Of real news Of the
wished for variety.
