march approximately ten miles a day.
Shelter tents and only the lightest

At times The soldiers will be forced
to imagine that they are travelling
through a country bristling with enc

tackled and forced to flee from a much
larger force Of men. It can readily be
see that such nike offers great advan-
tages over camp Ior week, espe-
cally as the militia has been to camp
many times but has never taken So
long a march, heretofore the marching
having been limited to a one-day hike
Lieutenant Elyid aunt, inspector-in
structor, United States Army. will have

quartermaster and commissary, who
will have charge of the arrangements
for camps and provisions, to meet any
conditions that may arise.
The enlisted men OF the regiment are
enthusiastic over the prospect of their
first opportunity to show the people Of
Delaware just what they are, and they
anticipate much pleasure in their visits
to each town of Importance in the state
which their itinerary includes. and
there is every indication that the spirit
Of company pride which strongly per
meates the regiment, viii be strength
ened greatly BY the new order, and al
ready they are discussing plans by
which their several companies may be
able to distance the others in proofs Of
efficiency along service lines.
There are sufficient army escort
wagons at the State Range to fully
equip the regiment and these win ae-
company the column. They viii carry
the rations. field ranges, etc, required
for the regiment, and this. Of itself, win
be something that the people Of the
State will be glad TO see and UNDER

IN dealing with a small and help
less l-ate like Colombia the United
States might better make the diplo-
matte mistake of being over generous
or magnanimous than TO incur the
possibility of causing distress and en-
barrassment by a Mosaic enforcement
of the law.
But the prepOnderance Of evidence
is that in proposing TO pay the state
OF Colombia the sum OF $4,000, 900 in
consideration for territory virtually
taken away from her we are simply
doing tardy justice to an aggrieved
people. And this evidence is cumula-
tive in the confederation given by
James T. Du Bots. no was United
states minister TO Colombia under
Pres. Taft's administration.
Mr.. Du Bots offers his expert knowl-
edge of the circumstances and the
transaction itself in Justification OF
the treaty now before the senate and
throws upon them the light of a dis
interested witness. He sincerely be-
lieves that the obligations incurred by
the cessiOn OF the canal zone should
be met by the United States. These
obligations he describes as the unpaid
annuities on the cession Of the trans
isthmian railroad company, the rever-
sionary rights in the Panama railroad
and Panama's portion OF the Colon
bian national debt.
Our obligations TO Colombia in
vOlve something more than a matter
OF money. We have. as Mr. Du Bots
describes. Inundated her before the
world. destroyed her credit with for
eign countries and ignored her per-
sistent appeals for arbitration We
nay not apologize for the wrongs we
have done her without compromising
our national dignity. but We cannot
do less than repair her national losses.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

and then. And q large part Of the
population of Mexico is in this eco
nomic condition.
Add that many of the people feel,
rightly or wrongly, that they have
something TO gain and little to lose;
that the government is the instrument
Of the wealthy classes for their OPP
preston; that any appeal they may
make to the laws as against men with
influence is fOredoomed to failure,
and you have a state of mind that on
ly waits a leader TO become an insur-
rection.
No; great masses of men can sell
dom be made to march and fight and
die at the single behest of great oil
and railroad or any other sort of in
tereSts. They must feel they are
fighting for something themselves
before they will follow the leaders
who offer. They must be ripe for
revolution before big business or
anything else can touch off the mind.
Let's keep our minds clear about
the Mexican business. 1t is easy to
ascribe things TO a single cause. 1t
is profitable at times, as is proposed
in the senate investigation, to segre-
gate one cause and study it as if it
were the only one. But let US not
forget in the haste to be definite and
dogmatic about Mexico, that there are
more causes than one for this as we'll
as every other uprising in arms
against things as they always have
been.-ChicagO Herald.

IN A CRITICAL STAGE.

The latest bulletin from the sick
room at Niagara Falls shows that
mediation is in a critical condition.
1t is Issued via the white house and
cOuched in the diplomatic language of
the medical profession.
Matters" announces the president.
ARE in as good shape as can be ex-
pected until the Mexican factions get
together"
Down in the city Of Vera Cruz Gen.
Carranza's representative. Heriberto
Jaro. has been instructed To prevent
the escape or Huerta and to protect
him from assassination. over in the
city OF Mexico Huerta is imperiously
demanding 10 know if the disruption
OF the mediation conference means
the end of the armistice between Mex
leo and the United States.
Hence the conservative character of
the bulletin from the white house that
matters are in as good shape as can
&c expected"
Yet there is an optimistic tone in
the bulletin. Pres Wilson has not de-
SPARED OF the success OF the confer
ence. lie is still hopeful that car
rama will send the delegates his rep
resentatives in Washington are franti-
cally clamOring for and that the Mex
leans themselves Will get together
The difficulty Of the situation is
perhaps beyond the fun comprehen-
sion OF those not directly identified
with the negotiations, and these are
intensified by the personal bitterness
and rival ambitions OF the Mexican
factional leaders.

EXIT HTERTA.

II Huerta has twenty millions
sailed away in New York banks. as
the veracious newspaper correspond
ents would have us believe, there
isn't enough in the city OF Mexico 20
keep him there a minute after the
finger of psychology points to the
time Of departure
Life and the Champs a. Ulysses
look good 20 Huerta. He loves the
fIeshpOts and the liquid that sparkles.
he has the prospect Of twenty years
OF leisure and pleasure before him as
an expatriate. In Mexico there is
nothing ahead but trouble and--the
fate Madero met. Carranza may talk
largely about trials and justice and
means. and what he means is that
that HGerta will be eliminated. not
banished or imprisoned but biotted
out.
Huerta is some blot on the map Of
Mexican affairs. but it is not like him
TO run the risk OF being wiped out
for the sake Of a principle. He is
cunning. crafty and courageous. but
ne knows when he is beaten and
when TO quit. The chances are that
just before the explosion occurs
Huerta will be among the missing and
conspicuous by his absence from the
final scene in the fall OF the capital.
Already the rebels are hammering
at the water and light supply of the
city. Huerta's lieutenants are show
ing signs OF INSTRUMENTATION. The
first call for departure has been
sounded. II reports from the Mex
ican capital can be believed. and
they are not unreasonable. the old
fox is ready TO make his getaway.
We may be sure. this being true.
that as far as he can plan and have
his orders obeyed the line OF exit is
open for him.

a fellow can get a lot Of pointers
by watching a tomato plant
II doesn't make a big noise as il
grows. II builds up its cells in the
silence ca the summer night. when not
a soul is in sight.
To be sure, the soil must be right,
though tomato plant VIII. grow in
almost any old soil.
And there has to be sunshine and
rain and the caress OF cleansing winds
If there were no daylight it would
die.
But its big building up is done in
the cool and quiet night, beneath the
patient stars. with no playing to the
galleries. And, though some days it
grows faster than others. it grows a
little every day, cell upon CELL cease
lessly. irresistibly
AS it grows. it shoots out suckers
little stems in the forks OF its skeleton.
If you want the best fruit. you'd bet
ter pinch these suckers off. For they
grow TO stalk and are valueless, like
bad habits.
1t also needs to be propped up,
9th ,rwise its juicy bulbs would bend
down upon the damp ground and rot.
Finally it invites great, green,
horny pronged worms. which fatten
on it's juices, like privileges upon the
poor. You can't compromise with
these worm pests if you wish to save
your tOmatoes-you've got to knock
them off and put your heel on 'em.
Yes, a tomato plant is instructive
it was deadly poison.
