Few theatre managers would pretend

Or1ciai Statement or Opinion Of the Move.
nent Of hmm ration.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS--Str: In
view Of the recent statements In the Con-
grcss OF the United States and the news
paper controversy over the movement of
United States settlers to Canada and
Canadian settlers to tho United States,
the enclosed statement, made on February
10. 1914. by Mr.. ]. Bruce Walker Do
minion Government Commissioner of I'm
migration at Winnipeg. Manitoba. will be
OF interest to the public generally.
You will note that Mr.. Walker Gays
that the Dominion Government is Just as
careful In compiling reports Of settlers
going out of Canada as those coming in.
and he gives you exactly the figures OF
the movement, which can hardly lie dis
credited by any general statement. I
have every reason to believe that his
figures are to all intents and purposes
absolutely correct and that they repre-
sent accurately the movement to Canada
and the United States:
at Is quite true that $4,000 Americans
crossed the line into Canada during the
past six years but II IL perfect noncense
to say that $4,000 Canadians moved to
the United States in the same period.
We count only as immigrants to Canada
those who declare themselves intending
to become permanent Canadian settlers
and to definitely make their homes in
Canada, The United States authorities,
on the other hand. enunerate all the
thousands OF Americans who go back to
the United States for u visit and II will
occur TO you in a moment that II ts a
mighty important difference. Those
Americans who leave Canada, certainly
leave Canada; that is true. but they
leave TO come back in week. In two
weeks. in two days. or two months they
are not leaving permanently.
The Canadian Government takes en-
actly the same precaution to enurnera te
Canadian citizens leaving Canada for the
United States as II does to enumerate
citizens of the United States who leave
that country 10 come to Canada. For
instance. during the year 1913, 1884 peo-
pie left Canada declaring themselves
intending TO make their homes in the
United States. and they took with them
ninety -four carloads OF settlers effects.
In the same period 10000 Americans
declaring Intention to become Canadian
citizens entered western Canada ports
bringing with them 1854 carloads OF eff
fects These facts tell II story better than
anything else can say" l.. J. KELLEY.

tie amateur folk lore and anthropology
with his tennis practice while he awaits
the happy hour of II promotion or a

"Model Of Divinatory Criticism" on

Vera Cruz. q Comparison.

The occupation Of Vera Cruz, Of
which the seizure Of the custom house
was the first step. has cost the navy
not far from the same losses that Gen.
eral WINFIELD ScoTr sustained in his
elaborate land operations to reduce the
city in February. 1s47. Scorr's army
consisted Of 1900 officers and men Of
all branches Of the service. and Vera
Cruz was defended by n force Of 1890,
half Of them regulars, commanded by
General JUAN MORALES. The war with
Mexico had been IN progress for nearly
a year. Palo Alto. Resaca de la Palma
and Monterey had been fought in north
ern Mexico with but slight effect upon
the issue Of the war.
A campaign against the city Of
Mexico by way Of Vera Cruz had be-
come necessary. ScoTr was to strike
hard from the moment he landed. and
for that day his complement Of 1900
men was formidable American army.
The landing on the beach was unop-
posed, and at once he began to invest
Vera Cruz. which at that time was
fortified by a series OF bastions and
redans. Heavy siege guns were landed
from the American transports, and for
four days an almost unremitting fire
from the American batteries was kept
up. to which the Mexican artillery re-
piled vigorously. There was snip
ing" of the American camp every night,
and Mexican force Of 1000 men was
repulscd in an attempt to take the in
vaders In the rear from the direction
of the Medellin River. Eighteen days
after SCoTr disembarked his army the
Mexicans surrendered Vera Cruz. Their
losses were reported as about six hun
dred In killed and wounded. but "thesc
figures" says RlvEs lin The United
States and Mexico. 1s2l-1Sis')
must he grossly exaggerated" The
casualties of the American army were
twelve killed and forty-nine wounded.
while the navy lost seven killed and
eight wounded. total Of nineteen men
killed and fifty-seven wounded.
III
not supposed to be an act Of war In
their origin, the American casualties
were seventeen men killed and fifty
eight wounded. while the Mexicans lost
100 killed and 195 wounded, a total Of
3@l. If 1t is true, as RIyEs maintains.
that the figures given out by the Mex
leans after the capitulation Of 1Si7
were grossly exaggerated" 1t seems
to follow that history practically re-
peats itself in the casualty list; that Is
to say. the losses inflicted upon the
Americans by "snipers" in undefended
Vera Cruz in 1914 were about the same
as SCorT's casualties, while the losses
Of MORALES defending the city with
more than 1000 men were no heavier
apparently than those Of the unor-
ganized Vera Cruzians whom General
MASS left behind him to harry Ad-
miral FLETcHEB's pacific invaders.

Refusing tho Need Of Praise.

The perfection Of the inopportune
and the unit was achieved when Rep
resentative SAUNDERS Of Virginia made
his onslaught In the House upon the
soldiers and sailors Of the United
States. Several thousands OF these
men are risking their lives daily at
Vera Cruz In the country's service. A
good many Of them have been killed,
u large number wounded. Unhappily
1t is only too certain that hundreds,
perhaps thousands of others will pres
emily fall victims to Mexican bullets.
The callous cruelty OF attempting to
rob the dead and manned and those
who are facing death and injury Of the
credit due their courage and devotion
indicates a distorted mental vision. an
appraisal Of human values alien to the
healthy heart and brain. The anti
militarist spirit when 1t takes a per-
sonal rather than an economic direction
and assumes to belittle those who fol-
low the trade of war Is always wrong
headed. 1t Is untrue to history and
to human nature. 1t makes for ef-
Terminate and sordid ideals. But at
ordinary times It may be passed over
as are sundry other mistaken Views
held by well intentioned people.
But there Is no excuse for the Haunt
ing Of such ideas when the country is
experiencing the ordeal Of war and
when Its military forces are actually
undergoing tho perils and sufferings
which ennoble their calling. To say
that they deserve no credit because
they only do their duty is nonsense at
any time; 1t is rank ingratitude in the
present conjuncture.
II Is refreshing to read In contrast
with this speech upon the floor of Con-
gress the words OF JOHN p. LANE,
father OF DENNIS JOSEPH LANE. seaman
of the New Hampshire. who was killed
at Vera Cruz: HE died In a good
cause" said the bereavcd parent, "and
am proud OF him. II l were thirty
years younger I'd 80 myself" Prac-
tically every one In the country Is
proud Of Seaman LANE and his COM
radcs. whether dead or alive. Every
