EXPRESS KILLS TWO CHILL

A grade crossing, obscured by
trees, caused the death of two little
girls yesterday and the serious injury
of their mother.
The little girls, and years old,
were the daughter of Louis Hoffman
of Glen View, a cousin of Coroner
Hoffman of Cook county
With their mother they were in a
buggy crossing the st. Paul tracks at
the Glen View grade crossing when
an express train flashed by, hurting
the carriage nearly $50 feet.
The children were killed instantly.
On the porch of the Hoffman home
the father was waiting their return.
He saw the excitement and ran down
to the station. He did not know the
victims were his own,

SURE SIGN!

The kind of sign that makes US glad
And brings some warmth, all right;

A sign that's sure as sure can be,

UNION LABOR TO SUPPORT OF

All union labor has rallied to the
support of the men and women who
are striking against George Knab, l..

fair restaurant owners.
Transfers, laundry driver, ehauf-
feurs and all others will aid in a gen.
eral strike against the three restau-
rant owners. They aim to cut off all
supplies of the restaurants.
Elizabeth Maloney and Fred Eber-
ling yesterday charged that the brew
cry interests were behind the restau-
rant owners in their fight on union
labor.
Miss Maloney made the following
assertion:
''The brewery interests are afraid
of the women. They know that if the
women's organizations get contron-

lose out.

The Value of the Mediation

The chief value or the mediation Is
that IL silenced the foolish cry, On
u Mexico City," and justified the pol
icy Of inactivity which the president
is shrewd enough TO see is the wise
one. The landing at Vera Cruz. at the
particular time that II occurred, Is
now seen TO have been mistake
mistake committed because OF enron
eous information that vast stores or
war material consigned TO Huerta
were about TO arrive. The mistake
came near TO developing in Mexico
what Huerta wants and we don't want
namely, the union OF all Mexicans
against US. But, fortunately, Villa
had sense, even though Carranza had
none. and, rejecting the dlctator's
proffers OF amnesty and friendly ALI
ance. stuck 10 his job of restoring
constitutional government Thus the
landing has not produced all the Ill
consequences that might have flowed
from il.
But except for the mediation nego-
tiations large number OF thoughtless
persons would by this time be asking
why the delay about aggressive ac-
ton The president would be attack
ed as timid and vacillating. One can
hear lingo politicians, ignorant OF the
true facts, shouting reproaches be-
cause the business OF killing large
numbers of Mexicans was not imme-
dIately embarked on. The mediation,
even though IL comes TO nothing, has
been OF great service by giving the
Mexicans a further chance TO settle
their affairs.
IL is becoming clearer each week
that measurable peace will be restor-
ed in Mexico when the constitution.
alfst party has won. Half of the re-
public is now under their control, and
IL is the unanimous report OF our
consuls that order is being maintain

other foreigners respected Americans
are fleeing from the territory under

and business IL being resumed II is
too much TO expect that disorder
will cease throughout Mexico, for

rational hope is In the early success

stampeded into adopting a policy that

by those who criticise this law that
IL is an evasion OF the constitution,
which provides that the militia can be
used only to repel threatened inva-
sion and cannot be sent out OF the
country in wars OF aggression. BY the
convenient fiction that the two-thirds
vote makes each member a "yolun-
teer," the militia boys cease TO be mill

can lines. Gen. Funston, IL is stated,
deems it inadvisable TO open formal
communication with Gen. Mas. and
is therefore leaving the case TO be
dealt with from Washington. But the
incident serves TO emphasize the spe-
clal nature OF the responsibility at
present resting on President Wilson.
That responsibility Is more acute,
and demands more constant and I'M
iiinching firmness in the pursuit OF a
fixed principle OF conduct, than at any
previous stage OF the situation. Now
from one quarter, now from another,
Will come distressing or disturbing

truth from the falsehood is in itself
far from light Undertaking, and yet
this is not the most troublesome as

OF the Tampico refugees is a striking
eXemplitcaton of the kind OF danger
that has continually to be dealt with
the danger OF emotion and igno-
rance getting the better OF judgment
and knowledge. II is so much more
natural to get indignant over the
fact that the American warships did
not go into the harbor and carry on
our fellow-citiZens than to recognize
that In accepting the offer OF the Brit
ish commander we saved the lives or
our compatriots instead OF exposing
them to slaughter by Infatuated Next

a chance instead OF plunging the

tiers; but 1t is a noble work, and the
