NEUTRALITY
Editor Day Book-It is

Editor Day Book-It is a pity that
so many Americans of British and
TeutOnic descent cannot sufficiently
respect President Wilson's request for
neutrality. We have enough indus
trial warfare in the states to occupy
our waking moments, without losing
sleep over European crime. Wher-
ever we go the people are talking
war, war, war. Newspapers are TAX
ing sides, trying to infiame the minds
of the people for or against the va
rious nations engaged in the titanic
struggle for naval, military or COM
mercial supremacy. ....
Some of our statesmen of the
Champ Clark type come out boldly
with the convincing statement that
"the combined armies of Europe
would never reach the Ohio river, and
water their horses therein" etc., alb
lib.
What is the purpose of such state
ments, and where is their value? If
made to lul the people of the U. S.
into a sense of false security, such
statements are ill-advised, for we

DIAZ IN MONTE CARLO
Elk President Posted by Friends
on Mexican Developments.

Monte Carlo. April 2l.-General Porhrio
Diaz. former President Of Mexico, has
come here to recover from the after ef-
fects OF an attack of grip. He Is accom-
panied by his wife.
The convalescence OF the general, who
is nearly eighty-four years old, is MAX
ing normal progress, although he Is
troubled with deafness. He shows great
interest in the news about Mexico, and
besides reading all available newspapers
receives many private kilograms on the
subject.
General Diaz refused to-day TO com
rnent on the action Of the United States
toward General Huerta when d CORE
spondent reminded him Of his often re-
heated remark. that the only circuH-
stances under which he would return TO
Mexico would be when peace had been
established there or when his country
was attacked by a foreign power.
Some months ago General Diaz asked
General Huerta as an act Of patriotism
10 retire from the dictatorship OF Mex
leo in favor of some one who could OBJ
tain the confidence Of all factions in the
country.
