by obeying the laws and rules Of the
institution they would be acting as
God wanted them.
After the service Bishop Greer was
conducted to the condemned cells and
he held n short conference with Dago

confirmed N the Episcopal church.
Dago Frank reiterated his plea OF in

that Intervention and war would
mean for this country business set
back that we would be many years

III We intervene in Mexico" said
Mr.. Clews, we will be compelled to
raise an army Of five hundred thou
sand men. and spend 81, 900, 900 a day
for from six tn eight years. To me
the best course liz ain. I would
suggest that an earnest effort Do
made to bring Huerta and Carranza
together. The time is ripe for me-
diation.
The Monroe Doctrine is claim
of much vagueness and many dam
gerous possibilities. II is exceedingly
unpopular with all nations in South
America, who do not relish our play
ing the big policeman without their
consent Nor do some of the great
powers like our standing in the way

Ex-senator Clark explained that
the Peace and Arbitration league,
while lahoring constantly for peace.
did not believe in disarmament. He
declared that President Wilson was
right in his course toward Mexfcp,
and deserved the support or every
citizen.
Hudson Maxim believed that war
is doomed because men are too vail

Germans one day because he could
not see that they were Of use to any
body" said Mr.. Maxim. but $4,000
Germans arc worth a lot of money
today, and they are not to be sslaugh-
tered so easily The president prob
ably knows better than any OF us
what the situation requires. The
country must support him 1t seems
too bad, though. that the Monroe
