WHAT AMERICA MEANS.
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1914. by Frank Crane.l

The spectacle of the navy of the United
States speeding to Mexican waters and
Of the army of the United States oc-
cupling Vera Cruz is more magnificent
than we realize
We are too close to these events to see
their grandeur even as one must be at
some distance from Mont Blanc to ap-
preciate it's majesty
That which makes wonderful the ad-
vance upon Mexico is the fact that these
trained soldiers and sailors of the great
est nation of earth are not going down
to their feeble neighbor to fight the peo-
pie. there. to pillage or to oppress them
Everybody knows that We covet not a
foot of Mexican soil. wouldn't have it as
gift. and that in case of war we should
establish the country in independence.
even as We did with Cuba, and as we
shall one day do with the Philippines
The wars of the old world have been
wars of subjugation. Caesar used his
legions to weld the conquered provinces
into one great empire The armies of
Charlemagne and Napoleon, of England
and of the Mohammedans We're instru-
| ments of the same proud and selfish
dream of dominancy.
The battle power of the United States
is the friend of the people of any nation
ii approaches. 1t has no aim but their
advance in civilization and commercial
prosperity: no method but their own
autonomy.
This attitude of our country is the
most amazing thing in Christendom: the
proudest flower of the twentieth CEN
tury.
Our invasion of Mexico is an imposing
gesture of democracy. 1t means the
rescue of a people from their corrupt
masters.
Behind the far-hung battle line OF
our boys in blue there advance other
armies the real armies of occupation; /;
they are :he army of schoolmasters.
erecting not forts but schoolhouses. not
pIundering 3ut teaching, and the army
of sanitary experts attacking the cen
tury-old pests of fever and smallpox.
the army of railway builders opening the
mastered wilderness to progress.
AT the present rate of increase it Will
, be but a few generations until the United
States will outstrip Europe both in
population and in wealth. This country
viii dominate the world. And the least
| Of the nations shall not fear. For to US
| the days of conquest and annexation are

| There is no time like the present for

sonable patriotism.

It's a Brand-New World.

Margery's lack of consistency rather
worried me- but Jane only laughs at it.
She says the child is so full of happiness
ard so brimming over with new inter-
ests. that ii is not to be expected that
she will long center her affections on
any one thing. 1t Is a brand-new world
to her. and all day long she can play at
being Alice in Wonderland. Merely going
out and bringing in a fresh-laid egg
seems to give her more happiness than a
trip to the Zoo did when We lived in the
city. Now that the days are warm and
sunny. she is out OF doors from daylight
to dark and is busy every minute. Last
summer. if she went for a walk or play
ed on the sidewalk for an hour. she
came in tired out and would be listiess
tine rest OF the day. Now she runs and
plays the long day through. and, though
she goes to bed tired at night gets UP
in the morning fresh and ready to do it
all over again. There no1onger IL rea-
son to worry because she Is frail and
delicate. If everything we plant should
prove a failure. and all our live stock
ventures result in financial loss. We will
