CARRANzA'S LAST CHANCE.

If Gen. Victoriano Blusteranzo Car
rama is anything else than a pompous
old fool. he now has a chance TO prove
it. More than once he has thrown
away a chance TO restore peace and
save Mexico. He has done it by pet
~ and jealous quarrels with his sub
ordinates and associates in the r%evolu-
tionary movement, n by tactless and
arrogant behavior toward the Unl.ed
States and other foreign nations.
Now Carranza has another oppOr-
tunity-his last. He is once more in
possession of the Mexican capital, the
chief Mexican port and the railroad
Joining them. and has the strongest
position and most prestige of any Of
the leaders. He could make peace
quickly by offering to conciliate his
enemies. He could obtain the moral
support Of our government and public
by proving himself a big-minded pa
triot and an intelligent and practical
ruler. He could gain and hold the SUI
preme power in Mexico. bulwarked
by the United States and the powerful
Latin-American nations. He could
save his distracted country from utter
ruin, rescue his people from starva-
ton and win undying glory.
All that he needs TO do is to show
himself intelligent and tolerant-per-
sonally and officially a patriotic gen
tleman.
Is hat too much TO expect Of this
%querUlous. obstinate old man?
or Will Carranza seize his last
chance. rise 20 his opportunity ard
save his unhappy country?

ADVERTISEMENT"

An eastern organization calling it
self the Anti Enlistment League is
pledging young men never. under any
circumstances. TO join the army or
navy. 1t is naturally ~arousing a storm
OF criticism. which doesn't all, by any
means, come from jingoes or mill
tarists.
1t seems strange that any American,
knowing American history and sup
posedly animated by American tradi-
tiOns, could deliberately take such a
pledge. We are a peaceful nation, but
we have never been so obsessed with
the idea of peace that we were will
ing to swear hat we would never fight
under any -provocation whatsoever.
If such a doctrine had prevailed in
1875, there would have been no Dec
!aration of independence, and no
United States of America. If it had
prevailed in 1912, we should have
submitted tamely to Great Britain's
aggressions and been permanently de
prived of the freedom of the sea. If
it a prevailed in 1851, slavery would
have continued. or the Union would
have been disrupted-prObably both.
II our young men had been so pacific
at the time of our Spanish war. the
Cubans might still be subject to for
eign butchers and tyranny.
There are two kinds of war-aggres-
sive and defensive. No great nation
has ever repudiated the latter. Even
China does not object in principle to
defending herself. The doctrine of
turning the other cheek may work for
individuals. in a civilized society, but
the behavior Of nations toward each
other is still SO b%arbarous that no
country pledged to tame submission
could preserve its independence.
II we ever go to war again. it VIII
be in honest ~self-defense. We shall
then need soldiers. not peace ora
tiOns. Any man who disqualiies him
self now from doing his duty in such
a time Of need is doing a shameful
and uhpatriotic thing. What we need
is men willing and eager to enlist
and just as eager to preserve peace
after enlistment
