What of Mexico?
Bridgeport Post. }

Two months ago President Wilson sent to the warning factions in Mexi- co a warning that they must cease their fighting, try to settle theira:if- ferences and restore peace. Instead of needing the warning matters have gone from bad to worse. New revo1ts and brigand raids have started up. Starvation is found in many sections. Fighting continues in all directions.
 It is now announced from Washing ton that the president has in contern- plation a new line of policy. What that will be no one yet knows. Indeed, 1t is intimated that the administration has several under consideration.
 Washington is trying to guess which one will be adopted. Some think the first move will be another demand. This time Washington will insist on a conference between the various lac ton leaders. Another plan intimat,sd is the renewal of the order against shipping ammunition and war sup plies fhis would at least stop the Battles,
 Tac most disquieting rumor of all from Washington is that the admi nis- tration seems likely to take sides against Carranza. It would seem that we have had at least two lessons Of

An Impartial Contributors. (Wall Street Journal.)

It has been charged, by some illo- gical persons that because the Wall Street Journal refuses to condone the rape of Belgium, or the murder of non-combatants on the high seas and elsewhere, it does not reflect German opinion It is worth while, therefore, to submit the opinion of one of Ger many's greatest writers:
 T regard this Prussian Eagle with apprehension, and while others vaunt his daring glances toward the sun. look the more attentively at his claws.
 'I could not trust this Prussia, this tall, pietistic hero in gaiters, this braggart with the capacious nav carrying corporal's staff, which he first dips in holy water before bring ing it down upon ones head.
 ''I had great nisgivings about this medley of beer deceit and Branden- burg sand
 'Repulsive, deeply repulsive to me was ever this Prussia, this pedantic, hypocritieal, sanctim onious Prussia this Tartuffe among nations.
 Prussia has made use of its most thunderous demagogues to preach to the world that all Germany ought to be Prussian-Eegel himself has been obliged to demonstrate the advantages of servility.''
 This was written by Heinrich Heine in, 1882, but. nobody would call it out of date. It is, in fact, strikingly in line with criticism of the Prussian character published in the New oYrk- Staats zeitung nine years ago.
 The quotation can be left to speak for itself. Although the Prussian pro- fessional mind believes it: can im- prove upon Shakespeare the Wall Street Journal does not hold a like view about it's own relative abilities and Heine's.

What The Doctors Wife Found.
Philadelphia Record).


 The well-established practice of sewing up sponges, towels and small surgical instruments in wounds made in patients ought to be confined to the laity. A man who is not a doctor or surgeon is not expected to know what is the matter with himself, and If he objects to hardware and tex tiles in an incision he can be dispos- ed of by the assurance that he doesn't know what is good for him, and has no degree or certificate authorizing him to discuss surgery But when towel or napkin 10 inches square was sewed up in an incision made in pr. J. Edgar Todd, of Toms River, the ethics of the profession were vio- lated because the victim was a doc tor The wound made seven months ago did not heal, and when Mrs Todd was dressing it she saw some thing white hanging out of her hus- band Believing it to be no part of him, she pulled it out. These ad- juncts of the operating room ought to be kept out of members of the profession.

Connecticut Banks and New York
 Providence Journal.)


 Fifty-two banks in Connecticut. in the territory west of the Connecticut river. have petitioned the Federal Re- serve Board to be transferred from the Boston regional district to the New York one. This movement is encouraged, nc doubt, by the success of the hundred or more members in northern New Jersey in getting permission to change over from Phil adelphia to New York ~ Sl
 There nave been other such read justments, too, through of less im- portance. Like the New Jersey insfi- tutions, those of western Connecticut habitually transacted most of thcjr business through New York until the Federal Reserve system was formed. The fundamental trouble, Of course. is in the. system itself, which com pelled the carving out of not less than eight, nor more than twelve 'tcen- traP' banking regions. Baltimore is still pressing it's claim, to be regard ed as a regional center, and to have the reserve bank removed from Rich- mond. The Federal board is apparert- ly attempting to console New Orleans for being set aside in favor of Allan ta, by trying the experiment of a branch reserve bank there
 The regional system is bound to he subjected to a process of read3ust- ment, indefinitely; particularly as. apart from the elemental defect of forcing geographical distribution political Influence. plainly enough. was responsible for the choice of some of the reserve cities The effect is gerrymander.

the disa dvantage of taking sides and the effect soon becanhes apparent.
 That the situation is more difficult than ever is admitted by all. It could not be otherwise. Our own mistakes have aggravated them. If we do not gain lesson by these mistakes and govern future action accordingly we but invite a repetition of the outcome of the past two years. President Wilson will accomplish wonders if a settlement. is reached without inter- vention.
 What the end will be no one ven- lures to predict. It is three years and more since the revolution started ana there are more factions in Mexico than ever, all largely due to the fact that our government. under two ad- ministrations. has taken indirect sides, first with one faction, then with an- other and then again with another, without lending any of them direct physical assistace except Villa Then We occupied Vera Cruz and. blocked Huerta. ., ... s..s F,

A Matter of Machines?

It is reported according to the Phil adelphia Public Ledger, that there are. now more that 5 0 ,oOO machine guns in the German army. each regiment having a machine gun companyof six guns, manned by four officers, and ninety-two soldiers. This is compu- . tation to set one thinking. You can Kill men; machine guns life goes on until it is captured.

When Militiamen Shot the Cow.
(Louisville Courier-J ournal.) }

Kentucky nilitiamen who were militiamen dozen years ago when the COW was killed at the rear of the court house in Jackson by a volley in : tended for man on horseback who Sdid not halt or respond orally when ordered to halt, will be glad to know that congratulations upon good mark manship are being showered upon the officers and crew of an Italian de- stroyer which shelled and killed a whale in the Adriatic, mistaking it for submarine.
 The incident which made the cam paign in Breatllit famous occurred at Il o'clock in the evening, or there about, and during d thunderstorm. The jail contained prisoner who was believed to know enough to hang Hargis"-a hired assassin who was nephew of the notorious county judge, chief of his clan. It had been rumored that those who knew what Curt Jett knew, and might tell, would rush the jail and take, or pre- ferably kill. the prisoner to shut his mouth. The business of the soldiers was to keep the lid upon a situation which was not without a threat of tragedy that could be seriously re- garded. When the COW, in the pitch, blackness, proceeded upon her way without regarding the order to halt, she met instant death, which reflect ed credit upon the decision and mark manship of the men behind the rifles. Yet an effort was made to suppress the news of a humiliating error and a guffaw from the mountaineers and 8 litter across the state followed the leakage of the truth.
 X The whale, it may console veterans of the Hreathit campaign to know, was shelled in daylight under a blue sky The destroyer was manned by seasoned men and officers of the ItaI- ian navy.

Hail to the Last Man. (St. Paul Pioneer-Press.) i

Quaint, fascinating and historica, in it's significance is the custom of fl, e survivors of Co. B, 1st Minnesota vol. unteers of the civil war nicknamed the Last Mans club to sit together about a banquet table each year with the draped empty chairs of their de- parted comrades and to talk in cool contentment of that day when there will be single last survivor
 fl As has been said, these men have faced death before and faced it nightly. Their regiment carries the record of having sustained the heavi- est losses both at Bull Run and at Gettysburg. But those were days of youth-youth with its persistent op- timisn1, and in battle one feels that he has chance. If he survives the fire he may live half-century or more az these men have lived. But nowadays as these aged veterans gather abont the festal board their physical youth gone, they know there Is no chance. They know practically that not year will pass wherein grim death does not enter the dwindling circle to take some comrade by the hand and lead him to join the grent majority. But, as at Bull Run ana Gettysburg, they are optimistic, un- affrighted-game to the last. Per haps they are weary of waiting. lone- some in a world of new faces and more than wiling to take a rest.
 One of their established institutions is bottle of wine which appears un- opened at each annual banquet the gift of the father of one of their de- parted members. The comrades are to drink water until only one is left. The last survivor is to drink wine There was desire expressed at the last meeting that this purpose be ch hanged; that the last man leave the wine unopened and present the bottle to the state historical society. But surely this would be spelling a pretty conception. We hope the last man

The Penalties of Youth.

One cannot travel much throas;1 Connecticut towns without realizing the advantages which age brings to place. There are some things which town, no matter how enterbrlsing ana progressive it may be, cannot get except through the melowing process or years. Old shade trees, old build lngs, old families are not produced in .oay. Then, too, private munificence comes slowly. Nearly all the old towns Tn Connecticut are ornannented Witn memorials of some sort, the &C., cunulation of generations. There are memorial churches and libraries ana schools and hospitals and monuments ana parks and bridges. These are the donations of individuals or families Who through long and toilsome years nave accumulated wealth and then through lack of descendants, or love Tor the old town have bestowed their money for some public use.
 Manchester has grown rapidly and notwithstanding it's prominent place Tn the property lists and census tables or the state, it is yet an infant com- pared with most of our towns. Its streets have been developed so rap idly that there has been no time to line them with arching elms. It has been all we could do to equip them with service mains and side- walks. Hundreds of our dwellings are palpably new and the. grountis surrounding them, though in most instances neatly kept, lack the ver- dant velyety turf and the matured shrubbery and trees which long time and care alone can produce. We are deficient in parks and other mem- orials for the same reason.
 Nothing adds more to the attrac- tiveness of a place then well shaded streets. Nor do we have to wait for someone to get rich and die in order to get them. Anyone can plant a tree and in few years it will be an object of beauty. He may not live to see it mature, but those who fol- low him will thank him for his fore. sight as they enjoy its grateful shade. We can all do at least oar share in making the Manchester of the future we'll shaded town. The fine public buildings and memorials will come in due time.

A Gospel of Cheer.

The following paragraphs may be found over the writing desk in one of the rans-contirental trains. There is meat for thought in all of them They preach the gospel of cheerfuIness.
 Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. A well-told story is as welcome as a ray of sun shine in sick room.
 Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. The world is not interested in them. Y
 Learn to stop croaking. If you can not see any good in the world, learn to keep the bad to yourself
 Learn 10 hide your pains and your aches under pleasant smiles. No one cares to know whether you have ear ache, headache or rheumatism.
 Don't cry Tears do we'll enough in novels. but they are out of place in real life.
 Learn to meet your friends with a smile. A good humored man or wo- man is always welcome, but the dy- spepjtic and hypochondriac is not wanted anywhere, and is a nuisance as we'll. ....-.....
 Don't bother others, when they wish to work. Because you are a loafer you should not force others to become so.
 Perform your manicuring in your own boudoir, not in the street car where there is no escape for others If you must pick your teeth, do not do so in public.
 Above all lose no chance of giving pleasure. You will not pass through this world but once. Any good thing. therefore, that you can do or any kindness that you can show any hu man being you had better do it now. Don't defer or neglect it, for you will not pass this way again
