THE BENEFITS OFWAR.

Marconi. the Italian genius who
gave to the world wireless tele.rap ply,
is of the opinion that the losses of
the European conflict are counter
balanced by the advance made in
science, and looks upon the war as a
mighty boon to mankind. He says !:
"The advance that has been made
in wireless telegraphy alone is much,
much greater than could have been
possible in the same space of time,
were there no war. Belligerent gov
ernments, straining every resource
to obtain decisive victory, have no
such grip on purse strings as the
same governments in times of peace.
MISUNDERSTANDING now the COM
mercial world is denied the practical
benefits arising out of the lavish ex-
penditures of belligerent govern
ments forwarding inventions-when
the war is over and the results of
these experiments are made known
the world will receive a stunning
surprise. The tremendous improve
ments which have been already
effected and which are being con-
stantly made in almost every line of
inventive activity will be almost as
would appear an aeroplane in fight to
our fathers a quarter of a century
ago 1t will be the combined sum OF
all the forward strides which will
have been taken secretly during the
period of the war that will be sud-
denly spread before the peoples of
the world when peace is declared
and enough progress has already
been made to guarantee that the final
denouement will be amazing.''
While there are compensating bene-
fits of war it is extremely doubtful if
they Offset the losses, and horrors
and suffering. At any rate it is a
staggering price to pay for advance
ment.

Argus Eyed and Hydra Headed.

The term "Argus eyed" means watch
full. According to the Grecian fable,
Argus had 100 eyes, and Juno set him
to watch all of whom she was jealous.
When Argus was slain she transplant
ed his eyes into the tail Of the peacock.
Hydra headed is a term derived
from the fable of Hercules and the
hydra. The hydra had nine heads, and
Hercules was sent to kill it. AS soon
as he struck off one of it's heads two
shot up in it's place.

CALLS ON ALL MEXICANS
TO SETTLE DIFFERENCES
President Wilson Warns Them to
Accommodate Their Dis
puteS.

Washington, June 2.-President
Wilson, in the name of the United
States government, today publicly
called on all factions in Mexico to
accommodate their differences" and
set up a government that can be &C
corded recognition.
Failure to unite in a movement to
bring peace to Mexico within a very
short time" it was announced in a
statement telegraphed to Gems. Car
rama, VILLA, Zapata and others.
would constrain the United States "to
decide what means should be employ
ed" to save the people of the South
ern republic from further devastations
Of internal warfare.
HVerywnere-in Official and dip
lomatic quarters and among Mexicans
of varied learnings-the statement
was interpreted as meaning that the
United States would bring pressure
to bear first to unite the factions in
the choice OF a provisional president
and, falling to bring all elements to-
gether, would give its active support
to those elements which did agree.
Ultimate Intervention was considered
possible, but only if a hopeless con-
dition of anarchy followed with no
remedy from within the republic.
The text of the presidents state
ment follows:
"For more than two years revolu-
tionary conditions have existed in
Mexico. The purpose of the revolu-
tion was to rid Mexico of men who
ignored the constitution of the repub-
lie and used their power in contempt
of the right of its people; and with
these purposes the people of the
United States instinctiVely and gen.
erously sympathized. But the leaders
of the revolution, in the very hour of
their success, have disagreed and
turned their arms against one another.
