REPEL. ANY FIRING .
ACROSS BORDER.
PRESIDENT WILSON TO USE AR.
TILLERY IF NECESSARY TO
PROTECT MEXICAN BORDER.
ALL FACTIONS ARE NOTIFIED
Definite Instructions to Gen. Funston
In Regard to Peace-Border Towns
Must Not Be Molested.

Washingt Orders were issued
with the approval of President Wilson
to Major General Funston to repel
with force if necessary any firing into
American territory during fighting be-
tween the factions in borders towns
and a note was dispatched to General
Carranza advising him of that fact.
Soon afterward advices from Vera
Cruz to the Carranza Headquarters
here said the general had specifically
instructed General Gales, his com
mander before Nogales, not to attack
the village force and gave assurance
that the CarranZa force In Naco would
withdraw leaving a civil administra-
tion in charge. The garrison marched
out.
General Carranza was informed
that American border commanders
had orders to prevent by force if
necessary any shooting into American
territory. The specific method of re-
pelling the attack was not mention
ed, but the inference was American
artillery would deal with any situation
construed as an attack on American
citizens.
General Funston was instructed to
resist border attacks Immediately with
out referring the question further to
Washington.
General Carranza apparently gave
immediate heed to the warning.
The state department has had the
border situation under consideration
for several days. The Villa and Car
rama agencies here have each held
the other responsible for the viloa-
tion Of the agreement to neutralize
border towns, made when Gen. Hugh
Scott, Chief Of Staff of the Army, last
visited Naco.
The situation throughout Mexico as
reported from various sections was
considered discouraging by officials.

NOTE UNFAVORABLE.

IL
Tone Of Note.
Berlin, via wireless to Sayville-
The latest American note to Germany
concerning submarine warfare was re-
ceived most unfavorably by the Ger
man newspapers in which it was
printed.
The Tageliche Rundschau and The
Kreuz zeitung similarly declare that
the American note calls for the most
decided opposition and that it re-
quires Great Britain to show at least
an equal respect for the spirit of in
ternational law as the president de-.
mands from Germany.
The Tageblatt says:
The note shows clearly that the
American government cares more for
the crippling Of our submarine war
than for the safeguarding of American
lives. The United States must realize
that to change our submarine war
rare Is out Of the question The note
proves that pro-British influence has
gained an upper hand in President
Wilson'S circle. We hope the common
sense OF the American people will pre-
vent citizens from serving as protec
ton for English munition ships"
The Tages Zeitung writes:
"Neutrals have rights but so also
mas great nation fighting for It's
life Though maintaining submarine
warfare Germany always is willing to
respect the justifable wish of Ameri.
cans but not at any price"

Abortive Effort to Delay Transit

~fTfHE attempt to make it appear that the
Up. r. T. is endowed with a 9O-day right
either to accept or reject the plans for the
Broad street subway and the Frankford ele-
waited has been smashed by the decision of
City Solicitor Ryan.
AS a matter of fact the p. r. T. specih-
caly surrendered any options which it may
have had In either of the two cases. 1t is
without any rights whatever in the prem
ises. This is obvious to anybody who will
take the trouble to read the 1907 agreement.
II may be good tactics to rake up imaginary
privileges for the existing company, in the
hope that delay may thereby be gained. but
the effort is entirely abortive.
But. aside from the company's renuncia-
tion of any options which it may at one
time have held, it is clear that the right OF
the p. r, T. to construct either the subway
or the elevated was based on the theory of
private construction. Since then the city has
been endowed with the privilege of building
transit facilities its own account. 1t does
not have to ask any company If 1t may do so,
1t is worthy Of notice that the P. R. T.
itself has not made any claim to a veto
power of any sort on either of the projects
Involved. The objections came from sources
which seem to be more anxious to find i'm
pedments than to clear the track for transit

Only a Drop From the Bucket

TIME British merchant fleet contains more
j. than 5000 vessels of all kinds. The Ad-
miralty announced yesterday that only 2O1
merchant ships including trawlers and
yachts. had been sunk since the beginning
OF the war and that 1856 lives had been lost.
When reduced to percentages, it appears
that the Germans have succeeded in nine
months in destroying only per cent. of
this fleet. At this rate. it would take be-
tween 20 and 25 years to destroy it all,
provided no new ships were built in the
meantime
Yet until within a day or two the British
newspapers have been calling on the United

giving generously TO charity If were not

red on in Pennsylvania to last until the

time we must reach and convert an electorate
of over million voters. This hercuean task
Is straining efforts both morally and finan-

Returning Sanity Lessons the Tension

Returning Sanity Lessons the Tension
THERE are few Americans who are for
peace at any price. There are millions of
Americans who are unalterably opposed to
war If it can honorably be avoided. They
object, and object strongly, to the efforts of
jingoes or excited partisans to drive this ma
tion into war before 1t has been established
beyond question that there Is no other
straight and Just course open
We are not ready to form a defensive or
offensive alliance with any European nation.
We are not ready to invade Europe with our
armies. We still hold fast to the advice of
Washington and are against entangling in
reference in the affairs of Europe. If we go
to war, we shall do so on our own account
and fight our own battles in the manner that
seems best to us.
The American note to Berlin amply sus-
dentally concerns itself with incidentals.
The real issue is the status of the submarine
in warfare and whether not its use as
commerce destroyer is justified. We are not
prepared to accept the German view on this
subject on that point the issue is Joined.
1t is n good sign that sanity has begun
again to make it's appearance in the press.
The New York World, for instance, has re-
covered from it's fury enough to declare that
''for some of the embarrassments encoun-
tered by us in foreign waters Great Britain
is clearly responsible. 1t has not lawlessly
taken life, but for time it lawlessly took
property. With neither the will nor the
power to declare true blockade of Ger
vexatious restraint and loss, making amends
at times, but persisting nevertheless"
German aggression on the high seas has
differed in degree only from that of England
Both have ignored international law, or
made it all over again to suit their purposes
In this European death struggle, some allow
ance must be made for the desperation of
the contestants. We must insist on our
rights, but we must at the same time exer-
else great care and tact in the conduct of
our affairs
The outlook is not for war, but for peace
The situation is tense. but 1t Is not so crit
ical as it was earlier in the week. The pub
lie has had time to recover from the first
great horror aroused by the Lustanla out
rage and is beginning to reflect and con-
slider. We need never be afraid of what the
nation deliberately does. The thing to avoid
in this crisis and all others is action in the
heat of blood.
