The New Ambassador

Soon the question Of ambassador to Mexico will
come up for decision. Those who believe in Mexico
and desire to the country redeemed and started
the road Of progress only hope that a
will be picked who will really contribute something to
such ends
The new aPPOintee, let US hope, will not be named
because Of political personal favortsm but because
Of his superior fitness for the post. He should be
well informed upon Mexican and latin-American
affairs and if possible possessing the great advantage
of long residence and personal in those countries
to the south of US. He should be with heart
capable Of eomprehendng the spirit Of the Mexican
people and inclined to be deeply sympathetic with their
legitimate aims.
He should be man wholly free from entanglements
with any American financial industrial interests;
man who cannot be reached controlled by such in
terests and who will decline to communicate with them
except officially openly, and through regular channels.
He should be a whose sole ambition is to serve
his country and his countrymen through all legitimate
means and who will his prestige and exceptional
opportunities to gain concessions, privileges, profits

Social traits will be useful. But above ALL the
ambassador to Mexico should be of clear thinking,
keen insight vgoT industry, serenity, and granite firm
ness in carrying out Just American policy toward
neighbOr sovereign country.

Another Wise Step Taken

Action of the Washington government in laying an
embargo upon arms and ammunition to Mexico except
shipments destined for the newly recognized de factO
government line with good precedent and the de-
mands Of international friendship.
This action is strictly logical 1t does not carry
the implication Of picking and choosing among factions
fighting for the domestic supremacy in Mexico, because
technically there are longer any factions-there
are only government and rebels against that govern
ment. It is no part of the duty the right of the

government

SHOWS REAL VALUE OF BUNT
Object to Be Gained Is in Second At tempt When Batter Should Hit the
 Ball a Bit Harder.

What is the value of bunt?" Have you ever stopped to think over this question? We'll, no. Is it in the first attempt or in the following?
 Many argue that there is nothing to a bunt but to lay the ball down with runner on base and advance him by sacrificing yourself. That's not the value of bunt, according to Mana. ger Hickey of the Browns.
 Most players, when they are told to lay it down with a man on base, get in there and run it out. This is the mistake many of them make. But now, to show that the value of bunt is with the succeeding attempts: If a batter bunts once, of course, the first and third sacker will draw in the next time he comes to the plate. Then all the hitter has to do is hit a. little harder, and nine times out of ten he will own base hit
 And right there is the real value of a bunt''
