In regard to Mexico, the President /
of the United States has shown an
element Of true greatness by frankly
announcing that he changed his mind.
The policy which he hoped would
result in peace and good government
in Mexico having failed, the President
rises to the occasion by an exhibition
Of moral courage that does him honor
He states the situation, eXhorts the
Mexican factions to get together, and
gives them notice that if they do not
compose their differences within
short time the United States will
bring about peace and good govern
ment in Mexico in spite of them.
BY thus courageously facing the
situation and providing for a settle
ment of Mexico's difficulties the Presi-
dent has given heart to every Ameri-
can from the Canadian line to TERRA
del Fuego He has strengthened the
hand of the government in its deal
ings with other nations. He has
struck the true note of Americanism.
He has substituted virility and clear
purpose for vacillation and feebleness.
He has shown that the broad spirit of
friendship and neighborliness which
inspired the United States to rescue
Cuba is still alive, and determined to
save Mexico.
Without this new policy, the dream
of American investments in Latin
American countries, of expanded
commerce profitable to Latin Ameri-
cans and ourselves alike, would have
remained but a dream. With Mexico
before their eyes, no Americans would
think OF investing their money and
risking the lives of their families in
Latin American countries. But with
Mexico redeemed and set upon her
feet, with her people busy at peace
instead of busily cutting throats.
Americans will now turn their atten-
ton TO the countries to the southward.
feeling sure that they will not be told
later that they are mere adventurers
and not entitled to the protection OF
their own government. American
money will go toward the develop
ment of Latin-American countries,
enriching the people and helping to
support their governments.
There is little probability that the
vicious and unprincipled factional
leaders in Mexico will have sense
enough TO heed President Wilson S
warning. None of them has given
evidence of sufficient patriotism 70

of cooperating for the welfare OF
Mexico. Mexico's redemption will
not come from them, singly or in com
bination. but in spite Of them. Only

trasts favorably with the decision of
the Austro-Hungarian General staff
to allow its garrison in Przemysl to
be cut off and starved into a sur
render. Austro-Hungarian elation
over the reoccupation of the great
fortress on the San must be tempered
by bitter recollections of the capitula-
ton of ten weeks ago. An Austro-
Hungarian army of 10000 men was
sacrificed there on forlorn hope
10000 of them going into captivity.
Przemysl was not worth that price.
No fortress on any front has been or
is likely to be worth it.
There is another drop of bitterness
in the cup of the German-Austro-
Hungarian success. Had the great
series of victories in Galicia come a
little earlier they might have changed
the whole face of the war. If Russia
had been driven 10 the wall three
months ago-even two months ago
Italy would probably never have COM
mitted herself to war against the
Teutonic powers.
The Cars forces will now need a
breathing space-an opportunity for
reorganization and recuperation,
!
short. and Grand Duke Nicholas will
hardly be able TO do more for some
months to come than to yield slowly
or to keep the enemy at bay.
The Teuton victories in Galicia will
certainly release troops for service
elsewhere. But IL is the irony of fate
for Germany and Austria-Hungary
that now that they have partially dis.
posed of Russia on the east they mus
meet Italy's fresh frst-line troops IN
the southwestern theatre.
In this war Germany has accom-
plished prodigies in the field. But ex
traordinary military efficiency has
been Offset by fatal diplomatic
blunders. German diplomacy ha'
made vain the sacrifices of German
valor. If a proper effort had been pu

HADLEY FAvORs PREPAREDNESS.

A RTHUR T. HADBEY is president of Yale univer-
"A sity. He is a firm believer in the peace-prodic-
ing function Of preparedness for war.
There are two ways to invite war, he said recent
Iy zone is to make too much preparation and the
other to make too little. I believe We are going very
fsr in the latter direction. Personally, am heartily
in favor Of Preparedness
There are millions of Americans who share that
view They are peace-loving but they do not believe
in that form Of peace that has helplessness
compartment Their view of It is that the prepared
ness should be not for aggression but for defense Of
our national and territory against all comers
The present situation gives point and effective force
TO their views
Another college head who has expressed himself in
favor of preparedness is Dr. F. s. Luther Of Trinity.
He says he favors the most thorough and complete
preparation for resistance any attack the ma
ton As he views it, there should be powerful army
and an equally powerful navy and young Americans
should he taught to "shoot straight TO take care Of

American sentiment in favor Of preparedness is
shown by the fact that the enrolment list Of this
American Legion, recently organized, already con-

The Trenton Decision in
the Steel Corporation Case
From the New York Sun }

The United States Steel Corpora
tion is the greatest of our great in
dustrial units, the foremost example
of that Capitalization and aggrandize-
ment of functions which has inevi-
tably attended the development of
modern business methods. SO also
the Government suit to dissolve this
great concern, tthe suit begun by the
Taft administration nearly FIVE years
ago in the United States District
Court at Trenton, is the supreme and
perhaps the final repressive effort Of
that period of legislative vagueness
and economic mistakes and political
folly during which the Sherman anti
trust act has been employed in at
tempts to eradicate the acknowledged
evils OF big business by eliminating
the bigness itself of business.
When the steel Corporation was at
tackled in the Federal courts as an
organization of immoral conception
and monopolistic guilt. the men man
aging the main concern and its sub
sidiary companies undertook volun-
tarily one of the most remarkable
processes of self-eXamination and ex-
purgation in the history Of business.
They subjected every part of their
system. every fact and deed Of their
interrelated affairs. to a microscopic
and merciless examination to deter

defeated tine Austro-Hungarians in
the very first few weeks of the war.
All the sturdy advance westward TO
the outskirts of Cracow and south
westward up to and across the sum-
mits of the Carpathians has gone for
naught The Russian armies surged
forward twice from the line OF the
San and the Dniester-once after the
first crushing Austro-Hungarian re-
verses in August and again after the
failure of the Germanic counter-at-
tack OF September October. Save for

cessfully the Steel Corporation has

preting the mutations of our kaleido-
scopic law. II is great triumph for
honest business management. II is
a vindication of the morality Of large
affairs. Let us hope that II marks
the end of persecution. for political
purposes and for which both political
parties are responsible, that has
paralyzed enterprise for at least a
dozen years and has cost this nation
more than a great foreign war.

Nowlet us go back moment and ''rehash" that
hmeWorm argument about the continual and unin-
terrupted flow of gas. We have pounded this into
the public mind until we are almost ashamed to re-
peat it, but is very much to the point in the spe-
cial feature of gas cooking that wish to bring out
that we going to ask you to bear with us Just now
and let us show you what would happen and does
happen almost daily to those households that de-
pend on any other fuel but gas.
We have sounded before the danger of fire from
kerosene and gasoline. We have told you many
times of the unsanitary food cooked in hot dirty
kitchen where coal is used. Now supposing your
kitchen equipment consisted of any other fuel but
gas 1t always happens at the most inopportune
time that something goes wrong with the fuel.
For upward of 65 years there has been contin-
al and never ending flow of fuel from our holders

been late meal in Gas Range Kitchen because of

The New Policy Toward Mexico

(From the washington Post.)
The Sentinel=record., 1915-01-29

The papers. not of the south only,
but of the entire country, see, in the
recent advance in the price of cot
ton. better conditions for this section
and consequently for the Union. The
depression that has prevailed has
acted as a pail which is now being
removed; for the increase means an
addition in the value of cotton OF \
hundred million dollars-that is, the
South will, under present conditions
and without further rise, get that
much more for its cotton than it
seemed likely to get few months
ago. The European is the cheapest
clothing they can get. Hence, the
nations have discovered that cloth
ing is as necessary for their army
and their people as food; and cot.
ton revival in the cotton trade, the
shipments of the staple to those coun.
tries that can be reached and the
greater activities of the cotton mills
Our news columns carried the n.
formation yesterday that the New
Orleans cotton mills have found il
necessary to increase their output
and would work. night and day, tc
supply the demand. 1t is explained
that this is not due to the foreign de
mand. But, as a matter of fact, this
is true only indirectly as the con
sumption OF American cotton goods
abroad has necessitated these Amer
lean mills making goods for the home
market to increase their output.
But whatever the cause, it must b.
recognized that this activity is
good sign of improved conditions, e.
pecially when we consider the unfa
yorable outlook that faced the cottoi
mills in the south.
