How woefully weak and wobbly is
the 'watchful waiting policy. When
some bluejackets were arrested at
Vera Cruz by Mexican authorities and
detained for a couple OF hours, the
Washington authorities demanded that
Mexico, or Huerta, who controlled
the government machinery at the City
of Mexico, salute the Stars and Stripes
Then followed the occupation of Vera
Cruz by a large American force, with
the incidental death Of a goodly num-
Der Of American sailors and marines,
and for the purpose OF making this de-
mand. But the salute was not forth
