Government into such position that II

think the United States ought to modify
it's position taken in the last note to
Germany. | don't believe that Con-

what has been done. II Is now natural
for the President to wish to save his

Ministers who preached or were inter-
viewed yesterday regarding the inter-
national situation are not for peace at
any price. Several OF them said that
the time for talking has passed and the
time for action has arrived. Bishop
Caller of Tennessee said that Col. Roose-
velt's sentiments are his, and others
spoke in the same vein.
Three criticised President Wilson
two Of them for not acting. one, a Ger
man. for going too far. Others said
that all Americans should now uphold
the Presidents hands.
Bishop Gailor. who preached yester-
day at Grace Church. Broadway and
Tenth street. said In an interview:
Put me down by the side of Col.
Roosevelt. His sentiments concerning
the European war are my sentiments,
Our whole attitude as a nation. ever
since Europe began to fight, has been
altogether too negative. We have been
so much concerned about our neutral
position that we have gone clean over
to the German side against the Allies.
1--WE sent to Germany several grovel-
ling notes, which the Germans laughed
at. They didn't take them with suf-
ficient seriousness to reply directly tC
them.

Wilson'S Position.

II suppose l ought not TO CTltlClSe
President Wilson. He does the best he
can. There are so many currents. so
many races. that maybe we have no
national consciousness. A President
who would follow public opinion when
there is so much opinion as with us
perhaps can do no better
II was never less proud than now OF
being an American said the Rev. :. u.
Mcconnell, once rector OF Holy Trinity
Church, Brooklyn. in an interview given
before his sermon at st. Bartholomew
Church yesterday.
'Our national Administration" he
continued, seems not to have felt for a
single moment during the past year that
IL was sure of the difference between
right and wrong. II has SO carefully
maintained our neutrality rs not to be
able to see the difference between Ger
many and England. We appear in the
ewes OF the world utterly Indifferent to
our obligations, and to have no sym
pathy beyond ourselves. We ask merely
10 be allowed to remain in a condition
called peace and that our S"clhshness he
net interfercd with.
The time for talking has ceased.
The time for action has arrived. II Is
the business OF our Government to ma
out what that action is to be ana what
il should be and not supinely wait until
pushed to action by an indignant
people"

Chihuahuita is underaid with sand; the water table
is shallow to interfere with direct drainage

means of permanent open pits, or by a system Of tile
drains dischrargng into large shallow wells the latter
plan admits Of covering the drainage pits wells.

way, by digging crude open pits alongside-the standing

trades; ~ Education Of young children in the ordinary
English school branches; ~ Special provision for
technical training Of older children and youth in the
day schools "a Night schools for the employed and
for those beyond ordinary school age
Two propositions The Herald purposes to keep alive
before the people especially in this connection: First
that It will pay Us to educate all who apply whether
they be permanent residents taxpayers OF not;
Second that nothing less than the complete plant
and comprehensive system for educational training in
Chihuahuita should be aim

ings Is by far the most important Of all
Any solution of the Chihuahuita problem must take
the form Of service, but if the common humanitarian
consideration fails to interest any citizen, the purely
material consideration of self interest does not admit
of any denial or evasion Flatly, It viii pay every
El Pasoan to take hand in helping to solve the
Chihuahuita problem-Pay him in dollars and cents as
well in comfort, health, and safety.
What is the Chihuahuita problem? In a sentence,
it is the problem of how to utilize to best advantage
the human forces of 10000 Spanish speaking persons
resident IN this city It would be worth much to US
city, to develop these 10000 to the limit Of their
capacity, to add 10000 population. As things
now, neglect of the tremendous human forces
latent in Chihuahua is as uneconomic to allow
vast and enormously costly mechanical plant to 60
ruin for lack Of and use.
If, by better education and for their welfare
could the productive power of the workers
among Spanish speaking population by 81 per
day each we should add 100000 a year to the
wealth-pTOducing capacity of the city, and that Is
equal to percent interest S50Oo0o0O, which would
thus be added to the capitalized value Of the city
would repay richly If should invest 81 100000
with view to bringing this about.
The problem has many divisions. Just shall
discuss only three Housing drainage, and education.
Housing includes, however, the general problem of

nicipal sanitation The Herald suggests IN this con
nection:
