Corssz First To Import Trouble Into Mszieo;
Introduced CIVILIZED System OF Causing Death


TORTEZ was the first man TO i'm
port trouble into Mexico. He in
troduced the civilized system Of
producing sudden death there almost
zoe years ago. and his teachings have
been faithfully carried out ever since
with very brief vacations.
Cortez was a Spaniard. born in 1885,
and before he was 25 he had helped
Valazquez conquer Cuba and become a
past master in plain and fancy killing.
Learning that there was a continent TO
the west which was still in heather
darkness he got up an expedition Of
coo soldiers in 1913 and sailed TO Mex
leo.
At this time Mexico was a vast mon
archy. filled with gigantic works Of
architecture, teeming with subjects and
incOnceivably rich in gold The simple
indians had attained a high degree OF
civilization with two exceptions. They
burned victims instead of heretics on
their affairs and they had not discov-
cred gunpOWder. The latter omission
was fatal The soldiers of Cortez were
full armored cruisers in steel vests and
helmets, armed with guns which shot
1000 yards ahead and kicked 10 feet
behind, moreover Cortez had horses,
which were as strange to the Mexicans

he looked at the branch, which was

she started flying down to have a

gentleman, when, all of a sudden, jim
mic CaW-CaW began to laugh Then he
flew at his Aunt Flippity, as I some
times call her for short. and the next
moment he began picking all the hair
pins out Of her head feathers.
"Oh, Jimmiet Stop it, Stop it,

just had my hair nicely curled so I
could dance with Uncle Wiggily, and

laughing. Whenever I see hairpins in

ONE quality of national character, Italy leads the
world. It is absence Of hypocrisy in national as
pirations and international dealings. In spite Of
the apparent sOrdidness of Itays whole since
this war began Italy must least be given credit for
never having concealed the for her course and
for having sought to set up false pretensons Of

his opponents. The rest Of the world has learned
MacchiaveIls lessons all too well But It rests with
Italy now, in this year of chaos, bitterness and fraud
TO set standard Of frank and open dealing that all
tons might well Notwithstanding The world
may not approve Of Ialy's IN this war, It may
not wish her IN her endeavoT but It must at least
respect her honesty In setting her before the world
