under him full thirty years of ces-
sation from strife. while the arts Of
peace flourished. and the country was
in a fair way TO become one of the
powers. 1t is on this record that the
claim TO greatness Of Porfirio Diaz
rests.
But when we look upon Mexico to-
day, when we review the events of
Mexican history OF the past few years.
the failure of Diaz is so plainly writ
ten on the face of il all. as 10 make one
wonder why did his greatness shrivel.
Was il the old story of ambition that
over-leapt itself? Was he mislead in
his old age? Did he suffer himself to be
swayed by the greedy and ambitious
ones who fawned upon him. and indu-
ced him to give the richest gifts of his
land into the hands of a few grasping
ones, without full realization Of the
wrong that he was doing to the people
whose guiding star he should have
been. and TO the land which had made
him great?
Diaz had a wonderful power. He
controlled the turbulent elements that
make up the population Of Mexico with
an iron hand. His success was marvel
Gus, almost miraculous. But the crum-
bling of his power. the sad state in
which his country was left by him.
reverting TO its old state of internal
war and apparently interminable re-
volution, has Shorn his name of much
Of the glory that should have been his.
Had he but turned 10 the profit of his
people those rich Of Mexico
which were farmed out with SO lavish
a hand by his government to selfish
eXplOiters. both of his own and Of other
countries. he might have perpetuated
a stable form OF government. He might
have made his people happy and con
tented. He might have prevented the
new revolutions, which were bound
10 come IN Il land where the masses are
held IN subsection. He might have re-
tired from the presidency. leaving the
relnS of government IN the hands Of
Just and patriotic men, and have spent
his last days honored and beloved by
the people whose president he was for
more than Il quarter of a century. In
stead of dying III exile. a pitiful picture
OF departed greatness, unhappy, I'M
loved by his people. he would have pas
sed away IN the midst Of the scenes Of
his greatness. surrounded by a CRATE
ful and admiring people. His body
would be lying in state today in the
palace Of Chapultepec. while the flags
of the nation draped in mourning would
hang at half-ma,t in honor of his me
mory.

with swords and pitchforks. We sue

about 800 or 400 men. That was about

All accounts of European fighting
show the necessity of fire control. 1t
seems fairly established that at Neuve
Chapelle the assaultinE English line
suffered many casualties from their
own gun fire. squirting from thou
sand hose. and perhaps demoralizing
their line and preventing its full ad-
vance. 1t may easily be that under
their system mot SO different from our
own, their artillerists had been trained
only in armories and not in actual
field work. They, eight months after
hostifties began. at least had guns
enough But while gun can be con-
structed in four months time, it takes
longer than that to train the can
noneers.
This method of artillery control of
zone was developed by the Japanese
and was first employed on a grand
scale at Mukden, where, it is said, their
artillery fire injured many of their
men. The nations foremost in the use
of artillery have their artillerists so
trained that where they are engaged
one hears of few such catastrophes.
With the exception of military rifles
and cavalry sabers, there is not a suf-
ficient equipment for the tentative
number of $4,000 men of the twelve
divisions in ammunition or munition
OF the theoretical 1850 cavalry re-
quired 4,94O are enrolled, and for them
$50 horses are available for drill and
instruction.
Should the divisions be assembled for
actual service, there is shortage OF
nearly 5000 wagons for transportation.
and there are.of course, no draft ami
mails ready But, although they would be
Indispensable to a prompt mobilization,
they can be obtained, and where so
much else is needed the expense of
keeping on hand a sufficient supply is
prohibitive.
