NATURAL Fruit OF
NATGHFUL Waiting.
United States Invaded And
Army Is Found Unpre-
pared.

WASHINGTON. March 16.-Presi-
dent Wilson's "watchful waiting" has
at last borne fruit. For the first time
In nearly a hundred years foreign
enemy has had the impunity to in
wade the United States, murder Its cit
liens and shoot its soldiers. This is
what occurred at Columbus, New Mex
leo, when Villa and his followers in
vaded that town. And this Is the
fruit OF Mr.. Wilson'S "watchful wait
ing" the result which has been fore
told by everyone familiar with Next
can conditions and the shiftless, incon-
sistent and obstinate policy Of this
administration. It is just what some,
at least, of Mr.. Wilson'S own advisers,
including Secretary Garrison, have re-
peatedly warned him would happen.
Villa, firmly convinced that President
Wilson was "too proud to fight" and
that the American people were too
cowardly to avenge the most fragrant
outrages on their own citizens, and
counting on the lack of preparedness
which this administration has so as
siduously fostered, actually invaded
American territory and took American
lives. That Villa counted correctly on
the unprepared. condition of the army
Is abundantly proved by his escape
and the length ot-time it Is requiring
to organize force sufficient to follow
him. Meanwhile every hours delay is
making the situation more serious, is
increasing the danger of -war-a gem
era1 intervention. The ablest officers
in the army have long urged upon the
President, through Secretary Garrison,
the importance of keeping the army

Killed With American Rifes

killed at Columbus were shot with Am

Gillette, U. S. A., retired. "The guns
and bullets used by. Villas men to kill
Americans in Columbus were furnish

"The responsibility for the latest

rests squarely on the shoulders OF
President Wilson. Had he not deliber.
ately wrecked the Huerta government
peace would have followed within
three months after Mr.. Wilson took

Further advices from Indiana afford
evidence OF a tremendous return OF
erstwhile Progressives to the Republt-
can party. Secretary Henley, Of the
State Central committee, points out
that in every instance the largest Re-
publican gains were made in what had
been Progressive strongholds. The
Republicans made their greatest gain
in Wayne county" says Mr.. Henley.
Wayne was rated the banner Progress
sive county in the country. In 1914
its Republican vote for Secretary Of
State was only 3,075, but in the recent
primaries the Republicans OF that
county cast 4, 702 votes.''

BRITISH CASUALTIES

LONDON, Sept 30.-British losses in
September were &C the rate Of more
than $500 day. The casualties on
all fronts reported in this month were:
officers, $3.50; men, HALO.
Heavy as were the British losses in
September they we're lighter than those
OF August. which were l27.9i5, daily
average Of 4.127. In July. the first
month OF the Somme offensive, the
losses were about half those OF August
or September Notwithstanding the fact
that IN July the British stormed the
first line German defenses. The cas-.
ualties In that month were 6O,675, so
that the total for the three months OF
the Somme drive is 307 1859
French and English press dispatches
report that considering the character
Of the ilghting the losses of the Allies
ON the Somme are low. An official
British statement Of Thursday said the
British losses In the preceding few
days Ind been small, not only relative-
ly to the Importance Of the gain, but
absolutely.
This is attributed largely TO the in
creased effectiveness of the artillery.
German reports dwelt on the large
losses with which, II is said. the Allies

of all proportions to the ground gain
