Pny;np the Kills.

Some day a limit will be reached
to the amazing patience OF the
American people toward Mexican an
archy and the long laundering weak
ness Of Mr.. Wilson's administration.
Mobilization Of the national guard
and the futile chase after Villa have
already cost this nation more than
500 100000. That is. we have
wasted $1O0,000,00O in a fruitless
effort to accomplish the very task
that Huerta was performing when we
drove him out of Mexico and de-
stroyed his responsible government.
Huerta was chasing Villa and his
heart was in the work. He was bear
ing all the expense of the undertake
ing, and at the same time protecting
American lives and interests.
Mr.. Wilson'S Intervention saved
Villa and destroyed Huerta, and now
the American people foot the bills and
have nothing to show for the outlay.

After the War. LOOK Out!

A
Edward n. Hurley, chairman of the
federal trade commission, has warned
i;American manufacturers that Europe
4 is going to be keen competitor after
4 the war. Germany, he says. will come
out of the war more efficient than ever,
while England has made thirty years
of industrial progress in ae many
months.
This will be surprising Information
: to those Americans who can see moth
ing in war but its destructive side
/ Whether it is a comforting reflection
I or not, war has its constructive side,
Ia1so, it is one of the worlds growing
pains, and the history of the past easily
j confirms present predictions that the
war-rtdden countries of Europe will
emerge from the conflict fully abreast
of the neutral world in everything ex-
2 cept ready cash. They have taken a
course in efficiency and scientific man
Hagement that beats anything our most
\ advanced technical institutions of
learning can supply.
Americans should keep this truth in
mind when they contemplate the allur-
ing pictures of trade opportunities that
will open to this country when peace
comes. The huge scientifically organ

England has found itself in this
war as ship finds itself in a tempes-
Il tuous voyage. 1t has been settled and
shaken together, organized, drilled to
its tasks and spurred to new standards
of accomplishment and efficiency until
1t is better able today, in the midst of
"a war that has withdrawn millions of
workers from productive labor, to meet
all industrial demands than it was in

The letter was signed by R. w.

the name of the advertiser is not pub

when we got no answers to our

ADVERTISER PLACES A KICK ON
THE WAY THE TRIBUNE
HANDLES ITS ADS

Be careful what you write In let
tiers you send in care of the Chicago
Daily Tribune in answer toadvertise-
ments which appear in the TribHne's
classified columns. Don't write any
thing you might not want the Trib-
une to know.
The newspaper which styles itself
1.-THE Worlds Greatest" and which
tried to embroil the United States
because Johnny Bull has censored
the mails between America and
Europe, seems to be peeking into let
tiers intended as private and censor
ing mails itself.
Letters a real estate dealer sent in
care Of the Tribune to advertisers
never reached them. No replies
were received to many answers to
ads, in which terms were purposely
made so alluring that it was scarcely
likely anyone would miss looking into
them. In one instance a firm, grow
ing suspicious, mailed letter
through the Tribune in answer to
one of it's own blind ads, and never
got the letter.
Schneider & Co., real estate deal
ers of ALTO Lincoln av., had a peculiar
experience with the Tribune's cen
sorship. In answer to a blind ad in
the Trib it wrote and asked for
more complete description of the
apartment building advertised for
sale, as it had a client who wished to
purchase just such building as the
one advertised appeared to be.
The Tribune, it appears, refused to
deliver Schneider & Co.'S letter to
the advertiser. The Trib wrote to
Schneider & Co., saying it considered
the Schneider letter a circular
which Schneider denies-and declar-
ed letters in answer to such ads must
make a specific offer and said be-
sides:
