Wilson's course vitalized civil
war in Mexico and border war
with us. The vacIllating and
irresolute policy of the present ad-
miniStration has brought humili-
alton upon this country, both at
home and abroad.
We have been at war; we are
now at war; many lives have been
lost; our honor has been beSmirCh-
ed, and yet the Democratic Party
cries to the nation He kept us out
Of war, He has protected meand
mine" The fact is that he has
neglected our greatest treasures
the lives Of our citizens and the
honor Of our country.
1t is the world war in Europe,
not the acts Of the Wilson admins
tration which has kept us out of
international complications that
would have Sorely tried our cour-
age and our strength.
Just prior to the outbreak

the IiUeS and UaSt property of
European citizens in Mexico,
to declare that these Euro

did not.
What would that have meant?
1t would have meant that we must
adopt determined policy to en-
force order in Mexico, which was
the only duty consistent with the
stewardship which we assumed under the
Monroe Doctrine; or it would have meant

GLE KEPT us out of war" is
L 4 offered by the Demo
cratic Party as a statement Of a
supreme accomplishment. / hat
slogan is false. To accept It with
out thought or reason is danger
Gus to the life of the nation.
For months we have been con-
Quoting a border war with Mex
ice. At Vera Cruz we demand
ed that our flag be saluted. The
demand was refused. We landed
troops; a battle followed. We
withdrew lUitIlOut the salute,
bringing nineteen of our dead
with us and leaving our honor
behind; and to this day the
salute demanded has not been
fired.
The weakness of Mexico, not
the strength of the United States
is all that has prevented our act
of war from being turned into
the serious fact of war.
If the slaughter of American
CitiZens-men, women and chill
dren-by armed troops, if the
killing of American soldiers by
the soldiers of another ma
ton, if the sacking of our towns
is not war. what is it?
The Judge Advocate General
of our army says it is war. The
MeXicans say it is war. Wilson's
acts show it is war, but Wilson's
UOice says it is peace.
The Truth is that it is more
than war. It is war without
honor and murder without rep
aratiOn. IT is a condition that
makes every true citizen
ashamed of the spectacle We
haze become in the eyes of
other nations.

DEMAND FOR PORK BLOCKS
PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM


Washington, Jan. 10.-The demand
for pork is obstructing the prepared
ness legislation in Congress. Chair
man Stephen M. Sparkman of the
Rivers and Harbors~ Committee is
framing another river and harbor
pork bill-this time one of still great
er dimensions. 1t is to be for $46,-
100000, he says, and he anticipates
that it will go through the House
even if the plans for enlarged army
and navy fail.
The last Congress, in spite of
efforts at economy, appropriated a
lump sum of $3O,OO0,0OO for rivers
and harbors pork, and in addition in
serted in the sundry civil bills $27,-
100000 more. Most of this was ad-
mittedly wasted on southern projects
of no present or prospective value.

COMMERCE. RECORDS
 SET BY AMERICA
Despite Obstacles, Our Export
 Shipping Hit New Heights

Washington, Aug. 2.-Merchant shipping cleared from ports of the United States in the year ending June 30 set a new record, notwithstand- ing the allied blockade, the closing of the Black Sea and the withdrawal of German and Austria merchant ships from trade. Bureau of navigation reports made public today show the tonnage cleared was 25,5O0,OOO, of which 2,500,0OO originated in the United States and 23,OOO,0O0 was for eign. The previous high water mark was 24,s0o,oo tons cleared in the year ending June 30, 1914.
 Comparing the two years American shipping tripled and European clear ances decreased. The American ton- mage to South America was 95O,OO0, nearly five times greater, and to Europe 100000, two and a half times greater. Total clearances to France and Italy almost doubled; clearances to Norway, Denmark and
 sweden more than doubled, and to Greece increased three fold.
 The increase in c1earances of American shipping to South American countries is most notable for Argen- tina.
