Two futile invasions of Mexico and
six separate and distinct policies on
the question of permitting arms and
ammunition to be sent into that coun-
try are included in the performance of
the Wilson administration in it's deal
ings with our southern neighbors in
less than three years. 1t is this char
acteristic instability of the govern
ment that makes people want a
change.

Just as it is now obstinately shut
ting it's eyes to the need of indus
trial preparedness, for three years the
Wilson administration refused to see
the need of adequate military pre-
paredness. With war on our southern
border it was content to rely on
regular army that could only muster
10000 available men and refused to
continue the established policy OF
building up our navy. When the time
came for action, the country had not
sufficient troops to police the border
and this force has been supplemented
by a trife more than one third the
war strength of the national guard. If
the national administration had had
the ability to interpret the signs or
the time military preparedness would
have been we'll under way instead OF
barely begun.

fact that Woodrow Wilson, the Demo

court says:
"A person upon whom an assault is
made so violent In its character as to
endanger his life or threatens him with
serious bodily harm Is not justified or
excusable In standing his ground and
killing his assailant If he can avoid the
impending danger by retreating."
The case was that of NunZio di Maria

The charge of the trial court to the
jury regarding the law of self defense
was the only ground for reversal of the
conviction. The instruction objected to
was that the defendant had a right to
save his own life.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, June Especial: Lat
est reports received by the British
admiralty are declared to show that
the German losses in the Jutland
naval battle comprised two battle
cruisers; one, at least, and probably
two battleships, four lights cruisers.
eight destroyers and a submarine.
British officers identify the two
b~attleships as the ~Hindehburg and
the Lutzow, both of the latest type.
What apparently is the expected
Russian offensive on the eastern
front, calculated to relieve the pres
sure on the Italians and French, has
begun along the line from Pripet
marshes to the Roumanian border.
There is virtually no let up in the
German effort to push back the
French lines on the Verdun front
northeast of the fortress. The crown
princes troops returned to the attack
last night, driving against the
French between the fort and the viii
fage of Damloup. They were unsue-
cessful. Paris declares.
The Turkish war office claims fur
Their against the Russian
army operating west of Erzerum.
The Russians, who recently were
compelled to eyacuate Mamakhatum,
fifty miles west of Erzerum. have
been forced to retreat some twenty
five miles altogether, according to
Constantinople, sustaining large
losses.
The battle cruiser Seydiltz was
one of the German vessels which suf-
fered heavily in the Jutland engage
ment, according to reports received
in Denmark.
These allege that the Seydiltz, a
dreadnaught cruiser of $4,000 tons,
was seen on the morning after the
battle steaming south off the Jutland
coast. in a badly damaged condition
and pursued by warships.
An Edinburgh dispatch says that
survivors of British destroyers en-
gagged in the Jutland fight declare
they are convinced that in a massed
attack of torpedo craft they sent the
German dreadnaught Hindenburg to
the bottom.
A list issued by the British ad-
miralty shows that 1888 British Off
GERS were lost in the naval battle.
