WHAT HE DIDN'T DO

g. The only answer Of the supporters OF
President Wilson's Mexican policy Is
question, what would you have had the
president do that he has not done? 1t
is. so far as We have seen. the best de-
Tense they can put up, which. OF
course, is mo defense at all. 1t is
fsome things that President Wilson has
done that are Objectionable. but most
sIy the things that he has not done that
are complained of. Notably is the occas-
ion when he was in Mexico and neglect
ed to make the most OF his opportuni-
ties then OF securing peace. In his
message to Congress on the Tamplco
incident he asked approval OF any step
he might take against the individual
Huerta for his refusal to salute the nag
without an understanding in advance
that the salute would be returned.
There was no concern, either en-
pressed or: implied, about the peril or
American citizens in that country.
All the expedition ever accomplished
was to withhold customs from Huerta.
thus forcing Huerta's retirement Our
forces were Withdrawn after the clash

KEEPING THE VOLUNTEER SOLVENT
Practical Solutions the Grave Problem of Maintaining the

past; and now, in this most ur.
gent feature of preparedness, all

and generosity OF their people as
their sole recourse.
Philadelphia met the emergency
with call for the organization OF
a committee the purpose OF when

sponsibility for the care or de-
pcndents Of suardsmen and sub
Sequent volunteers. The Cltl-
zens Soldiers Aid Committee
holds. as its first tenet OF faith,
that il exists to provide patriotic
aid 10 the patriots at the front.
and not charity. Public ack-
nowlrdgmcnt has been made OF
the obvious impossibility of cor.
poralions. firms and individual
employers maintaining the .faml'

vorkpe0ple who may enlist. Yet.

designed TO bring in large lump

AT the same time, the officers
Of the Pennsylvania National
Guard, in the midst Of the harass-
ing duties incident 10 the hasty
progress 10 the border, have ar
ranged TO procure and forward
systemati2ed statements from
every man in their commands
which shall identify all in the
community who are entitled 70

promises in itself 10 afford the
most valuable factor in the eco

MRS. HETTY GREEN

With the death Of Mrs. Hetty Green
there has passed one Of the most &C.
centric characters Of the present gen
Grafton. She has long been credited
as the wealthiest woman of the world.
She was also noted for doing every
thing in her power to conceal her
wealth. She lived life Of seciusion, a
hermit's existence. While she was
woman of many sturdy virtues, she
was not an attractive character by
the worlds measurement. She was
a great hoarder OF money but at the
same time a financier, who always
held her own in contest of wits in
in the financial world. Her invest
ments were Of immense proportions.
II she gave any money away it was
never known. She was never identl-
fled with any public or private charity.
She was cold and hard in all her deal
ings. She had a perfect horror Of pay-
ing taxes, and to escape just assess
ments on her vast wealth she became
nomad, changing from one locality
to another to escape the tax inquisi-
tor. She was strictly honest in her
business transactions, but could hardly
be counted desirable citizen in shirk-
ing her share of the public burden.
She was the antithesis Of the prod
igal spirit, but her frugality was car!
ried to such unnecessary extremes
that she set parsimonious rather than
a healthy provident example. Yet
withal, she was wonderful woman,
of exceptional intelligence. II she en-.
joyed life she kept her enjoyment TO
herself. II she had any human affec'
tics they were discreetly concealed by
an unconditional heart. Perhaps the
public estimate Of her has been harsh
er than she deserved; but for that she
herself was to blame.
