MEMORIAL SERVICE

The annual memorial services of
Gate City Camp No. is. woodmen OF
the Word. was held at the First Bap-
tist church Sunday evening and was
largely attended by the memters of
the order and their friends The music
was OF special character and was
an enjoyable accompaniment OF the
splendid discourse given by Rev. c.
T. Ilsley. who had been invited to
deliver the memorial sermon.
Rev. Ilsley had selected as his text
the sixteenth We. sc OF the twenty
first chapter of Reve' alton; And The
City Lieth Four Square" Upon this
was predicated his address, which
was pronounced this morning by a
member OF the camp. who was pres
ent at Sunday evenings service, as
the most eloquent and inspiring he
had ever listened to on a similar oc-
casion. After expressing his appre-
citation OF the honor OF being invited
by the woodmen to taik to them at
such time he said that the city four
square stands for the embodiment of
the great principles of Christianity
and represents the Ideal and triumph

Of humanity.

pleasant. One by one our merchants

TROOPS IN MEXICO MAKE
POLITICAL SITUATION FOR
PRESIDENTS or TWO REPUBLICS

Gen. Carranza Of Ne:ioo continues
to urge the government at Washing
ton to move the troops OFT of his coun-
try, and the news of the last two
days indicate that he is becoming
more persistent and insistant in the
matter than ever tesore-
The politics of the situa ton is en-
barrasing the the heads of two ma
tions. al
President Wilson cannot move the
troops out very gracefully. He has a
bear by the tail and can't let go.
The troops went into get Villa.
They have not gotten Villa and you
may safely take every bet posted at
100 to l that they will never get him.
They can whip him and his band in
a fight but as for hunting him out
in his mountain haunts of his native
land and capturing him, that is quite
Ia difficult matter.
A great section of the country and
many people all over this great land
of ours are vitality interested in this
Mexican situation. Many people
want a sterner policy adopted than
the mere chasing Of the single bandit,
Villa.
Many remember that the president
sent the army under Gen. Funston
into Mexico once efore, and it came
out again without having accomplish
ed any results. That was about two
years ago when he tried to make
Hue Ia salute the flag. Huerta not
only remained obstinate about salut-
ing the flag and never did salute it
but at his own sweet will came
across into the United States and liy-
ed among us more or less happily to
the end of his days.
And now for our prond government
to back out of Mexico SO soon again
without showing any results and on
no better reason than the threat of
carranza of expulsion would be humi-
liat,ng indeed.
The troops may be doing no good
in Mexico-no more good than get
ting some mighty valuable and much
needed practice in field operations
but they cannot be brought out now,
on account OF the political effect.
Down in Mexico the first Chief of
the land-at this writing, Gen. Car
ranza-is confronted with a political
situation of his own.

worse than a German hates an Eng

we may fear or hate the Canadians.

Hans Garbus, a German farmer OF
Iowa, has discovered that the bene-
fits which appear on the surface as
attaching to the mail-order plan some
times spell disaster and has written
very interesting story of his views
in q certain firm paper. Here is a
part of his story:

do fear and hate, Americans. All of
the petty Office holders, all of the
politicians. all of the army, all of
the revolntionists of every breed,
and many Mexicans who wear civilized
clothes and aspire TO government
positions belong to this class.
The governing elements of all
cl sses in Mexico, hate and fear the
United States.
This is not a new situation. 1t has
always been SO since Mexico became
and independent country. Sixty and
sevety years ago the best way to de-
feat a candidate for the presidency
or to organize a successful revolution
against a dictator was to circulate a
pamphlet charging that individual
with being friendly to the Gringoes.
If Carranza would sit idly by and
to invade Mexican territory unpro-
tested he could not hold his Job
ninety days
So Carranza protests.
Whatever may be Carranza's own
notion of the matter the political
situation at the capital and over the
country demands that he protest.
Tho it is strongly suspicioned in many
circles that Carranza is himself a
very petty politician and in full
sympathy with the other petty poll
ticians of his country.
Our peaceful relationship with
Mexico may depend more or less on
how long Carranza can get by at home
by merely protesting-by merely
writing stiff notes to Washington.
. Sooner or later, If he cannot bully
rag Washington into Withdrawing the
, troops he may have to tight them or
have to defend himself against a
new revolution at home.
The petty politicians are kicking
up a great stink over American occu-
patton of Mexican territory. National
sovereignty is at stake. mey say.
| Villa sympathizers and hers have
poisoned the minds Of many with the
charge that Carranza is plotting to
sen tne noFln emu OF MEXICO 10 Ine
United States for funds with which
to help support his lettering govern
ment.
/ The Republic of Mexico may be in
very bad way but the politicians and
the Office holding classes clearly do
not want any interference nr help
from outside. least of all. from the
United States
Gen. Carranza has political fences
of his own which must be carefully
watched.
So those few American troors peace
fully camped on Mexican sands are
making quite an embarrassing situa-
ton for the presidents of two re-
publics. G. U. H.
