Universal! military service in America
llcro will produce the necessary i'm
preston Of national strength to insure
peace. in the opinion Of Henry r. JOY,
president of the Lincoln Highway As
ISOLATION and Of the Packard Motor
c. Comrar-, who. has just returned
from study of Mexico in the army
transport by motor truck. "
Joy ~ an a-7orr preparedness
advocate and the only American civil
ian, except correspondents, to have
traversed the four hundred mile line
OF American troops engaged in the
Villa chase. Tie lived with the soldiers
during his observation trip and COW
cred by automobile the territory from
FL Puso, through Columbus. by Boca
Grande Espia Ascensione, Colonia Dub
Ian to Casas Grandes.
The American force now in Mexico,
according to Mr. JOY, is much too small
TO properly cover a territory so vast
and to maintain d line of communica-
ton over SO great distances, and he
foresees q more serious contingency
from this cause. ill.,.
eff the situation in Mexico assumes
a sraver aspect than at present" he
said, ut will come about from one
plain cause, namely. that we have sent
into Mexico a punitive expedition Of
just such force as to make the Next
can people feel that if this is the best
we can do in the way Of military
display they can easily give our army
d good trouncing. r-
THE size Of our army-notwithstand
ing the bravery Of it's Individual mem
bers-is an invitation to the Mcxcans
to fight us Mobile, seasoned and effec-
tive as our force is, impressiyely so
in proportion to its extent, it is not
sufficiently large to overawe the Next
cans, much less a formidable foreign
power.
Should general war in Mexico
develop, the extreme narrowness Of
vision of the National Congress evil
denced in the restricted expenditure al
lowed for army expansion and increased
equipment for all military and naval
purposes will cost US dearly, possibly
in. treasure and self-respect only, per-
haps in blood, or both Our lack Of
material equipment even for our very
limited army, in motor transport.

cry, aeroplanes artillery, ammunition.
field equipment-in all things which
make expeditions and effective military
action possible-is absolutely up to
Congress. k
Personally, wish some Of our
leading pacifsts who believe in mo
army or navy and in peace at any
price could have been slumbering
sweetly in Columbus on the morning
OF the Villa raid. should even like to
have had the privilege of selecting
some for that strenuous educational
hour. / am sure it would have given
them a new viewpoint.

Cites Lack of Preparedness.

Representative John r. Farr of Penn
Eylvania expressed the fear that if war
does occur with Mexico many Amerf-
can lives will be sacrificed because of
the lack of preparedness in this coun-
try.
We are not ready today to fight
Mexico he said. IF this war occurs
/ fear we will find out that our men
are being shot down because we are not
prepared.
We are not prepared to meet any
nation on earth today. If wars comes,
even though IL be ten years from this
getting ready I would vote for six
teen ships. We need them. Even If
we duplicated our present navy we
would not have enough. Some day
some country will want to fight US, the
millennium has not yet come"
Representative James A. Hamill of
New Jersey said: NO man knows
what duty he may be called upon TO
perform. but l have no doubt that the
men of today will sustain the tradi-
tions of the men who have gone be-
fore"
Labor questions. particularly from
the point of view of the plate printers
also were discussed at length. Repre-
sentative Hamill attacked the so-called
"Taylor system saying that such a
pIoye in spirit and body"
mo organization of men is greater or
stronger than the things for which il
stands. said Representative Carlin
This is particularly true of organized
labor.

1Somebody Has BIundered'
in Handling Mexico Situation.
UNPREPAREDNESS CITED
BY Representative FAIR
Other Speakers Voice Views at
Smoker and Supper of Plate
Printers Union.

One issue only exists between the
United states and Mexico-that OF
ssending more boys down there to get
out the boys who already are there"
In the opinion of Representative Jacob
Meeker of Missouri. Declaring that
"somebody has blundered' In handling
the Mexican situation, Representative
Meeker asserted that action should De
taken Immediately to prevent, so far
as possible. the further loss of life
from "wild-eyed Mexicans.'
Representative Meeker expressed his
opinion in an address delivered at
smoker and supper held by the Local
No. .. International Steel and Copper
plate Printers Union. at Elks Hall,
tast evening.
THE proposition tonight is whether
we are going to send some more boys
down there to get those whom we have
hlready sent he said. emphaticaliy-
PAS in the case of the Light Brigade,
psomebody has Numbered What We
want now is a rescue campaign tor me
men of our blood who are in Mexico
30 save them from wild-eyed men IN
Mexico.
Must Save All Possible.
I'VE may not call this war, and we may
Say that Mexico is not a nation. But
the fact remains that somebody or
dered our boys to go on and on across
the deserts and the mountains; some
have been massacred and others are
there tonight. 1t is up to us to see that
the lives of as many of those boys there
are preserved as it is possible to save.
Il hope that if the time ever again
arises when American lives are endan-
gered in any spot in the world that
every man in the United Sttaes Will rise
up to see that not life is lost.
Several other members of Congress
who also were speakers at the smoker
discussed the Mexican situation.
II had hoped that this country would
never see another war" said Represent
alive c. c. Carlin of Virginia. but un-
less the stars are telling us a story
that is not true we are at this mo-
ment facing the possibility of war.
Who will say that this country is not
willing to accept its responsibilities"
Mr.. Carlin spoke of the fine appear
apce made by the National Guard of
the District Of Columbia, and how as
he had passed through Camp Ordway
the night before he had heard the
sounds of Yankee Doodle mixing
with the strains of Dixie" an indi-
cation of nation united. These boys
are ready to go to death IL it be
necessary TO teach a lesson to these
greasers who have been attempting to
destroy our homes IN other sections of
our country"
