WHY SALUTE WAS DEMANDED
II will state the circumstances: On
the ninth of April, 1914. boats crew
from the Dolphin landed at wharf in
Tampico to take off supplies. The use of
Mexican officer in charge Of the
wharf put the crew under arrest, but
higher officer ordered him to hold
the boats crew at the wharf and
await instructions. Within an hour
and half the crew was set free. No
injury or indignity was suffered ex-
cept the fact Of the arrest. Immediate
amends were made. The Mexican Of
ficer in command at Tampico apollo
gized; General Huerta's government
apologized: the omcer who made the
arrest was himself arrested and his
punishment promised. The admiral
in command Of our fleet at Tampico
demanded more public amends
through a salute to our flag. but there
ensued discussion as to the facts
and as to the character Of the salute
which the circumstances demanded,
the number of guns. and how. If at all,
the salue was to be returned.
"WhiIe that discussion was
pending and avowedIy because Of
that incident the American gov
ernment presented a 24.hour ulti-
matum and landed an armed force
and captured the City Of Vera
Cruz. Three hundred Mexieans
were reported killed; II United
States Marines were killed and
many were wounded. At that
very time Mr.. Bryan, with the
Presidents annroval. was Stamina

U. S. STAND WEAKENS

1.-THE later correspondence has
been conducted by our State De-
partment with dignity, but it has
BEEN futile. An admission Of liza
bility for damages has been &C.
cured, but the time for real protee-
ton to American rights has long
since passed. Our government un-
dertook one year ago to prevent
the destruction Of American life by
submarine attack, and now that the
attempt has failed and our citizens
are long since dead and the sys-
tom Of attack has fallen Of its own
weight, there is small advantage in
discussing whether we shall or
shall not have an admission that it
was unlawful to kill them.
INTENDED FOR EFFECT IN Y. s.
1.-The brave words with which we be.
yan the controversy had produced no eff.
ect because they were read in the light
If two extraordinary events. One wat

Mr.. Dumba, to his government that wner

he asked the secretary of state
Mr.. Bryan, whether it meant business

him that it did not. but was intended FOL

"Too PROUD TO FIGHT"
1.-THE other event was the strange ant

treaties with half the world agree
ing that If any controversy should
arise Il should be submitted to a
joint commission and no action
should be taken until after a full
year had eiapsed.

"But the warning voices would
not be stiIled. The opinion that we
ought no longer to remain defense
less became public opinion. Its ex-
preston grew more general and VA
sistent, and finally the President,
not leading, but following, has
shifted his ground, has reversed his
position, and asks the country to
prepare against war. God grant
that he be not too late.

yet the government of the
United States ignored, condoned,
the murder of American men and
the rape Of American women and
destruction Of American property
and insult to American officers and
defilement of the American flag
and joined itself to the men who
were guilty Of all these things to
pull down the power Of Huersa.
