The demands of the war situation
are hitting almost everybody alike.
Many articles of human connsump-
ton are increasing in price; in
fact, the things we need most seem
to be the first boosted. This is but
an exemplification of the law of sup
ply and demand. Those who handle
needed products in large quantities

take more for their goods if the 9TH

what Europe is willing to give or go
without. The supply is not equal

price.

MEXICO's CONTINUOUS OFFENsE

For a few years past the condi
ton of Mexico has been so unsettled
as to raise the question on boil
sides of the Atlantic whether the
time has not come when some for
eign power ought, in the general
interest of society, to intervene, tc
establish protectorate or some
other form of government in that
country and guarantee its contin-
uance there.
you will not fail to assure the
Government of Mexico that the
President neither has, nor can ever
have, any sympathy with such de-
signs, in whatever quarter they may
arise or whatever character they
NAV take on.
THE President never for a mo-
ment doubts that the republican sys-
tenn is to pass safely through all or
deals and prove a permanent success
in our own country, and so to be
recommended to adoption by all 9TH
er nations.
But he thinks also that the sys-
tenn everywhere has to make it's way
painfully through difficulties and
embarrassments which result from
the action of antagonistical elements
which are a legacy of former times !,
and very different institutions.
The President is hopeful of the /
ultimate triumph of this system over
all obstacles, as well in regard to
Mexico as in regard to every other
American State; but he feels that
hose States are nevertheless justly
entitled to a greater forbearance and
more generous sympathies from the
Government and people of the Unit
I'd States than they are likely to
receive in any other quarter.
"The President trusts that your I

nents, will reassure the Government

For example, the defense of small
nationalities was one of the main
causes bringing England into the war,
in defense of Belgium. whereas Belgium
and Serbia did not enter for that rea-
son. but because their territory was
invaded. Similar differences in the
conditions exists as regards france

while all the replies will agree on the
essential particulars of reparation and

Surprise at the fast-growing signin-
canoe of the Presidents move was ex-
pressed on all sides, where ii was
pointed out that at first the opinion
prevailed that the note itself was
merely a "feeler'' and that the object
most Immediately contemplated in is
suing it was the receipt of some sort
of definition from the various warning
nations. That the President should
let it be known indirectly to the diplo-
mats. for their guidance. that he went
even farther than that and counted on
an absolutely frank reply from the bel
ligerents which would lead to an actual
opportunity for negotiations. proved only
less surprising than the actual note
itself.
This feeling was increased by Secre-
tary Lansing's authorized statement
yesterday that no soundings had been
taken of the attitude of the beiligerents
addressed and that the note had been
sent entirely regardless of the central
powers proposal or of the reply of
LloydGeorge.
The question very much to the fore
today was whether the European neu-
trails would present a united appeal.
