CALLING BACK THE GUARD.

Indications are that the guardsmen
will be withdrawn from the border and
sent home very soon. General Per-
shirg it is said favors their with
drawal.
Aside from an experience for the
guardsren the mobilization of the
troops on the border has not accom-
plished anything definite. Conditions
are quieter there of course but that
there has been any change except
lull in the activities Of the Mexican
ally the border was reasonably safe
while guarded by United States SOL
diers anxious to shoot and impatient
of inacton. The question is whether
it will not all have to be done over
and repeated.
We do not come out OF Mexico with
prestige. The average Mexican will
look on the withdrawal as a victory.
Mexican troops won the only real en-
gagemenl Of the irregular war. Villa
is at large and influential in Mexico.
Carranza is still fsurehead. The ex-
that had been promised So far as the
Mexican people and the Mexican lead
ers are concerned the impression re-
mains with them that they have out
fought and ut-fgured the Americans.
AS regards conditions within Mexico
little or nothing has been changed.
Mexico is still a rioa and a dangerous
neighbor.
The United States once went into
Cuba, not as an enemy of the Cuban

the epidemics of yellow fever that pc
riodically had ravaged our southern
states. The big brother act between the
United States and Cuba was the best
and only good thing that had ever been
done for that people. A recent visitor
to Havana during a week or ten days

not see more than half dozen flies;

DEALING WITH Japan AND CHINA.

The japanese situation" is up again
in the demands upon China by Japan.
Those demands involve the United
States in a way because they seem to
look forward to Japanese domination
Of China and have the appearance of
the first step in the subjecting of the
Chinese to the Japs. The open door,
toward which American interests have
had their eyes turned, seems to be
slowly closing.
1t is another problem put up TO a
Wilson administration, an administra-
ton that the country has learned 10
distrust as vacillating. temporizing and
self centered. On its handling may
depend the vast volume of eastern
trade and the valuable opportunity Of
an even break for the United Etates in
the coming mighty development of the
vast empire Of China.
The outlook is that Japan and per
haps her allies proposes TO absorb
China. Russia will get her bit. England
is under such obligations TO the Japs
as TO render her subservient, whether
she gets a slice of the pie or not.
There is none to interfere between
Japan and Chinese despoliauon except
the United States, and the fear is that
Japanese diplomacy will outguess and
outgeneral and outbluff those who
have in present charge the foreign
relations of this country. There is
nothing in the conduct of our recent
foreign affairs to make for confidence.
Have we run out Of Blaines and John
Hays and Roosevelts entirely?

BREAD PUDDING.

Bread pudding is conscientious ef,
for, on the part o ia thoughtless but
well-meaning housewife to eeonomize
at the expense of the human stomach.
For at least one hundred years in
rapid succession woman has been maxi
ing bread pudding and man has been
eating it. 1t has been observed that
women who manufacture bread pud-
ding very seldom eat enough of 1t
to founder anybody. Love and de-
votion can reach no greater heights
than when bright new husband UNI
used to LIES ways, partakes of this
dish and retains enough courage to kiss
his wife goodbye at the door. Some
OF the greatest hypocyites the world has
ever produced are conciliatory hus-
bands who eat several slabs OF bread
pudding and then begin to praise it's
tout ensemble.
Bread pudding is usually served at
the close of full meal, just when
everybody is filled with q feeling Of
entire content 1t is then led onto the
table and planted in front of each
guest in threatening manner, and It
is worth mans life to gaze over 1t at

moments in married life is when a
well-muscled bride of week places a
sector of bread pudding before the man
she swore to cherish and protect and
watches him edge away from the table

chiefly of bread which has died of old

LONDON EDITOR DECLARES COM
ING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
WILL BE THE MOST MOMEN-
TOUS SINCE LINCOLN WAS
CHOSEN

Mr.. Alfred G. Gardiner, in an editor
ial in the London Daily NeaOs, declares
that the preparedness issue in America
means that the greatest power on the
face of the earth has come into the world
system to secure herself against war
and the effects of war. He uses these
remarkable words:
$50 far as the United States is con-
cerned, the forthcoming presidential
election is the most momentous since
Lincoln was chosen. So far as the world
is concerned, it is incomparably more
momentous, because it is to decide what
America stands for in regard to the
future of the world.
''The underlying watchword of the
preparedness issue which is sweeping
the United States is the idea that the
power of America should be used to de-
liver humanity from the tolls in which
it has been enmeshed by the past; that
it should be the weapon of new dispen-
sation, and that the affairs of men shall
henceforth be subject to the arbitra-
ment, not for force, but of justice.
"The sword which America is forging

The value of the 1909 crop was esti-
mated at $18,OO0,0OO. Maryland, at
that time, held the lead as the greatest
strawberry producing state in the
Union, but since then she has been sur
passed by Tennessee, Arkansas, and
Louisiana.
One of the greatest forward steps in
the science of farming during recent
years has been in the production of all
kinds of fruit, which now amounts to
about $3.50, 100000 annually. In former
years, the ordinary farmer did not re-
gard it as worth his while to bother with
garden truck, orchards, or small fruits,
except to raise what he needed for his
own family; but intensive farming and
fruit raising is now considered as an
important branch of agriculture, and the
truck farmer has often been able to as
tonish the man of many acres by de-
monstrating how much money can be
made per acre from the raising of small
fruits and vegetables.

WIRELESS DEVICE PERFECTED
WHICH ENABLES AEROPLANES
TO RECEIVE SIGNALS

The prediction is now made from
London by Wilbur E. Forrest, the
United States Press staff correspondent,
that ''in future when giant aeroplanes
are making nonstop mail and passenger
runs between New York and Chicago
and between other American cities, air
passengers will be kept in minutest
touch with the days news by wireless,
and officers of the aircraft will receive
their orders that way, too"
This prophecy, which at first glance
may seem highly visionary, is borne out
by Signor Marconi, the Italian inventor
of wireless telegraphy. He now an
nounces that the problem of transmit
ting wireless messages to aeroplanes,
hitherto regarded as impossible, has
been solved. Heretofore, aeroplanes
have been at a disadvantage with air.
ships in wireless work, for the reason
that, while they were able to transmit
messages, they were unable to receive
them, because of the fact that the signal
was too faint to be distinguished over
the noise of the motor.
Marconi has been able to strengthen
the receiving signal sufficiently to en-
able messages to be taken. Being a
soldier, he cannot give details of his
new discovery, but significantly says:

RUSSIANS DRIVING TOWARD
LEMBERG

The gigantic Russian offensive, suddenly
begun on June 4, still continues without
abatement, and with a degree Of success
which has amazed the world.
A general engagement has now been in
progress for nearly three weeks, under the
direction Of General Brussiloff, along an
extensive front which, owing to rapid
gains, now makes a deep 7 into the coun-
try toward Kovel and Lemberg.
The fighting is being waged through a
region which was the scene Of the great
Austro-German offensive Of last year. The
capture Of Lutsk and a series Of powerful
organized Austrian positions was an
nounced from Petrograd on June s, and
this has since been followed by the official
announcement Of the capture of Czerno-
WITT, the defending army of General
Pfanzer having been broken into two sec
lions and forced into disorderly retreat.
The advance on Lemberg is now being
made along three converging lines.
According to late reports given out by
the Petrograd war Office, more than 900
prisoners have been taken since the begin
ming Of the drive.
Alarmed by the evident inability of the
Austrians to check the advance of Russ
ian troops, the Kaiser is now rushing six
German divisions eastward
to prevent the capture of Lemberg, and
the Austrians, supported by German
troops, are beginning to counter attack
with great vigor

PLEADING AND MOST INFLUEN-
TIAL AMERICAN"

Referring to the refusal of the Repub-
lican National Convention to nominate
Theodore Roosevelt for president, an
editorial in the Kansas City Star has
this to say:
'In convention of his enemies he
was the dominating force. s.
'The delegates assembled in Chicago
hated him. But they knew he had fixed
the line of the fighting. They would not
make him their nominee, but they had
to permit him to write their platform.
They were stampede proof against pub
lie sentiment But his influence forced
them to accept man who was almost
as Objectionable to them as Roosevelt
himself.
"The same thing happened in ST.
Louis. Delegates of hostile party re-
nominated a man whose nomination
four years ago was tribute to the Pro-
gressive influence. They adopted a
platform whose terms had been dictated
by this remarkable private citizen.
"a year and half ago he alone of
Americans saw the danger of the
country's unpreparedness and began
preaching the need of strengthening the
nations defenses. Championing an I'M
popular cause, he made his appeal in
season and out, and he turned the
country over
"But the preparedness he urged was
not solely or chiefly military. His
imagination caught the vision of pre-
paredness of spirit as the national need.
He was the prophet of a new order-of
a nation prepared industrially, on bas-
is of social justice, with democratic
training in arms, so that the country
might be worth defending and defended.
