A Pitiable Spectacle.

Fortham, editor of the Fort Worth
Star Telegram, in that paper
says:
Intelligent observers here ac-
cept military intervention as both
certainty and necessity. Car
ranza's de facto government is
lettering to an inglorious fall.
His army has little patriotism
and less fidelity in its rank and
file. Throughout it is honey
combed with distrust. suspicion
and treachery. Desertions to
the red standard of that coarse
and vulgar international outlaw,
Pancho Villa, occurs in droves
with each successive day. Mean
while the first chief of the de
facto government expurgates the
insolence, which has heretofore
characterized his diplomatic COM
munications, from all notes" to
the American Secretary of State,
and pleads in words in which the
trained ear catches the quaver-
ing plant of a distinct whine,
for Uncle Sam to come to his
help in this hour of overwhelm-
ing distress.
Was there ever in this time of
boasted civilization so contempt
ible and pitiable a spectacle as
that presented in the hideous
conditions that now harass the
misnamed republic to the south
Of us? For more than five years
riot and waste, not revolution
with patriotism and reform as its
purpose and impulse, have held
dominion over the land. Within
that time Diaz was exiled, Ma
dero assassinated, Huerta driven
out and left to die in an inhospi-
table land under the watchful
eye of the federal authorities,
Villa. branded an outlaw by two
republics, and an equally bad or
worse fate melted out to many
other would-be strife and faction
leaders, among whom are recall
ed Bernardo Reyes, Orozco and
Felix Diaz, the first two dead,
and the last named now hanging
around the edge of a seething
political vortex seeking an oppor-
tunity to organize a counter revo-
luton in the ignoble hope that it
will bear him on its turbulent
waves into the presidency of
Mexico.
And, come to think of it, that's
the route by which ambitious
men travel to that exalted sta
ton in this grotesque travesty on
a republic, which, out of neigh
borly courtesy, we call the repub-
lie of Mexico.
Now, what is the net result of
all this revolution and counter
revolution all this fractional tur-
MOL driven on by the unholy am
billions of desperate men who for
get the woes and ills that Cypress
the masses in their diabolical
struggle to reach the presidency
of Mexico? Not one of these liv-
ing chiefs has credit enough in
any market of the world to stop
a bread wagon.
So, in the industrial cities bread
riots-wo than the horrifc in
flictions of war-have become the
hideous order of the more hid
eous and hopeless days.
1t must be pleasant to the ears
of Mexican men who love their
country and still hope for the flu
ture, to hear starving Mexican
women and children crying out
in the streets of their cities and
on the highways, Viva Grin

THE MEXICAN MASSACRE

The blood of these peaceable and deserving Americans, who should have been welcomed as among the real saylurs of Nexico's prOstrated industries, is upon the admtuLstra- tiou of President Wilson. It was President Wilson who led these men. as he has been trying to lead the American people generally to believe tLa. the trouble is oyer in Mexico. l. was he who accepted Carranza, the gasconading "first chief who has pr0tited by the works of bandits like Villa and Rodriguez only to repudiate all re- spona5Gity for ,hem when he sue cseded in getting 8 liytIe way along. How lar the mere blu1 of Car ranza.s government could shelter Americans in Mexico We see now.
 To whom does the responsibility for such 8 massacre belong? To whom, indeed, if uot to the man who said, in his address to con- grsss on Aug. 27, 1913:
 We should let everyone who as- sumes 10 exercise authority in any part Of Mexico know in the most uuequiyocal way that We shall viz iIauuy watch the fortunes of those Americans who cannot get away, and shall hold those responsible for their succcrtugs a-d losses to definite reckoning. That can and will be made plain beyond the possibility Of misunderstanding" Boston Transcript

which rely on the obstacles of ma
 uve to preserve their independence, The same means would have enabled Rudolph of Hapsburg to OyerpOwer the Swiss, as a century ago they enabled Napoleon to subdue the dauntlcss Tyrolese led by Andrew Hofer. No small nation can pre- serve its identity when a great empire coyets its territory, for modern science has put personal vaIor aL 9 discount.
 Montenegro deserved better of the allies than thus to have been left to her fate. She never flinched at overwhelming odds. She took at their face value the promises to fight the battles of the small na- ttous, but the aid that was sent in the shapes of artillery and supplies were meagre and inadequate. Had France and Britain landed an army in Montenegro Or Albania months ago, there might have been a diff tsrent story to tell of both MoDten-  egro and Serbia, also of Greece, Rumauia and Bulgaria. Italy, hay ing only the Adriatic to cross, saouId have been able to succor the uttlo mountain people, but cautered her attention on her own war, giving direct help to no ally bio CT little.
 Should Austria permanently re- tain Montenegro, the dual mon archy will add to it's coast on the Ardiatic and will relieve it's port Of Cauaro from the constant men ace of Mount LoYcheu. Austria ma go on to occupy Albania, where the remnant of the Serb army has taken refuge, and to extend her frontier to join that of Greece. But the ultimate fate of MOntene- gro end Albania has not been de- ctdcd by the battles in the Black Mountains. It will be decided by the battles in France and Russia, Macedonia, Thrace nd MesOpotamia. The general result of the war will decide whether Montenegro shall become extinct as a nation or shall rise again, perhaps to be united with a uewly-risen Serbia.-Oreg' n- ian.

MIR. WILSON'S TOUR

It is much to be regretted that President Wilson's speaking tour in behalf of national defense mus! necessarily have a political aspect. He Is a candidate for nOmi- nation and reelection. The cam paigu is on foot. And the ques- tion of preparedness is one into which politics should not enter.
 Doubtless MT. Wilson realizes the political advantage of making a direct appeal to the people at this time on the question of armament He is too astute to be obvious to that fact. Yet he Is confronted by a situation which demands such an
The daily Alaskan., 1916-02-03

appeal regardless cf his own IolitI- cal fortunes.
 There can be Eo doubt that the country appreciates fully the need of preparing itself against possible foreign invasion and the necessity of being ready to enforce its rights if they are violated by a foreign nation. Yet there is a strong ele- ment in the democratic party, led by MT. Bryan, which is blindly and obstiuateIy opposed to this. That element is powerfully represented in congress and it has already ar rayed itself against any sort of preparedness worthy of the name.
 The cnIy way to reach these perverse members of congress whether they are wrong-headed or demagogical, is through the people. What President Wilson says on the subject of preparedness during his forthcoming tour will really be di- rected at them, as the defendants in the case, with the American peo- pIe sitting as the jury.-Cleyeland

THE TRAGEDY OF MONTENEGRO

There is tragedy ia tho announce meut .lat Montenegro has sur rendered to Austria, for it is the frs. confession Of defeat by the uo-sugrender Serbs. When the mediev.i Serb empire was over thrown by the Turks at KossOya in 1889 a remnant of the defeated army retired to the Black Noun tains, which trowu down upon the Adriattc, and there maintained refuge fer those of their race who refused to bow to the Turkish yoke. Fer more than 500 years they have hurled back every attacking army. Always threatened, often hard pressed, they have neyer until now confessed defeat.
 The fate of Montenegro is the more tragic because the quarrel in which she dies was none of hers except as every quarrel of Serb with TeutUu or Turk is hers. When Austria attacked Serbia in July, 1914, Montenegro went to the sis ter kingdoms aid because she had always been the raIlyiug point of Serb independence and because she could not resist the tie of blood brotberhco cd. In 1876, when Serbia defisd Turkey, Montenegro stood beside her. In 1912 Montenegro was first of the Balkan allies to attack Turkey and forced the fight ing. In 1913, after having won the Iong-coveted fortress of scutari by the sacrifice of brave thou sands, the Black Mountain peo- pie were forced to surrender it in a vain effort to placate Austria Recently they regained it only to lose 1t again and with it the iude- pendence which they have so gal lantly maintained for so many centuries.
 Unaided and with Hanks eN- posed by the conquest of Serbia, Montenegro had no hope. Modern artillery and science have sounded the kneu of these little nations

made whereby the Sons and the Daugb.
ters of the American Revolution will
hold several social entertainments dur,
ing the coming season. The resigna-
tion of Winthrop Hammond as presi,
dent was not accepted. Mr.. Hammond
had sent in his resignation on account
of his residence being in Portland, but
1t was decided since he had taken so
much interest in the organization, to
continue him in the office until the
close of his term.
Mrs. Henry Meyers will present the
Sons gavcl made from one of the

pieces of oak from the bridge crossed
by the minute men of Revolutionary

{ 0zuna

Washington, Oct. 25.-The defeat of
Carranzista General Ozuna with three
thousand men by Villistas in the battle
at Palomas several days ago is
described in dispatch from General
Bell at Ell Paso, forwarded today by
General Funston: f - t
"a prominent official from Chihua;
hua City says that one of the com.
manding officers of the Ozuna army
told him the following story of the
battle of Palomas:
"sGeneral Ozuna had about 5000
men and they had taken out eleven
trains loaded with provisions, ammuni-
ton and troops besides the cavalry.
When near Palomas, Villa sent 2000
men, to intercept them, and gave battle
for few minutes, retreating and fight
ing as they retreated. Then Villa sent
another detachment behind Ozuna's
forces, cut the railway and telegraph
and also attacked Ozuna s rear.
'0zuna followed the retreating
Villistas into a canyon in the foot
hills and there Villa attacked. Salazar
had stationed about every hundred
yaruS 1Or more IndH TWO mites, dDOut
twenty men and as Villa attacked
their front, Salazar attacked their
flank which caused stampede, many
of them throwing away their arms as
they ran like scared sheep, the Willis
tas killing or capturing more than
| 900 of them and also capturing all
their trains and provisions.
T'The Carranzistas fled to Fresno,
where they tried again to make a
stand, but Villa drove them into Chi
huahua and had his headquarters only
five miles outside of the city.
When the train left Chihuahua
yesterday morning at 8 a. M. other pas
sengers said Villa was csmped just
outside the city, and that his camp.
fires were visible Sunday nightSNand
that the people are panic stricken.
Passengers say that General Haycott
had arrived with four trains of troops
and that it was reported that there
were IA more trains on the way to

cross-examination. "She told him each
time to get out. she said, but the last
time he threatened to kill her,
'Did she tell you that he had tried
