COUNTY LEADERS MEET.

y. M. C. A. Mon From County Get
Together at Supper.
Various problems of the work were
discussed, and many helpful sug-
gestions offered, at the supper given
by the Y. NJ. c. A. for. the county
group leaders at the Stoddart Friday
night. The affair was to have been
held at the Pilgrim, but had to be
changed due to a misunderstanding.
A. r. Siebens acted as toastmaster,
and the county representatives spoke
briefly.
Members Of the county committee,
under whose direction the county Y.
NJ. c. A. work is carried on, also spoke.
They dwelt especially on the ground
gained by the county organization
during the nine months in which they
have been active. One member said
that this movement had overcome the
opposition which had existed in some
parts Of the county, due to q miscon-
ception of the idea, and that more real
work had been accomplished in these
few months than many had thought
would be possible in two years.
The Albion division Of the Y. M. c..
A. group will enjoy wiener roast and
general good time Monday, after
which the work will be discontinued
during the summer months.

Our First Eorsian War,

The first foreign war in which the
United States was engaged began lis
years ago. when Tripoli issued decla-
ration of war against the new world
republic. The ruler of the piratical
African state had, learned that the
United States had paid larger sums to
Algiers than to himself. and demanded
a greater annual tribute. This was re-
fused, and on June 10, 1901, he de-
clared war. An American squadron
under Commodore Richard Dale was
dispatched to the Mediterranean. and
was followed by squadrons commanded
by Commodore Morris and Commodore
Preble. The war continued until 1905,

Mexican Situation.
Our friends on the other side are
very sensitive about Mexico. They say.
Why, that is all past. Isn't that all
past" No, the worst of it is that 1t is
all past and that we cannot get at 1t;
but that record is an imperishable rec
ord of weakness and vacillation that
forfeits, or should forfeit, the conf
dence of the American people. The
question is not simply as to that act or
this act, but it is record which is SO
changeful, so full of wrong -headedness.
so inconstant, SO destitute of correct
purpose, that we cannot review it save
with the conclusion that we cannot
safely intrust the welfare of the Amer

left our citizens prey to the ravages
of revolution and made our name a
word of contempt in sister republic.
Now, the correct way was this: If
the administration had at the outset
said to Huerta, We will recognize you
il you can perform your international
obligations. il you have got real gov
ernment that can discharge its duties
we won't recognize you unless we are
satisfied that you have. But there is one
thing that you and everybody else
must understand. and that is hits:
American life and the property of
American citizens in Mexico must be
protected, and we will see to it
The One Thing Omitted.
That was the straight and correct
policy. That was the one thing that
the administration ought to have done.
and the one thing that it did not do.
When men who had been deserted
by their government, when our war
ships left San Pedro and allowed Brit
ish and German warships to rescue our
own people-think of it, when we had
run away!-when one of the cabinet
officers was asked about 1t, what do
you suppose he said? He replied: You
went down there to make money didn't
you"
"The idea of any American, the repre-
sentative of this government. daring to
hold office in this country and being
traitorous to that primary duty Of gov
ernment-the protection of the lives of
it's citizens!
We cannot let the American spirit
fall so low that, Tapped in the luxury
occasioned by foreign war, we shall
see American lives sacrificed without a
determination to prevent it and to make
the American name honored and re-
spected wherever our flag flies. The
trouble with this administration is this:
l don't think it has ever had a policy
