In view Of President Wilson's re-
cent speech to the League to Enforce
Peace. now figuring as one of the
planks of the Democratic national
platform. it will be interesting to our
readers to know just what leading
publicists abroad think of the sugges-
ton that he ought TO be chosen as
mediator and arbitrator of Europes
"insane" quarrel. The President has
announced that he is ready to fix the
terms on which the peace of the
world is to be guaranteed in perpet-
uity after this war ends. Has his
declaration evoked Europe's graft
tude? Is his offer acceptable to the
powers which. in his patronizing judg-
ment, have committed an "act of mad
ness?"
NJ. Gabriel Hanotaux. member of the
French Academy and former Minister
of Foreign Affairs, gives a pointed.
though courteous, answer to these
questions in an article which appear
ed in the Paris Figaro" of May 81. It
was written for Americans, and we
are glad to republish it herewith as a
candid commentary on Mr.. Wilson's
world pacification program:

mony in honor of American soldiers

The Greatest Mistake of All
(From the New York SUM- J

Mr.. Taft hits the nail on the head
when he says that the ugly complica-
tion with Mexico is the result OF a
series of mistakes the greatest of
which is unpreparedness. Plainly
that is the mistake Of which the First
Chief is now taking advantage with
the guile of born politician With
our population of more than 10O.0O0,-
600 we have about $4,000 regulars. in
Chihuahua and $4,000 more in our
own territory along the Mexico bord-
er while we are mobilizing about 1907
600 National Guardsmen, ostensibly
for patrol duty in the border State.
but really for campaigning in Mexico.
That is the sum of our present re-
sources.
Il will be some time, perhaps
months. before the National Guard Is
completely equipped and ready to
take the field in Mexico If war follows
Mr.. Wilson's cautious negotiotions
with the de facto Government to es-
cape or postpone armed intervention.
The regulars have been patrolling the
border for more than two years and
are physically fit for any test Those
who are with General Pershing in
Chihuahua have done some hard work
in that diliicult country and know the
MeXicans from consequent contact
with them. But the National Guards
men, in the opinion of army officers
must undergo military and physical
training on the border, not for days
but for months. before It would be
prudent to throw them into a cam
paign in support of the regulars.
The regulars are supposed to he al
ways in the pink of condition, but
campaigning in the desert sorely tried
their stamina. National Guardsmen
are never in the pink Of condition un-
oil they have had a good deal of camp
duty rigorous drilling and plenty of
hiking in manoeuvres. Moreover. the
great majority of them are strangers
to the exacting climate of Texas and
northern Mexico That they must be

pressed in the same terms.
1t was a man born blind who upon
being asked to describe his idea of a
sunrise-or perhaps it was a sunset
replied that he mentally pictured the
wondrous spectacle as something like
a lump of sugar.
1t is only a man congenially inca
pable of correct perception and just
discrimination who can imagine that
patriotic loyalty to the national cause
which the President represents while
he holds the flag, with loyal support
of his acts while exercising his con-
stitutional functions as Commander
in Chief of the Army and Navy of the
United States. includes and requires
allegiance to the political fortunes of
candidate for Office.
Most Americans do not need to be
told the difference between sunrise and
sugar.

A NATIONS VOICE.

MO more convincing demonstration of the vitality
~ of religion in the United States could be found
than the result of the appeals of the Federal Council
of the Churches Of Christ in America for systematic
and continuous giving to the war relief funds in this
country. In every community whether church of
one of the thirty denominations which constitute the
Federal Council exists there not both secular and
denomnationa committees for relief are being
formed
The effect of the Federal Councils first appeal sent
out May IS to 100000 minister's did not stop with
them and the 177425O9 communicates under their
charge, but seemed automatically to create new at
mosphere in the nation In response the request Of
of the representatives Of the war relief organ
izations which have benefited by this new spirit Of
unselnshness and sefsacrifce. a second appeal was
sent out this month, but not TO the churches alone
The second appeal through the clergy TO the
entire people, but also direct to Chambers of
Commerce, Business Mems Associations, Women's
Clubs and similar bodies, and to the Mayors OF cities
and Governors Of States. Many public men, of all
political affiliations have signihed their approval Of
this movement. The nation has found voice in this
largest inclusive body OF its kind in the world.
No war relief fund has been added to the
listing organizations. The Federal Council acts only
channel clearing house, except in special cases.
But many checks for distribution to the various exist
ing funds have to it direct. Some Of the con-
ributions are in cash. 81 send you herewith $174
