Question of Withdrawal
Not To Be Referred to

EXPENSE AND DANGER
DEMAND ACTION
General Staff Fears Clashes

Washington. July l5.-Pershing's eN-
pedition will withdraw from Mexico IN
dependently Of the action of the JOINT
international commission, according 70
the present plans of the Admlnistra-
ton. The question Of Withdrawing the
troops will not be referred to the COM
mission at all. il is understood.
President Wilson has adopted this
course. il is declared. for two reasons.
First, the retirement Of the troops will
be accomplished as a voluntary act and
justified by the dispersal Of the ban
dts. Second. the legality of the PERISH
ing expedition will not be brought into
question. The impression that the
troops were forced out will be avoided,
and no opportunity will be given the
commission for decision that might
embarrass the Administration.
Right of Troops in Mexico.
When the commission plan was first
suggested Administration officials de-
clared that the right of the United
States 70 maintain troops in Mexico for
the protection OF tae border could be
submitted to no form Of arbitration or
mediation. At the same time It was
realized that no final agreement with
Carranza was possible while American
soldiers were on Mexican soil.
Recently the General stan ana, II is
D. h INV N I'M n
strongly recommended withdrawal
Strategic reasons were placed first:
officers declaring that in the event OF
war with Mexico the Pershing column
would not only be ineffective IN ITS
present position, but would be eXposeu
10 danger that would necessltate com
nlete revision Of the war plans OF the
General staff.
Expense Heavy.
Resides. there were the great diff
Guilty and expense OF maintaining eoino
munications. particularly during the
rainy season. and the danger OF clashes
with Carranzistas that might lead 10
bostilities. These arguments welgneu
strongly with the Administration wneh
counled with the fact that Pershlns
had for weeks been inactive and that
bandits had been eliminated from MS
neighborhood ,,
The agreement to refer the details Of
the settlement. apart from the with
drawal, to a joint commission Is de-
clared TO be due TO desire to gam
time. The formation and deliberations
of such a commission will require at
least month. during which PerShlng

afforded.
Acting Secretary Of State Polk and
Ambassador Designate Arredondo are
expected to meet Monday to define the
scope of the commission and arrange
for its appointment.

Illustrative of Unpreparedness.

We used to know man who had
what he thought was a race horse.
That animal was entered in all of
the races of the country round about
and would make pretty good show
ing, but~he could not win race.
The poor animal was no earthly good
to his owner. In fact he was detri-
ment. as he would come just near
enough to winning race to encourage
his owner to bet on him. He was a
worse proposition than no horse at all.
This seems to be the sort of an army
and navy that some people want us to
have. An almost winner. Better
have absolutely nothing at all. Hav-
ing nothing we shall know that we
must depend upon fawning and truck
ling and crawling on our stomachs in
the dirt for protection. And what sort
of protection is that? Look at China.

For arrogant insolence the threat
Of the armor-plate manufacturers to
"hold up" the government if it at
tempts to break away from their
clutches is in a class by itself. These
are the harpies who in 1896 charged
this government $40 ton for armo1
plate that was regularly sold to for
eign governments at $249 a ton. In
1894 they were fined for delivering
armor plate that was cracked, resur.
faced, full of blow holes and motor
iously defective. The New York
World anent this says: "Some OF
this armor was intended for the ships
that won the Spanish war. If it had
not been detected, it might even now
be the weak defense upon which in a
great emergency American life, honor
and property would depend" Today
the government is protecting them in
their legal rights to sell ornaments
to the combatants, and a golden
stream is pouring into their Golfers as
a result. Gratitude!

Guiding speech in favor Of this bill
Congressman Schall of this district
said: 'At time when mutterings of
discomfort are in the air, when no man
knows what day may bring forth,
when wars and rumors of war shock
the mind and strain the nerve, when
the friendly nation of today becomes
the bitter enemy Of tomorrow, shall
we call noisy attention to the fact that
the volunteer soldier has no place in
the heart of the Nation; that his death
for his country is a slight incident, to
be brushed aside as Of no moment, and
for his widow and his orphan there is
no claim upon the gratitude of the
country he served?"

Commenting on the splendid in
dorsement given Frank B.>Kellogg by
the republican. editors of the state,
the st. Cloud Journal-Press pointedly
remarks: "The republicans of the state
are waking up to the necessity of hav-
ing able men as national representa-
tives. Just now about the whole Min
nesota burden is placed on the Shout
ders Of Uncle Knute Nelson, and he
should be given man Of high ability
to work with him for the glory of
the State. Kellogg is one of the best
equipped men in the commonwealth
for this position, apd he is the kind of
man who would be true to the interests
Of the people, having high sense of
patriotic duty, backed with courage,
honesty and ability"

CONSTRUCTIVE DEFENSE

While it is pretty generally admit
ted that the United States must in
crease its ornaments very few seem
to be certain as to what preparedness
plan would prove most feasible. A
plan of constructive defense bv Harry
e. Traver has much to commend it.
Writing on "Invincible America he
says in part:
Inc new system consists simply in develop-
! ing on large scale the method found so suc
cess1ul IN building the great Panama canal
! namely, place the great reclamation projects
the great bodybuilding schemes, the great
Mississippi river improvement. and other ore,+
and much-needed public works under the con.
troll of the United States Armv Enp;neers
Give these engineers an army of vonno mon
who can handle pick and shovel, live in the
open, drive mules, load wagons. operate motor
trucks, and do such work and live such life
as that required of soldier That the Army
engineers built and completed successfully and
economically the greatest engineering feat of
modern times at Panama, after other agencies
had failed, is sufficient proof that they are
| equal to this new task. At Panama it was

| the climate, but in this country the common
soldier can do all of the work.
l. Soldiers will be enlisted with this end IN
view from the very start They will consti-
tute vast industrial army under the control
of the war department; there will be impor-
'tant work for every from the officer down
| to the rawest recruit and all the men being
proftably employed and it will be possible
to maintain an army of 100000 or more with
mere fraction of the loss and waste that is
common under the present system.
These men will be enlisted for a period of
several years. The pay and other conditions
will be made attractive enough to get sufficient
good men and no more. The work will be
conducted under the regular discipline of the
army. The men will live in portable houses
or camps at the various places where the work
is being DONE throughout the country The
outdoor work and life will tend to harden the
men to the life of soldier. Every day an
hour or more will be devoted to drill and
other military training. On Saturdays ex-
tensive maneuvers will be practiced Here
then, in nutshell is the scheme which will
train million in a few years at very
little more expense than the cost of the great
engineering works on which the men are en-
ployed.

It is charged that the International
Harvester company has been unduly
active in Mexican affairs even to the
extent of furnishing money and arms
to the revolutionists in Yucatan op-
posed to the Carranza government,
thereby hoping to gain control of the
sisal market which would enable it to
supply practically all Of the binder
Irvine to American farmers. Unprov-
en- charges are subject to question,
but the persistency with which ugly
rumors that greed this side of the Mex
lean line is responsible for the de-
plorable and chaotic conditions in that
country float to the surface lends a
truthful ring to the allegations.

The Old system Refer

The presidential preference primary
law is going to cost the people of
Minnesota a pretty penny It calls
for the same election machinery as the
regular primary election in. June, when
local and state officers are nominated,
and the total expense to Otter Tail
county will probably exceed $4,000.
In former years there has been abso-
lutely no expense to the people in
connection with the presidential .pri-

A Philadelphia educator arises to
remark that this is not the era Of

and never will be such an era. To
prove his contention he cites the fact
that 36 per cent Of the worlds great

per cent between 70 and 80; 6 per
cent after 80; 10 to "a per cent be-

Congress has appropriated $594,000
to complete the Lincoln memorial
monument at Washington, D. C.
Originally 100000 was appropriate

matter how expensive, would be but a
feeble expression of the admiration of
