drive is to begin sometime" after
September / but no definite engage
ments have been made, it is an

political speeches. He has tentative
engagements to make some Western
visits about the middle of September
but nothing positive. Plans are be-
ing formulated for carrying on cam
paign to capture the woman vote of
the country, but who will make the
speeches on this phase of the con-
troversy has not been determined. 1t
had been expected that Mr.. Bryan
would speak in the Maine campaign,
but it is now believed he cannot do
so, but will make some speeches later,
And so it goes. Watchful waiting

Mr.. Hughes is carrying on positive
campaign and arousing the entire

MR.. HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE
"KEPT-US-OUT-OF-WAR"
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the "kept-
us-out-of-war" argument has aroused
a story of enthusiasm.
"Kept us out of WARP" he demands
"Why, there were nineteen men-good
American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and many Mexicans were killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, it was very ignoble war.
have heard three explanations of the
Vera Cruz move.
''First, it was explained that it was
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the flag-somebody who had
insulted US. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day.
Then it was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing of a boatload Of ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton, landed, however, and it has
been shown that it reached Huerta
in due season without interference on
our part
"When that reason was shown to
be untenable, third one-and possibly
the real one-finally was advanced.
1t was said that our seizure of Vera
Cruz was move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this is true, although we had
promised the MeXicans that we would
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.
"That is why the Mexicans could
not understand us and that is why
they show little faith in our promises" !"

IN PREPAREDNESS THE AD-
MlNISTRATIoN HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the Administra-
tion has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited" Only
about a year and half ago we
were told that the question Of
preparedness was not a press
ing one; that the country had
been misinformed. Later, under
the pressure of other leader
ship, this ATTITUDE was changed!
The Administration, It was
said, had learned soniething,"
and it made a belated demand
for an increased army Even
then, the demand was not prose
cuted consistently and the pres
sure exerted on Congress with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent.
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
zation are due to the System"
But it was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
warnings of recent years, with
the whole world intent on mil
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectifed. The Ad.
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. Ap-
parently, it is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by It's
naval program. But 1t has i'm
posed upon the country an in
competent naval administration.

IN MARCH TO

And Many Facts about Ameri-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-1916 is
baby year. The facts about Amer
lean babies. the needs of American
babies, and Americas responsibility
to her babies will this year be known
as never before. because the first
week in March will be baby week
throughout the country.
More than 400 communities rep
resentlng every state in the union are
already laying their plans for baby
week. according to the children's
bureau of the Uunlted States depart
ment OF labor, in order that during
those seven days the needs Of the
babies may be so presented that all
the parents in those communities will
learn n little better how to care for
their babies. and all the citizens will
realize that they have special OBJ
legation to safeguard the conditions
surrounding babies. And It is con-
fidently believed by those who are in
terested In this nationwide baby
week that the remainder Of the year
will be marked by strengthening
of all community activities for saving
babies lives and giving them better
chance to grow to healthy maturity.
The baby week idea originated In
Chicago not quite two years ago.
Then New York had baby week.
and Pittsburg, and other cities. Such
practical benefit has in each case re-
suited that the general federation Of
women's club has undertaken to pro-
mote this nationwide observance.
State health officials and national or
CARNATIONS interested in public
health and child welfare have taken
up the plan and in various way are
giving 1t not only their sanction but
their active cooperation. The extern
sion divisions Of the state UNIVERSE
ties have promised special assistance
in interesting in and helping baby
