slider our recent history in about this
fashion: A large nation to the north
of US, about six times our size, had
endeavored to humiliate our national
dignity because of an untoward but
unimportant incident in the harbor of
Tampico, where an overzealous Mexi-
can officer exceeded his authority and
acted discourteously to some Amer
lean sailors.
Our president was commanded to
make reparation for this by saluting
the American flag. He refused to
do it, and an American force took
possession of Vera Cruz. The Am
erican fleet made this possible, but
the American force never got beyond
the protection of the guns of the
fleet. Gallant Mexican cadets faced
Mexico's face. Mexico hits back,
the big gun fire, answered it with
rifles, and were annihilated, prefer
ring death to surrender. They added
glorious chapter to the record of
Mexican gallantry and patriotism.
The United States army could not
advance beyond the protection Of the
navy's guns, ard, after a period, Of
occupation of the city, was with
drawn. Many Mexican civilians had
been killed, but our president did not
salute the American flag and Mexico
was protected from invasion by her
brave army. -.
There followed period after this
demonstration of Mexico's ability to
defend her soil when it seemed pos
sible to maintain the friendly rela-
tions between the two nations, but a
band of outlaws, brave Mexicans, but
outlaws, evaded the vigilance of our
government and attacked town
across the border. We disavow
these outlaws, but we must recog-
nize their bravery and chivalry. The
town they attacked was Columbus, at
which was stationed a part of the
American army. They did not at
tack an unprotected town but one well
guarded. Their purpose, unfortun-
ately, was not only to attack the
troops but to murder civilians. They
held the troops off successfully while
they devoted themselves to their mur-
derous work.
When they had accomplished it they
withdrew. Later, when the govern
ment of the United States had collect
ed it's forces, they We're pursued. Our
government, striving sincerely and
eagerly to preserve peace, permitted
an American expedition to enter Mexi-
co to catch the outlaw leader, making
it plain that the invasion was endur-
ed patiently not because of helpless
ness but because of friendliness.
The outlaw leader was not caught
The effort was futile. The govern
ment of the United States then was
advised that if it would devote itself
as thoroughly to patroling it's border
as the Mexican government was de-
voting itself to the task of running
down the scattered bands of outlaws
such regrettable incidents as that at
Columbus could not occur. Our rea.
sonableness and patience had no ef-
feet upon the American government
Foreign troops remained on our soil
We were obliged to give our army
the task of stopping the invasion.
At Parral the invaders were told
that they could not proceed farther

tackled and put to fight with losses
Our government, still maintaining its
friendly intent, informed the Amer
lean authorities that the United States
army was interned in Chihuahua and
asked them to remove it.
When this request was unheeded
our government took the matter in
frmer hands and advised the United
States that a movement of troops in
any direction except northward, in
retreat, would be stopped by force
This advice was ignored, and at Car
rizal an American force endeavored
to move through the town. 1t was
attacked and routed. We retained
twenty-four prisoners and much
booty. The American force was de-
stroyed.
Our force was outnumbered, but
the gallantry of our troops was not t.
be denied. Three men at a machine
gun sustained an American charge,
and, by remaining at the gun until
death, broke the attack and decided
the day. Their heroism never will
be forgotten.
Our government magnanimously re-
turned the prisoners to American ter
ritory, state of war not being then
recognized to exist, but with the pri-
soners went firm demand for the
withdrawal of the aliens who had
been violating sacred Mexican soil.
This demand contemplated no evasion
or equivocation. 1t was indignant
and downright. Our patience was
at an end. Our soldiers had proved
their courage and efficiency. Mexi-
co was ready to expel the foe. (The
end, or to be continued?)
This is all wrong. 1t must be all
wrong. But at what point, looking
at it from the other side of the bord-
er, would you find an error? If we
regard Bunker Hill as a victory over
the British, why should not the Mexi-
cans regard Parral as one over the
Americans? And they came out of
Carrizal in possession of the prison.
ers, the booty, and the field Why
should they not regard that as a vic
tory?
Our men cannot conduct war un-
der orders from the state department.
If they are fighting, they must fight
under military, not diplomatic, direc-
ton. Otherwise they will be defeat
ed. They were defeated at Carrizal.
Our Mexican policy constantly de-
feats itself. 1t is mighty poor policy
to slap mans face. That is in
effective violence. We are slappine
and we, continuing to slap, get the
worst of it.
MeXicans cannot understand that
there is any deliberate patience in ou,
conduct. They interpret it as cow
ardice. Their contempt for Americ.
ans will be increased. Carranza can
outwrite President Wilson, and the
Mexicans will Outright the Americans
if the Americans continue to have
their hands tied.
If Carranza forces the withdrawal
of American troops, he will have wor
complete victory. If they are no,

SIZZLERS AHEAD:

Bunches of Heat Just Waiting

Due to a cool wave which moved
northward from the coast of Virginia

Harrisburg received temporary relief

morrow and according to local weather
forecasts Sunday is likely to be a

Rp SpeeiaI Correseorderee

Mt. Gretna, Pa, July 2S.-A place
in the seventh division of the National
Guard of the United States made up
of Pennsylvania troops has at last
been found for the men in Camp
Armstrong and it is probable that
guardsmen of the Ninth and Thir-
teenth regiments of the Third brigade
will be on border patrol among their
comrades of the other Pennsylvania
regiments.
The Ninth regiment Of Wilkes Barre
will be turned into the second Penn
sylvania field artillery and it's num-
bers increased at least by 400. The
18th regiment of Scranton will be
known as the third artillery and it
will also recruit. Both will go to
their homes tomorrow. Adjutant
General Stewart said that both would
return to Mt. Gretna shortly.
To Absorb Battalion
Ths separate battalion will also be
absorbed, Companies K from Sunbury
and F from Danville being united into
one company and taking the place of
a company at Ell Paso that will Join
the engineering company of the
Fourth infantry. Companies D and c
of the separate battalion will return
IN week to be physically examined
and mustered into government service.
They will then aid in training the
rockies as they come into the summer
camp.
According to General Stewart, the
Ninth regiment or the Second artil-
lery, as it will be known, will consist
of six batteries of 126 men each and
will be divided into two battalions.
They will use three-inch field guns.
The 18th or the Third artillery will
have six batteries or three battalions
composed of two batteries each. II
will be armed with four and seven
tenth-inch howitzers.
I'VE may not be able to get the full
war strength, although we will try for
that. But we have to get full peace
strength before we go on duty" said
General Stewart.
Touching on the subject of prob
able demotions, General Stewart said:
II can tell very little about that,
1t may be probable that some officers
will not pass the physical examination
You can see for yourself though that
as an infantry regiment has twelve

depend entirely upon the cooperation
of the several cities concerned at the
next session of the Legislature.
Perhaps the most serious objection
to the law is its log-rolling feature and
the efTort of each commissioner to get
for his own department something at
the expense of the city-at- large. So
far as the nonpartisan feature of the
new scheme is concerned it has not
proved great success. 1t seems to
be three-to-two game everywhere.

York.
New York, July 2s.-Another cir
cumstantial report regarding the
whereabouts of the German merchant
submarine Bremen, long expected at
some American port, is that the ship
has been captured by British patrolling
squadrons and is to-day tied up in the
northwest arm in the harbor of Hall
fax. n. S.
The report of the capture, which is
published here to-day. is given in
letter said to have been written by the
secretary of a high Canadian official
to a business man of this city. The
letter is declared to have been mailed
from Buffalo, n. Y, two days ago, and
therefore could not have been sub
Jected to the scrutiny of the Canadian
censor.
The letter was written in confidence,
it is stated, but the information it
contained was divulged by the re-
cipient to a friend in the course of
an argument as to whether or not the
Bremen could pass through the British
barrier.
The letter says:
You seem In New York to be wor-
ried about the Bremen. There is
really no cause for worry, for at the
present time she is tied up in what we
call the northwest arm in the harbor
of Halifax and is being well taken
care Of
Telegrams of inquiry sent to Ottawa
and Halifax haze not as yet brought
any continuation of the reported cap
ture of the merchant submarine.
The Bremen, the second unit of Ger
many's proposed merchant submarine
fleet, has been due for some days in an
American port. Private information
was to the effect that she had been
ordered to make New York harbor if
possible, but in the event that this was
not feasible she was to go to any other
American port that presented favor
able opportunity for entrance. Impor-
tant mail for bankers here and prob
ably for the merchant submarine
Deutschland was said to be aboard.
The long delay of the submarine
Deutschland, now at Baltimore, in
leaving for home is said in some quar-
ters to have BEEN due to the fact that
she was waiting for further instruc-
tions contained in the Bremen's mail
budget.
