As the Pro.American Sees 1t.

CHARLES EVANS HUGHEs in both
public and private utterances has
stood for complete, unyielding and in.
slant insistence on American rights.
WOODROW WILSON. under the pres.
sure Of national sentiment. finally
made a half-henrted stand for Ameri.
can rights violated ny Germany.
Mr.. HUGHES stands for the enforce.
ment Of American rights against Ge,
many. Great Britain. on the high seas,
In Mexico and everywhere else.
Mr.. WILSON hns failed to enforce
American rights on the high seas OF
against Great Britain. and he has de-
l~fherately sacrificed them in Mexico.
Mr.. HUGHEs has given audience ia
all sorts and conditions Of men
among them men who want to see
American rights enforced against
n country as well as another.
MIR. WILSON has denounced certain
men who truthfully accuse him Of not
having enforced American rights i'm,
partially against every nation and IN
all lands, and on all waters. Such
men he calls "disloyal." Such men he
calls pro-Germans.
They are not all O-Germans. Mr.
WILSON. How about the millions OF
pro-Americans who want to SCI
American rights enforced in Mexico
Dare You call them "%disloyal"? No

Truth ~ . High Explosive.

The American poet who Is at pres
ent most thoroughly o grnta to
the Administration Is WILLIAM CUL-
LEN BRYANT. who asserted that Truth
crushed to earth shall rise again."
President WILSON and his Cabinet
have discovered that not only was
BRYANT right in his assertion that
facts are bound to force themselves
forward into the light, but they have
learned to their sorrow that there 10
not a pigeonhOle in Washington that
can keep a state secret for any great
length Of time.
Some time ago Judge Advocate
General CROwDER, forced to pass upon
certain questions arising from the
pressrce Of United States troops In
Mexico, decreed that this country has
been, for IA long while past. technical
ly at war with our neighbOring repub-
lie. The Administration realized, with
a feeling Of conservation, that this
decision knocked its n best claim
to continuance in power into a cooked
hat. 1t had ba sed its demand for the
approval Of the American electorate
upon the sweeping assertion that, in
q time Of stress and unrest in the
world at large. 1t had managed to
keep this nation at peace. Statistics
showing that this so-called peace had
been more costly in men and money
than the Spanish war had not been
suf1clent to prove to a large number
of careless minded Americans that the
Wilson type Of pacifsm II a delnslon
and a snare. But the prOnOuncement
by the highest judicial authority on
military legal problems In the land
that we are, and have been, Mt wal
with Mexico was recognized instantly

represented that the National Guard
was In such a state Of efficiency that
liberalization with n liberal pay scale
would o convert It into u body OF
troops At to take Its place In the first
line Of defence. hut the mobilization
Of the Guard for duty on the border
was a painful revelation Of ineffi-
cheney, defective equipment and I'M
readiness, n regiment here and there
excepted. Colonel ROOSEVELT told the
story when he said at Denver:
After ten days Of maximum effort
just 10 per 9 Of the men were started
for the border. over 30 per cent. of the
Guard were found to be UNFIT for duty.
Many Of the men who started for the
border had never received q single days
training. Many had ever fred . rife.
Most Of the cavalry regiments had no
horses. Half the artillery batteries had
no guns
The result II that everybody knows
now that our only first line troops are
the regulars. 1t will take from two
to three years to bring them up to
the strength contemplated by the re.
organization plan. and the entire com
plement Of efectives will be less than
10000 men, a force that would deter
no hostile military Power from invad.
ing the United States or seizing Its
overseas territory. Colonel ROOSEVELT
contends that "the legislation OF the
last session should he repealed and
the work Of preparedness entered upon
with serious purpose" Perhaps to re.
model or recust 1t would be the bet
ter procedure. and. at any rate. the
Idea Of making the National Guard
first line troops should be abandoned
as impracticable. II was conceived
by Democratic politicians. who did
not look beyond the election Of No
vember Z. The irony of the situation
is that LIBERALIZATION has already
proved II boomerang. for the guards
men sent to the border consider them
selves the victims Of u confidenc,
game and yearn to get even with thu
Administration at the polls.

missed its entire force Is the Trivoli.

ployment badly. and need it at once.
