Administration officials believe that
definite effort is being made to
bring about war between the United
States and Mexico. One cabinet mem
Der expressed the opinion following
the meeting that the attempts to
force Intervention were backed by in
terests owning property in northern
Mexico. Well-defined steps were be-
ing taken, he said, to stir up public
opinion In Mexico and the United
States to the point where D. general
be inevitable.
Several warnings against spreading
alarmist reports have been Issued by
administration officials already. and
II was said that President Wilson
deeply resentful over the situation
was determined that the agitation be
brought to an end.
Legal steps to stop the spreading
of false news are understood to be
under consideration, but officials have
not decided yet what san be done
One step suggested was the use of 6
law against the publication of reports
calculated to incite to arson ant
riot"
1t was also understood that the ad
ministration had under consideration
tightening the censorship on Mexican
news and warning army officers alonl
the border against giving out reports
unless fully verified.

We are by no means sure, however
that the labor SINNERS are wrong in
their conception of what is "un-Amer.
lean" For to be an ideal American

tude the stale crumbs that are swept
from the tables or kitchens of the

it? Well, Wen show them, before we
