WAR PRODUCES WORLD
PARALYSIS.

More than year ago we
were agreed, most Of US in Unit
ed States that war was the most
terrible calamity that could be-
fall a nation. And we saw
clearly, the most Of US, that the
impending ruin OF Europe was
due to over armament, the de-
pendence cf force and intimina-
ton iGstead Of international con-
cilialion and Justice. And be-
fore hatred was rife and inter-
national SANDER obscured the
very heavens most men in Unit.
ed States welcomed the message
of peace.
Now that more than a year
of the great war has displayed
to US the most awful catastrophe
possible to human civilization,
and has shown the imbeciIity of
war lords and war-makers, too
feeble even to think of stoping
the war, they have blindly
brought on, utterly incapable of
positive action, we find that the
world is paralyzed, and is STU
pidly and Historically impatiens
with every influence that looks
over peace.
This is a phase Of the mortal
damage Of war; blind partisan
ship crowds of justice, and the
call of human fellowship across
the lines is smothered in the
wages Of hate.

THE MEXICAN
VOLCANO.

The Mexican Volcano is now
in the most serious eruption that
has ever been developed yet.
The United States Govern
ment has shown its utmost pa
tience and leinency in dealing
with that unfortunate country,
cursed as it has been with sell
fish. grating and incompetent
rulers. The limit Of our patience
has been reached and it would
seem that the avoidance of war
is we'll night impossible. La
1898, the peace-loving McKin-
ley had confidently hoped to
avoid a war with Spain until
the Battleship Main was blown
up, and after that event, he en-
tertained but the slightest hope
that war could be avoided be-
tween the two countries.
The attack last week on a
small detachment Of General
Pershing's forces, is very likely
to result in rendering war inevi-
table, just as the blowing up oi
the battleship Maine did in
1898.
AS every well informed per-
son knews Mexico has no mH.
milton factories of any conse'
quence, nor has she the skillec
workmen with which to either
constrct or operate them, anc
as all of her arms have been OBJ
tanned from this country, which
have now been cut off, and a:
our navy can easily blockade
her coast, it will be seen tha
Mexico would be entirely at ouI
mercy.
REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
ASSURED.
The Endorsement of Mr
Hughes by the Bull-moosers
has now made Republican sue
cess practically certain. 1t il
very likely that Mr.. Hughe
will poll about 9OS of the pro
gressive votes which Mr.. Roose
welt received in 1912. Thi
would mean the addition c
about 100000 votes to tn
Republican ticket which rem
ders the success Of the Repu
blican ticket almost beyon,
doubt.

writing notes to foreign coun
tries instead of maintaining
vigorous foreign policy, as wa
