5000 AVAILABLE DEFENDERS.

The United States is country
5000 miles wide with 5000 miles of
land frontiers and 100000 people.
Just at this time little matter OF
police duty on our southern border
is engaging a body of our troops
Now fresh outrages at another poin,
demand the attention of our army
And in all the United States there
are 5000 effectives to respond.
Where should we be if war with a
first class power were to break out?
The answer is easy. We could leave
unprotected the citizens near the Dor
der in the region of Glen Springs
and meet the forces of the foreigners
with all the massed weight of 1900
men. Three thousand. 1t is large
number. About two regiments, as
full war strength goes in the Ameri-
can army.
Out upon the preparedness cranks!
We are ready for the world. We
can send an expeditionary force into
the deserts of the Southwest and still
reserve a vost host of 5000 trained
men to defend a population of 92,-
600. 1000, repel invasion and hold
thousands of miles Of lana frontiers.

THE HOUR FOR INTERVENTION.

There is one thing that can induce
us to intervene in Mexico. That is
the prompting of humanity. We are
Mexico's next neighbor-her only
neighbor with land frontier match
ing with hers, except for little Guate-
mala and the short stretch OF the
margin of British Honduras that
touches the edge of the territory of
Quintana Roo. And Mexico lies pros
trate, like the man fallen among
thieves, who waited for the Good
Samaritan.
The president has declared that he
would have none of Intervention in
Mexico so long as Mexico held forth
any prospect of establishing a govern
ment for herself-and he has said
we'll. But we are Just now having
set before us proof of the fact that
people may reach a point where
the forces that make for law and
order are paralyZed, while only the
destructive forces that make toward
barbarism remain active. That
proof has come in the form of the
demonstration of the utter impotence
of the Carranza government to pre-
vent incursions of Mexican bandits
into friendly territory at time
when every consideration of pride,
self-interest and fear of the future
moves that governments leaders to

likely to eventuate in a new pollcy.
We are not without precedents OF
our own making. Cuba might have
come to lf-government after long
anarchy; but there can be no doubt
that many precious years were saved
and incalculable misery, wrong and
loss forestalled by United States in

growing plant until it has strength
to stand alone against wind and rain.
The infant Cuban government be-

When we see that only through in

the Mexiacn people be saved from

sion of rescue to a ship-wrecked peo-
pie, then the hour for Intervention

SILVER.

One of the swift changes of the
war has been its rehabilitation OF
silver. Yesterday the white metal
sold at u p cents an ounce, the
highest price in more than twenty
years. The lowest price, less than
As cents, was quoted a year after the
great contest began.
The ratio in value of silver and
gold, which for many years did not
vary widely from l ) or 16 to /, was
badly upset by increased production
of both metals, but especially silver,
and the opening of the war, it fluc
tuated between 80 and 40 to l. Last
August it was more than 40 to l..
1t is now 26 to l and highly specula-
tive at that.
Both gold and silver are commod-
tiles as we'll as moneys, but in far
different proportions. The world S
gold coinage, speeded up for the war,
is mounting toward $4,000, 900.
Its silver coinage is above S3,O0O,-
100000.
In 1912, by treasury figures, 10
per cent of the worlds current silver
production was going into industrial
and art uses, and only 81 per cent
Of it's gold. A sharp increase in the
coinage use of silver accompanies the
war, as gold is Withdrawn into the
great national banks or horded, and
as silver takes it's place in circulation
and is boarded in turn. In this a
considerable part of Europe is fol-
lowing India age-old example,

watch for democratic governor be-

some republican who might be nomi-
