The North Seas Warning.

Editor of The Washington Herald:
Your editorial why the German
Fleet Won" would be commendable and
even laudable in an English paper
which was trying to preserve the
morale of its public; but when an
American paper of standing swallows
whole the stuff with which the Eng
lish government very properly tries
to foist on its people very properly
because it is essential that panic
should be avoided and the belief in
the fleet sustained) IT is doing what
is flatly unpatriotic; unpatriotic be-
cause anything which minimiZes this
most ominous happening serves 10
lull the American public into a false
sense of security. This country is
rot awake A lot of its idiotic somno-
lence is due to the press which has
lulled it with false and biased pre-
dictions of an inevitable victory for
the allies.
Out on you. man! for letting your
personal prejudices dictate such an
editorial You and every other man
who thinks for a minute knows what
this thing really means; what a
menace. a deadly menace it contains
for our country. You know, If you
have followed them, that the an
nouncements of the German admiral
ty are, as the New York Evening
Post said Saturday, generally trust
worthy" and you know. as every man
who knows anything does, the con-
ditions under which the English ad-
miralty is now giving out as official
the rumors from every source; and
yet your sense of responsibility per-
mits you to write such an editorial
The greatest bar to American pre-
paredness is and has been the pro-
vincial ignorance of American editors.
If American mouth power could
have settled the war 1t would have
been over long ago. We need cannon;
not tongues.

Injustice to woman makes countless

who is so nobly chsmpioning the cause

man without her own sex undertaking

that the peoples right Of privacy is
theoretical rather than actual. Pre-
sumably policemen can now return
with renewed vigor and increased
satisfaction to the annoyance and

that the people, whose taxes help to
pay the police. have no protection
against the tyranny Of the police. Ap-
parently there is no legal remedy
since the police, under Maj. Pull

above the law. Apparently the peo-

A Political Prophecy.

Editor Of The Washington Herald: I
wrote the following letter TO the New
York Herald on May IS 1909:
"A great many people in this country
today are unable to decide what is best
for our former Presidents TO do. So far
as President Roosevelt is concerned, this
need not puzzle any one. He is q man
OF destiny that has been developing ever
since he first entered public life. and
1t will not stop as long is he lives.
There is today an unorgauized Aneri-
can reform party. and Theodore Roose-
welt will lead It to the greatest Presi-
Dental victory ever known in this coun-
try in 1872. It was this man that kindled
civic righteousness, awakened stupefeo
conscience OF the people against the
government Of material power instead Of
equality Of law power. He preached re-
generacy at the altar and at the fireside
That It is human to err and he may
have erred, let US concede, but civiliza-
ton today honors Roosevelt the man,
and the work predestined for him to do,
the American people will enable him to
do and complete. The two old parties
stand like gigantic skeletons of power,
helpless apparently to rise to the fullness
OF their duty to the nation, no matter
how well piloted by the present occu-
pant of the Presidential chair
The party was organized as predicted; !;
Roosevelt headed it, and while he did
not obtain votes enough TO elect him
President, he certainly obtained the
greatest vote for a three-month old party
the world feel It is not too esotistic
TO claim that I am somewhat OF a po-
ltical prophet.

BORDER CONDITIONS
ARE EXAGGERATED
BY ROBERT J. BENDER

Jnlieu freSS Stdu Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 24.-There
will be no mobilization of the Nation
al Guard on the Mexican border at the
present time In the light of reports
received from American consuls in
Mexico, and from army officials in
charge of the American expedition.
President Wilson and his cabinet to.
da. decided there is no need at the
present either for a cali for yolun-
teers or for use of the militia.
The question of calling out the
militia for patrol duty was gone into
in detail. Members of Congress from
States on the border had impressed
upon the President and the cabinet
the need of additional troops on the
line. IL is possible that additional
regulars will be sent to the border al
though Secretary of War Baker would
not say today whether such orders are
contemplated He said merely he had
as yet given no such order
Il is the belief in administration
circles that re the United States to
mobilize the militia on the border at
the present time it would seriously
embarrass Carranza and 7 Ike more
difficult his task of convincing the
Mexican people that the United States
does not intend to make a campaign
against the entire country
So far as actual conditions are con
G ned, great optimism was voiced az.
ter the cabinet meeting today. One
official, following the meeting. said
that in the light of the official report
submitted today TO the cabinet. it was
a positive fact that "A vast amount OF
