TABLE LINENS at Prices and in Quail
ties We're Sure Youth Appreciate.
We were very fortunate last fall when we
placed our orders for these linens. In fact we
have priced these goods for our May Sale at
less than we could buy the same linens today.
The big majority cannot now be secured at any
reasonable price. Everyone knows the linen
situation as it stands today, hence it would
pay to buy literally.
The patterns are beautiful, the assortments
the largest have shown, and the quail
ties such that we're sure you'll be delighted.
We'd be pleased to show you these linens.

If We Must, We Must

THIS country is on the verge of serious
l trouble with Mexico. General Carranza
has chosen to justify eXpecta tons based on
his earlier revolutionary career, rather than
those inspired by his later and better con
sidered deeds and words He has reverted
10 type Only the wisest craftsmanship. the
coolest leadership and the firmest determine
ton on the part OF President Wilson can avert
that prolonged and bloody Intervention that
for three years he has labored to avoid
II is inconceivable-at least we hope so
that the Washington government will yield
now 10 the demand of the first chief. Our
work in Mexico is not ended. Villa must be
captured or slain and his power destroyed be-
yond the possibility of revival before the
withdrawal OF the military expedition should
even be considered. If Carranza desires TO
hasten this withdrawal, the means. as we
suggested the other day, are at his hand.
Let him cooperate with General Pershing in
the pursuit of the bandit With Villa dead
or in custody, Mexico will be freed of the
presence of American troops
Carranza has plenty OF men 10 make real
cooperation valuable If his sympathy with
American determination to punish the outlaw
who invaded American soil and slew Ameri-
can citizens were what he has pretended it to
be. Villa would not long remain at large
The 5,0Q0-word note that CarranZa's
Washington representative has presented 10
Secretary Lansing is characteristic piece OF
Mexican SOphiStry and rodomontadc. Most
Of II may be dismissed as meaningless. Its
essential averment is that the dc facto govern
ment Of Mexico never gave this government
permission TO cross the boundary. II may
be true mat CarranZa never intended to give
this permission His purpose, doubtless in
submitting proposition to Washington, un-
der which troops Of either country might
cross the border in pursuit OF raiding bandits
from the other, was TO initiate long and
conlplicat ted negotiation which would end in
words and nothing else. He may have be-
licved that President Wilson and Mr.. Lansing
would hesitate 10 make the ARRANGEMENT
RECIPROCAL and that there would be counter
proposals In this he was disappointed
The administration simply acccpted-and
sent the troops Over The line
That was an emmenrly proper thing to do
Tor public sentiment in this country would
have insisted on the dispatch of the cXpcdi-
tIun 10 punish the Columbus murderers

or withheld

Prosperity and Preparedness

IN the last year according to Comptroller
| OF the Currency Williams, the total re-
sources of the national banks OF the United
States have increased $2,27l,00O,000; total
deposits. S2,l9S, 100000, and loans and dis
counts $500, 100000. State banks and trust
companies probably would show an equal in
crease in resources, deposits and loans. The
country's prosperity. as Mr.. Williams says. is
rising rapidly 10 new levels Not all this
prosperity can survive the ending of the war.
There is the greater reason therefore, that
the nation and the nations business men
prepare for peace.
