Scott captured the City OF Mex

Doniphan, with less than a
thousand men, defeated 1900
Mexlcans at Bracito river and
later, with a force reduced to
1924 men, routed 1000 Mexican
soldiers strongly entrenched and
provided with great stores of
ammunition and arms.
Against the 10000 American
soldiers in Mexico are 10000 to
5000 Carranzista troops. TIE

easiness. But in the light OF his
tory, we need entertain no trou-

is no reason to believe that the
Mexican under Obregon is more
OF a soldier than he who served
with Santa Anna.

in as a great man. This man cut
off suddenly, dramatically, with
outwarnlng: we have a picture of
a nation in sorrow, a nation in
grief.
lit be true thatgreat men are
measured by their detractors as
towers by their shadows, by this
rule, also we must accord a high
grandeur to the character of
Britain's taciturn warrior, and
by it are the people justified in
the surrender OF their imagina-
ton to thisimposing figure which
they have surrounded with all
the glamor of military romance.
To them he was the plum d
knight, the soldier of spotless
soul, profound wisdom and in
vincible will. And the world has
held this high appraisal Of his
people fully won.
The outside world has, howev-
er, been less sympathetic, toward
and more critical OF the great
war, holding that the tasks COM
mitted to his hands were too
great for it, too great, perhaps,

molestation. In Heavens name,
what more could Mr.. Hughes
have done? Had we gone to war,
Germany would now be destroy
ing every enemy passenger ship
upon all waters where her sub
marines could hold their way.
and we could ask no redress. "In
our foreign relations" he says,
1--WE have suffered incalculably
from the weak and vacillating
course which has been taken with
regard to Mexico" Weakness
and vacillation would neverhave
wrung from Germany her con-
sent to abandon methods of war
fare which her government and a
great part OF her people believe
to be we'll justified and essential
to the success OF her arms. Mr..
Hughes statement is preposter-
Gus, his criticism fiat sad feeble,
AS his part in an agreement, with
Oyster Bay it can be understood,
but inevitably he lays himself O.
pen to the inevitable question:
"Pray, what would you h ave
done?" and that question he will
never answer.
Not less pointless are the can
didate's observations on Mr..
Wilson's course with Mexico. 1t
was 'lamentably wrong" says
Mr.. Hughes. He must tell the
country what course would have
been right, and then prove that
it would have been more success
full than Mr.. Wilson's course. Ap.
parently, he would have recogni-
zed Huerta. We sought to die
tate, he says when we were not
concerned. How would it have
helped matters to get up the pre-.
tense OF friendly relations with
thot old devotee to brandy and
usurpation? Responsibility for
our relations with Mexico would
have made Mr.. Hughes more eau.
tious about his language. Minor
troubles there were inevitable.
The major trouble of war with
Mexico was the only sure way to
end them Mr.. Wilson has avoi-
ded war. Mr.. Hughes also would
have avoided it.
