AFTER THE PRISONERS, wHATP

The captured troopers Of Captain
Boyd's command being safely deliv-
cred back to American authority by
the military agents of the Carranza
government, what will become Of the
underlying, the real, issues between
Washington and General Carranza?
Returning some prisoners who ought
never to have been made prisoners
settles nothing. 1t does not restore
the soldiers who were ambuscaded
and slaughtered at the same time. It
does not insure that more ambus-
cades and more slaughters will not
take place. 1t is doubtful whether
any act or volition Of any authority
in Mexico could insure that; but it
might try, and try so earnestly, as to
convince of good faith. &.' -
The fundamental issue Is that
Carranza has declared that II: our
troops move south, east or west-in
any direction except back toward our
own border-he will attack them and
destroy them as Boyd's command
was attacked and destroyed; and
that President Wilson has replied to
Carranza that in spite of this notice
Of the de facto government of Mex
ico-our troops will follow bandits
whenever they strike the trail.
So what does the return of our
captured troopers mean? Does it
mean that after issuing an ultima
tum, our Government Will not follow
bandits in any direction except to-
ward our own border? Or does it
mean that whenever Carranza's
army cuts small bodies of our troops
to pieces and then sends the surviv-
ing remnants back to us as a token
Of his desire for peace, we shall be
satisfied? If that is the next chap
ter in our Mexican policy the Ameri-
can people will demand its early re-
vision.

THE GREAT GERMAN PLOT

The remarkable thing about this
German plot business, brought out
anew in the Tauscher trial, is the
amazing gullibility of the wise birds
at the head Of it. A comic weekly
hayseed, buying an option on the
Woolworth building for the price of
a shave, might pose as a Solomon
beside these supposedly deep and
artful emissaries Of the Kaiser.
Just recall the testimony given by
Wolf Won der Goltz, a ne'er-do-well
young German. deserter from the
American army, an inveterate rover
from the age Of sixteen. This unpre-
possessing specimen is seized upon
as the agent of the plotters. Accord
ing to his confession and his state
ment on the stand, he is sent here
and there about the country, is pro-
vided with dynamite, fuses, pistols,
electrical devices. He and a squad
Of assistants are kept in funds and
their bills are paid.
At last the explosives get as far
as Buffalo. The plotters plot, and
come and go, but nothing comes of
It all. Won der Goltz finally tires OF
the game, or can get no more funds
or possibly is seized with the desire
to be of some real use to his Father

story is told.

Not only does Washington send exact
ly four times a. large a proportion Of
soldiers as the whole country. but II
sends almost twice as many as the
State that comes second on this roll Of

Washington sends zs2 soldiers to 10000

the States yet Il sends only 156 soldiers

THE RAILROADS GOOD WORK

Evidence already is at hand, in
connection with the movement Of
troops and supplies to the border, Of
unusual cooperation Of American
railways with the War Departments
needs.
Conferences of railway representa-
tives from various parts Of the
country resulted in the naming Of
one practical railway man in each
section to handle the exit Of troops
and equipment from his territory for
all roads. All this was done so
easily and quietly that it has at
tracted little attention.
For the first time in many months
fast trains and flyers" have been
delayed SO that the Government
might have the right Of way. Trains
en- route to the border have been
marked ~. S. Immediate" and ey-
erything else has given way to them.
In respect to railways the country
found itself thoroughly prepared.
This fact recalls that the same
thing held true in Great Britain at
the outbreak Of the war. In CONT
mental Europe, especially in the long
stretches of Russia, there was diff
Guilty at. first. But Great Britain,
unprepared in many aspects, found
railways ready, and expert railway
men prepared, to move all the troops
and supplies the British war Office
could ship.
Railways played an important
part in war as early as our own civil
strife. They figured in the Franco
Prussian war. They have been an
important; factor in the Boer war
and other African campaigns. Now
thsy. are recognized by military ex-
|'perts all over the world as a pri-
mary factor in. war movements. It
isaa sterling commentary on the ef-
fciency Of the American railroads to
net Chat all the War Department
had to do in the Mexican emergency
was 10 call in a group Of railway Of
ficials and indicate what was needed
The railroads did the rest promptly
efficiently, and without fuss.

THE MANUAL TRAINING TEACH.
ERS

Manual training teachers in the
Washington grade schools not only
are claiming a deserved recognition
for themselves, but they are urging
a needed N reform In the school
system when, they demand that
their salaries be placed on . par
with those Of regular teachers in the
grades. Their fight for q reasonable
wage, started before the Board Of
Education yesterday, will elicit SYM
pathy from all who know Of their
work. .''.;
It is anomalous that the pay of
these teachers should be ridiculously
low at a time when efforts are being
made to vocationalize the schools.
Their work directs hundreds Of pu-
pills to the trade field they wish to
enter. Yet the highest wage they
can get at present is that equivalent
to the pay Of third grade teacher,
though they teach seventh and
eighth grade pupils. Likewise their
pay is less than It was twenty-five
years ago, owing to readjustments
in the school pay rolls, in which
their claims seem not to have been
considered.
These teachers properly point out
that manual training instruction is
largely individual, that they come in
contact with pupils Of many schools.
and they must combine the skill Of a
good mechanic with a knowledge of
pedagogy, though their pay is far
less than that Of a mechanic. Their
salaries now run from 500 to 81 900
a year, scarcely living wage.
Other grade teachers may reach
nearly $4,000. The scale of the
manual training instructors needs re-
vision upward.

Chairman Fitzgerald Presents
Startling Figures to House
As He Asks for More. .

Since II met IN December. Congress

The session to date has authorized

These startling figures were presented
to the House by Chairman Fitzgerald.
Of the Appropriations Committee. when
he called up an urgent deficiency bill for
$27.000000 to cover the cost Of mobilixing
regular and national guard troops on
the border.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said further that APP

Fitzgerald Not Complaining.
Congressman Fitzgerald wasn't COM
planning about the outlay Of money, but
he rather significantly informed the
House that the appropriations OF the
current session have reached the bill
Hon and-a-half mark. The appropria-
tions last session were Sl.ll4,0OU.OOo. and
those Of the year before but Ss.vO1ut
more.
Much. Of the increase OF this session
has been due to national defense de-
mauds. but money Is being spent rapidly
on practically every branch OF the Gov

It appears certain that when other de-
.ficiency bills are brought In the appro.
priations will run considerably over

A LIFELONG OBLIGATION.

In the January Woman's Home
Companion the Rev. DR.. Charles E.
Jefferson, pastor of the Broadway
Tabernacle, says:
"Whatever else a grown-up son may
be released from, he never %outgrows
the obligation of honoring his parents.
So long as they live, he owes them a
reverence which he owes to no one
else. However busy he may be he
owes them some of his time. What
ever may be his attainments, and
however exalted his position, the law
of God holds him to flial veneration
and love.
eff the son., having become a man,
continues to live under the paternal
roof, he must not forget that he is in
his fathers house, and that at many
points his fathers wish should be con-
sidered law. No son, in the twenties

cause of his age in recklessly disre-
garding the expressed wishes of his
parents, and in declaring by his con
duet that he will exercise his legal
right of doing what he pleases. At
tention to the parental voice is beau
tiful in sons of whatever age. Con-
s|iderateness is always lovely, espe-
cially when shown to ones parents.
Boorishness is never so ugly as when
manifested by grown sons to their
father or mother. Little boys can be
boisterous and rude without lacerat-
ing the hearts of their parents, but
when boys become men, they cannot
speak harshly to their father or moth
er without having their words hurt
worse than a stab or a blow. A
grown son who acts the boor in the
home of his parents is a barbarian,
however polite he may be in society"
