ssr1v- one of the dozen other so-called
leaders They look alike, they think
alike, they act alike
if as seems probable, the Carran-
Vista forces are unable to prevent re
sistance being offered to the United
states troops seeking Nllla ana ms
bandits it behooves the United states
government to take into consideration
the fact that their announced "punl-
tive expedition" will presently develop
into nothing less than war with Mex
ice.
fTo wage war successfully in coun-
try like Mexico the elemental neces-
sity is IA great superiority of numbers
aHthc outset. To understand the rea-
son. it is necessary to understand Mex
ice.
Think Nc Are towards.
The average Mexican this moment
is firmly convinced that conquest OF
the United States by Mexico is well
within the bounds of possibilities. He
believes that Mexican forces are at
this moment in possession OF broad
strip of territory extending from east
ern Texas to southern California. tie
thinks we as a nation, are lacking il
all the qualities that go to make men;
that we are towards at heart and un-
able to defend ourselves against their
might.
We can clinch this opinion by our
own actions, if we send into Mexico
anything less than a preponderently
superior force of adequately equipped
soldiers Let the MeXicans score one
victory. however, relatively unimpor-
tant and our task Will be made in
superably greater than if from the
beginning we show the Mcxicans that
Wo are unbeatable.
The Mexican imagination is a weird
and wonderful thing. Let him mag
inc that he is the superior of his an
tagonist and his bravery becomes
1eonine. Let him imagine that only
defeat is the reward of valor and he
will break all existing records for
running-away.
Need 100000 Volunteers.
The resolution ! introduced in the
senate on the day of the attack on
Columbus would permit this govern
ment to take the necessary steps to
make it's action in Mexico short and
successful, with a minimum sacrifice
of men and money.
1t calls for 100000 volunteers. The
number is not eXtravagant. To ac-
complish what it will be necessary to
accomplish, before order is reestab-
lished in Mexico, an army of less size
invites unneceG sary losses.
For the one thing that is going to
impress the Mexicans with the futility
of resistance 10 a force which in itself
will overawe and dishearten them. II

Washington, March 15.-The house

to it's full strength was passed by the
house Tuesday without objection and
with only one dissenting vote cast
Chairman Hay. of the military COM
mittee, who brought in the resolution
Immediately after conferences with
war department officials, asserted that
this was necessary owing to the situa-

was passed in five minutes.
While there IS a difference of opin-

that will be brought into the army
under the resolution it is certain about
10000 men at least will be added to
the regular establishment.

MILLIONS
GOING BACK

tUnIted Press Leased Wtre.b
NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.--Mill-
ions of dollars poured into this
country by warning European
powers for munitions are to be
poured back into Europe at the
end of the war.
American curiosity to see ia
nous battlefields and the desire of
aliens to play part in rebuilding
the war-torn cities of their coun-
trymen, will send money flooding
back to Europe, according to In
dications at steamship Offices here
today.
Taking as an estimate, as view
ed by steamship officials, that
100, 900 Americans will visit Eu-
rope during the first year after
the war. and that they will spend
an average of $1,000 each, $780,
100000 will be returned to the
European countries within ~
months after peace is restored.
Europe will of course, be a
greater show place than ever be-
fore, after the war, steamship men
point out, and considering the
wealthy Americans who will visit
the continent as we'll as those of
more moderate means, the esti-
mate of $1,000 each as the
amount they will spend is regard
ed as low.

PORCELAIN TO
BE MADE HERE

from the finest porcelain manu-
featuring establishments abroad.
When the European war re-
stricted imports of clay from
abroad, the U. s. bureau of stand
ards at its Pittsburg laboratory
undertook series of experiments
with American clay to see IL it
could produce the fine glaze
which distinguishes the imported
product.
This glaze is produced by burn
ing the clay.
The experiments of the bureau
were entirely successful, and
American manufacturers were ad-
vised of the results, and OF the
fact that American clay, could be
obtained which, with slight treat
ment, could be made equal to any
of the imported clays.
Many of these are found in the
south, and are now being pro-
duced for commercial use.
Today there are two establish
ments making the best type Of
chemical porcelain from these
American materials, and others
are expected to follow in their
footsteps.
Samples of this American-made
porcelain ware are already begin
ming to find their way to market,
and a new American industry on q
permanent scale has become an
accomplished fact.

Twenty fast armored aero

one pointing forward and two

Flying high above this charging

The French filters swooped low

Prisoners report that this form
of attack had a remarkable effect
upon the Germans, who had sur
