have not read history without observ'
ing that the greatest forces in the
world and the only permanent forces
are the moral forces.
Force will not accomplish any
thing that is permanent I venture to
say, in the great struggle which is
going on on the other side Of the sea.
The permanent things will be accom-
plished afterward when the opinion
of mankind is brought to bear upon
the issues, and the only thing that
will hold the world steady is this
same silent, insistent, all-powerful
opinion of mankind.
Force can sometimes hold things
steady until opinion has time to form,
but no force that was ever exerted ex-
cept in response to that opinion was
ever a conquering and predominant
force.

ANDUM IN REPLY TO LAM
SINGS NOTE.
REPLY RESENTFUL IN TONE
Memorandum Contains 50 CountS.-
Denies That Bandits Along Interna-
tionaI Boundary Line Have Been
Protected.-As to Huerta.

Mexico City.-The Foreign Office
| issued a memorandum in reply to Sec
rotary Lansing's recent note, in which
communication from Washington
were repeatedly denied. The memor-
andum declares that the United States
had no right to maintain its armed
forces on Mexican soil.
The memorandum contains IS
counts. Although not In the form of
a direct reply to the Washington note
it is considered equivalent to an an
swer to that document. 1t expresses
surprise that the Washington Govern
ment should have been panied at the
tone and the contents of the Carranza
document, since it maintains that the
United States has sent to the Const1tu-
tional Government not only one, but
many discourteous and even overbear-
ing notes.
Emphatica1ly reiterating the Mexi-
can Governments position denying the
right of the United States to keep
armed bodies in Mexico, the memo
randum denies theoretically that the
Mexican Government has protected
bandits who had committed depreda-
lions in the United States
Blame for the Santa ISABEL massa-
cree is placed on the so-called impul-
sive and irascible disposition of Char
les Watson, general manager of
Cushihuiriachi Company; and General
Scott and General Funston are accus-
ed OF bad faith and lack of honor
in misleading General ObregEn in an
alleged evasive reply regarTing the
crossing OF American troops into Mex
fco after the Glenn Springs raid.
The memorandum asserts that while
It is true that the United States ar
rested General Huerta, the motive
which prompted the act was not a
purpose of aiding the Constituencies
but because the United
States feared that General Huerta was
plotting with Germany.
The note concludes by declaring |
that the presence of American troops |
In Mexico invites rather than pre- |
vents bandit raids along the border. |
