Guarding Against Extortion.

Agents OF the Department OF Justice in New
\ lork and other important commercial centers
have received instructions from Washington. ac-
cordlng to published reports, to keep close
watch for evidence OF speculation in food pro-
ducts and other supplies which will be required
IN enormous quantities for the armies in Mexico
and on the border. They have been ordered to
report Immediately to Washington anv circum-
stances indicating the formation of comb nations
OF dealers to increase the prices of such COM
moditics. All persons believed to be guilty Of
such practices will be prosecuted without delav
Considering the vast sums Being spent for army
supplies, including no less than $looooooo for
motor trucks IN the past ten days it is easily
apparent that proper vigilance on the part of its
agents may save the government enough money
to build flotilla of submarines at least
As result of this price supervision it is not
improbable that the administration may also OBJ
tam information that can be used to its ad-
vantage IN another way One Of the issues it
VIII be forced to face in the coming campaign
Is the high cost OF living In spite OF the promise
held forth in the Democratic platform of 1912
prices OF many staple articles of food today are
as nigh or higher than at any time. since the
civil war. Extortion when the government is
in the market for war supplies is unpat-iotic az
well as dishonest but extortion, with the con-
SuWing public as the VICTIM when no wa threat
ems the country is not to be condoned, but
should be prevented or punished. 1t may well
be believed that prices of many of the neces-
saries OF life are far higher than conditions war
rant and there is room for suspicion that in some
cases dealers or combinations of dealers are re-
SponslbIe. The governments efforts to protect
itself IN purchasing army supplies may reveal
everyday practices that warrant action bv the
!egal authorities There seems to be no plausi-
Die excuse for the high prices Of many articles
that are on the dinner table of everv American
family daily, and the administration will have
to answer for them, it should be interested in

The Habit of Being Trapped.

How came this small detachment Of the Tenth
Cavalry to be caught in that fashion at Carriza1.

strength, scouting toward the Juarez- Chihuahua
railroad where Mexican troops were pretty sure

Two months ago, a party OF the Thirteenth
cavalry got into the same trouble-at Parral

capped with few casualties Those men stumbled
into trap, and backed out The men of the
Tenth were unable to back out But If the for
mer affair unlooked-for tteachery was there
not reason to expect similar reception after the
Mexican general commanding in the north had
given positive notice that anT movement on the
part OF our troops except to get out, would be
resisted, and had distributed his forces in a
way to make the threat effective?
Manifestly if his challenge is to be taken I'D,
only forces strong enough overcome resist

should be prepared for treaohery surprises and
traps.

OF the war as viewed from Washing
ton. II was not to stop with the re-
lief of the Cubans. Troops were to
be sent to the Philippines to take
military possession of them. General
Miles had been ordered from Cuba
to Porto Rico. The power Of the Uni-
ted States. once afield. was sweeping
I the island possessions of Spain into
its sudden empire on both sides of
the world.
By the 18th of August, the day after
the peace protocol was signed at
Washington, all things were ready
for the hostile movement at Manila
and the place was easily taken by the
American troops. AgUinaldo's forces

venture.
When the peace commissioners met
at Paris in the autumn to frame their
final agreements. the United States
demanded and got all that their arms
had touched; Cuba for the Cubans.

the tiny island of Guam by the way.

While the armies of the United
States still lay with their lines
drawn about Santiago CJuIy 6, 1880
joint resolution had passed the
two houses of Congress which provid-
ed for the annexation Of the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States and
CoHsummated the revolutionary pro-
cess to which Mr.. Cleveland had for
little while given pause.
OF a sudden. as IL seemed, and
without premeditation. the United
States had turned away from their
longtime, deliberate absorption in
their own domestic development.
from the policy prOfessed by every
generation of their statesmen from

barrassing entangIements Of foreign
affairs; had given themselves a colo

courses OF their life could reasonably
wonder al the thing that had hap

Tomorrow War of Resistance.
The Washington herald., 1916-06-29

In the Philippines Admiral Dewey had
waited until troops should be sent which
could capture Manila and take military
possession of the islands. But he had
not waited without armed allies.
The Philippines, like Cuba, had been
the scene of frequent rcbellions against
Spanish rule. Peace was. indeed, but a
little more than four months old when
Commodore Dewey received his orders
from Washington to attack the Spanish
naval force in eastern waters. and Emilio
AguinaldO. the one-time chief of the in
surgents, was at hand, in Singapore,
should the American commander wish to
avail himself Of his advice and aid.
Commodore Dewey sent AguinaldO word
to follow him 10 Manila with all possible
despatch. and he was given passage
from Hong Kong on the American gun
boat McCUlloch. His Influence with the
people of the island OF Luzon was well
known. Young man though he wa,
scarcely turned twenty-nine, they We're
his to command, so Strong a hold had
his frank manners, engaging interest in
reform, and subtitle power to turn men TO
mis- way of action taken upon them; and,
for lack of troops from over sea, the
American commander was willing to sup
ply him with arms and ammunition and
put the men whom he should muster in
position to hold the country round
about the city until the transports should
come out Of America and all things
should be ready.
To make such an arrangement was to
play with fire. 1t was not clear, il could
not be clear, what was to be done with
the insurgent army thus set afOot again
by American aid when the troops Of the
United States should arrive and the con-
quest of the islands be finally made.
Moreover, judiciOus lockers on won
dered not a little to see the plans of
the war so widened Commodore
Dewey had been commanded TO de-
stroy the Spanish fleet in the East
but he had not, so far as any one
had heard, been told to take Manila
and set an insurrection afoot in
LuZon.
1t was significant that troops were
at once hurried aboard the trans
ports at San FrancisCo.-Significa
