clear to Congl e%ssionai leaders tonight in un-
equivocal terms, as the climax to q day of
confusion, uncertainty and political marauv-
ring that marked the opening of his real
fight with Congress. As if to emphasize
that the Presid ent absolutely refuses to CON

the attitude of Congress is settled, it was
made known that the United States does not

by the German Government that all British

ticallv ali British merchant ships employed
in trade between the United States of Ame-
RIGA and the United Kingdom have hitherto

by the German Government to sink all Brl-
fish merchant ships at sight because Of their

justified. This is clearly proved by the state

FUTILE BLusTER.

Asking whether Candidate Hughes attacks Presi-
dent Wilson's Mexican policy have scored the New York
Evening Post answers itself follows:
I'VE think not. All this looks like strainng. Gov
ienor Hughes acts in this affair much he
just ordinary humdrum Republican orator. striving
hard to issue our part we do believe
that the people will respond this kind of reiterated
railing at Wilson They will get tired of it long before

Isuaon does not give them something quite different to
thin kabout these reincarnations Huerta
lseem fatguing and poihtless than
but what chiefly CRATES upon sensitive in
these Mexican passages by Hughes their harshness Of
spirit their lack of considerateness and their OF
imagination.
"Mr Hughes has the air Of hitting when he is
down. We don't hitting Wilson. He will have to
take end of blows But why be disdainfu of
fortunate people NJ. Hughes to be of the Mex
cans? Not word of allowance pity for them
capes his lips
"To listen to him you would think that Mexico had
strong and wicked government which forever infct
ing outrages upon Americans and setting the United
States defiance Mr.. Hughes speaks of the need of
firm attitude toward Mexico just if it question
Iof standing UP great power that impairng
American rights Nowhere is there hint of the revou-
tions struggles desoations and mseres which
have for the past three years made Mexico nation to be
dealt with in the most longsuffering way by strong
neighbor"
The Mexican situation, in the opinion of Mr. Hughes,
opinion which has deteriorated to deuson af-

it has proved boomerang But course, having harp

BORDER RIGHTS.

In his DetFoit speech Candidate Hughes famboyanty
declared there is border line United States rights
Implying, of course that such border line had been
recognized by Mr. Wilson. Very thin very unconvincing
There is border line There never was border
line, there will be border line United States
rights.
American rights always have been protected beyond
THE border ne-o the very limit They protected
in little affair at Tripo They protected in the
gloomy days of 1912, They protected during the
Civil War.
But it is thing to protect rightly and effectively,
quite another mouth about border lines 1t does not
necessarily require shot and shell and bayonets the
shrieks the wounded groans the dying give
protection to Americans. Calm Judgment and the right
eousness of right itself often may accomplish without
la respect greater than victory in battle could achieve
The rights of this country during the Wilson regime
have been protected beyond border limits and in way
make every citizen proud of his citizenship and the
tive head Of the government All such the
pant candidate is freely emitting will prove per-
iauasive with the voters in the United States.

WAR AND EGGS.

"The iron ring is growing tight,
they shorten it most every night.
Each day they hurl the Germans
back and then again take UP the
slack.
"They count it lost when days
sun goes down upon no trenches won;
and count it lost when mornings
light shines ON no trenches swiped by
night.
ut is a very nifty war, this fracas
we are paying for
"For we are helping pay the price;
the rise in bread and milk and rice.
and carrots, snails and artichokess
with which the dealer smiles and
soaks us is what we pay for the war,
He says himself that's what it's fer,
and if you like a bloody fight you've
got your moneys worth all right.
"The Russians win a hundred feet
and then UP goes the price Of wheat,
the Turkish hordes advance verst
and we pay more for liverwurst, and
then the Frenchman stirs his pegs and
we pay more for candled eggs"

is in the standpat camp. The Pro-
gressives have not look-in so far as
his Keynote is concerned The speech
appeals to the old guard and the old
guard approves 1t is a standpat affair
fro mgarret to cellar. Hughes seems
to hink that when Roosevelt and Per
kins joined him there was no further
cause for worr yabout the Bull Moos-
iers. The New York Tribune is not
altogether happy over its candidates
alliance with the German-American
talliance, and puts about it in this
fashion:
'It would be idle to pretend that
the portion of Mr., Hughes address
which deals with the Lusitania mas
sacre and our relations with Germany
is satisfactory to the Tribune. Nor
shall we undertake to make any such
,pretense."
But the Tribune has to be regular
and join in with the German-speak-
ing press in suppor of Mr.. Hughes.
