New Hope for Mexico


Z EVERYBODY save that small but highly
IL vocal minority that clamors for interven-
ton in Mexico is gratiiied by the increasing
promise OF some satisfactory solution Of the
Mexican problem General Carranza has dis
patched another note, and doubtless it will
reveal yet more of his rhetorical ability and
fondness for resounding phrases, but in
Washington the prevailing opinion is that
the first chief, whatever he may say, is in
clined in action to be reasonable
This does not indicate that all danger has
been averted With considerable American
forces in Mexico and on the border, with
bandits and cientifcos united with American
jingoes in efforts to force intervention and
with smolderng hatred ready at almost
any moment to break into fame 1t is much
too early to expect final adjustments
we cannot remove our troops, however
annoying their presence may be to the de
facto government. If Carranza renews his
demand for this action he will know in adj
vance he will meet with refusal. Before the
United States can consent to relinuuish the
duty of protecting the border, 1T must be we'll
assured that all likelihood of bandit raids has
passed. If there must be armed clashes and
small battles, we prefer that they take place
on Mexican rather than on American soil
There must be no intervention in Mexico
save on compulsion. Despite the statement
OF Senator Fall--that marvel of statesman
like wisdom and military sd gacity-that nine
tenthS or the MeXicans would welcome their
countrys occupation by American troops the
much stronger probability is that such action
would unite all Mexican factions against the
invader. 1t was with the thought of forcing
intervention, and thereby consolidating Next
can sentiment, that Villa made his desperate
and murderous raid-and Villa proba bly
understands his countrymen good deal
better than does Senator Fall
Intervention would mean the eSpenditure
OF hundreds of milions-perhaps billions
of dollars and the loss of thousands of lives
This nation is not anxious to pay such price
for the privilege Of Furnishing some parties of
half-civllized guerrillas. There will be no in
tervention, it is safe to say. unless Carranza
forces President Wilson's hand
There are editorial casuists. 1t is true. who
say we have interviewed already, basing their
conclusion on the fact that American soldiers
are in Mexico without the enthusiastic an
prevail of the de facto government Speaking
with strict logic, this may be true but the
real difference lies in the spirit and purpose
OF the expedition and of those who dispatch
1t. In this sense we have not interviewed
If the first chief and his advisers keen their
heads, the ultimate disaster will be ayerted
II they lose their heads now, they will GER
tanly lose them again at somewhat
later date.

Postmaster-Generars Activities

A S Investigations the order Of the day.
"A a member of the House of Representa-
tives has introduced resolution ca ling for
an inquiry into Postmaster-General Burle-
sons activities in forming an alleged post
Office lobby. AT the same time, it is
nounced that this lobby has been opposing
certain measures advocated by the railroad
lobby. Enlargement Of postal savings facili-

the activity of the Postmaster and

to what might be termed congressional
courtesy" have worked for the public good.

SEEN ON THE SIDE
He just Will Not.

Said Colonel Theodorus
Unto the elephant:
why will you not restore us
To pork-pies elegant?
You know the lads are pining
To get back to the trough;
That they've done little dining
Since they were driven off,
And then that wise old creature
Winked with wise old eye,
While TO his former teacher
He made this sage reply:
Il know the boys are yearning
For what they've been denied.
They're weary OF sojourning
Far up Salt Rivers tide;
These hungry days do bore US
Most terribly-that's true
But still, dear Theodorus.
We Will not fall for you"
