The local board OF strategy held a
meeting in Forsyth the other day and
decided that the attempt to capture
Villa was all wrong; that the army
officers did not know what they were

FRUITS OF "WATCHFUL WAITING:"
President Wilson's "watchiul wait
ing" has at last borne fruit. For the
first time in nearly hundred years a
foreign enemy has had the impunity to
invade the United States, murder It's
citizens and shoot its soldiers. This
is what occurred at Columbus, New
Mexico, when Villa and his followers
invaded that town. And this is the
fruit Of Mr.. Wilson's "watchful wait
ing," the result which has been lore
told by everyone familiar with Mexican
conditions and the shittless, inconsistent
aud obstinate policy Of this Admins
tration. It is just what some at least,
Mr.. Wilson's own advisers. including
Secretary Garrison, have repeatedly
warned him would happen. Villa firm
" convinced that President Wilson was
too proud to fight" and that the
American people were too cowardIy
to avenge the most fagrant outrages
on their own citizens and counting on
the lack Of preparedness which this
Administration has to assiduously ios-
tered, actually invaded American ter

Meanwhile every hours delay is max

creasing the danger Of war--a general
intervention. The ablest officers in
the army have long urged upon the
President, through Secretary Garrison
the importance Of keeping the army
along the Mexican boundary supplied
with every requisite Tor quick dasf
into Mexico. They have believed tht
time must inevitably come when sucf
step would be necessary. and the!
have insisted that if it did arrive tn

tent TO which unpreparedness has grown
during the almost three years before
Mr.. Wilson changed his mind on that
subject. They assert that nine out OF
every ten requests for supplies from the
forces along the Mexican boundary
have been refused on the ground that
Villa and Carranza were patriots and
that, no matter what happened in Mex
leo, there would never be any order
from Washington to use the military

FABER NEEDS REST-IRON MAN
REQUIRED ON SOUTH SIDE
BY Mark Shields


Red Faber, White Sox pitcher, is a
HEAVIER of Undeniable worth, but the
Cascade curVer is only human.
When an attempt is made to convert
him into an iron man we discover he
is highly maIleable.
Faber has recently recovered from
a long and severe illness that kept
him out of harness for several
weeks. He came back with a good
game against the Mackmen, and
then showed his return was no acct
dent by beating Washington with
Walter Johnson pitching. The lat
ter happening came last Friday, and
it took about all of Reds strength.
When he started yesterday against
Boston it was plainly evident that he
had not been given long enough
period of rest. Even under the best
conditions Faber needs quite an in
terVal between games, and when his
recent indispOsition is taken into
consideration it is too much to ex-
pect that he will pitch two fine
games against strong teams in four
days.
The absence of iron men is liable
to be a severe handicap to Manager
Rowland in the closing days of the
pennant drive in the American
league. He has Russell, who can
pitch about as frequently as any man
in the league, but even the NAM
moth Texan can be OverwOrked, as
he indicated not so long ago.
Woifgang is fine little pitcher,
used in turn. So is Williams. But
with the exception of Russell, the
team is sadly lacking in lifeline
pitchers who can be thrown out to
rescue a slipping mate. Benz is
practically worthless at this line of
endeavorA Russell is the best, but
he can't do it all and then pitch good
ball for himself. Cicotte seems to
be the best bet next to Russell bIIt
