IN COMMUNION WITH THE WILDWOOD.
The partners, with their guide,
followed the Hopewelldale trail for
some distance, and then turned off
into the painless woods. At noon
they arrived at a most romantic

ant with maidenhair fern and wild
flowers. Here they spread out their

The Mexican Fiasc0.
In Five Acts.
SYNOPSIS
ACT I.

Madero seated on the throne. IN
seated by Huerta and his adherents.
Murder and rapine the order Of the
day. Villa the bandit. Carranza
not much better. Zapata cut from
the same loaf, and other lesser
lights, all show dissatisfaction.
America also shows dissatisfaction.
Banks along the border, but with
out its bite. Hardly knows which
side to throw its dice. Riotous
sailors carouse in Vera Cruz, are
arrested for their faults, and re-
leased. America indignant. The
arrest insults the U. S. flag Huerta
asked to salute the flag and apollo
gize. Is man of nerve, with Indian
blood in his veins, and believing
himself not at fault, he apologies
but refuses to salute. Americans
fire on and take Vera Cruz.
ACT II.
Villa, Carranza and Zapata GUST
Huerta from the throne Every
body runs it. Villa shows the most
strength, though Carranza is at the
head. The Americans cater to both.
Villa and Carranza split. Americans
side with Villa. They furnish him
with arms and really assist his cause.
In turn he protects Americans on
Mexican soil all but those he doesn t
like. He is idolized, interviewed,
pictured and praised by the Ameri-
can press. Wonderful speeches
which he never uttered, are printed
as issuing from his lips. The Ameri-
cans withdraw from Vera Cruz.
ACT III.
Villas power begins to wane. AS
it Wanes, so Wanes the American sup
port 1t sides with Carranza-the
rising sun. Villa scowls. The
gringoes are turning him down.
When the U. S. begins to back Car
rama, in like manner as it backed
him, and cuts him out, his scowl be-
comes a rave. Being a bandit, and
unused to the Bible text of Forgive
your enemies" he not only raves,
but acts. He knocks out few
gringoes and shoots up Columbus in
spite. America rises in arms.
ACT ".
Regardless of all national rights,
or stretching certain rights, Ameri-
ca invades Mexican soil. 1t at
tempts to run Villa down. Carran-
"a consents, The consent is not
from choice, but the result of tot
tering throne. 1t is a policy con-
sent. He follows the invaders with
a jealous eye. So do all Carranzar.
ties and Mexicans alike. 1t is
wonderful-this American dash-a
thread of gossamer through bound
less waste. Promotion is talked OF
for Funston, and Pershing and other
leaders, alike. But that which they
ride for is not to be found. II
tweaks its nose at them from g
thousand hills. And other nations
laugh at this gossamer thread-ol
would, if they did not have troubles
of their own.
ACT V.
This act is now on. 1t may enc
in a fasco, or general war with
Mexico, and may not. Carranza
has ordered the gossamer thread tt
draw back like rubber band, anC
it refuses to do 50. So there you
are. This much is certain. Tit
longer Villa remains uncaught, tn
greater will his Mexican powe
grow, and the less liable is he to b,
caught. Sometimes it is better tt
face an issue from the start than tt
avoid it by walking around it. TIL
walk-arounds are so liable to NEE
with membranes to make then
appear ridiculous. Has this no
been the case in the "walk-arounds'
with Mexico?

MILITARISM.

WILL thhIOWs - Herbert QUICK
conceives of only two respectable
possible positions" of the opponents
of militarism, l. E., that of those
whose ethics forbids resistance and
that of those who regard the invasion
scare as a chimera, presumably or
iginated by the social thanatophidia
who make war tools for profit.
He omits categories, including the
logical position of the proletariat,
whom the bourgeoisie would arm and
train to defend, to-wit:
Our fair land, including most of
Americas acreage which no longer is
ours; the beaches whereat we may
not swim; the mountains which we
lack carfare to visit; the magnolias
we never have scented, and the
forests, lakes and valleys bearing mo
trespass" signs.
Our institutions, including blue
laws and "Berbotene Gesetze"; Com
stockery; the Mann act; child sla-
very; absentee landlordism; and the
third degree.
Our kultur, including pan-partisan
political chicanery; our Goldfish aris-
tocracy of diamonds, dudes and dogs;
our village idea of meum ct teum:
and our national holiday april u.
Our industries, including speed-up
systems; prison contract labor; the
munition plants; the stockyards
Jungle; the reserve army of scab
unemployed; the Pennsylvania 12-
hour day and 7-day week; the sweat
shops; and the interests of those who
corner anh-toxin and salvarsan.
Die for these! Why, we are dying
by them; and every man in the in
tellectual minority of the proletariat
feels that if he had 5-year old boy

them it would be well to submit the
child to euthanasia, since he could
never develop to beget children
