If War With Mexico Comes,
The World Will Know 1t
Was Not of Our Making

President Wilson's policy toward Next
co has been one of great forbearance,
one of patience and hope.
His policy toward this wretched coun-
try of miserable people has been that OF
q father toward his hayward son, the
stronger toward the weaker, trusting TO
time and maturity to reveal to the cur
tanned eyes the wiser course.
His policy has been an accurate inter-
pretation of the best thought, the best
spirit and the best judgment of nation
of Christian people claiming to lead IN
the march of civilization.
This policy has been harshly criticised.
It's furtherance has been made hard
because it offered scant protection to
American capital placed in Mexico to ex-
plot the country.
Hence the criticism.
But the policy has won; the honor OF
the United States, has been preserved and
it will be Witt honor that the United
States gos6stokxar with Mexico If war
comes. H
This p6iicy en- hd Secretary Lansing
addressing the Tier of this government
to the people of Mexico through their de
facto government, to say, without ques-
ton or challenge from any source:
Can the de facto government doubt that, II the
limited States had turned covetous eyes on
MEXICAN territory II could have found many
pretexts in the past for the qualification OF us
desire? Can that government doubt that months
aso when the war between the revolutionary
factions was in progress, a much better oppor
unity than the present was afforded for Amer
can intervention, IL such had been the intention
OF the United States, as the de facto government
insinuates 2 sWhat motive could this govern
uent have had in refraining from taking ad
vantage of such opportunities other than unself-
ish friendship for the Mexican republic?
What President Wilson waited for and
hoped for has not taken place in Mexico.
He had faith that the people of Mexico
would succeed in getting real represen-
tation in their government, but they
have been unable TO do that thing even
with the moral support that we have
given them.
The country is in the hands of ire
sponsible bandits who have crossed the
border to this country to kill and burn
and rob with the same audacity that has
marked their villainy in Mexico.
The administration in Washington has
reached the conclusion that Carranza is
not SO much incapable of putting stop
to these border raids as he is unwilling,
and has sign4&ed to Carranza that pa
thence and watchful waiting are at an
end and hope has been abandoned.
Let us all invite the Almighty to spare
us the necessity of war with Mexico, that
the limit of service asked by these sons
of mothers who have so nobly answered
their country's call will be police duty
on the border for defensive purpose only.
This should be our attitude up to the
very last moment.
Then If war does come, we can turn
once again, with President Wilson, to
vvindication for watchful waiting in the
Lansing letter and for the satisfaction
that it was neither our choice nor Of our
making.

EIJFAULA

Eufaula, December (Special.)-H. c. Heath has presented his resignation to the Barbour county board of revenue as farm demonstrator, effective at once, and has returned to his former home at En- terprise. At the last meeting of the commissioners the salary of the demon strator was increased from $1200 to $15O0 a year, but when the board held another meeting few days later the action was reconsidered and the salary reduced to the original figure, whereupon MT. Heath presented his resignation. He has made a very efficient man and it is probable that the board will not have an easy task filling his place. Mr. Heath served two years, covering the entire county. which is one of the largest in the state, by automobile. The board is now laying nlaus to secure another man.

 ter.
 As a matter of fact. what valuation
 has the average layman been placing upon himself as an asset in the church? Simply this He has been glad to pay 8 reasonable assessment, and to come to the church on pleasant Sabbath :; but as to the Sunday school the prayer service the work of Sunday school teacher, the call to be personal work ker-he is busy with other things, and is suprprised that it is suggested that these things merit his serious at tention. This view and it's consequent neglect of opportunities for growth and service, has meant spiritual loss to men,

At the Biiou

This week at the Bijou theatre the new symbolic and allegorical drama, Which One Shall I Marry?" which is reported to have been making a sem sation in the International circuit, will be the attraction.
 It will open tonight and matinees will be given on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. This play, while it has pleased the patrons of the popular priced theatres. will be we'll worth the attention of the patrons who ap- preciate a clever performance.

LEGISLATION NEEDED

An entire session of the convention will be devoted to the necessity Of leg islation, authorizing cooperation among American exporters who are now lndl- vidually obliged through the doubt sur rounding the application of the antitrust laws to foreign trade, to cope With gov ernment- encouraged combinations or for- eign rivals and often to sell to com- binations of foreign buyers equipped to 6epress the prices of American products. The necessity for enactment of the Webb bill now before the Senate, will be sub ject of an address by Robert Il. Patch- in secretary of the National Foreign Trade Council. and the necessity for CO., operation in the export of natural com modities such as lumber, copper. farm products, as well as manufactures. will be emphasized in each of these lines.
 Because of the attention to be given at this convention to the subject of CO., operation, the National Lumber Export CTS association has decided to hold its annual convention in Pittsburg begin ming on the 24th. Foreign buyers of American lumber have so effectively played one set of producers against an other that the industry is in dire need of the relief promised by the Webb bill. John D. Ryan, president of the Ana corda Copper Mining company, probably the most diligent business advocate of export cooperation, will speak on this and related subjects at the banquet. Chairman Edward N.
