OUR WORK IN MEXICO.
A Series of Blunders, Lack of Fixed
Purpose and an All Around
Failure.

fallure
There are certain aspects of the
Mexican situation that all American
citizens should keep in mind. We hav.
been greatly occupied with Mexican
affairs while asserting that we were
standing aloof in order to allow Mexico
to fight it out and adjust her own tu
ture.
We forced Huerta's downfall by i'm.
placable opposition, exhibited In many
forms and including the seizure by ma.
val and military force of Mexico's chief
seaport, Vera Cruz. We favored the
CarranzaVilla movement and supplied
it with arms and ammunition.
Later on we favored Villa in his war
fare against Carranza. When Villa
failed we gave countenance to Car
rama and recognized him as head OF
the de tacto government.
The Villa elements were reduced to a
state of marauding and brigandage in
northern Mexico. Our abandonment of
them and refusal to supply them with
munitions emDlttered them, and they
sought to embroll US with the Carranza
government.
In this purpose they were remark
ably successful because of our lack Of
definite policy OF our own, and our
apparent inability to adjust ourselves
to facts and conditions.
Since we had undertaken to guard our
frontier, we might have guarded it
we'll. Instead of VIII ch we guarded it
badly. The bandit attack upon the
town of Columbus owed It's measure OF
success to che fact that the officers who
shouts have been on duty were off at
another town partaking in certain So
cial festivities.
10 chase the bandits across the line
and pursue them was SO obviously
proper that nobody of trained intelli-
eence would pause to scuss the ques
ton. And this was what our soldiers
actually did on the day of the raid.
But the authorities at Washington
proceeded to do something wholly diff
erent. Iney strained all the existing
resources of our regular army to or
gsnize military expedition for the in
vasion of Mexico.
Preparations occupied a number of
days. Villa and his appearing and dis
appearing little group of bandits were
by that time hundreds OF miles away,
with inaccessible hiding places, always
available IN mountain maZes where the
few inhabitants were Villas friends.
Without the consent and against the
protest of the government OF Mexico
which we had recognized, we proceeded
with Brltsh-like valor and British
like stupidity. without sufficient equip
Juent, to march southward about so
miles into the heart of Mexico. We
paralleled a RAILROAD built by American
capital, which we did not use because
the Mexicans forbade US, although it
was highly absurd not to seize 1T and
use It. We avoided towns and cities,
having argeed in advance to do so.
This was three months and halt ago.
The friction along the border became
much worse, because the Mexicans
were highly incensed. whether or not
with reason. We needed our troops to
protect the border; but Is, 600 of them
were halted uselessly on long line ex-
tending southward into Mexico. From

THE PEOPLE WILL RULE
In the Matter Of Revising Our State
Constitution.

In discussing the various steps to be
taken to revise the present Constltu-
ton of the state, Charles e. Gilbert,
Nashville. Secretary of the Tennessee
Constitutional Convention League. and
also Secretary of the Tennessee Manu-
facturers Associations, gave out the
following interview:
VOTERS WILL DECIDE 1T.
There never was proposition pre-
sented to the people of the state IN
which the voters had as much veto
power as IN the question of revising
the present Constitution. In the first
place, on August 3rd, the qualified
voters of Tennessee will decide the
question as to whether Constitutional
Convention is to be held. Every voter
IN the state who has paid his poll tax
prior to July 3rd and has otherwise
met the requirments of the Election
Commissioners, will be privileged to
say whether or not Tennessee shall
hold Constitutional Convention.
SELECT DELEGATES.
If this question IS decided In the
affirmative, then the same voters OF
the state will select, on November 13,
1916, SO delegates to the Constitutional
Convention. These delegates need not
ho Ot opu politiool fo,tb On Faof;op b,,t
can come from the rank and file of the
people to voice their sentiment IN re-
vising the present Constitution.
AMENDMENTS SUBMITTED To
PEOPLE.
'.On November 16, 1916, these dele
gates Will assemble in the Capitol at
Nashville, and organize for the purpose
OF drafting amendments to the present
Constitution. Again the people will
have an opportunity to express their
wishes with regard to the changes
which.are desired or necessary. 1he
people Of the state can go before the
Convention and present their ideas as
to what is needed to make the present
Constitution up-to-date and then the
Convention will decide upon certain
am mendments and these am endments
Will be submitted to the voters of the
state IN subsequent election, the date
of which to be fixed by the Convention.
VOTE ON AMENDMENTS.
"A ballot will be provided with each
OF the amendments printed separately
and the voter will have an opportunity
to vote for one or all of the amend
ments just as he desires, and the
which receive y ajorlty
Of the votes polled In that election, will
then become part of the Constitution
Of the state of Tennessee.
PEOPLE WILL HAVE A VOICE.
1T can therefore be seen, that the
people, from the beginning to the end,
will have a voice in revising the Con-
'uitutlon. Not only Will thsy say
whether {. Convention shall be held, but
they will have say in selecting the
in advising with them re-
yarding the amendments, and then H.
lally, they will have a vote as to
whether the amendments proposed will
)e adopted.
ALL SHOULD VOTE.
Every voter in Tennessee should go
% the polls on August 3rd and vote for
1 Constitutional Convention and then
ct differences of opinion as to what
should be adopted, be
ought out later on.

With regard to the Palembanr. the
report says:
Three explosions took place. The
first was caused by the explosion at
some distance of a drifting mine, which
was fired upon by a British torpedo
boat destroyer. After the explosion
the Palembang remained undamaged.
The second explosion was caused bv a
torpedo, fired at short range, which hit
the Palembang.
The third explosion was also a tor
pedo. This torpedo was aimed at the
Falenbang, because the British tor

report says:
The ship was preparing to cast
anchor at 2;20 a m, when she was hit

FROM Investigations made by experts
IL Is clearly shown that the pieces Of
