HEARST'S MEXICAN ARMY
In signed editorial Willie Hearst
says he doesn't want an American
army in Mexico to protect his prop
eTty, but to protect the smaller and
weaker American citizen who can't
employ a standing army.
''The property in which I am inter
q ested in Mexico" says Hearst, lis
protected by a hundred thoroughly
armed men. l can take care
Of-myself and my employees in Mex
leo and elsewhere. But the
smaller citizen cannot employ a
standing army to give him the pro-
lection which his government ought
in honor and duty to afford"
Yet in a recent editorial Hearst de-
manded that Uncle Sam send an
army of 100000 American soldiers
across the border to occupy and paci-
fly Mexico. His theory is that if
few hundred Americans take a gam

value of Hearst's millionaire ranch

A JOB FOR Won BERNSTORFF.
Now that official Germany, through
Ambassador Won BernstOrff, has
urged German citizens in the United
States to obey the laws Of this cOun-
try, can't the ambassador go a step
further and use his influence with
the Chicago Tribune to get that I'M
American organ Of war and fTightfUI-
ness to quit knocking the United
States?
Its general war policy, both as to
Europe and Mexico, does not repre-
sent the sentiment. of the American
citizenship of Chicago or the state of
Illinois, and it apparently spares no
effort to embaTass President Wilson
in a great crisis when he is doing all
in his power to keep this country at
peace with all the world.
Being anxious for peace, not only
with Germany, but with all other
governments, we respectfully urge
Kaiser Wilhelm to use his influence
through Won BernstOTff- try to
make the Tribune be good and keep

1t is said that the Mexican term

is Il gbbernish from II refrain the
United States soldiers who were sent
into Mexico in 1910 used to sing, in
one line of which ran the words:
/" Green grows the grass etc.
The Mcxicans, with these words ring
ing in their ears, began to refer to
their subjugators rs the "green
grows, which finally resolved into
"gringOes.
One of the present-day popular melo-
dies among American soldiers has some
allusion to there being "a hot time in
the old town tonight, - and if the
Mexicans care to pick out an appro-
pirate term from that by which to en-
balm upon their memory the present
