of a special constable, or volunteer po

without malice by Paris paper Just
after the last Zeppelin raid, when
the orders against showing lgnts were

as in becoming a special constable ne

the badly shaded light, but suggested
a contrivance for subduing the illu-
mination. This continuance. he said,
he had tried in his own house with
the most satisfactory effect. All with
the most disinterested air imaginable.
His next step was to draw from his
overcoat pocket sample Of the con.
trivance itself, with the remark that
he had just happened to be carrying
it home to a particular friend who
had asked him to procure it. The
result was that at the end of his
tour Of duty he had written down in
a little note book couple Of hundred

meant that he was able to collect in

OUR DUTY.

It is inconceivable that any true
American could want war for wars
sake.
We are not that kind of a people,
and our interests do not lie in that
direction.
But we are confronted with sit
uation in Mexico which is calculated
to exhaust the patience of any per-
son with an ounce of red blood in
his veins.
1t was time that we stop quibbling
and do some real acting. The action
of President Wilson in calling the
state militias is commendable.
Our states bordering upon Mexico
are raided with impunity by the out
laws that infest the northern section
Of Mexico. Our citizens are MUIR
dered and outraged and their property
stolen or destroyed. The defacto
government of Mexico appears to be
not only pOwerless to prevent these
forays but we have every reason to
believe that the authorities are max
ing no effeort whatever to check
them.
Every American city or town on
the border is in constant danger of
invasion by bandit followers of Mex
lean leaders.
On Thursday a troop of Carran-
zistas trapped and murdered several
American soldiers. Other soldiers
were taken prisoners.
Under these conditions the duty
of the United States is clear
The citizens on the border are our
own people, the soldiers who were
trapped our own people, they are
our own flesh and blood.
We do not covet a foot of Mexican
territory.
We do not want any trouble with
Mexico if it, can be avoided honor
ably. But conditions in that country
. have reached the state where nothing
but. war will be of avail.
