Torres Is little more than boy.
When we took the road again he told
me his story. His father. he said.

district They had little to eat and
when, six months aga, Alvarez at the
head of fifty or more bandits told him
there were food and new clothes TO
be had in abundance in grinS0 stores

been raised. he said, To hate the grin

He claimed he had not been in
the actual raid on the Deemers store
bur he admitted getting his clothes
from some of the raiders who had.
HE told how the band broke into
pairs after an American pursuit be-
came certainty. He had hidden in
the desert for three nights until his
tongue was swollen and black and he
thought he must die of thirst. 1t was
then that he went to the water hole;
though the hole was covered by Amer
lean cavalrymen, and begged drink.
He expected, he said, to be shot,
but he wanted to drink first. Then,
as he went on. he begged me To inter
cede for him. lie showed me Il bit
of handkerchief. that was his moth
ers. He showed me bit of ribbon
that his senorita had given him as
token of love and luck.

The American troops are to remain
in Mexico, at least for the present
Obregon, the Mexican general, who
represents the Carranza government
at conference with General Scott
asked that the American troops be
withdrawn, but our government can
not see this in the same light as the
Mexican General does. Samuel G
Blythe, in the Saturday Evening Post
appears to have described the Mexican
situation exactly as it is. He says
that the capture of Villa would be
merely an incident. He states that
the United States will have to assist
the Mexicans in forming stable gov
eminent, sooner or later. The Mexican
people are starving. Their business
has been ruined. The Mexicans as a
rule do not understand our intentions
They believe that our forbearance is
a sign of cowardice. It will cost mil
lions of dollars and many lives before
this government will have placed
Mexico on sound footing. This gov
eminent will have to step in and dc
this or we may expect the European
countries to do it, as soon as the wal
is over. If we are to continue the
Monroe doctrine, we will have to take
charge Of the Mexican affairs for a
few years, whether we want to or not
In the meantime, it appears that we
might just as well keep our troops in
Mexico and save ourselves the trouble
of sending them down again.

kaiser the stigma of inhumanity and

The consequences may well be held
to be too terrible even for traditional
German courage and fortitude.. Such
a quarrel would be to Germany's own
seeking challenge to every neutral
nation of the earth. In the circum-
stances for what lengths of time could
the European neutrals stand aloof
from war aimed equally at them :?
Holland, Spain and Norway have join
ed in the protest of the United States
against the submarine policy in the
furtherance of which Germany broke
her PLEDGES it conceivable that
these nations would not join hands
with the United States if events
should force this nation into what
would appeal to them as a sacred
war?
There is still room for hope-hope
that the nation may be spared the
fearful visitation of war-hope that
the conscience of the German empire
will not have been appealed to in vain
when the inevitable presents itself.
Let us indulge this hope to the last,
with no shrinking from our duty and
with high courage to meet whatever
shall be our fate.

Every few days an accident occurs
thru someone's driving an automobile
too fast. Quite often one sees an auto
going up the street at from thirty to
forty miles an hour. Seldom is an ar
rest made, for the driver usually takes
the precautions to see that no minion
of the law is about when he exceeds
the speed limit, and the citizen who
witnesses the act does not care to
make a complaint. Sooner or later,
speeding will cause the death of some
one and then the law will be rigidly
enforced.

COURAGE AND HOPE.

St. Paul Dispatch: In the solemnlty
of a moment in which it may be de-
termined whether our beloved country
shall emerge in bloodless triumph
from her unwavering stand for hu.
manity, civilization and the reign OF
international law or whether it shall
be plunged into the dread maelstrom
of death and devastation which spell
war, let every true American be true
to the traditions of the land Of his
birth or adoption.
We stand in the gateway of great
events. In the history to be recorded
within the next few months, whether
it immortalizes the triumph of an
unselfish and tolerant diplomacy ex-
erted in behalf of justice and with a
forbearance unequaled in the worlds
story, or whether it writes the victory
growing out of an appeal to the God
of Battles, the United States of Amer
lea will be indicated. Let US, with
calm preparation await the justifica-
ton of whatever course events may
force upon us.
The situation is admittedly crucial.
We are on the verge of a rupture Of
the traditional friendship which from
the beginning has bound us to the
great German empire. In it's lightest
aspect it is a serious outlook. 1t is a
situation which has continued for near
ly year and which long has been
prevented from precipitating actual
hostilities, let us hope, by the cool,
judicious poise of the American people
and their reluctance to plunge the ma
ton into war except as last and
unavoidable resort.
But critical as the situation is and
determined as is our government to
uphold it's championship Of the rights
of neutrals and the observance CT in
ternational law, we need not vet sban-
don hope of such an adjustment as
will vindicate our position and avert
war. In spite of the gravity of the
status it is inconceivable that the
great Germanic races will insist upon
hostilities-that German foresight
will consent to add to the list of her
enemies the great Republic of the
West with it's vast resources Of men
and treasure and upon an issue which
fastens upon the government Of the
