THE HISTORY OF THE PRES ENT Is BUT 4 REPETITION

A citizen who apparently favorS preparedness as . preventive ok laSar, says:
 The situation in Mexico, whereby Carranza has granted the United States permission to invade that country with her. troops, reminds sne of the man and wife, who when shey are having their domestic diff faculties. such as testifying their love and affections. by beating each other up. it bahooyes the onlooker to refrain from interfer- ing. as otherwise he is liable to get the worst of it.
 The same conditions exists in Mexico. The different factions will combine and the United States will find that she has her hands full Not only that, but while We are busy with Mexico some other Ma tion, probably Japan. will see her opportunity, and the consequences would be disastrous. unprepared as we are
 cannot understand why the Congress of the United States do not stop their dilatoriness and get down to the main issue, which is to put this country in position to repel foreign invasion,
 They who cannot read the hand writing on the wall' are consider ably obtuse, to say the least.
 Preparedness of 2 country does not necessary mean war, but an adequate defense will have a tend enc to make any nation hesitate before they invade country.
 The history of the present is but q repetition of the past. Go back in history and you will find that nation who enjoyed the longest period of peace were those who were prepared to resist az gresSion.
 Babylon fell because of her lax ity in this respect. The richest country in the world, at that time. as the United States is today, gave herself over to the enjoyment of wealth she had accumulated by hec eonquests, to dissipation and de bauchery, which caused her down fall.
 Rome held her supremacy as Mistress of the World to her leg ions, but internal dissension, and the folly of believing she was in vincible. thereby neglecting her wig ilance, was the means of her being overrun by the Huns
 Nations have aroused from ob- scurity, became great, sought az grandizement of additional terri tory, fell, and dropped back from whence they came
 So from the beginning of history the sanie thing has happened.
 Nations arise to supremacy, seek additional wealth, breeding the spir- it of greed; the morals of the peo- pie degenerate; the accumulation Of more riches leads to laxity; the people become supine, and another nation, taking advantage of con ditfons, invade the country, and the consequences are the downfall of the nation.

Paris, March 1.-THE battle Of
Verdun is fast dwindling in intensity.
The Germans have in no way impaired
the main defenses of the fortress, not
withstanding the violence of their on
slaughts. Whether they will make an
other big effort after hull or wheth-
er the battle win end, as did the other
great offensives on the western front,
by return to trench warfare, cannot
be discerned at present, but French
military opinion is inclined to believe
the latter will be the case.
On the west bank of the Mouse the
Germans, facing an effective curtain
of fire from the French have made
no further attempts on Bethincourt.
They contented themselves with win
ming back, at heavy cost, portions of
Corbeaux wood, which were wrested
from them on the preceding day. The
determined nature of the attack there
indicates the Germans evidently in
tend if possible to drive through Cum.

and get in between Dead Man and
Goose hills. This tkay nearly sue

solidly established there they would
be able to attack Goose hill from two
sides, as Hill No. 265, to the east OF
Goose Hill, is already in their pos
session. If Bethin court were carried
IN the meantime they would be able
to repeat this process against Dead
