Ihat the men VINO must meet ana
try to come to agreement are not
supermen or gods, but plain human
beings as subject to silly prides, pas
sions and outbursts as anybody else,
and that one of them may put peace
again in deadly peril, we know well.
We also know we'll that empty
treasures confront all the Govern
ments. and that the streams which
should replenish them are beginning
to run dry
We also know well that hunger
and cold knock loudly at all their
doors--at England's door, at Frances
door, at Russia's door, at Germany's
door, at Austria's door--at the door
of every nation wasting its resources
and employing its laborers in de-
struction instead of in production.
These things are as plain as day
to any intelligence which is not abb
solutely blinded by war-lunacy, play
ing its absurd and fantastic tricks in
the sight OF heaven upon rational
good sense and reasonable judgment.
For these weighty and self-evident
reasons we believe that the Govern
ments, no matter what disguise of
resentment they may publicly put on,
will soon recognize the wisdom of
the appeal and the counsel of the
President and that we shall see q
conference, to be succeeded by a con-
gress in which the present and, as we
all hope, the permanent peace of the
world will be ratified and established.
AND WHO is RESPONSIBLE?
"A majority Of the American peo-
pie, in the East at least, have ceased
to think about the war in terms Of
the United States. They are pro-
British or pro-French or prO-German,
and non-American. They have for
gotten that their country has any di-
rect relationship to this conflict or
has any rights that it is bound to
protect unless those rights happen to
coincide with the aims of one set Of
belligercnts or another The Presi-
dents note is o definite assertion that
the United States has something or
it's own at stake, and that its standing
in court is not to be ignored. The
time has come, in his opinion, for the
United States to insist upon clear
and precise definition Of the aims
and objects Of the war from both
sides. When we have that, it will
he the less difficult to determine the
future policy of the United States
in respect to the war Itself If we
are in danger Of being drawn into it,
we certainly have a right to know
what we are being drawn into"
(New York World.)
And who is responsible for the re-
gretable condition prevailing in the
East, that majority OF the people
are pro-Biitish or pro-French or pro-
German, and non-American? No
body else but the "Northclifiian"
Apglo-American newspapers of the
East, which for the last twenty-eight
months have been more British ana
more French than the London ana
Paris newspapers, and never serious
ly objected to Great Britain throt-
tling one after another of our rights;
many of these newspapers even con-
done the throttling, because England
declares them to be military necessi-
ties On the other side the German
American newspapers have constant
ly urged that American rights should
be protected against aggression from
all belligerents.

ana so frequently tired TO impress
upon you.
The hatefuness and ugliness evil
dent in the newspapers and among
the stay-at-homes, and evident in the
senseless and mischievous utterances
OF American newspapers Of type
well known here in New York, are
not in evidence at all among the
soldiers--among men who are brave
enough to fight.
The overwhelming testimony from
the fighting fronts is that the fight
ing men respect the courage on either
side which delivers and repels alter
nately the terrific assaults and coun-
terassaults in which these soldiers
of England and France and Germany
have risen to the stature Of super
men, have done and over-done the
deeds OF heroes and demigods.
And il is because these millions 40
respect one another's valor anG
deeds, because these millions OF
brave men are sick Of slaughtering
one another, because the "cannonfoG-
deI'' has begun to think and TO be-
come articuIate, that we are firmly
fixed in the belief that the Govern
nents are secretly eager for peace
and that they all, in their heart Of
hearts, welcome the noble appeal in
which the President has voiced the
sentiment OF the American people.
That there are lions In the pain
way of peace we know well.
That there are huge obstacles to
be removed OF surmounted we know
well,

An Irishman called at the doc

with the information that his
two.months cid baby would not
sleep. The physician gave the
man some sleeping powders for
the baby, telling him to let him
know the following day how
they acted.
The next morning the Irish
man appeared, his face wreathed
in smiles.
well, how did the powders
work my man?" asked the doctor.
Thin powders, doc" replied
the man, "wuz a wonder! They

Auto For Policemen

Monroe, May 25.-The board
of aldermen has purchased an
automobile for the policemen to
use in answering calls to suburbs
of the city. Previous to this
time, the policemen have either
walked or used surries. The
alderman, however, have had
this move in mind for some
time to meet the necessity, and
today purchased the machine.
The city has a asplendid force
of officers, and with this added
facility, will meet every demand
made upon them.

Washington, March 23.-Grave ap-
prehensiOn regarding the outcome of
the American expedition into Mexico
in pursuit of villa was evident for the
first time in Washington last night
after receipt by the War Department
of a dispatch from General Funston
saying that report had reached him
that 1000 Carranza troops at Chihua-
hua under General Luis Herrera had
revolted and aligned themselves with
the bandit chief.
General Funston did not disclose
the source of his information, and so
far as could be learned, no confirma-
ton had reached the State Depart.
ment or the Mexican embassy.
Fear that the report might be true
was not disguised in official circles,
however, and last nights develop
ments were awaited with tense anx-
iety.

Columbus, n. NJ, March 23.-Gen-
eral Luis Herrera, until recently Car
rama military governor of Chihua-
hua, has renowned CarTanza and an
nounced himself in favor of Villa TAX
| ing the field in western Chihuahua
with 1000 troops, according to re-
liable information received here.
The exact place at which General
| Herrera's troops are encamped was
not indicated in the message which
reached Columbus from a source that
always has been found reliable. 1t is
believed, however, that. the troops,
most of whom recently constituted the
Carranza garrison az chihuahua City,
are somewhere between San Pedro
and Chihuahua and are preparing to
work north and west toward the Am
erican punitive expedition in the field
under General Pershing.
The sentiment of the people in this
district which lies about seventy
miles directly east of the Guerrero re-
| gion in which Villa began his days as
an outlaw, is strongly in favor of the
bandit chieftain. His success against
Porfirio Diaz for eight years during
all of which time there was a price on
his head, due to loyalty of the poems
Army officials believe that Herrera
and his command will have every pos
sible cooperation from the people of
the district.
The reports make an important de-
velopment in the American campaign
to capture Villa, according to expert
enced observers of Mexican military
affairs. 1t is pointed out that the re-
ported remuneration of the Carranza
standard by Herrera is the first to be
made by an important military leader
of the de facto government since the
American troops crossed the interna-
tional line.
The possible effect on other Car
rama leaders who have been reported
to be wavering in their loyalty to the
government first chief" was food for
much discussion.
No reports were received as to the
arms and equipment of the Herrera
command
General Herrera was military gov
ernor of Chihuahua at the time of the
massacre of eighteen foreigners at
Santa Ysasel.
