 The resolution sets forth that for five years Americans in Mexico have been held for ransom and otherwise foulIy dealt with and demands that northern Mexico be at once patrolled by United States forces in order that lives and property of Americans may be protected and that such patrol be maintained until peace is restored.

ELOQUENT ADDRESS
 BY DR. STEPHEN WISE THRILLS AUDIENCE
Noted Publicist Lectures on "War" at the Gen. tral High School
 Last Night

War will not stop until women have a share in the government" said Dr. Stephen S. Wise in his lecture at the Central High school Tuesday night Prob bly, the largest audience that has gath cred to hear any Lyceum speaker greeted Dr. Wise of the Free synagogue, New York city, last night Much has been all ready said of Dr. Wise as a reformer, a teacher and a lecturer, and his several visits to Birmingham have made him a familiar figure in the city, but never was he heard to better advantage, or in more eloquent address than on this oc- cason.
 Dr. Wise spoke on "War Against War" He said in his introduction: Whatever else may hereafter be said about war, it will never more be needful to prove how disastrous and tragic and cureless are wars effects. The belief that man was horn a fighting animal and must for ever remain one is not the least of the ultimate causes of war.
 'The deepest cause of the war has been the faith that mighty armaments alone could avert war. When democracy comes to its own, the vicarious damna- ton, which is war in autocratic empires, will cease.
 ABSENCE OF WOMEN q hold'' said Dr. Wise. that the ab- sence of women from the councils of state is partially, if not largely, respon- sible for the continuance of the plague of war upon earth
 In conclusion Dr. Wise said: For us as nation, the great question which the war puts to us is not-what can we do for ourselves, or how can we profit from the war conditions, or, what advantages can we gain, but, what can America now do for the world; how can we best serve the highest interests of the nations-how can we best actualize the American principles of liberty and justice for which we Stand?"
