lives in Mexico.
He is styled the First Chief of
Mexico.
He thinks he sees-or he pre-
tends he thinks he sees-in the
Pershing punitive expedition into
Mexico the thing entering wedge
of Yankee war of conquest.
And all these thousands of
young Americans have been mo-
biliZed into camps and are held in
readiness to be sent to the Rio
Grande because of the contrari-
ness of this bewhiskered Spanish
Mexican person.
That Is why say the whimsi-
calities of world politics have me
guessing.
If it be the within of the senior,
all these thousands of Americans
must go South and sit FOR weary
weeks, perhaps months, perhaps
years, on hot sand.
Or, IL the senior relent, these
Americans may return to their
homes, their mothers, sweet
hearts, wives and families-and
their jobs.
Meanwhile, this prelude to pos
sible war is novel and pleasant.
Even the rockies in the awkward
squads enjoy themselves.

BY A REPORTER

The Wn1mS1callt1eS OF world
politics have me guessing.
Yesterday l was driving to
American lake when | caught up
with two Boy Scouts who were
Logging it along the road.
They were walking from Taco
ma to the lake to see the soldiers.
They thanked me politely, as
Boy Scouts should, and hoped
into the rear seat. The big broth
er of one of the Scouts is a SER
geant
There's a chance" said the
proud owner of a sergeant broth
er, that the Scouts will go to the
border, too"
l asked him IL he wanted to
go to the border, and tie said:
You bet," with fervor.
We discussed Scout law.
A Scout must perform at
least one act of kindness
every day. A mile back
farmers wife had turned her
cart aside to escape an au-
tomObile, and had spilled
crate Of canning cherries in
q the ditch. They had helped
~her pick up the cherries.
Having performed their act
of kindness, they pinned to
go to Mexico and kill Mexi-
cans.
Why not? They are using the
Boy Scouts in England 20 guard
railroads and bridges. They bet
the Americans would show those
Mexicans a thing or two!
They uttered joyous whoops
when the camp came in sight.
A thousand men brought to-
gether-why? World politics has
reached into their homes, into the
shops, stores and factories, and
fetched them forth. 1t has search
ed them out in the camps and on
the farms.
1t has taken them away from
the life they know; it has placed
them in city of brown canvas:
1t has chucked them into khaki
uniforms; it has thrust suns into
their unaccustomed handsAwhy?
In other states there are other
camps, much like this one. In
these other camps are otnor shoe
clerks, and bank clerks, and farm
ers, and loggers, and macninists,
and elevator boys, and drivers of
grocery wagons.
They, too. have left the counter
and the lathe and the desk TO
dwell in brown canvas cities, and
drill In khaki uniforms, With guns
why?
Some of them, too, have kid
brothers who are Boy Scouts who,
having performed their daily acts
of kindness, pine to slay Next
cans.
