THE MEXICAN

OF course we know nothing of President Wilson's in
~tentions toward Mexico. He agreed with the representa-
.tives of Brazil, Argentine and Chile to recognize Caranza
as president of Mexicoy~ and ~ 9aa~asAeafrbe seer he 10
waiting for that special bandit to conquer a peace in dis
.tracted Mexico. But affairs are becoming very danger
Gus in that country. The people of this country are be-
coming greatly incensed, and if a few more murders OF
Americans are committed, there will come such situation
as there was after the Maine was sunk in Havana har-
Dor, as there was in Texas after the Alamo massacre.
There is still another danger. With Americans a good
many other foreigners are being killed and their property
confiscated and when peace is declared in Europe, there
will be accountings for all these outrages demanded, and
the demand will be liable to be upon the United States at
least indirectly. Mexico is filled with renegade looters
and murderers and the outrages are liable TO be continued
indefinitely unless they shall be stopped by force. 1t looks
as though Caranza never can conquer a peace there.
1t looks as though the wise thing for our government TO
Ido-unless there are legal reasons to the contrary-Woulc
be to go to Carranza's support; to go with a force that
would be a notice to the malcontents in that country 10
either quit their atrocities or be killed.
In this western country there is just now an organized
effort to stop the rabies among the dogs by killing the
coyotes. That is just now what is needed in Mexico
though the coyotes there are so crossed that it is almost
impossible to distinguish the honest dogs from the wolves.
But it is manifest that the outrages there must be soon
stopped or the situation will become simply intolerable.
1t was a great mistake to advise Americans to get out OF
Mexico. The notice should have been not to the Ameri-
cans but to the Mexicans and the tenor of it should have
been that if any American lives were sacrificed, prompt
retribntion would Weekly.
