AMERICAN FLAG FIRST TO
CROSS OCEAN ON STEAMSHIP

6NHE first steam vessel crossed the
Atlyantic ocean in 1919, about year
after the adoption of the American
flag as we know 1t now, and it flew the
American colors.
The Savannah, built at New York by
Francis Pickett, was a vessel of 300 tons
burden, and was still on the stocks when
William Scarborough. wealthy merchant
of Savannah, Ga, who was anxious to try
the effect of steam navigation on the high
seas, bought her as she stood.
The boat is described as having a fuel
storage capacity of seventy-fve tons OF
coal and twenty five cords of wood, with
her wheels SO constructed as to be re-
movable in stormy weather She was
launched August %, 1918, and started on
her first outside voyable. trip from New
York to Savannah, on Sunday, March Is,
1919 Stephen Vail of Morristown, n. j..

April 6, she reached Savannah, where her
consignee, Scarborough & Mckinnee, I'M
mediately advertised for passengers and
freight to make the transatlantic voy-
age. to start May 20. They waited. but
there was no response; there was much
enthusiasm and intense excitement. but
no one wished to risk either life or prop
erty on board the Savannah.
The owners. nothing daunted, started
on the goth of May as advertised. though
the boat did not venture upon the high
seas until the o5th With the Stars
and Stripes flying from the stern of the
ship, she steamed ahead, her voyage
being uneventful until the 18th of June,
when the Irish coast was sighted. On
the 18th Lieut.. Bowin of the kings cut

the impression from the volumes of smoke

There is an army of kind. There are
more generals in proportion to the num-
Der Of privates than is customary in the
United States or in Europe. but this

in all the bandit warfare of the last
five years.

A POLICEMAN OF GUADALAJARA.

So much has been written about Gen.
Obregon that there is little to add. Car
rama lives and moves in his shadow.
Whether il really was his purpose to
seize power and make himself die
tator, backed by his own state of So
nora and by such other sections of Mex
leo as he can control. must remain a
mooted point. In doing so he simply
would be following the Mexican Gus
tom.
Gen. Pablo Gonzales is less known in
the United States, although he has
shown marked capacity as a military
commander. He was a miller in the
little town of Monclova when the revo
lutionary troubles began. AT the period
when Villas star was rising and the
victory of Torreon seemed likely to
make him dictator of northern Mex
leo. Gonzales stubbornly refused to
let Villa enter his own territory. which
included Tampico. He took Tampico
from the Huertstas without Villas help.
1t has been commonly understood
that carranza relied on Gen. Gonzales
to offset Gen. Obregon. So long as the
Carranza government can play these
two principal military chiefs against
each other il has some show of main
tanning itself in nominal authority, pro-
vided the economic situation and the
financial crisis do not cause 1t to fall
from sheer weakness.

ton than Gen. Gonzales, and in the

United States he is likely to become

How much of a Mexican army there
really is must remain matter of con-
lecture. Usually the figures are great
ly exaggerated. but whatever the num-
Der of troops there Is doubt that
the mass of them are now in northern
Mexico 1t is questionable if there is

Recruits may be found for the Mexi-
can army, just as for the army of the
United States, but in the case of Mexico
there would be little of a voluntary
nature in the recruiting. Compulsory
military service there would be a sim
pie matter. The poems would be told
to take up arms, and If they did not
they would be shot. or rendered so
helpless that there would be nothing
else for them to do.
This has been the method followed
by all the revolutionary chieftains in
recruiting their armies. When Villa
needed more soldiers in any particular
region he made it impossible to pur-
sue peaceful callings in the fields or
in the mines Where the poems were
still slow to join his army. he and the
other bandit chiefs would kill some
of them as an example.
Gen. Obregon, when he entered Mex
leo City after the abdication of Huerta,
followed almost similar tactics. He
did not shoot the people. but he inaug-
urated a policy of enforced starvation
which enabled him speedily to fill his
depleted ranks. The poor people could
at least get some sort of living when
they enrolled themselves as soldiers
battling for constitutional liberty
The present-day misery of Mexico is
so great that it may be assumed she
could not sustain a war for any length
of time. Yet this is a somewhat vio-
lent assumption, for the vast mass of
the population has been so accustomed
to the barest means of existence that
il could probably go much longer than
is usually supposed.
Financial resources. in the event of

would not delay to seize these mines
as means of Gripping the enemy.
All these mineral and other resources
may be considered sources which bring
in revenues from without. There are
also the cereal crops, some of which
have been exported even when the
Mexican population was in the direst
need. The situation has been not un-
like the expectation of potatoes from
ireland during the famines sixty or
seventy years ago. The petty military
chiefs have profited by exporting the
food of the people for whose liberties
they were supposed to be fighting.
War would stop these expectations.
and the Mexican population, at least.
would have the product of their own
soil to live on, so far as 1t has been
practicable to put in crops during the
period of anarchy. There is the rich
agricultural state of Jalisco. which has
suffered less than almost any other
part of Mexico. Under peaceful cul-
tivation its crops would feed a good
sized army, as well as the civilian pop
ulation. The fine city of Guadalajara,
the capital of Jalisco, is an evidence
of what Mexico might be under con-
tinued good government and the de-
velopment-ef the peaceful pursuits in
a productive farming district.
Any theorizing as to Mexico's pre-
paredness for war should not ignore
the matter of munitions. Even a toll
cradle army cannot get along without
munitions. Mexico could get nothing
from Europe.
Arms and ammunition heretofore has
come from the United States. Under
the policy adopted by the Washington
administration of encouraging Villa
and the other revolutionary chiefs. the
embargo on the expectation of arms
and ammunition which President Taft
imposed in accordance with the spe-
cial act of Congress, was lifted and
they were allowed to get all the arms
in the United States that they could
pay for or get credit for.
1t was the arms and ammunition
from the United States that Villa and
his followers used in numbering Ameri-
cans 1t is American arms and ammu-
milton that the Carranza government
would depend on in the case of actual
supply. however. could not last very
long. and this might be one of the
means of insuring an early peace and
relieving the mass of the Mexican peo-
pie of their misery. Not long ago il
was given out that A munitions fac
tory had been established in Mexico
city and that hereafter the govern
ment would not be dependent on arms
and ammunition from without, but this
statement was ridiculous
Mexico's munition factory cannot be
seriously regarded as an element in her
preparedness for war.

Yucatan hemp, which, through the ex-
port tax. brings the government a
large revenue, would cease to be a
source of income. since the crop is alb
sorbed by the United States. American
farmers themselves would feel the in
convenience in the shortage of binding

The Carranza government has en-
joyed considerable income from the
government did before it. Both Amer
lean and European oil companies pay
very largely for royalties. This source
of income would be closed down at
once through the presence of an Amer
lean blockading fleet at Tampico.
The operation of the mines would cease
almost entirely, since there would be no
means of getting out the bullion, and
in spite of the incessant disturbances
of the last five years Mexico has man.
aged to export a considerable quantity
of bullion.
The history of the Mexican silver
mines is too well known to call for re-
capitulation. 1t is probably not far
from the truth. as has been stated by
statisticians, that one-third of the
worlds silver stock has come from
Mexico.
All the revolutionary governments.
from Villa to Carranza, have made. an
effort to keep the mines and the smelt-
ers in operation. because of their inn
portance as a means of revenue. A
serious difficulty has been the efforts
of the various minor chieftains to
blackmail the foreign companies. These
companies have acquiesced philosoph-
ically in blackmail on large scale,
nominally in the name of the state. by
the principal military leaders, because
1t did assure them some measure OF
protection, but the petty chiefs have
been SO greedy that they have defeated
their own ends in many instances.
The aim of Carranza government was
declared to be to secure the reopening
of the mines in Hidalgo. in Guanajuto
and in the Parral district, but it was
only partially successful. When the
first punitive expedition. under Gen.
Pershing. entered Mexico. the road to
of annexation. This was not true, and
it is to be observed that Gen. PERISH
ng's troops did not hold to the road to
Parral, but many of the ignorant Next
cans were made to believe that one
purpose was to seize these mines. Most
OF them already are owned by Amer
leans.
There are coal mines at Sabinas. in
the state of Coahuila. near the border,
which were owned by French compa-
MES and other foreigners. Their opera
ton was taken over by the CarranZa
government when it got control in that
district. If the United States actually
