Suppose Tammany had polled by its

less and demoralizing-the votes neces-
sary to give New York to both Wilson

The Mexican Crisis.

| 1t is reported that acting under in
| struetions from President Wilson the
American members of the joint commits
| sion. now in session at Atlantic City. are,
If they have not already. about to pre-
! sent stipulations to the Mexican com
missioners virtually to the effect that
! the United States will withdraw its
troops from Mexico only on condition
that Mexico undertake in good faith to
clear the northern part of its territory
of the bandits who are now menacing
| American interests and lives
| The situation has drifted along for
weeks without satisfactory results being
reached Further delays are intolerable
The United States is under a heavy ex-
| pense in the maintenance of its expe-
dictionary force. without power to act
in self-protection save within its own
territory. The Mexican government is
evidently impotent or disinclined to
suppress banditry in the northern states
and outrages continue throughout that
region virtually without check or pun
ishment. Impossible demands have been
presented to this government through
the commissioners in session at Atlantic
City, requiring immediate withdrawal of
the troops without guarantees. Further
negotiations along these lines can be
of no possible use and merely serve to
prolong an unbearable situation
As at present understood, the Ameri-
can proposition now is that if Mexico
cannot assure this country of an eff
fective administration in the northern
states the United States must use its
own forces to restore order. This would
be no less than intervention, which the
administration has steadfastly sought to
avoid from the outset 1t would involve
a further invasion of Mexico and the
institution of veritable warfare against
the brigands, against whom the forces
of the Carranza government appear to
be unable to make any headway what
soever: In all probability such course
would lead to state of war with Mex
leo.
In all probability the America pro-
posal will be met by pleas for delay for
opportunity to consult the authorities
at Mexico City. Long delay is not like
ly to be granted by this government,
whose patience has already been strain
ed by the inability of the Carranza gov
ernment to appreciate this duty toward
the United States in the premises.
Further patience would almost certainly
be regarded as sign of weakness, and
advantage would be taken of it to pro
long still further parley that can lead
to no definite conclusion save under the
specific assurance of action by the
United States.

A New Move at Athens.

After a lapse of some weeks, during
which the situation at Athens appeared
to be quiescent, a sudden move has been
made by the entente powers, which
seems likely to precipitate the long de-
layed crisis. Peremptory orders have
been given by the French admiral, in
command at the Greek capital, for the
ENJOYS of the four central powers to
leave Greece by tomorrow 1t is ex-
planned unofficially that the cause of
this action is the discovery that the Ger
man naval attache has been engaged in
espionage. If the ENJOYS do not de-
part of their own accord they will be
deported, on vessel provided by the
French.
Unless the time limit named by the
French admiral is extended there will
be no opportunity for Germany, Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey to make an
effective protest against this action. In
deed, the case is practically settled with
Greece is no longer an autonomous gov
ernment. King Constantine is not in
control of his own kingdom. The real
ruler of Greece today is the ranking rep
resentative of the allied powers, whose
commands are now recognized.
This anomalous situation has arisen
from the fact that King Constantine has
failed to observe in full the obligations
imposed upon his government by GER
tain early treaties under which England
and France have rights which are su-
perior to those of other powers. The
kings pro-German inclinations have,
moreover, been in conflict with the senti-
ments of his people from the outset. He
is today king by sufferance. Venizelos

Conflicting Reports From Monastir

A striking conflict appears in the dis
patches regarding the operations around
Monastir, just captured by the allies.
According to reports from London the
Serbs and French are pursuing the Bull
gars beyond the city to the north in an
effort to cut off their retreat, taking
| many prisoners as they advance. On
the other hand, from Berlin comes the

are holding their own and actually doml-
nate the situation in the plain within

thing is wrong in these reports. If the
Bulgars are in flight north of Monastir.
with the Serbs and French in pursuit,
there is no security for any force which
holds the heights just above the city.
An interesting fact is noted in dis
patch from Berlin stating that German
troops have arrived at that front to re-
inforce the Bulgars. In what numbers
these reinforcements have come is not
noted Plainly, however, it is to the in
terest of Berlin to check this move
ment of the allies. if possible. If it is
continued the security of the eommuni-
cations between the Austrian and Ger
man bases and the forces operating in

is the dominant personality and the
titular head of revolutionary govern
ment which has been established in GER
tain parts of Greece, centering in Crete.
Acquiescence by Greece in the sum-
mary deportation of the ENJOYS of the
central powers leaves her no more ex-
posed to reprisals by them than she is
at present. Her territory has already
been invaded by the Bulgars and has
been the scene of much fighting. Greece
is practically in the war today, though
without declaration and without the par
ticipation of her army, yet her navy has
been commandeered by the allies, and,
manned by their forces. is doing duty
as a patrol in the Aegean and the Ad-

The NAVY.

The naval estimates for the next fiscal
year show an increase of sixty odd mil
lion dollars over the appropriations for
the current year. Good. Let us hope
Congress may accept them.
We have entered upon an era of big
figures and big things. The two go to-
gether. A large establishment cannot
be supported on small allowance. A
giant cannot be kept physically fit on
scraps from table.
That Uncle Sam is a giant nobody will
deny That he should be kept fit needs
no argument. That he has work to do.
possible, is equally incontrovertible.
There is no point upon which the
American people are so generally agreed
as that our navy is too small. Dis
cussion lies as to how much larger it
should be, but not as to the insufficiency
of its present size.
And in considering the increase, pro-
vision should be made for the best. We
need the best. and have the money to
pay for it. What we already have is
of a high quality; and we should not
fall below that standard. The Presi-
dent, after his conversion to the policy
of preparedness, spoke for IAN incom
parable navy; and the utteranee was
we'll applauded.
Let us guide by that recommendation.
Why not "an incompatible navy?"
What power has more at stake on the
sea than We? And when the war is
over, and the new order of things is
set in motion, and an American mer-
chant marine. of size to meet the re-
quirements of an increased foreign
trade, is af1oat, an American navy to
match. so to say will be absolutely nee
essary.
The campaign of 1912 is behind us,
and with it two propositions that We
shall probably not see advanced again.
One was that the high cost of living
grew out of the policy of protection, and
the other that we had been wasting at
least three hundred million dollars an
nually in extravagant and indefensible
appropriations. All moonshine, as the
developments of the past three years
have demonstrated. Notwithstanding
the whack at protection taken by the
Sixty-third Congress, the cost of living
has been steadily rising, and notwith-
standing the change of governmental
control from one party to the other, the
party that brought the charges of ex-
travaganee has made all previous fig
ures look like thirty cents. So that we
are dealing with matters now freed
from past misunderstanding and mis-
representations, and should have the
courage of our later and fuller infor-
nation.

Another war on Tammany The re-
