VERDUN

4 ready reckoner computes that up
to date the Verdun battle has cost one
hundred million dollars. The cost in
money is negligible compared with the
cost in lives and human anguish, but
the battle still proceeds-the most stu
pendous and protracted military en-
gagement since the appearance of man
on this planet-a fight that makes Wa
terloo seem like skirmish and Gettys-
burg a brush, and old-time famous en-
counters such as Agincourt and Crecy
mere scuffles The deadly desperation
of the conflict appalls the imagination
and shocks the moral sense. 1t lifts
the veil of glamor from the game OF
war Fix.

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

Alarming Profound anxiety mani
Tested at Washington over recurring
reports that the Mexican situation may
become seriously involved 10y a revolt
of Carran2a $ army, or an alignment
of Mexican bandits from one state or
another with Villa, discloses the real
situation. Bandits and hriEandage
rule in Mexico and one bandit is as
good as another The outsider who
interiors in a family quarrel always
suffers. When Huerta was chosen to
the presidency. even if he represented
only faction, he became the de faeto
head of the government and was recog-
nized as such by all the leading foreign
nations. except the United States In
spirit of the highest altruism Mr..
Wilson insisted that Huerta was not
properly chosen. lt was mistake Of
Judgment on his part. Mr.. Wilson in
his address at the Railroad Associa-
tons dinner in New York City speak
ing Of the Mexican situation said he
had been misinformed or lied to-and
presumably he was right. Had we
followed the example of Great Britain.
France, Germany, and Spain and rec
ognized Huerta and left the Mexican
problem with Mexicans to solve, we
would not be in the ugly mess that
now threatens to plunge us into q cost

WHATS THE USE

First it appears as amusing. but ae-
curately and finally it has to be brand
ed as a political free trade deception
the claim that the prosperity which
farmers are enjoying at present IS due
to the Underwood tariff bill Wherein
is the sense in keeping in the back
ground the fact that wherever prosper
ity looms up in America at the present
time it is wholly due to the European
war?
Why the need Of war tax, why the
astonishing falling off of funds in the
federal treasury, If the managers OF
government created prosperity
But for the great war across the At
lantic the captains of our government
shipwould, it is evident, have the same
laundering by contact with torpedo
made up of their bungling, inefficient
policies
What's the use of indulging in trying
to fool the people The Underwood
bill has less to do with the prosperity
the farmer than it has with the high
cost of living.
As clincher, the reader is asked to
weigh carefully in an unbiased scale
