VILLAS LAST STAND.

AS in all news concerning war and
trouble, there are conflicting reports.
The American people really do not
know what has happened in Mexico. 1t
is TO be doubted if the official United
States knows much more.
One thing is certain the American
troops are in the territory Of Villa,
and have somewhere encountered
forces under his command, although
he might have been miles away.
The capture and death of Villa will
not end the strife in that turbulent
land. The real trouble has fairly be-
gun. Many of the followers of Villa
fght because of a faith which they
have in their cause. Much opposition
can be found in Mexico especially III
the northern part, to the government
OF Carranza. Villas death will not
end this, but allow the rise of some
other soldier, be he bandit, brigand,
general or fighter.
The situation in Mexico deserves
more than the attention of the war
branch of our government. Some def
mite plan must be worked cut by our
government before Mexico can cease
to be thorn in our side. AS lang as
American capital is invested in the re-
public to our south, just so long viii
there be a continual dissension in our
politics and in the government of
Mexico.
Villas death will not end all-anI
his end is certain. AS surely as he
ives, he will be captured starved out,
killed. He may continue for a season.
but few months will mark his fall, if
not at the hands of American troops,
it will be at the hands of some internal
force.

TO AUGUSTA, THE HEROIC
LOSER.

Facing her ruins she stands,
With calm courage, free from de.
spair;
Aand with backward glance, willing
hands
Bravely turn to the work that is
there.
Few words of repining are heard,
AS they face desolation so great,
And surely must come the reward
This effort deserves to create.
The forest of chimneys which stretch
Through the blocks that were once
happy homes,
Stand mute with the power to touch
Thee heart of each person who
comes.
In this district so stricken and stark,
With a ruin which words cannot
paint,
1t has come to the people who work
And alike to the homes of the great.
And now to Augusta the brave,
We hope that the merciful God,
Will grant that your future be saved.
And so bring your well-earned re-
ward. R. C. HOOD.

Of some Americans attempting to
throw the United Statese into war with
Mexico The president referred to a

which were mainly catering to this
trazen piece of work. The president
did not mention a nance, but facts can
be taken by the American people to
suNstantiate a belief that he is refer
rig to no less undesirable than Will
liam Randolph Hearst, and a string
CT his newspapers which know moth.
ing. except a box-car headline, with
BLOOD and thunder literature"
The Atlanta Constitution had the
following editorial on this matter,
winch is very interesting:
AS matter of justice to the many
patriotic newspapers which have de-
voted their utmost effort toward the
prevention of that sort of Intervention
il Mexico which would bring about
useless and disastrous war, President
Wilson should not hesitate to carry
out his recently expressed threat to
put his finger upon and name those
newspapers of the yellow" journal
class which are doing their utmost to
embroil us in a bushwhacking fight.
Thhe president has charged that
there are certain newspapers in the
United States of the so-called yellow"
class, which are making every eeffort
to bring about such intervention GA
the part of this government in the
Mexican situation as would result ia
prolonged warfare of the ambuscade
type.
While there would be no question es
to the outcome of a contest between
this country and Mexico, 1t would be
more than foolhardy for us to embarl.
III an unnecessary warfare, the result
of which would be disastrous to the
United States, regardless of the re
suit.
We do not want Mexico. We have
no earthly use for it, and we have made
that very clear to the Mexican people,
II fact, President Wilson las made
it so clear that thus far nc material
objection has been, offered to the enc
trance of United States troops into
that country, in pursuit of an assas-
sin who crossed the border and slaugh
tered innocent women and children,
Our only purpose there is to get this
man and administer to him and his
following such punishment as is mer-
tied. This purpose has been under.
taken and can be carried out with the
consent of the Mexican authorities,
and without involving the two govern
ments in a struggle which at best
would involve in the aggregate an eX-
penditure of hundreds of millions, ann
perhaps billions, of dollars before the

work was completed.
1t is as incomprehensible as it is un
fortunate that there should be any one
in this country, newspaper or other
wise, who, for personal or any other
reason, should seek to bring about Il
struggle which might result in the
loss of some thousands of American
lives, not to speak of its tremendous
cost.
If there are newspapers, as Presi-
dent Wilson has charged, which are
seeking to bring this sort of bloodshed
and destruction upon their own coun-
try, it is the presidents duty to ex-
pose them, and let the country know
just what are the influences back of
this apparently reasonable conspiracy.
If publicity will prevent this catastro-
phe, by all means, let us have it.
