Or to state it ooncretely, after Villa

Ordinarily, where there are we'll estab.

come an issue as any self respecting gov.
erument would punish such breaches,
and any demand for an outside force
or tribunal to come into its own territory
would be indignantly rejected. But Aus.
tria claimed that Serbia and Serbian
authorities were sympathisers with the
plotters against Austria, and that the
latter would not feel like searching out
and convicting the pletters against Aus.
tria. So in Mexico, there was no real
government, there was no prospect Of
punishment of Villa for past crimes, nor
yet for prevention Of future repetition Of
OF similar transgressions.
Will the invasion of Mexico finally
plunge ,all the countries on the American
continents into u war as has the similar
question done for the countries of Europe,

THE ISSUE THAT BEGAN THE
EUROPEAN WAR Is ALSO AN
ISSUE IN THE UNITED STATES.

The death Of Emperor Francis Joseph
OF Austria-Hungary recalls to many
newspaper editors the Immediate cause
Of the great European war. Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian
throne was assassinated in Serbia. The
Austrian emperor demanded that the
assassin and his sympathisers who were
claimed to be many in Serbia, be punish.
ed and that Austrian officers and police
forces be allowed to enter Serbia and en-.
force these demands. Serbia did arrest
and punish the assassin and some OF his
friends, but denied the demand of the
emperor to allow Austrian officials or
forces to enter Serbia for that purpose.
This latter was the direct cause of the
present European war.
We are calling particular attention to
this fact because it is practically the
same question as between the United
States and Mexico, and is the question
which has mostly taken the attention
and arguments of the Mexican Peace
commission which has not yet ended its
labors.
In brief, the question ls. whether
when country fails to punish crimes
committed by its own citizens against for.
eigners. whether the country to which
the victims belong, has the right to enter
tho former country for the purpose Of
puuishiug tho Offenders and incidentally

MEXICO.

The Mexican situation is again assu0-
ing rather alarming features. Villa ap-
pears to be gaining strength and has
somewhat of an army aud has lately TAX.
en- the town'of Parral and among OTHERS
has assaninated half dozen Americans
and some Germans as we'll as foreigners
of other nationalities.
Now the UNITED States has an army,
such as itsmay be, in Mexico sent there
for the purpose of arresting Villa for his
massacre at Columbus almost year ago.
Our army has been staying IN Mexico
since that time under orders of Caranza
not to go.farther south than they are
and there they havesstayed.
Meanwhile Villa keeps right on with
(hisvillany.
Again, the UnitedsStates Immediately
after the Columbus massacre also mob
Illized about all the militia available and
has kept them on the border as q sort OF
boundary guard at considerable expense
as we'll as inconvenience to the rank and
file. During all this time until the last
few weeks no Villa or other VILLAINS were
in sight, and the only bandits that the
militia boys had to fight were mosquito
es, centlpedes and horned toads.
But now, after election, but when some
V-llarists are in sight who are killing
Americans and other foreigners that are
under the care and prote :tion Of the
United States by.virtue Of the Monroe
doctrine, when there are declared and
known enemies in force in sight, then
we hear of these militia or parts of them
being ordered home and discharged.
Just now also there has been Apeaoe
commission" holding solemn concaves in
order to prevent further war with Mex
leo.
Putting all these things together, to
the outside observer, the whole "war.
policy" between this country and Mexico
appears to be about as ridiculous as
could be imagined, and the status of the
American army now in Mexico about as
absurd as 1t could possibly be.
An invading army, which dares not
move south because of Carranza, and
dares not come home because of the
shame ofit.
We were about to say we wonder what
the army officers in Mexico think OF
their position. but we will amend by say.

oes We know what they think and the
nay that they are expressing it (their
think) when they are in private.

THANKSGIVING.

How the years toll around. Here we
sre at the eve ct another Thanksgiving
day; at the time when we annually bal
ance our books 1f profit and boss, lndi.
vidually, socsaaty and nationally. To
,the few there may seem TO them q
balance against them, though possibly
they have forgotten to give the Giver of
all things due credit for goods received,
possibly the greatest and most common
of all.
Individually it is up to each person to
do his own bookkeeping, but socially
and nationally the books 'srs open to all.
Perhaps this year, we may be more
thankful for what are not rather than
for what we have. Nationally
if the question were asked, for what
should we be most thankful, the answer
would come from every citizen of this
country THAT we are not involved in
the Earopean war;"
Even with bare existence, with poor
crops and bad times generally, even in
that case our lot would.be so far in con-
trast to that of the warning nations chat
we would still be very grateful for our
own peace. But we are not only peace.
full but we are also prosperous. Per.
haps to some degree that prosperity
comes from the misfortunes of others,
but we still are prosperous. Peace and
prosperity We have in sufficient quantity
to allow US to say a heartfelt ''Thank
you" to Him who rules our prosperity.
But be who is truly grateful wants to
share his good fortune. otherwise his
gratitude is not very deep. We who are
SO thankful because we are at peace.
should not forget those who are deep in
the manifold uiseries of war. 1t is their
plight that makes US happy by contrast.
In your own comparative comfort there
should be pity for those who through NO
fault of their own. are filled with sorrow
and misery.
When you breathe your prayer of
thankfulness and blessing over the abun-
dance of your Thanksgiving dinner and
after the meal has been eaten with 80
much satlsfactiOn-don't forget to let
some of the crumbs Of your prosperity
fall to the destitute, the sick and suffer
ing who are around about the devasted
hattleields of Europe.
Just think what splendid show of
real gratitude might be had if each of
the twenty millions of families Of the
United States wouldespare few crumbs
from the bounties on the Thanksgiving
tables and small share of the Christ.

every warning nation of Europe at this
time. A million wounded men are in

Gratitude and charity are Siamese
Twins.
Yes, give thanks, but in deeds as we'll
