Distrust

In his protest regarding alleged acts of hostility by
sacs1 troops in northwestern Chihuahua, the mayor
81 Ascension has touched the spot in the relations
tat--ss1 the United States and Mexco-distrust. He
80 the entertainments constructed by the Pershng
icons in the vicinity of Ascension not only an act
@ denredaton against the property affected but also
one ~ hostility toward the Mexican troops with whom
The Americans are supposed to be cooperating.
viewed through distrustful eyes, the Mexican off
cisrs nrotest no doubt seems well grounded Notwth-
~+.,5i1g American army officers have repeatedly de-
Cared the work was being done for practice to one
lbo fears the Americans do not mean what they say
the e1tre1chiug seems menaclng act.
To Americans it is easy to understand that Gen
PerebinU having an army in the field with only
mali Dortion able to engage in active campaigning at
" oven time feels it advantageous to give the troops
the benefit of whatever training can be secured in the
fel5 under war conditions Therefore, the construc-
lion of trenches at various places IN western Chihua-
bua Pareutheticay pictures Of these trenches impress
everyone with their excellence.
The Mexican viewpoint IS easy TO understand how
ever IF Gen avra for sake Of training for his troops
were TO set them to digging entertainments along the
Rio Graude there would be plenty Of comment IN E.
Paso The same would be true any other place along
the Mexican border 1t is unfortunately fact that
neither side of the line do put faith in assurances
In this instance however the mayor of Ascension may
safely consider his town IN no danger

Only Things Amazing Interest

One day, recently, the beIlgerent nations almost
suspended warfare land and carried It into the
There a German attack by seaplanes on the east
coast Of England; similar bOmbaTdment from Ger
man airplanes the French towns of Dunkrk and
Bergues; and then French squadron Of arplanes, by
way of reprisal, attacked three German bases in Bel
GUM and Belgian squadron bombarded another Ger
base.
Meanwhile, at various points along the front from
the sea TO Switzerland, British French and German
aTmen, sngly IN groups batted IN the air and many
crumPled craft, pungng earthward in flames carried
their pilots and observers to death.
It series Of highly dramatic aerial episodes
and yet now, several days afterward word of COM
ment has appeared It seems that d day Of warfare
waged from the skies aroused only the most casual
interest.
Fifteen years ago, such a story Of air battles aP-
peared IN the papers last week would have been dis
missed incredible Even in the period of intense air
craft development Just preceding the outbreak Of the
great war, it would have seemed almost unbelievable
Which merely proves again that IN this day of treen
dous news, nothing unless it occurs next
door.
A Las Vegas court rules that d brOOmstck IS not
deadly weapon. The statement is too general. The
deadness of that particular weapon varies It has been
observed upon the strength and the wrath of the female

Religious Views Change

Our view of what IS compatible with Christianity IS
certainly broadening-a cheering thought The Presby
terian general assembly is debating whether after
church services certain amount of outdoor sports may
not be allowable pointing out that Presbyterians in
Scotland have been able to bar the game of golf only
during hours of service The Methodists in their gen
eraI conference have seriously considered lifting the ban
against dancing, card playing and theater going And
now bishop Lambuth, addressing the New Mexico dis
rct Methodist conference at Roswell ventures the be-
lief that many men do praying than most people
believe He asserts for instance that the physician
whether or not avowedly Christian really PrayerfuI
when deeply hoping that his patient may be restored
to health that the scientist IS prayerul when anxious
to discover the laws which God has placed IN nature
The bishop might carry the thought further and
cede that all men, in strongly hoping toward some end
are consciously OF unconsOusy doing the reverence Of
prayer to an unknown power greater than their OWL
which they trust may help them attain their desires
In all the above there signs OF marked change
Of opinion There was time, well within recent years.
TOO when Presbyterans stood for Sabbath ngidly OBJ
served under the old Standards and when Methodsts
only would tolerate certain modern recreatons
and amusemeuts but could scarcely admit hopeful
for the future of not professedly Christian.
