The InterpentiOniStS SubSide.

The Intervention fever that high in
few naturally hOtheads week or two ago has
'abated The cooling influence came partly from
the President. who showed that he was not TO be
Isshed pell-men into reckless or needless ad-
Venture. and partly from Carranza's demonstrated
purpose to bring the Chihuahua bandits to speedy
and unsparing justice.
There was no red tape to the measures he took
toward that end. He promptly proclaimed villa an
outlaw and authorized any citizen of Mexico to
shoot him on sight The order applied also to the
cut-throats directly involved in the slaughter
of Americans. Two of the band have been captured
and summariIy executed. The remainder are being
pursued If they are taken. there will be long
drawn trials. Indeed, they probably will admit
what they have done as did the pair who shot
in Juarez cemetery last Sunday, and will die with
the pluck of their rough-and-tumbe kind. 1t is
rude sort of justice which Carranza is administer
ing law that brooks no delays; but it is the only
SORT no doubt, that would be equal to the present
problems of his troubled land
He is doing as much as he can to crush outlawry
and to protect the property and lives of foreign
residents. One observer remarks that "he could
do no more under the menace of American ar
tilIery." The fact is he could not do as much nor
could an invading army, unless it undertook and,
through long years of guerilla warfare accomplish
ed the country's complete subjugation.
The Intervention clamor. which now has sub
sided, doubtless will find renewed indictments But
il is to be hoped that the rank and file of Americans
will keep their heads in the future they in
the past, and that Carranza will be given a fair
opportunity to solve the hard problems before him.

The livestock Increase.

After decade or more of downward trend, our
livestock industry is picking up. This January
according TO estimates by the National Department
of Agriculture, the country has, in round numbers
twenty-five million mich COWS, a gain of about
three and half per within a twelvemonth
and thirty-nine and half million beef cattle, a
gain of between six and seven per cent. Swine
are numbered at sixty-eight million, FIVE per
cent increase. Sheep are reckoned at something
less than fifty million, slight though appreciate
decrease.
II is plain that the educational efforts to en-
courage larger production of livestock are yield
ing results This is particularly true of the South
Some years ago investigator reported that the
average farm home in Georgia produced less than
two-thirds of ounce of butter and two-thirds of
a pint OF milk day, and only one-third of a hog
ope-twelfth of beef and one-hundredeh of a sheep
year for each member of the family. We are still
far short of selfmaintenance in these necessaries
but, thanks TO a steady campaign for living at
home we are doing great deal better than when
the industrious statistician last here.
The collapse of the cotton market in 1914
forced Georgia and the South as a whole into
new era of crop diversifcatiOn. Along with a wild
ened acreage of grain and forage went an increase
in animal husbandry-mOre cattle and poultry and
pigs The system was justified so broadly last
year that may hope for its continuance and
extension in 1916.

King Constantine and His People

King Constantine shows himself apt in jour
nalism he is amenable in marriage. His latest
newspaper appeal to American opinion-the third
of its kind within recent months-is deftIy done
and altogether complimentary 1t is doubtful,
however that he has convinced any appreciable
number of us that the presence of the Allies in
Greece is parallel case to the German invasion of
Belgium. The record speaks too plainly to the
contrary.
French and British troops landed at Saonik
under the sufferance, if not at the invitation, of
the Greek people and with the tacit, if not the
explicit permission, of the Greek Government More
than year ago Venizelos, then premier, declared
in address to the king:
On account of all these reasons 1 conclude
that participation in the struggle is abso-
lutely imperative. Even if we fail, shall
preserve the esteem and friendship of power
full nations-those, indeed, who created Greece
and so often since have helped and supported
her. Our refusal to fulfill our obligations to
our ally, Serbia, would not only destroy
moral standing as a state, but would leave
without friends and destroy all trust in us in
the future.
venizelos no longer is at the helm but appar-
emily he still guides, is guided by, the sentiment
of his people. In the recent elections, which
designed to vindicate the policy of the throne, he
counseled his countrymen not to go to the polls.
The fact that the number of votes cast were only
some two hundred and fifty thousand compared
with one and quarter million in earlier cleo
ton, when Venzelos himself sustained, shows
how Greek opinion trends Technically, of course,
the nations neutrality has been overridden. But
really, there is little neutrality to override.
The people are pro-Ally.

The LuSitania Case.

1t is evident that the United States will not
yield any of the essentials of its original note to
Germany regarding the destruction of the Lusi-
tania Berlin's latest proposal of a settlement has
been rejected, according TO Washington advices
because it does not meet squarey and fully our
Governments basic demands. This does not imply
that diplomatic relations are tense than they
have ever been. II seems, the contrary
that most of the points at issue have been disposed
of; and Germany, having gone thus far, will hardly
sickle indefinitely remaining details
1t is to be hoped, however, that the settlement
of the Lusitania case will not be delayed much
longer. The United States stands simply for in
ternational law in its broadest aspects and for hu-
mainly in its deepest instincts. The principles as
serted in our first note to Germany vital
and as urgent today as when they were then pro-
claimed. The words of that note are still memoir
able The President expressed hope which vir-
tuay was a demand:
The Imperial German Government will
disavow the acts of which the Government of
the United States complains, that they will
make reparation, so far as reparation is posi-
BILE for injuries which are without measure
and that they will take immediate steps to pre-
vent the recurrence of anything obviously
subversive of the principles of warfare for
which the Imperial German Government have
in the past so wisely and firmly commended
The Imperial German Government
will not expect the Government of the United
States to omit any act necessary. to the per-
Torrance of its sacred duty to maintaining the
rights of the United States and its citizens, and
of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoy
ment."
The fact that month of diplomatic correspond
ence have ensued does not mean that any word
or act will yet be omitted to vindicate American
honor and rights. The President has not been as
precipitate as some persons think he should have
been but he has been unwaveringly insistent
the principles involved. The Lustania will
not be settled untiIit is settled by American stand
