outlswry that Must Be Suppressed.

Pancho villa has made good mis- boast and
lifeless Americans lie in the ruins Of their
homes TO mark the trail OF his desperate band
across our border. II is not act OF war. but
the swoop OF a murderous marauder. fighting
with his neck in a moose. The Carranza gov
eminent has set a price on the head OF this
man. and put him beyond the pale. but not out
OF the reach Of the law. His brain. added by
the scenes OF repine and slaughter in which he
has reveled for years. conceived the idea that
the United States is responsible for his position,
and he has boasted his purpose to carry terror
TO this country.
II Is not improbable that through this means
villa seeks 10 bring about the long delayed in
PREVENTION OF the United States in Mexico, by
showing the incapacity OF Carranza to establish
a stable and orderly government. IL may de-
velop that he has rendered the greatest possible
service to Carranza, by securing the active help
OF the United States in putting down the most
formidable armed force that yet defies the de
facto president OF our neighbor republic. Many
years ago the United States army co-opersted
with Mexican forces in suppressing Apache out
breaks and this cooperation can again be made
effective
II looks as ~ President Wilson now had the
issue OF the suppression OF Villa put squarely
to him and that watchful waiting will have to
be followed with something more positive.

Churohill,s Warning Portentou..

Colonel Winston Churchill, some time min
lister OF the navy In his majesty's cabinet. has
left the trenches long enough to appear In Com
mons and sharply criticize the Balfour admins
tratIon of the navy. Answering the minister's
optimistic outline OF the situation. Colonel
Churchill blunuy reminds the British public
that unseen danger awaits the empire at sea.
and that Il must be well looked to that prepare
ton is adequate or disaster must follow. This
warning is particularly portentous. as coming
from the one man who of all the ministry
showed capacity for action at the outset OF the
war. 1t was Winston Churchill who defied
his colleagues in the matter OF constructive
program. and ordered the laying down of ships,
the building OF which had been refused by Brit
ish paoflsts. His action resulted In the havy
being ready when war broke out. Foresight
thus proven may now be at fault. but is worthy
serious attention.
Churehilrs present Views are shared in to
large extent by dlsinterested observers. The
impenetrable veil OF secrecy drawn by the Ger
mans over Kiel. Cuxhaven. wilhelmshaven and
Helgoland must conceal something that is of
vital concern to the British. Much OF conjec-
ture but nothing of fact IL given concerning the
work that is going ahead In these great German
naval bases. In the other hand. the inaction Of
the British channel fleet has been the source OF
quite as much speculation among observers. II
Colonel Churchill is not wholly adrift in his
Judgment. the future course of the world s
greatest fighting fleet must soon be determined,

Going at It Right.

The Associated Retailers OF Omaha have out
lined the way to go after the much needed new
Union Depot. IL 1t is TO be gone after right, and
have made the first move in that direction.
There is just one way to attain the goal, know
ing by previous experience that the railroads
will not act OF their own accord and that is by
a concerted effort and united pressure by all
the different business and civic organizations
concerned in the material growth OF Omaha
and in maintaining its rank in the procession
of progressive cities.
The Associated Retailers went on record for
a new Union Depot three years ago, perhaps
pIematurely then. but omaha's subsequent ex-
pansion and Improvement have now made the
depot the next big thing in order. The
need of a modern and adequate terminal for
passenger travel, In and out OF Omaha. has been
accumulated by the new hotels, new stores, new
banks. office buildings. new business
blocks, by the systematic advertising of Omaha
as a stop-over point--by every test that could
possibly be applied.
II the other interested organizations will
join with the retailers and keep everlastlngly
at Il, II will be only a question OF time Till the
railroads find IL to their advantage to come
through.
