IN WAR WITH MEXICO.

The Villa bandits who shot up the
town in New Mexico. killing and MAIN
ing a number of people, are now being
pursued by American troops
New Mexico is a state of the federal
Union, and in thus encroaching on Unit
ed States territory and numbering Unit
ed States citizens, they have laid them
selves liable to condign punishment
Pancho Villa is a desperate, and cruel
beyond measure in mis- raids on Ameri-
cars. He is intolerable and unworthy
TO live-when he can put to ueath help
less citizens-men, women and children
without the slightest provocatiOn on
t;ieir part.
Let US hope that the president and
congress will teach Villa a lesson that
he will not forget. New Mexico is a
state that should be defended. and it is
the duty of the government to furnish
such defense.

June from the day of the winsome girl s
birth. ..-... .sa
In early years, it was Mary who had
stood between June and every punish
ment;.. in later days the nurse was even
more closely her confidante than was
Mrs Travis herself.
When June had come that day and,
passing Mary and Mrs. Travis on the
veranda, had gone on to her room, Mary s
anxious eyes had read the girls face
and mad seen trouble lurking there.
The nurse had said nothing. but later,
when June did not reappear, she follow
ed her upstairs Softly she tried the
door. of the girls sitting room. 1t

glimpse Of her; kneelinS at the fire
place, watching some papers burn. Won
dering. yet not quite daring to intrude,
the woman had tiptoed away.
But early next morning, while she
was putting the sitting room to rights,
Mary CHANGED to see half a charred
piece of paper lying on the hearth. She
picked il up. On the unburned halt
of the paper. she read:
Seven days from date. Or-to pay
George. Grant ten-third installment on
nv loan of fifty-plus interest at the

Mary puzzled over the fragment in
stark peIplexity. To hear, it meant
nothing. And she could not understand
how her darling should have happened
to possess such a thing or why she
had tried to burn it. But as she placed
the morning newspaper on the table. for
June. a few minutes later, the old
woman gaze fell on these staring head

There can be no question IS to Ger
manyS preparedness for the present
/ war The War Lord, William II, has
I been getting more and more prepared
1 since the Franco-German war Of the
/ 7O's. Everything tended that way.

educating her population on various
lines, but all of these lines were focus

be ready when the War Lord gave the
signal.
Belgium was not a. grievance to Ger
many. Belgium happened to lie in the
way Germany could strike at France
and England by occupying Belgian soil,
and therefore Belgian became the first
battlefield. Belgium was used the same
way in Napoleonic wars. Waterloo was
/ fought on Belgian soil
If Germany had not begun an outside
war, the inside war machine would have
been troublesome ere long. The war
machine is like the story of -Franken-
stein, which consumed all in sight. Ger
many had to do something else, after
the German army became so prodigious
and mighty, and that something else was
to keep Frankenstein from turning on
himself and devouring himself, accord
ing to the horrible story of the Shelley
authorship.
Germany has picked the battlefields
all the time, and none are selected on
German territory Whenever the scene
shifts and either Russia, France or
England can occupy German soil, then
the end will be approaching. IT is not
| in sight at this time. If the German
| battleships have succeeded in getting
out, at Kiel as was reported in yester-
days dispatches, the battles on tae
seas have only just begun. We must
all agree that England has failed to
measure up to her boastful expectations
1t is a bad case of too much bluff and
not enough of generalship."
As mistress of the seas" England
should have beef able to wipe off the
Gernfan naval force; and made bust
ness of pursuing the battleships of their
enemies, until they were destroyed or
captured, as long as one was afioat
Nevertheless the carnage is so terrific
that the German soldiers may conclude
that there has been enough. 1t is a sad
commentary on human bloodthrstiness
Barbarians would be the proper title
for those who are pushing human beings

Although the press reports indicate a prospect of serious friction with Great Britain over the mail seizures and also the hlacklisting of American business firms which refused to obey the British command to dispose of their wares only in such markets as are designated by the British coun- cil there is, doubtless, no reason for anyone 10 feel uneasy. There is hard Iy prospect that anything will de- yeIop out of the controversy that may be looked upon as seriously jeopardiz
 ing our peace and security.
 Our complaisant government will see To it that nothing that England does will be allowed 10 disturb the harmony" at present existing be- tween that nation and the United States; rest assured of that.

There won't be any war-at least while the present administration holds the seins.
 If Germany or Austria, or doubtless any other nation but Britain. had  been the offenders. there would prob ably be frightful hullahaloo and war clouds would gather swift and low if they did not come to time in hurry. Had Germany. for instance. seized the mails. continuously and repeatedly and in spite of warnings, as England has done, or if she had blacklisted our exporters because they neglected to do as the kaiser commanded, or made Us secure permission to trade with whom we pleased, we would mighty soon haul out the ancient chip" place it on our shoulder and commence. to tell about the things that would hap pen To Germany if" We wouldn't

be serene. Some of us might resent being imposed upon too far. There are d great many persons who call themselves Americans that would be very liable to insist on their rights
 even against fthe Mistress of the
 Seas" and would be lord of the uni verse. Some of them are so unrea-
 sonably proud of the fact that they are Americans and citizens of one of the worlds greatest nations that they would be very apt to declare war on the devil himself if he trod careless ly on their coat tails These people would be much inclined to act rather ugly if they realized that their coun- try was being Haunted and shamed, merely because someone thought that they could do so without punishment. But it is not probable that they ever will know anything about it.

The Farmers Picnic, which was
held here Saturday, was attended by
a large crowd and was a success in
every way. The weather for the oc-
casion was ideal and the day was
enjoyed by all who were here. The
feature of the day was the address in
the afternoon by Hon. w. l.. Hard
ing, republican candidate for COVER
nor. The address was not along po-
litical lines and it was enjoyed by all
of the people in the large crowd.
Following the address there were a
number of contests held in the main
street and at the ball park there was
ia ball game between the local swat
ters of the leather covered sphere
and the Lehigh aggregation. After
a long drawn out contest the agony
was won by the local team by an

been provided by the different COM
mittees and the people who came
here to spend the day had an en-
joyable time.
