PRESIDENT WILL NEED
THEM

The next four years, if the
Republicans win the coming
election, will mark an import
ant era in the history of our
country. The president, strong
man though he is, will need all
the assistance at his command
He will need the counsel and as
sistance of statesmen in the SEN
ate and in congress, who have.
by reason of their years Of SER
vice in those bodies, acquired a
knowledge of affairs of state
that gives them power and
prestige to do things. The
Cassopolis Vigilant of last week
sums up the situation in its edi-
torial columns as follows. It is
worthy of the careful consider
alton OF Republicans who have
the interest and welfare of the
country at heart:
(F'rom Cassopolis Vigilant).
To elect Hon. Charles E. Hughes
president in November and then pro.
vide him with a working force of
green, untried congressman and SEN
ators with which to carry out the par
tvs policies of government would he
extremely foolish for the Republican
party, and this fact should be taken
into consideration when candidates
are nominated at the primaries on
August 20. The names of Senator
Charles E. Townsend and Congress-
man f. L. Hamilton will both appear
on the primary ballot for renomina-
ton, Mr.. Townsend with record of
eight years in congress and six years
In the senate, and Mr. Hamilton with
twenty years of experience as con-
gresham and occupying a position in
the House which gives him prestige
and power TO accomplish things
which will be useful alike to the coun-
try and its president and which it will
take any new man years to acquire
even though he be possessed Of great
natural ability. There are hundreds
OF men in the state and scores Of men
in this district who would in time,
possibly, make good Senators and good
congressman, but it would be folly to
place them in training at this time
when we need and can have the bene-
fit of experienced men to uphold the
hands Of new President.

Plan for Safety of Amer
leans in Germany Should
Break Come.
OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT
Will Call Austria to Ac-
count if Her Subs Have
Ignored Rights.

"AsHlNGToN. April %. - The
w United States government has
made tentative plans to cope with
every conceivable situation which
would result from the severance Of
diplomatic relations with Germany.
For obvious reasons officials tonight
deemed II unwise to discuss the de-
tails.
There Is reason for believing, how
ever, that some of the plans have to
do with the safety of American citi-
zens in the German empire and that
others have to do with American
supervision of German interests in the
countries at war with Germany.
Numerous dispatches on these sub
jects are understood to have been sent
to diplomatic representatives abroad,
particularly to Ambassador Gerard at
Iierlin. The dispatches are regarded
as being highly confidential.
Arc Surprised.
Among dispatches received from
Ambassador Gerard within the past
two days was one describing the man
ner in which the American note de-
claring the purpose of the United
States to break relations. unless Ger
many modified her submarine meth
eds. was received by German officials
While this too, was held as confiden'
tial it is understood that the ambas.
sador represented Berlin officials as
being greatly surprised at the de-
mands of the Washington govern
ment. Mr.. Gerard is said to have
gathered at least an impression that
the foreign office had no idea that the
communication would be as drastic
and final as II was.
The general feeling here tonight ap-
parently was not at all optimistic re-
garding the outcome. In the absence
of further informative advices from
Ambassador Gerard the days press
dispatches were read closely. 1ndi-
cations in them that there might be
delays or requests for additional in
formation were regarded by officials
as significant. 1t Is well understood,
however, that the United States under
no consideration will permit delay and
discussion unless 1t Is preceded by q

III PASO, April 22.-The crossing
~ of additional American troops in
to Mexico from Columbus today
caused feeling approaching dismay
among Mexican officials in Juarez,
who were previously convinced that
General Pershing's expedition was OH
the point of withdrawal. General Ga
vira, the Juarez commander, was
frank In his expressions of concern
Il do not understand why addition

was considering the withdrawal OF

American army officers here, while
refusing to express any definite opin
ion on the troop movement, pointed
out that 1t did not necessarily mean
that the idea of recalling the Per-
shing expedition had been abandoned
one officer offered this as posi-
tive explanation:
I'VE all realize that If the American
troops begin to withdraw it may ex-
cite the various bands of Villistas who
still are roaming about north Mexico
and who will conclude that the Amer
leans are leaving because they have
been defeated. This may easily In
cite them to attacks on our line of
communications. which is very poorly
protected. The additional troops sent
into Mexico may be intended merely

General Belief Is That

cislon as to whether American
troops will be withdrawn from Mex
leo may be reached by President Will
Son and his cabinet Tuesday. This
was indicated tonight when 1t was
reported from san Antonio that Ma
ior- General Scott. sent by Secretary
Baker to investigate the military
problems confronted by General Fun
ston. might be back In Washington in
time for his report to be laid before
the regular meeting of the cabinet on
that day.
Secretary Baker declined tO discuss
the probable rieaning OF General
Scotts decision TO hasten back to the
capital without extending his quest
for information beyond conferences
with General Funston and his officers
ut department headquarters. Off
Gals consistently have refused to say
anything whatever about the problems
under consideration since the request
for the Withdrawal OF the troops came
from General Carranza.
1t is known, however, from border
advices that General Funston feels he
cannot go further with the pursuit of
villa than he already has gone un-
less he is heavily reinforced and his
hands freed in dealing with problems
of supply and information beyond the
border General Scotts decision to re-
turn at once generally was taken to
mean that he had reached the same
conclusion and would so report to
Secretary Baker.
Objects TO Plans.
In this connection 1t Is recalled that
President Wilson specifically reject
ed plans for more extensive movement
In pursuit of Villa mapped out by the
general staff Immediately after the
Columbus raid The scope of those
plans never has been revealed, but IL
is understood generally they cOntem-
plated a virtual military occupation
of all that part of northern Mexico
In which the bandits might seek
refuge. big army would have been
required and the whole territory
would have been swept thoroughly so
that no villa follower could escape.
1he administration felt, il has been
reported. that any such movement as
TINS was certain to lead to war with
Mexico. The development of opposi-
lion to the smaller punitive expedition
is held by administration officials to
have borne out this view. This oppo-
sltion. they point out. has developed
despite formal announcement by the
president himself that the. sole object
was the capture Of Villa and that the
sovereignty Of Mexico would not be
in,periled.

~ What had been announced as a
meeting of the new Republican COM
mittee here this afternoon for the
purpose of advising Republicans
throughout the state how and what
to do under the new Democratic reg

The Harris men secured control

EASTER MORNING

See lovely lilies sprngng from the earth,
Where yesterday you found barren tomb
Lo, how mid melting melodies OF mirth
In hill and dale conquered winters gloom!
Now blossoms flower and winged minstresy
Join in psalm of Immortality
But where will lingering life look for lost love-
The death lmmed eye the hand the heart grown codY
Alone, alas through verdant fields rove
Unmoved by joyous notes in wood and void
Each seed springs forth in bud and blade and bloom
But who will roll the from off the tomb?
Yet this know, wherever W may meet,
Hearts hallowed by the hearth of auld lang syne,
Around still you live with influence sweet
And lead my falterng step to heights divine
Aye. when the oveorn soul sghs "where2''
You whisper softly "m Fathers care"

go to pieces under the strain of 20
miles to 25."
McSparran knows more about
horses than does the Postmaster Cen
eral, who has just finished IA years in
Congress after holding legal offices In
Texas for IL years. And he also
knows few things about the practl-
cal side of consolidating rural routes
in order to use automobiles in the
summer. He says:
"The attempt to substitute an auto
mobile service for that of horse IS
all right for letter carrier who wish
es to make such change, but for the
Department to do so seems to indi
cate that either they do not value the
element of every day service in the
country. or they have in mind sys-
tenn of roads that has not yet been
built. 1t is true that the auto can
rnder an enlarged service acceptably
for the summer months; but people Go
not want to have their addresses
changed fall and spring nor do they
want to be deprived of service for
those periods in the winter during
which it would be impossible for the
auto to make the trip. This is not the
place to look for economy in the pos
tai service"
Mr.. McSparran also points out that
the farmer writes his letters at night.
and. if rural routes are heightened to
such an extent that the carrier gets
back to town late in the evening. the
letters miss the train and must lie
over in the post Office until the follow
ing day.

Rural Mail Service Impaired

When the Fostoffice Department
announced. some time ago, that by
changing rural delivery routes and
making extensions, many thousands
of additional patrons were being
served without any increase in eX-
pense, there was a pretty general feel
ing that when patrons had been heard
from, there would be a showing of
impaired, rather than improved ser
vice. Such seems to be the case.
Soon after the adjustments Were
made, poStmasters found it necessary
to placate patrons by explaining that
they were not responsible for the
changes. At least one postmaster
did this in a public statement, in
which he placed the whole response
biity upon the Department in Wash
ington.
Now comes John A. McSparran,
Master of the State Grange of Penn
sylvania, with signed article assert
ing that the Postoffice Department
has made mistake. Speaking of the
changes and extensions, he says:
IF it is a real economy founded
upon ability to render as good or bet
ter service. then the action can only
be commended; but there are several
statements that | believe show con-
clusivly that mistake is being made
that will not tend either to economy
or efficiency. The legnthening of the
routes is not the place to correct the
waste, for the length of the route must
continue for many years to be Deepen
dent upon the distance a horse can
travel under average conditions in the
time allowed between the trains that
carry the mail to and from the ter
minus of the route.
81 am taking it for granted" says
McSrarran. that tbs routes are being
handled all through the service as
they are in this part of the country
Some of our routes have been length
ened under the proposed chances 20
over thirty milse. Now I think that
experience has shown that a horse
cannot go thirty miles every other
day through average conditions and
keep up gait that will insure service
in a reasonable time. In fact. it is
doubtful if very MANY horses can be
found that will stand the rounding of
thirty miles every other dav at any
gait. judging from the number that
