when American soldiers are amousn- ed and shot by Carranza troops, act ing under ,rl 'i iIean their Ch'el, IS b, ,cadse of the dosre to conciliate public opinion in the other countries ot spanish America, by the showing that the united States has no desIgus upon Mexieo.
 This prssL aposes that the people of Spanish Amerlca are as poorly in- formed about the activities of the sd- minlstration In other Spanish -Amert- san s.ates as are the people of the United States. On the contrary, they krow, as lew people of thlS country know, what the administration has been doIng in the Dominican republic and ia Haiti, and knowing that, their opinion o1 AIncrl~an policy IS that it is a mixture oI cowardlce and hypo- CT isy.

We have also set about the creation of a "constabulary force." to replace the Haitian army, but to be oh4cered entirely by Americans. We have taken control of both the finances and the armed forces of Haiti and left that country the barest pretext of sovereignty.
 South America, looking to what we have done to Haiti, naturally con cludes that we have failed to do the same toward Mexico. where we have a thousand times more reason for in- terventioa, merely because we were too cowardly to attack so strong a

SUPPLY OF SEALS ASSURED
Action by United States, 1t Is Be-
Iieved, Has Done Away With All
Danger Of Their Extinction.

For the first time in the history of
the United States this country is ham
ding its own sealskins, a condition
that should have been brought about
long ago, but was not, largely owing
to trade secrets connected with the
dressing and dyeing of the furs, which
were possessed exclusively in Eng
land.
Seal furs are used more extensively
In America than in any other country
on the globe and the United States
government has done more to prevent
seals from becoming extinct than all
the other nations put together. 1t is
due entirely to our initiative that
there is now a growing supply of
seals from which to draw.
The total number in the Alaskan
herd is now estimated at 100000, and
1t is believed that 100000 win be
added this summer, after which, un-
der moderate regulation, there will
be little danger of extinction, such as
faced the %fur-bearing seals only a few
years ago.
