MExICo's DEATH TRAP

HNHE Administration has, apparently, made
i virtue of necessity in presenting a re-
port on Mexican affairs to the Senate. That
report is tardy and incomplete, for 1t is ac-
cording to Secretary Lansing, Incompatible
with the public interest" to tell under what
circumstances some OF the 129 Americans
sacrificed in Mexico, met their deaths Sen
ator Fall has insisted that the orders issued
to United States marines. landing at Vera
Cruz, were in effect orders which doomed
them 10 die.
Secretary Lansing's attempt to minimize
the Importance Of Mexican conditions is null
lifted by the facts which he is compelled to
admit. That Al American lives were lost
before the present Administration took
charge OF foreign AFFAIRS is no justification
for the lives lost since President Wilson has
made the mistake Of inaction, in conditions
infinitely worse, and he cannot condone his
own errors by pointing to those OF others.
The plea made BY the Secretary Of State
for time in which CaTranza can justify his
recognition is fair enough. Meanwhile, what
has been done to prevent another 12s Ameri-
cans from being added to those who have
already been killed On tho altar Of ineom-

GOING AFTER THE MAIL

Watch China grow The return to monarchy
needn't alarm us so long industrial and
social progress is still In evidence. Postal
ice is one indication of advancement. 1t min
listers TO that great force in civilization which
we call Communication" China is thought of
by many as n backward land with eyes only
on the dim past, but statistics like those just
issued regarding the activities of the Chinese
postal system show that such ideas are becom-
ing distinctly out of date. In 1914 the Chinese
postal service handled over 692O0OOOO articles.
as compared with 629 $1,000 in 1918. The number
Of parcels handled was over 100000, a gain of
more than million over the previous year.
Last year China had 2l head postoffices, 1862
first, second and third-cass Offices and sub
offices and $40 postal agencies. The number Of
postal employees was A,35S.
Every sort of conveyance, up to date and anti
quated Is pressed into service by the Chinese
postal authorities for transporting mail includ-
Ing steam and motor launches junks hong
boats and footboats on the inland waterways,
mounted and foot courers. mulesl carts and
wheelbarrows At the end of 1914 the length
of postal lines served by courier was 900
miles, increase of 5000 miles over 1918.
The Chinese postOfiice authorities are making
plans to take more advantage of the many
creeks, canals, lakes, ETC., OF the interior
provinces.

SYMPATHY

o sympathy Is such little thing,
But how 1t helps the heart of life 10 sing.
And how 1t smoOths the wrnkled brow OF care
And lifts the heart of sorrow from despair
So small, so wee, so little cost to give 1t,
But eonquerlng worlds are in 1t when we live it,
A word Of love. gentle touch OF hand
And eyes look up across the level land
To see the sunshine once more glowing bright
And all the day eorOnet OF light,
With tears forgotten and the future cleaning
In all the laughter Of loves golden dreaming.
All need 1t here, the mighty and the low
Its tender cheer, its soft and gentle glow
Its sweetness OF the heart that tries to feel
For those whove felt the hard and bitter steel
OF fate upon them and the wrath that sunders
Joy and hfe's peace and all It's splendid wonders
SO tiny and SO easy to be brought
To those who need II IN word, a thought,
"A song, a comfort, sweet act OF love
That makes the heavens seem more bright above

Fuller details of the movements by which
the Grand Duke Nicholas took Erzerum
Justify the conclusion that he is a commander
of skill and ingenuity. When attacking the
trenches which the Turks had dug under
German directions, he cut Off supplies to the
enemy from the rear by curtain of shells
This curtain also cut off the retreat of the
Turks. and they fought till their ammuni-
tion was exhausted, when they had to sur
render. The capture Of the city in a winter
campaign is an achievement which had been
regarded as impossible. With Erzerum in
the possession Of Russia, the way is opened
to Join the British, who hope 70 move on
Bagdad from the south. And it puts all Of
eastern Turkey at the mercy OF the Russo
English army. II is also within the bounds
of the possible that the Russians can fight
their way 10 the eastern shore OF the Bos-
phorus. from which they can attack Constan-
tinople.

leaders felt at tho conclusion OF the con-
flict that their men were prepared to fight
for Ireland The first attack on Canada was
made in 1866. Ten thousand men were moved
toward the border in northern New York
and New England, but, owing to lack of
definite plans and to poor organization, only
500 men crossed the line. These were
pulsed by the Canadian militia A few other
raids followed, "but each ended in early
failure.
1t was an opera bouffe war, so to speak,
but II created CONSERVATION and lerg-last-
ing state of apprehensiveness among the
people who lived on the farms and in the
villages in the northern part of Vermont
and New York. Many communities formed
companies of Home Guards on the
principle of safety first" At one village,
at the height of the excitement sentinels
were stationed all about the outskirts. The
captain of the guards, thinking to test the
mette of his men, went outside the
village, returning in disguise. In a covered
bridge two sentinels had been placed, both of
them about eighteen or nineteen years old.
The captain approached suspiciousy
possible. He was challenged, and gave an
evasive reply. One of the boys took to cover.
The other stuck his rifle in the captains face
and told him to move on. The captain tried
to explain. Not n word was permitted to
pass his lips. Finally he was marched into
the company's headquarters-the old town
hall-where he collapsed in a chair, the
perspiraton running down his face, and his
body shaking from the fright the boy had
given him all the way up from the bridge
This was the chief event in that town during
the period of the Fenian raids and it hasn't
been forgotten yet.

AS the deepening Of the Delaware must be
considered as part of any comprehensive
plans for national defense, Congress is ex-
pected to agree with the River and Harbor
Committee of the House that s., 100000 must
be appropriated this year for work on the
channel. The commercial reasons alone are
sufficient to justify the expenditure of this
amount, but when there is added to them the
argument based on the necessity of creating
and keeping a deep and safe channel for the
biggest warshps from the sea to League
Island. the combined argument becomes over

One of the Casualties

At another time a company of Canadian
militia was encamped near the border. A
small scouting party was returning to camp
just as the night was falling. dark, indis-
tinct figure was moving slowly and furtively
across n field. The soldiers called out chal-
lenge, but there was no response. They fired
into the air, but the only effect was to ac-
celerate the speed of the moving figure.
Another shot and the runaway halted and
crumpled to the ground. The soldiers ran
up and found that they had killed an old deaf
woman whose home was on a nearby farm.
That was one of the few casualties of the
"War"
