The Preparedness Parade

It made FL Pasoans proud Of themselves and theI
city Yesterday when the great parade OF eight Thousand
people wound its way through the business streets Win
its waving flags and cheers.
II takes patriotism and courage to parade on June
dav over asphalt streets when the temperature IS how
erng close to the century mark and It was near that
Yesterday The parade by all odds the most
inspiring FL Paso has witnessed Men, women and
children made up the great Of humanity N line
and they came from every station in life The banker
and the carpenter the lawyer and the aboIer the en-
plover and the employe, down to the messenger
boy marched without regard to their station OF posi-
ton in the business social world Club women
marched as proud Of their patriotism and as ready to
show it the men.
Everybody carried flag and everybody felt the thrill
Of the occasion All celebrating the anniversary
Of the nations glorious emblem and the parade was
to demonstrate the readiness Of the people of Fl Paso
TO defend It to the last drop of es blood The silent
message from the men as indicated in the procession
was: ave are willing TO fight for our flag" From
the women, the message was: eve are willing to en-
dure for our flag" One sacrifice is great the
other The man goes to the front with his rifle to
shoot and to be shot for his country and its glorious
emblem Of freedom Women stay at home to suffer
the pangs of widowhood perhaps; not that then the
anguish of suspense. The sacrifice is greater
her part than upon the part of the man. for it takes
less courage to march onto the battlefield to court
martial glory than to remain at home in silence and
see loved march away to death, wounds and dis
ease, but the brave Of the world have always
been equal to every burden of this kind imposed upon
them and the Of FL Paso facing the stern facts
yesterday, marched steadily and proudly as the
men.
II was preparedness parade in which the unanimous
sentiment sent up from every station In life that
e Paso approves preparedness and IS patriotic enough
to help Such parades stir the patriotism in our blood
they do US good. They get together upon common

Promotion Of Deserving Man

In selecting Marion Letcher for high position the
American state department, the United States govern
ment does honor to with long line of success
full achievements behind him a diplomatic agent Of
his government
MI Letcher's promotion will be hailed with delight
BY the thousands of Americans who know him az the
tvpe of man who should fill all consular positions
but there will be much regret that he is leaving his
Chihuahua station, because it viii be hard to get
other man for the position which MI Ietcher is vacat
ing who viii fill it to the satisfaction Of the Americans
of Mexico as Nj. Letcher has done
Unfortunately with politics playing such prominent
part in our consular affairs the United States consular
service abroad is not always what It should be- and
Americans in Mexico can testify to this IN many in
stances As result such Mr.. Letcher stand out
prominently the big of the service Those in his
jurisdiction while glad of his promotion because they
know he is deserving regretfu that they have lost
his services as their representative at the state capital
Of the state of Chihuahua.
Mr.. Letcher has been hard worker for American
interests he has been firm but he has been tactfuL
He has maintained the friendship Of all factions during
the troubles in Mexico and his word has always been
received with much weight by those in authority His
representations in behalf of Americans have always
ceved courteous treatment at the hands Of the officials
temporarily in power.
Never have American interests suffered in the hands
of Marion Letcher yet he has been tactfu in all his
relations with the Mexican officials that he held
in high esteem by these people throughout his term at
Chihuahua.

If affdavits Of the prisoners are to be oeheVed the

It would be blessing to humanity if the plan advanced
recently by some kindhearted phlanthOpist could be
put into execuon-that is to have the prisoners

Of the government capturing them But the question
IS what neutral country would be willing TO take inter

would be available for such task at the present time?
