1t should be understood. however.
that the attitude OF CARRANzA is not
prompted by love OF VILLA. The First

least three reasons: PANcHo VILLA

The Border to Re Protected at Any
late,

The announcement made by Secre-
tary BAKER that our troops cannot
be withdrawn from Mexico las long
as there Is any possibility Of a repe-
tition OF the Columbus raid is suS-
ceptible Of more than one meaning;
but the intent apparently is to per-
suade the CarranZa Government 10
allow General PERsHISG's soldiers 10
remain In northern Mexico as IL Dor
der patrol. The pursuit Of VILLA is
no longer the policy Of the AdminiS-
tration. If he is not dead rhe .Aneri-
can troops would be lured too far
south with a diminishing chance Of
getting" him, and relations with tho
recognized Government would become
more and moro strained. perhaps to
the breaking point. So the Admins
tration looks NJ the matter. The en-
phasis Is now laid on the border and
not on VILLA. Mr.. BAEER, in explain
ing his statement of policy, says:
THE border must be protected. The
internal affairs OF Mexico canrot be
taken into account except as the safety
OF the border from invasion Is affected"
The programme OF course makes
the Administration the judge Of how
long American troops shall remain
on Mexican soil and ~inferentially
the Carranza Government Is not going
to have anything 10 say about il. But
II Mr.. WILSON feels that he has to
consider American sentiment, 81 Cen
eral CARRANzA feels that he has 10
consider Mexican sentiment. The
happy result. the result no doubt
planned by Mr.. WILsoS, would be a
meeting OF the minds as 70 the time

episode fades and the psychological
moment to march back across
the border with the intimation that
a lesson has been taught the Mexi-
cans and there Is ne danger Of
a repetition Of the Columbus raid.
The plan may work and 1t may not.
The better way would have been to
order the troops into Mexico to clear
the border of bandits and kill or
capture VILLA; not necessarily to fol-
low him until killed " captured.
Withdrawal would then have been q
simpler matter. But It has now be-
come a problem to he handled with

The Russian Alvsnce On DssdsA.

The lines Of the Russian advance
into Asia Minor were clearly indi-
Gated in the last ofhcial bulletin from
Petrograd. One army has crossed
the Persian frontier into the Mesopo-
tamia valley with Bagdad as an OBJ
jective; the other advancing from
Treblzond along the upper E~uphrates
has reached Diarbekir.
There has been no statement re-
garding the strength of either Of these
forces. But the size of the army that
took Trebizond may be Judged from
Its accomplishment. The other force,
which. early in the war, vas sent into
Persia to counteract the effect Of the
German propaganda carried on from
the region Of Sulemaniyeh. is reported
70 be much superior to the Anglo
Indian expedltionary force. That each
is sufficient for a separate task and
that they we're not originally intended
TO operate together in Nesopotamia
appears evident.
The apparent purpose Of the Trebi-
zond army makes II the more interest

Is half way across Asia Minor from

Platform Pledge ignored.

In 1912 Mr.. Wilson accepted and
approved the platform adopted by the
Democratic national convention which
nominated MIN This declaration OF
principles constituted the political con
fession of faith to which he subscribed
when he appealed to the country.
One plank of the Baltimore plat
form bears directly upon the action
which the president has Just taken
in announcing that he once more seeks
election to the office he now holds
1t reads as follows:
we favor single presidential
term, and to that end urge the adop
ton of an amendment TO the consti
tuition making the president of the
United States ineligible for reelection
and we pledge the candidate OF this
convention to this principle"
Clear. explicit and positive. and oh
viously binding upon the man then
nominated and afterward elected. as
well as upon the party which chose
him for its candidate. And now the
reputation OF the principle and the
personal pledge is made Just as defin
lite and complete by President Wilson
as II will be few months later by the
Democratic party.
But the people will take care OF
the one-term part OF his 1912 program
next November.

Elihu Roots address to the New
