The American Invasion Of Mexico in pursuit Of VII la and his bandit band has the support of those of a shades of opinion as to the American Mexican policy The purpose of the invasion has been fully stated by Che President It Is not intervention It does not contem plate interference with government in Mexico It Is for the sole purpose of capturing and punshing band of outlaws who have murdered American citizens on Amer can soil Americans may be warned to keep out of the way of trouble when 1t is expected Mexican soil' but they cannot and ought not be compelled to flee from outlaws in their own country
 There is ample precedent for the course President Wilson has decided upon in this matter Gen carranza. in eains the situation to that at the time tho Com manche chief Gerouomo was terrorizing American and Mexcans on the border was speaking by the card His request that Mexican troops be permitted to cross the American border in pursuit of Villa also is in harmony with the Geronomo Incident At that time an agree en was entered into between the United States gov ernment and the government of Mexico permitting the troops of each country to pursue the warning Indians across .he border Of the other
 Ceronomo was pursued by Gen. Miles into Mexico and he was eaptured in that country by detachment of Miles. forces under command of Capt Lawton. after ward one Of the famous Generals of the spanshAmer can War who was Killed in the Philippines by native sharpshooter.
 It is fortunate that the American commander n the Mexican trouble will be Gen. Funston. On many critical occasions this volunteer officer has proved his capacity and he win probably do 80 again.

Americans ought to stay off of armed vessels of the bengerents not because they have not right to board them but because they ought to avoid con tngency which might plunge their country into war for the vindca,on of that right. But would be huml- ans surrender of our sovereignty for Congress to at tempt to withdraw from them that right and the Pres- dent does not propose to lend his office any such surrender There are times when he may be too proud to fight but clearly he would be too proud not to fight

Hence natures prodigality has begotten in certain habits of extravaganza and i'm providence of which there only too many and too eloquent evidences on every hand We have exhausted the virgin fertility of soil without effort at recom pense-we have cut down forests without any at- tempt at replanting-we have dug out the richest of our minerals and for want of little and patience have allowed millions of wealth to run to waste in the tail heap-and in methods of manufacturing we have thrown away waste material which the more patient and thrifty European manufacturer has fabricated into useful product with profit to himself and useful con- servaton for the world at large. Not only have we been content natural products abroad there to be worked up into finished articles and, as such to be brought back for sale in markets. but we have been content to let the double equipment be made in foreign bottoms with annual loss to us in reighs of over SSOOOOO0OO.

willing to listen to reason, but as
Germany had acted it was too late.
From first to last Germany assumed
the position that Austria's quarrel
with Servia was none of the business
of the rest of Europe.
t The Austrian pretext was the as
assination of the Archdukc who was
heir to the crown. That this was not
the real reason, and that it was con-
templated much earlier, is proved by
the fact disclosed by Signor Giolitti
that in August, 1913, Austria propos-
ed to Italy to move against Servia.
In trial in New York few months
ago the evidence showed that few
months later than this overture,
which was dropped on account Of the
attitude of Italy, the New York
agents of the Hamburg-American
Line was instructed to be ready at a
given signal to send supplies to Ger
man cruisers.
The first Balkan war occurred in
the fall of 1912. In the following
winter there was a conference IN
London to adjust the results without a
general war Germany supported Sir
Edward, now Viscount, Grey, and war
was avcrted, and DR.. Won Bcthmann-
Hollweg paid high tribute to Sir
Edward for his efforts in behalf of
peace. But Immediately after this
conference there was introduced into
the Reichstag bill adding 10000
men to the German army, increasing
the annual military budget $50,000,OOO
and lcvying a capital tax of $25,000,-
900 for military purp 2ses. The Chan
cellor explained to the Reichstag that
the reason for this was the result of
the first Balkan war, which had weak
encd Turkey and added to the power
of Scrvia, a slav nation. When the
Archdukc was assassinated Germany
and Austria were ready.
Russia modified against Austria.
Germany instantly attacked Russia
and France, via Belgium. England
went to the succor Of Belgium. The
most appalling war in history might
have been avcrted if Germany had
advised Austria to submit her griev-
lnce to Europe.
