THE TROOPS CALLED TO THE
BORDER 49,.

The call for the mobilization Of the
entire national guard with the. view
to it's prompt transport to the Next
can border as conditions there neces-
state strengthening present forces,
is a measure Of precaution that may
prove to have been taken too late.
The statement by Secretary Baker
in ordering the troops modified con-
tains the assurance that the move
"contemplates no additional entry
into Mexico" except to pursue band
It's that may attempt outrages on
American soil. However, present
contemplations not unlikely will
prove very different from ultimate
eventuations. ...,"' ...
This move as to Mexico painfully
suggests that our policy there is too
much like that of the allies in Eu-
rope. "Too late" was the sad COM
ment on the efforts for relief Of
Antwerp, on the Gallipoli expedition,
on pretty nearly every initiative the
allies have taken from the beginning
Of the war; and too late" may prove
the sorry Characterization yet to be
written on the move of something
like adequate forces to the southern
border. ..
The regular army was sent to
Mexico too late. II it had been sent
in proper force, months earlier, the
raids that have now brought US to
the verge Of war might have Been
forestalled. Sending it too late, 1t
could not do its work along the bor-
der; It had to be sent across, and
into Mexico. It was sent into that
country, under an arrangement with
the de facto government that was
construed on this side to submit to
the movement, but that Carranza
insisted did not agree to such an en-
terprise. Tardy as was the move, 1t
proved instantly that the regulars,
even, were not prepared for service,
Motor cars, aeroplanes, all manner
of supplies, were insufficient for the
demands. There had been three
years in which the country had look
ed squarely in the face Of this emer.
gency; yet there was no real pre-.
paredness to meet it.
Calling for the national guard Il
mobilize is a long way from putting
the troops where they are needed
where the need for them may any
day be vital It will require months
after that absolute necessity arises
if it ever does arise, to do prelimi.
nary work that should have beer
done before the EFFICIENCY developed
Whether Carranza is now bluff
ing, can only be conjectured at thil
moment. But this much is certain
that If Carranza intends to try tn,
desperate hazard of actual war, h,
has chosen the right time, from hi
point of view. He is. In position +,
inflict disaster on this country, L
he has the power to do it. Seem
ingly his military chiefs believe the!
have that power. If he designs tn
last and supreme. Invitation to for
tune and to fate, he has picked upol
precisely the proper moment. Th'
effort, of course, means his ultimat
destruction. The American natiol
will rise to the emergency, ant
sweep Mexico clean II that shall b
forced upon it. But that task cal
only be accomplished now at fear
full cost which will be our penalt.

P0STOFFICE ASKS
A DAY OF GRACE
No Sunday Delivery, So Send
erS Are Urged to Get
Packages in Early.

Unusual conditions confront the
patrons of the postoffice in shipping
their holiday gifts this year, the
most important of which are that
Christmas comes on Monday, max
ing delivery impossible on the pre-
ceding Sunday because Of the new
holiday law for government en-
ployes which became effective. Sept.
l, 1915.
Under the present Law no en-
plOye can perform duty on a sun
day or holiday, unless such employe
is given compensatory time within
the week on some working day. As
the cancellation Of regular delivery
of mail in this and other ci-f-S is
impossible, Sunday deliver, would
be impracticable and the law auto
matically suspends itself.
This makes il imperative that
people who hope TO have their
Christmas gifts delivered promptly
should mail early enough to reach
their destination in time to have de-
livery affected before Sunday, Dec.
"a. making allowance for delays,
which might be incurred because OF
congestion of mail, which is sure 20
occur.
AS an example of possible local
congestion can be had when taken
into consideration that under nor
NAL conditions the local ofiice
handles approximately 5000 pieces
Of parcel post matter for local deliv-
cry, while that being shipped is
more than twice that figure in one
week. This employees the regular
working force constantly and taxes

ment in the office
