Should BE Ready to Aid
Mexico to Bind Wounds.

The nation has no policy Of aggression
toward Mexico. We have no desire IA,
any part Of her territory. We wish her
to have peace, stability and prosperity,
We should be ready 10 aid her in bind;no
up her wounds, III relieving her from star
walton and distress, and IN giving her in
every practicable way the benefits Of
our disinterred friendship. The conduct
OF this administration has created diff
culties which shall have to snrmount
We shall have 10 overcome the antipathy
needlessly treated by that conduct and
To develop genuine respect aud confidence.
We shall have to adopt a new policy. a
policy OF firmneSs and consistency
through which alone we can promote an
enduring friendship. We demand from
Mexico the protection of the lives and the
property of our citizens and the security
of our border from d~epredations. Much
will be gained If Mexico i convinced that
We contemplate no meddlesome Interior
ence with what does not concern u. but
that we propose 10 insist IN a firm and
candid manner upon the performance Of
international obligations. To a stable
government, appropriately discharglng it,
international duties, we should give un-
grudglng support. A sort period of firm.
and friendly dealing will ac-
complish more than many years Of vacil-
lation.

Declares Administration
Failed Of Duty to Citizens.

Meanwhile, the administration utterly
failed 10 perform it, obvious duty to Sc
cure protection for the lives and property
OF our citizens. IL i most unworthy to
slur these who have investments in Mex
leo IN order 10 escape a condemnation for
the non-performance of this duty. There
can be no such escape. for We have no
debate. and there can be no debate as 10
the existence OF this duty on the part OF
our government. The bitter hatred arous-
ed by the course of the administration
multiplied outrages, while our failure TO
afford protection TO our citizens evoked
the scorn and contempt of Mexicans.
Consider the ignominious incident at Tam
plco IN connection with the capture OF
Vera Cruz. In the midst of the greatest
danger to the hundreds of Americans con
gregated at Tampico, our ships which
were IN harbor were withdrawn and our
citizens were saved only BY the interview
ton OF German officer and were taken
away by British and German ships.

munitions TO Mexixco would be forbidden
But IN February, 1914, the embargo was

restored. In May, 1914, it was EXPLAIN

was an utter absence of consistent policy.

FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT

LEAD
 |S REDUCED
 MATERIALLY
Wickersham May Yet be The Delegate From AL aSka For Another
 Term.

According to all reports up to this morning from every division, while Sulzer still maintains a lead over Wickersham, this lead has perceptibly dwindled down the last day or two. A wire to Cordova, Anchorage and oth CT points bring the figures down and make the race appear close. It may be said too close for comfort. The wire from Cordoya says:
 After a careful count of the votes cast at all the precincts from which returns have been received, Sulzer leads by less than 50 votes. This in cludes the four divisions. However, there are several small precincts to be heard from yet, which it is thought may still bring down his lead.'
 From the above, the supposed vic tory of the opponents of Wickersham may find that it was not a victory af ter all.

4 NEW NATIONAL MONUMENT IN
 ALASKA
The Old Abandoned Haida Indian Village Is to be
 Preserved.

WASHINGTON, Oct-As a result of recommendations made by the Sec retary of Agriculture the "Old Ka- saan National Monument" consisting of 3S acres within the Tongass Nation. al Forest, Alaska, has just been crea. ted by Presidential proclamation. The tract embraces the well-known aban doned Haida Indian village of Old Ka. saan, situated on Prince of Wales Is land in southeastern Alaska, about 90 miles west of the city of Ketchikan
 The village was abandoned by the Indians about ten yeras ago. Among the relics which remain there are about fifty Indian totem poles, five or six of which are classed as exceeding ly good specimens. In the deserted viii lage there are also eight large square buildings which were originally con structed according to the peculiar plan of the Haida Indians, and which, it is stated by those best qualified to know represent the best specimens of Haida architecture that now exist. The largest of these buildings is approXi- mately 40 by 60 feet in size and is made entirely of round and carved tmbers There also remain a mum. Der of Indian graves with the typical small grave houses erected by the Al askan Indians.
 "Kasaan" is said to be the Indian word which means "a pretty town" and all reports agree that the village was well named The fact that the village was occupied by the Indians for many years explains the local name "Old" Kasaan, by which it is widely known.
 Since the village was abandoned by the Indians the buildings have been rapidly falling into a state of dilapida- ton and decay, and @ certain amour of vandalism by tourists and souvenir hunters renders some form of proteC- tion essential. An examination of the area was made jointly by representa- tiyes of the Forest Service and of tn" Interior Department, and reports strongly urging the establishment of 9 National Monument were approved by the Secretaries of both Depart ments. The Smithsonian Institution strongly endorsed the proposition for the establishment of a National Mon- ument. The new National Monument will be protected and administered by the Forest Service, as is the case with all monuments located within the Ma tionai Forest-From the Forest Ser vice. U. g.

Canada Makes Her
 Own Munitions Now

OTTAWA, Nov. 16.-According to the munitions board, which is respon- sible for placing $5OO,OOO,O0O worth of shell orders in Canada for the Brit ish government, the Canadian muni- tion industry has been developed to a point where it is independent of the United States.
 The industry has been developed, it is asserted, in Canada until all the component parts of shells can now be made in the Dominion. Orders are out which will keep the Canadian plants going until July next. Hereto fore fuses, primers and steel were largely obtained from the United States.
