Aimrp IN. Count Won Reventiow,
forr ~ firm advocate OF extreme

sAs b result Of the publication OF tho

Re policy Of Germany. which, so far
~ Mexico is concerned, may be st.g-
matized as bringing lighted match in

Viewed from this angle tho offer to
Mexico is wholly incomprehensible IN
view OF the Mexican condition and a
further fact that an allied Mexico held
out no more promises than the ono
which exploited automatically a Ger
man-American war. Such an offer
was based on lack Of knowledge of
Mexican affairs.
Those desiring policy OF return
to normal relations with the United
States, after the war, can not help but
deplore tho German policy. Mexico is
frontier neighbor Of the United
States, and the German offer win not
be forgotten soon. 1t Is to be deplored
that the chancellor and the foreign
minister failed to seize the opportunity
yesterday to condone this mistake

The Anzieger says:
Americans have not the slightest
reason to be provoked at our inten-
tions. Without treachery the Mexican
government would not have learned OF
the offer until the United States had
declared war on us. 1t is well known
that President Wilson attempted 20 in-i
cite not only one but every aeutrssl
state to break OF diplomatic relations
with us. This was at time when
Germany had committed not single
hostile act against the United States.

to complain when we seek allies to
thwart the step he aims to take against

nitaries moved slowly thru the main
door Of the capitol while the crowd
cheered. The president was seated to
the left Of the chief justiceS and to the
right Of the congressional committee.
Members OF congress- diplomats, gov
ernors Of states and their staffs, and
officials Of the army and navy were
placed near by. A change was noted
In the arrangements in the proximity
Of the crowds to the presidents stand.
Formerly cadet lines kept the crowds
back from the plaza. Today boy and
girl scouts formed the line and the
crowds came within twenty feet Of the
stand.
Crowd Starts song.
Some one in the crowd bsgan sing
ing America" The strains were taken
up in mighty chorus. The presi-
dent. with barred head, smiled at the
demonstration and chee swept over
the crowd as he faced them.
Continued cheers for the president
came from the throng. "Hurrah for
Woodrow Wilson was repeatedly
shouted. The president and Mrs. Will
son smilingly answered the plaudits.
In the White House party were Mrs.
Shyre, Mrs. Boiling and Francis r.
sayre. The president took the oath
standing bareheaded, his wife but O few
feet away. He lifted his hat to the
crowd and began at once to deliver his
address. The high wind made it i'm
possible for those more than few feet
away to hear and many began to leave.
Even the crowds on the nearby stands
could hear nothing and many Of them,
chilled by the cold winds went away.
= The wind died down slightly and the
presidents words became more aud
ible. Many took of their hats and lis
tened intently.
The president took off his hat at the
first cheers, but the wind was so cold
he soon put it on again.
Procession Moves.
The president concluded his address
at 1903. Immediately the space in front
OF the stand was cleared and the crowd
was pushed aside.
One after the other the carriages of
the presidential party entered the hol-
low squares Of their escorts and wheel
ed around to receive their passengers.
When all was ready the. adjutant gem
eral gave the order to start and the
procession led by Major General Scott,
grand marshal. headed down Capitol
Hill and back toward the White House.
The skies had cleared considerably and
the waiting crowds. altho cold. seemed
not impatient.
First came the president and Mrs.
Wilson. surrounded by troops. police
and secret service men. Then came
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall, es-
corted by the Black Horse Troop, and
then the escort.

President Wilson's stand, marked by
the seal Of the United States in color,
followed the lines Of the portico at the
front of the White House with It's fut-
ed columns, and was much more elab-
crate than any other.
Each great white column Of the COL
onnade was surmounted by an entab-
lAture, above which projected staff
with the nag flying. In the center Of
the columns were small cedar trees and
connecting the columns and pylons
were double festoons Of evergreens and
single loops of electric lights.

There was only one mishap in the
parade and that was on the trip going
to the capitol, when horses drawing

place in the glass enclosed reviewing

REWARD

Y The kind of service the world re-
smembers longest is unpaid, volun-
ftary service. During dull times of
apeacef and fairness we get used to see
ding every sort of service done for
1man or nation paid for in coin or
icredit. When wars emergencies
flight upon people they rise to deeds.
fof unselfish patriotics service. This
lmay be paid for, much of 1t is not,
sand some of it will not even be well
scome. The duty of the donor is
nevertheless to act according to the
thigh inspiration of the hour and
lscorn to expect remuneration.
! Newspapers are fortunate in such
times in being able to first undertake
the public service, scattering infor-
imation broadcast to the people so
they may be bound with common
knowledge of national conditions,
advertising concerted movements in
support of the government, remind
/ ing citizens of their duties as out
lined from the country's headquart-
ers, and locally they serve to an
nounce plans and projects OF COM
munities and counties connected with
4 the larger affairs of the nation.
R The Republican has been forward
in this work and glad to realize the
satisfaction of performing these pa
triotic duties. 1t will continue to
support all national and local move
ments aiming at the destruction of
armed barbarism in Europe and the
end of the world war These large
issues are too important in the eyes
of patriots to allow lesser things to
hinder action, and it is only by keep
ing the full national attention on
principle and duty that we shall get
anywhere in the war. We trust that
all who are spared the actual red
fingered combat on battle fronts will
regard their own moral obligation
somewhat in relation to the sacri-
fees of those who go lover there"
to honor the Stars and Stripes. May
they remember that petty criticisms
and accusatory earnings are un-
worthy unless they advance the main
cause for which we fight.
