More Trouble with Mexico

M ORE than once in tho last two wears The
4Yl TilHcS-lbispG;ch has been drawn rclnc-
family tn the conclusion that Intervention in.
Mexico would become ndcessary. but each time
PreSidcn, Wilson has found way TO spare
this country tho Dreadful cost in blood and
treasure which intervention would entail.
Perhaps tho President viii have a like success
in tho emergency now confronting him-wc
hop" ccrtainly- but the outlook is any
thing hu, bright.
We have il on tho word Of various inycsii.
gators to whose good faith and high abili-
tics hear willing testimony. that Carranza

their situation and their needs. hut the First
Chief. it is manifest. does not understand

United States. Neither apparently. has he

and exaggerated cgotism hat three fourths

and ours may bc directly traced
He has refused to sign the protocol nego-
tiatcd by the joint commissions at Atlantic
city. although that agreement when ca FRIED
into effect. would have removed every Amcri-
can soldier from Mexican soil Such re-
moval. tarranza often has insisted is essen
'ial To the contamination of his plans for
the pacification Of the bandit ridden prov
nccs. but he would not sacrifice his petty
vanity Ia tho attainment Of what he pru-
claims to be his highest aim
This administrations sympathy with the
establishment IL free institutions i'm Mexico
has been manifested SO frequently and at such
cost mat only a fool can question il. Had
tarranza displayed any intelligence whatever
the menace of Villa would have been ended
when Porshing crossed The border on the
bandits trail Instead. the First Chief took
an attitude of truculent opposition. which at
Parral and Carrizal resulted in clashes
wherein American soldiers lost their lives
While he talked and procrastinatct, Villa
and other chieftains were rallying their clans
until now a great part Of Northern Mexico
is controlled by these forces of plumber and
reaction.
Under tho circumstances. can see no
advantage in the retention Of General Pcrsh-
ing IS forces in Mexico. High officers Of the
army have advised withdrawal. and We as
sumo their advice is based on a full con
sidcra ton Of every strategic problem. includ-
ing that involved in the protection Of the

Of blood will bc reduced to the smallest nos
