sToRM-TOssED MEXICO.

AS will be seen elsewhere, the
State Department at Washington
has reason to believe that another
dark cloud Is settling over Mexico.
The Carranza government, it is sur
missed. is about to meet the fate of
MANY others which have attempted
to bring order out of the chronic
chaos in the sister republic. Menaces
now exist in both the new and old
world-Meyico and Russia being the
theatres of disorders. The latter
seems destined to become the Mexl-
leo Of Europe.
Mexico will continue to have its
place and a not inconsiderable place
in the war news through the vital
Importance Of the Tampico oil wells
to the interests of the Allies. The
strike in this region affecting 15,OOO
men is a serious piece of news at
this time A contemporary says it is
mot worth while to place the fact to
the credit of Germany, But there is
reason to believe it is part of the or
ganized effc--t of the Industrial
Workers Of the World to embarrass
the nations at war with Germany.

PEACE TALK In WRONG PLACE.

Senator Lewis. Of Illinois, is better
qualified to interpret the feelings OF
"the representative German citizens
Of Chicago who asked him to sug-
gest that peace proposals be made
to Germany, than to read the inlhu
of Chancellor Michaelis.
The representative German citizens
of Chicago have logical basis ior
the assumption that peace on almost
any terms would be welcomed u
the German people, but they cannot
speak fer the military autocracy. So
too, Senator Lewis may be right IL
saving that he was taiepathcally
convinced by the Chancel!or's recent
speech that Germany desired peace,
and vet the words of that functionary
only repeated the excuses, boasts and
threats of the German autocracy.
AS the New York World says. Ger
many can have peace any day if II
will forcgo the ambitions which led
it into war. repair to the extent of
its power the damage it has done and
give the world guarantees that is
marauding miEitarism is to he aban-
doned. Nothing of this kind has ever
been heard in the WilhelmstraSse and
in spite Of Senator Lewis subtle
analysis Of Herr Michaelis' remarks
it is not likely that the first sugges-
ton Of such a supreme remuneration
vii come to us by way Of Milwaukee
avenue, Chicago.

Gun-shy soldiers will not see
France. Actual tests to prove that
'guardsmen are not ''jumpy" will be
made by the medical officers who
have been detailed to examine the

yesterday. The examinations O.
the men started at once Yesterday,
but as they are more rigid than III
the past, it will be several days be-
fore they are completed.
One of the means Of testing the
heart action OF man is by the I'M

him. If he is startled, The heart ac-

gun shy, he is liable to find himself
on the streets ONCE more.
