If Doctor Carranza ever starts to
reconquer Texas he will find it
long, long way to San Antonio. Sew
enty years ago it took an American
army of 10000 only slightly more
than a year of active campaigning
to make a complete conquest of Mex
leo. Of that army but 10000 were re-
gulars. The Americans slain in that
war numbered less than 5000. A de-
cade before at the Alamo the 140
Americans, who persisted there first

with or without the aid of Japan takes

quest of Germany by Switzerland.

back into peaceful pursuits calls for
sober thought. The same thing is
true of England, France, Germany and
Japan. And the question comes. Can
all of them find sufficient work after
The war to keep this greatly enlarged
plant capacity busy? Whatever else
S true this is surely so: the business
nan who prepares his house for even
Qualities is wisest.
