Keep An Eye On Him

1t will be wise to keep an eye on Mex
leo.
Carranza's attitude toward the United
States has always been that of fellow
who would like to do something ugly, if
IT were at all safe. He has not yet ex-
pressed himself on Zimmerman's propo-
sition to stab Uncle Sam in the back as
an ally of Germany.
1t should not be forgotten that he pre-
vented our combined regular and militia
forces from getting his chief enemy,
Villa, upon pain of union of all Mexico
against us.
We still hold to our recent suggestion
that there should be strong home-guard
organization in our border states. New
Mexico, Arizona, Texas and California.
We should not be in shape to have Car
rama jumped on our backs and find the
riding good.

Billiards. Book Gives Us
COld-BlOded Reading


A rather remarkable little book has
been written by Arthur Billiard called
"Mobilizing America"
II would seem TO have been written for
military authorities. alone, if Judged by
the matter contained therein and the ad-
vice given.
But it has been published by the
Macmillan company and placed upon the
market.
Billiard tells US some things that We
may have half realized but did not know.
He declares that the "call of the race
is not strong with us" and that in order
to get together an army in the United
States, we must hit upon some big abb
stract idea which appeals to all the people
and makes of the war sort Of crusade.
He says that about the only big alb
straet idea about which the people of
America will rally is democracy" which
is clearly known by the impression upon
us made by the Russian revolution. This
book was published before the presidents
speech, April p
He SAYS that the first business of a
country going into war is to hold sort
of orihamme high before the eyes of the
people, so as to excite their emotions and
stimulate the war spirit
He says that Britain did not respond
readily TO the call to arms because the
cause was not made clear and that they
were obliged TO make much of the rights
of small nations and bleeding Belgium
and that no enlightened government"
will ever go into war without strong
lead which appeals to the emotions of the
people for people will not give their
lives for a technicality"
The United States must have an appeal
and that appeal, according to Arthur Bull
lard, should be 'Democracy-the hope of
humanity-is in danger
The book is sincere, if somewhat naive.
1t sounds like lecture to statesmen on
the psychology of craftsmanship and the
best way of advertising.
1t sounds as if the American people
had been led in the way that we want the
people to go.
Billiards. advice and conclusions, start
ing from his premises are psychologically
correct, but they are so cold-blooded and
inhuman that they smack of Prussianism
rather than democracy.

When / Am Gone
~ On. PRANK CRANE
Copyright 1918. BY Frank Crans)

When / am gone, that Is the end of
the world.
All its movements, Of government, Of
wars, Of business, of social redemption.
Of eugenics and woman's rights. or
church, Of art, Of education, of finance,
sport, romance, vengeance-the whole
boiling kettle of human affairs will have
disappeared, and like an insubstantial
fabric vanished leave not a wrack be-
hind"
What do care about the end Of the
world? The end of me is the end of the
world.
When am gone so many things viii
make no matter.
The kisses Of hot lips, the yearning Of
full breasts, the fires of passion, the i'm
patience, the eagerness, the monomania.
the quick breathing and aching heart
just a little handful of cold ashes Of
memory, when am gone.
No more my footsteps in the hall. my
key rafting in the front door, my chair
ready by the lamp, my bureau drawer
full of neckties, my coats hanging in the
closet, my desk cluttered with papers
and books, the smell Of my pipe thru the
house, no more me, nor the accoutre-
ments of me.
How long will ii take the ripples to
die away on the water when the pebble
me has dropped in? How long before
all is again as it was before l was?
How long before my name sounds
strange, and curious people try to recall,
and say, "Oh. yes! ! did hear my grand
mother speak of him once"
When / am gone, who will use my
French dictionary, red book, colored
like meerschaum by much handling;
and what will become Of my little black
address book, and my fountain pen, and
my desk clock? use them every day
now. love them, yet know they are
all trollops and will serve the next man
as gladly.
When l am gone whittier viii al these

My congregation of atoms will break up.
They will scatter from Ponkapog to

am concerned about this world, as
well as about myself, when ] am gone.
Think of the suns rising day after day
and no me to see them. Of trees greening
in spring and my heart not there to leap,
Of good jokes and no laughter from me,
of pretty faces and no eye of mine to
brighten. The world is good, and it Ia
