NEEDS OUR FIRST ATTENTION.


Someone suggests as a matter OF
compensation for the apparent failure
Of the militia policing the border was
that now we appreciate the good OF
having lot OF national guardsmen
hardened and trained and ready for
more serious service. II is not clear
whether this is urged as phllOsoph-
teal reflection or whether 1t shall bo
claimed that the mystery OF the bor-
der guard was the following out Of
an intentional ana dcep-laid program
bespeaking tho great wisdom and
foresight OF our president The latter
would be a healthy stretch OF the
Imagination. Would that 1t were true.
We would be pleased to believe that
Mr.. Wilson forcsaw the present ma
tonal predicamcnt ana provided this
measure Of preparedness and kept his
peace about IT, We would be glad to
know that he was brave enough to
silently submit to slnndcr and mis-
representation In order that he might
produce trained ana hardened army
without letting the real enemy sus-
pect the object of his coup Il is a
romantic imagining and too beautiful
to be true
But while we are talking about
Mexico 1t Is well to note that the first
peril to our national safety seems
likely to come from this quarter.
Carranza is saying nothing. but troops
are being mobilzcd In advantageous
points to reach the american border
quickly We do not know that there
is a silent entente between Mexico
and Germany, but it is not hard to be
lieve there is. II we may be excused
for making a daring prediction, we
will recall The WoGd's prophecy of
last year that sooner or later. before
Mexico ever enjoyed a stable govern,
ment of her own and before the bor-
der line between us could hc safe, the
United States would have To step in
and take control long enough to cs-
tablish such government aud guar
antee its stability just as we have
done in Cuba. We repeat and rcaf,
firm our belief in that prophecy In
spite of the apparent settlement in
Mexico. we do not believe that the
disturbing elements have been either
conquered or won over. This war with
Germany, while IL is wagcd with ne
expectation Of annexation or conquest
OF any kind, is going to result in an
American protectorato in Mexico.
But. says somebody, that is lust
Germanys plan to get us tangled up
on the south SO that we cannot affect
the result in Europe. So be It. Ne
cessity knows no diplomacy Self
preservation is a primal motive. To
protect ourselves it will be necessary
as We see It, to attend to MoNico's case
whether We send detachment tc
France or not Mexico herself is
going to force our hand The wisost
thing for the president to do, we
think, is TO commission some man
who can command a hearty follow
ing, like Roosevelt, to conquer Mex
leo, set up n provisional government
under American protection, and put
the McNicans on their feet as we did
the Cubans Unless this is done. Mex
leo will remain thorn In our side
and an impcdiment to our widor use.
