The proposal, embodied in the Hitch

army appropriation bill. to create a
Slavic Legion OF the United States
Army makes both romantic and a
common-sense appeal
From the practical point OF view. II
represents an important increase In
the lighting strength Of the army
Senator Hitchcock estimates this in
crease at from 100000 TO 100000 hardy
and wcll-traincd troops.
While this figure is only an estimate,
there is no doubt that the number of
which We are at war, now resident in

mate of the men OF fighting age would
indicate.

ing the principal other Slavic nationals

Ruthenians and Slovnks, thcre were in
the United States at the time Of the
census OF 1910 about 1000, 900 foreign
born Slavs. This number was aug
mcnted by a net increase Of about 5iU.-
900 newcomers from abroad UP 10 June
30. 1916. making tota! Of about o.140.-
600. To represent present conditions
some deductions from this number
would, OF course nave TO be made for
deaths. But ii is safe assumption
that there are In the United States at
tae present time around 100000 per!
sons Of the specified na;ionalit!es.
!!ost of these are oithe, subjects of
the two central empires which started
the war or else members OF nations
which have suffered untold ndign!tics

for those who are subject 10 the draft,
there remains Il notable reservoir OF

Our Warning to Mexico


a n impression has prevailed that this gov
a eminent has shown no force in its deal
ing with Mexico during recent months; that
the war in Europe has so completely shadowed
all else that MeScans have felt at liberty to
tout us when they chose: that the bitter COM
plants of American investors in that country
found no response at the State Department,
and there would be no reckoning with the
supine government at Mexico City until more
vital matters in other quarters were dis
posed Of.
The note addressed to the Carranza regime
In Mexico City as long ago as April ., how
ever. is full and complete answer to these
suggestions. That note has warning, not
TO say threatening. ring TO il, and serves
notice upon our unfriendly neighbor that we
expect and demand that the vested rights of
Americans in Mexico be protected against
conhscaton and appropriation, whether either
is brought about by bandits or by fake taxa
ton on the part of the Mexican government
itself.
Proceeding little further, Secretary Ian
sing significantly calls the attention of Car
tanza 20 the fact that ii the necessity arises,
the United States will be 'impelled to pro-
tect the property OF its citizens in Mexico
Invested or inJuriouSly affected by the decree
above cited Protection can only mean
armed protection. The Mexican officials do
no, seem TO understand any argument unless
:. = supported DE EunpOwder
The decree referred TO, on its face, is an
outrageous attempt to seize the oil holdings
or Americans in Tampico and Tuxpan II
provides for confscatory tax upon the sur
face Of all oil lands entirely separate from
the TAX upon the oil deposist under the sur
face. the tax upon royalties and the tax upon
output. Every conceivable tax already had
been i*vied upon oil properties but after they
had been laid and submitted 10 the Mexican
government undertook to collect another tax
upon lands without respect to the deposits
under them.
1t Is difficult TO be patient with govern
ment that is guilty OF such business This
country has borne more from Mexico than
any other government under heaven would
nave stood. 1t has tried by every peaceful
means 10 win the friendship and good will
OF its sister republic. 1t has stood between
II and revengeful nations OF both Europe and
Asia which sought 10 punish the Mexicans
Tor their crimes against civilization 1t
seems futile TO hold out friendly hand
toward those people. They insult us when
ever they feel like il. They conspire with our
enemies TO partition our country, and now
they are engaged in deliberate attempt 10
cut off our vital oil supply by taxing Amer
leans OF Mexico
But these people should remember that It
took President Wilson only fifteen minutes
to order the seizure OF Vera Cruz He de-
bated less than day before ordering the
Pershing expedition 10 go after Villa, and
one morning Mr.. Carranza may find Amer
lean troops in full possession OF his oil fields
lie is not dealing with the pacifst Woodrow
Wilson now. He is dealing with a 100 per
cent fighting man.

Taking Us Seriously

HERE are indications aplenty that the
German general staff no longer de-
rides the part which the American army is
even now playing in the great battle in
france This high command still sneers ar
American re-enforccments through the Ger
man press This is part OF its studied
game, but Ludendorn, Hindenburg and their
associates now realize that they are CON
fronted by new and potential force. They
have faced il in the trenches on the eastern
end OF the line. They have faced il in
Plcardy, and now they find il in Flanders
An army OF 100000 men may not in it
sell be regarded By the Germans as a serious
factor, but the leaders OF the enemy forces
Quite understand that a nation that can
send upwards OF 100000 men, trained and
equipped through their submarine field
without the loss OF a life aboard their
own transports, can send as many more
through the same field. And if 1000 900
can be landed in France in spite OF all
hazards, it is easy 10 Ioresee the dispatch OF
as many millions may be necessary.
If the American menace had no, b.on
sraVeiy regarded in Berlin, it is unlikely that
'hc German general staff would have pre
cpIlatcd the ali-important offensive at this
'lInc. Germany, By her own confession has
aluked everything upon present victory She
mas assured her people and her allies thar ,
!4!!ltaFy decision is TO be forced and that
with the end Of this battle the war will end
VIGOROUSLY. She has been fighting savape,v
no" lot more than two months. and that de-
ciSioh seems no nearer than when she threv
hcr massed forces into the vortex
me same reasons which proup,ed Ger
man? TO undertake this offensive will control
her in continuing it. She dare no, sion at
TINS point. She has gained nothing Of s,ra,e
&c value, and has suffered more appalIipp
losses than in any campaign which she has
undertaken in four years TO halt definitely
now Is to confess defeat and depress tho
morale not only Of her army but OF tho
m'Ihohs OF people who are suppor,Ing that
army behlnd the battle lines
Moreover, the American menace e. ho
