TIE TAMPIeo INCIDENT.

There does not appear to be any cause for great alarm over the latest TamDic0 incident where shots were exchanged and, life was taken. It is apparently a matter which can and will be settled through diplomatic channels, but it shows nevertheless that the disposition on the part of rertain Mexicans aft least is not what it should be toward Americans.
 The Tampico affair cannot he re- EaFded as other than the result which might have been expected by the 8iexieans who started it. They were entirely unjustihed in the course which they pursued and they must re- alize if they gre giving any time to reflection that they received only what they invited. There vas no disposi- ton on the part of the Americans to 20 into Tampico and run things, vio- late the laws or paint the town red. and lt was only when the Mexicaus sought to interfere with the Ameri- cans in their lawful duties that the trouble followed.
 It is unfortunate that such a thing HtRHAA 8NNIFs u Ao tO Dc QeDiOTeQ ai any time. but particularly so just now when every possible effort should be made by both countries to bring about a readjustment of the relations which would work to the advantage of ali concerned. Mexico cannot fail to have seen the light as the result of the part which this country has play sd in connection with the great war syen if 1t was disposed to view witl 1nconcern the previous unpleasantness between the two countries and 1t is certainly for it's interest to see thai lust as few as possible of such law. less incidents take place in the flu, ture. It is time for the neighbor t. The south to realize what is for itl own good.

CELEBRATES
ON PEACE RUMOR
Big Demonstration Here Re-
uardIess of Official DenialS
That Armistice Was Signed

Out OF their houses poured the peo-
pie with the one question on their
lips: rs II really peace?" Flags were
flung out and Joy shown from every
ones face. Smith and State street was
mobbed with people. A woman 50
overcome by the sheer Joy of the news
grabbed an American flag and ran
down Smith street from Hobart 10
Water crying. Peace. eac at last"
Everyone was smiling. laughing,
crying all al once. Strangers shook
hands and congratulated each other.
Anxious mothers of boys "Over There
stopped everyone with the question;
Can 1t be true?"
Factory whistles were blown. church
bells were rung n every noise-mak-
ing instrument was brought into play
all because the people had been led
to believe the armistice terms as pre-
pared by the allied supreme war coun-
Gil had been signed by Germany.
In spite of official denials. and tire
fact that the Associated Press, the
greatest news gathering organization
in the world, said that no confirma-
ton of the report a been received,
the people were determined to have
own way about II and went on
with their peace celebration.
Last night the main streets OF the
city were packed with people. The
Italian Band came out and marched
up and down Smith street heading a
great cheering. shouting mob. They
played numerous patriotic airs and
made just as much noise as possible.
BOYS riding bicycles went through
the streets dragging several tin bcJ-
ers behind them. making a terrible
racket. Practically all the people had
horns or some other noise making
c~ontraption with them.

ter which the grand hilarious cele-
bration continued until nearly mid

WILDE IS A GREAT BATTLER
According to Ed Lewis Of Minneapolis,
Bantamweieht 0oxer is Re-
markedly Fast.

In the opinion of Ed Lewis Of Mime
apolls, a former sport writer, who
served In "Y" service In England. an
all.conquering Welshman, by name
Jimmy Wilde, Is going TO clean up
every bantamwelght boxer In America.
And Lewis ought To know, for he has
handled ring affairs for years and can
pick a fighter with one eye shut. He
writes that he recently saw Wilde
fight Joe Camp Mt London and was
astonished at the form shown by the
little fellow.
Wilde Is n townsman of Freddie
Welsh, having been born In Ponty-
prldd, Wales. He is twenty-slx years
old now. and It Is safe to assume that
he isn't going to outgrow his class.
They call him a nyweight in England,
and he weighs only 100 pounds. He
has whipped everything over there
within ten pounds Of his hcft. and Is
| regarded as n real sensation.
"Ill go on record right now"
writes Lewis, "as saying he can beat
anything In the United States up 10
1l5 pounds. He is remarkably fast
and hits terribly hard. His straight
left Is n bird. The boys ut home will
go crazy when they get Il look ut him."
