The Mexican Visitors.

The visit to the United States at this
time Of q number Of prominent Mexi
can journalists should bear good fruit
for both that country and this. II
should assist materially in clearing the
atmosphere, and restoring the cordial
relations that for many years existed
between the two countries.
Mexico and America should be
friends, without distrust Of each other
For a long time they we're. They are
next door neighbors. They have many
interests in common. Acting in con-
cert upon those interests, they should
he able to advance them, and restore
and strengthen what once was strong
There would be no profit in reciting
in detail the unhappy history OF the
past few years. Mexico has suffered
much, both at home and abroad. The
turmoil and the banditry have wasted
her resources and impaired her credit.
Some of her capable men, discouraged
by the situation, have left home. Those
remaining have been carrying heavy
burden. There is much to be said of
and for the spirit which has held on,
and tried to serve the state.
It is recalled in connection with this
visit that in 1ss5-thirty-three years
ago-a party of Mexican journalists
toured the United States, investigated
its industries and activities, and
everywhere met with hospitable en-
tertainment. Years of good feeling
between the two countries followed,
and Mexico's progress was applauded
and assisted by her powerful friend
and neighbor. Some of the largest
American Investments in Mexico, in
.-ited and protected by President Diaz,
were made between that time and the
beginning of the turbulence which
within the last decade has shaken Mex
ico to the center.
Now and then it is asserted that
Americans today lack information
about the real situation in Mexico
that much improvement has taken place
since Villa was stripped Of his impor-
tance, and that foundations have heen
laid for better things than the country
has hitherto known.
This is a good topic for discussion
and assurance, and these Mexican Wis
itors are. Of course, qualified to handle
it. Their means of information are in
innate, and they must have contrib
uted to whatever improvement at home
has taken place.

Roosevelt in Kelter Again.

Returning homo from his stumpins
tour in the middle country and tho
northwest, Mr.. Roosevelt reported "a
bully time" He talked about the war
To large crowds. He was applauded
enthusiastically everywhere, and no
where moro enthusiastically than in
Wisconsin.
He seems to be in keller again. A
second stumping tour begins on the
eth instant, when he leaves for the
near west, travelling as far as Nebras.
ka, and talking, Of course, about the
war. For the present he is confnina
himself to that topic.
This fact was brought out by q
question put to Mr.. Roosevelt by q
newspaper interviewer on tho subject
Of tho New York political situation
The republicans are in something Of q
snarl. Gov. Whitman aspires to third
term, but has opposition for his party'l
nomination. How formidable It Is re.
mains to be seen. Republicans are tax

ing sides, and Mr.. Roosevelt was asked
about his side. "I am taking NO part
in any local contest" was his reply.
Presumably, however, when the time
comes, he will support the republican
nominee, who is very likely to be Gov.
Whitman. He has returned to his old
party affiliations.
This years New York campaign may
have q national bearing. Both parties
recognize the fact, and are figuring on
it. If Gov. Whitman is reelected he
will come in for discussion as presi-
Dental possibility. There may be a
Whitman boom. There IS already q
Roosevelt boom, and nobody would be
surprised at the appearance in the next
eighteen months of a Hughes boom.
Three New York booms would add to
the gayety Of both the state and the
nation.
On tho other side Of the fence it is
very clear that democratic victory
in New York this year might develop
d new presidential quantity. If Mr..
Wilson should decline to stand for a
third nomination-he will be urged to
stand-the democratic field will be in
viting: and the man who had defeated
Gov. Whitman in 1918 would be an in
teresting national figure in 1920.
The New York state nominations will
be made in September. Mr.. Roosevelt.
therefore, has three months to devote to
var work exclusively; and as his heart
is very much in that cause his contri-
buttons to it are likely to be frequent
and important.

The Battle Of Reserves.

Though the armies of the crown
prince temporarily have been halted in
their dash for Paris, the trend Of bat
tie has not yet passed into the zone
Of safety for the allies. There viii
be much more terrible fighting if tho
Germans persist in their purpose. 1t
will be the reserves of Hindenburg
against the reserves Of Foch. The
German commander, having achieved a
measure Of success, possibly beyond
lis expectations, south Of scissors and
Rheims, undoubtedly will seek to
spread this salient toward the river
Oise in the hope Of bringing the cap
ture of Paris within sight.
The battles which have been raging
for more than a week have been large
ly infantry engagements. By a sys-
tenn of infiltration the Germans were
able to force retreat Of the thin French
line. Owing to this very system Of
attack the intensity Of the battle did
not approach that in Flanders and
before Amiens. With increasing re-
sistance on the part Of the allies the
German command once more has fallen
back on his old system Of attack by
massed formation. The battle has as
sumed the intensity Of others, though
local in character. Owing to the speed
with which the Germans advanced they
were unable to bring up their artil-
lery fast enough to cover infantry
movements. In the days that have in
tervened since the impetus Of the Ger
man drive was halted the Germans
have brought up their heavy guns and
more will follow. Infantry assaults Of
tremendous character are assured, and
with artillery to cover all offensive
movements it is at once seen that the
real test Of the allied armies defend
ing Paris is to come. Germans hardly
will be content to rest now with is
sues remaining inconclusive and OBJ
jectives far from reached.
Gen. Foch is pouring vast forces into
the danger zone. Likewise his artil-
lery is getting into action with greater
power. Allied reserves have so far an
swered the question, "Can the allies
hold themi" So far they have. They
will continue to do SO in the conflicts
to come, though the strain will un-
doubtedly be tremendous.

Congress.

The country has grown accustomed
to long sessions and extra sessions Of
Congress. They nntedate the war. We
have had Congress with us a good deal,
indeed, since the spring Of 1909, when
President Taft called the body Of that
year together to revise the tariff. There
laa been q large amount of work of
one kind and another to do. The
termination in March, 1913, Of long
period of republican control called for
much legislative action. Tho demo-
Gratis succeeding to control under
many promises Of reform had no time
to lose, and lost none. They set to
work at once, and lave kept at work
ever since.
OF course, the war has added to the
legislative burdens. War questions
have been numerous and complicated
and many Of them new. Congress has
been path-making as well as making
progress.
But this condition Of things will not
end when the war ends. For some
years after peace is restored the leg.
islative card will be full. Congress Will
have a world Of work to do, and some
o. it will relate to the world. Recon.
struction will be worldwide; and what
~ that naruYa va find II naeessayv <o

somewhat to what other nations are
doing.
