ANOTHER MEXICAN OUTRAGE

There has been added to the already long list
another Mexican outrage. not more serious than any
which have preceded il, but a good deal more spectacu-I
lar. in the seizure of American aviators by Mexican ban
dts and the holding of these persons for ransom. The
incident, like many which preceded it. has its compil-
eating features. but the outstanding feature Of the whole.
Mexican situation is that the authority which processes
to be the government of Mexico does not protect the
life and property of foreigners who are in the country
on their own peaceful business, and that it does not ap-
pear to be willing even to make an honest effort to do SO.
The government Of Mexico has been notified by the
American government that unless it pursued a different
might be expected. There ought to be a change, and
an immediate one. 1t is not necessary to decide at this
time whether or not the change should have taken place
sooner. The whole subject has been full Of difficulties,
and it is quite easy to understand all those responsible
for the American policy. desiring to maintain peace be-
tween the two nations and to give the Mexicans every
possible opportunity to straighten out and rearrange
their own affairs, may have erred on the side of patience
and tolerance. We have certainly waited longer than
reason required, may have waited longer than we should
have done; but whatever this may be. it is quite evident
that the time has come when the politicians, the people.
the bandits and all persons in Mexico should be given
to understand that the carnival Of lawlessness. robbery
and murder which has been going on these years, largely
at the expense Of the Americans, must be brought to
an end. and that if there is in Mexico no authority
adequate effort in that direction, the United States will
take upon itself the duty of doing whatever ma, be
necessary.
We desire no Mexican territory we desire to exer.
else no control over Mexican affairs, but we have the
right to demand that an end be put to conditions in
Mexico which made life, even on the American side of
the Mexican border, unsafe and almost unbearable.

Aw GEE WHIZ!

Nv GEE WIFI!
Queerest little chap he is.
Always saying: Jaw Gee Whit"
Needing something from the store
That you've got to send him for
And you call him from his play
Then It is you hear him say
F.. Jaw Gee Whit"
Seems that most expressive phrase
Is a part Of childhood days;
Call him in at supper time.
Hands andN face all smeared with
Crime,
Send him up to wash. and he
Answers you disgustedly: ~
Jaw Gee Whiz!"
When it's time to go to bed
And he'd rather play instead,
AS you call him from the street,
He comes in with dragging feet
knowing that he has to go r.
Then it is he mutters low:
Jaw Gel Whiz!" q,
Makes no difference what you ask
OF him as a little task:
He has yet to learn that life
Crosses many a joy with strife.
SO when duty mars his play
Always, we can hear him say:
Jaw Gee WhiZi"

GRAHAM BELL ON THE TREATY

On being invited to join the League FOR the Preeer-
vation of American independence" DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell Of telephone fame, made some pertinent ooser-
vations on the pending treaty of peace. and at the same
time expressed in very forcible language his opinion Of
the method by which a very praiseworthy and patriotic
name is made to serve a purpose altogether out Of keep
Ing with it. DR.. Bell wrote in reply to the invitation:
Tn reply to your communication of July II I may
say that in my opinion there is absolutely no use in MAX
ing any peace treaty with Germany unless a guarantee
is provided to assure the carrying out Of tho peace terms.
That guarantee is the organization Of the League of Ma
tons: and tho covenant therefore should form an integral
part OF the peace treaty and not be separated from it
and considered afterwards es a separate proposition.
The guarantee must be provided at the same time with
the treaty itself.
The covenant is Of course in the nature OF a COM
promise and like all compromises cannot be entirely sat
isfactory to all OF the parties involved, but the covenant
itself provides means for amendment after the league has
been formed This being so I would strongly urge the
ratification OF the League of Nations covenant, without
amendments or reservations that would delay peace or
endanser the treaty by making necessary its resubmis-
sion to the signatory nations.
II must thank you for your invitation to join the
League for the Preservation Of American Independence
The title appeals to me for no one can be more anxious
to preserve American independence than I am. But
after examining with care your declaration Of principles
I am surprised to find that the association you ask me
70 join is not a league for the preservation of American
independence at all; but simply represents a camou-
f1aged attack on the constitution Of the League Of Ma
.tions.-the noblest attempt yet made to bring about har-
mony and cooperation among the nations Of the world
in the interests Of peace and civilization.
THE declaration starts out with the absolutely false
statement that the constitution of the League Of Nations
would deprive the American people of basic liberties won
by the Revolutionary war, or subsequently acquired,
among which is their independence.'
Having thus set up a man Of straw the attempt is
made to knock him down by the organization OF a league
ostensibly for the preservation Of American independ-
snee,"-which is not threatened. So far from interior
ing with American independence the constitution Of the
League of Nations attempts to extend to the whole world
the principles Of liberty and Justice for which our fathers
fought and for which we Americans stand.
Il cannot conscientiously join your organization:
and must urge with all the earnestness in my power that
the constitution Of the League of Nations be promptly
ratified by consress-and feel sure that this is the desire
Of the great majority Of my fellow citizens"

PROMOTING ANARCHY

# Admiral Kochak and the men associated with him
represent what there is Of the spirit Of orderly govern
ment in Russia. Lenine, Trotzky and their fellows rep
resent the spirit of anarchy and destructiveness. These
latter wrecked what bade fair to become a real republic
. small minority Of the lawless over the vast bulk Of the
population, unorganized, inarticulate, disarmed and
panic-stricken. Kolchak, struggling against tremendous
odds, has succeeded in rallying a considerable part Of
tho population of the districts where he has operated.
and. on the whole, he has made considerable Roadway
against the organized banditti who have usurped the
functions Of government. He has met with many re-
the situation was hopeless.
Without question the dominant American sentiment
Is one Of sympathy for the Kolchak movement. But It is
equally true that Kolchak has had less real support from
America than have the anarchists who are wrecking
the country as fast as they can. The cause Of orderly
government In Russia, az represented by Kochak, il en-
titled to support from America, support in money, in
exists in Russia is as much the enemy Of humanity as
was German unitarian. But Kolchak and his friends
have had mighty little support from this country.
Instead Of the evidences Of real American sentiment
which should have gone to Russia to heArten those who
seek to set the nation on . firm foundation, there have
gone to the Bolshevtki gifts Of money in large sums and
expressions Of sympathy from unbalanced Missionaries.
from those who have taken up parlor SOCIALISM a. a fad.
and from a large body Of ~asitators and nalconteuts who
may always be depended on to approve anything that
tlarsatens to shatter orderly government.

The powers which negotiated this treaty with Ger
many certainly should be reasonable. But reasonable
ness in this case does not lie in aequescence in the build
ing up Of another German military machine. We
smashed the machine that existed because it was a men
ace to. the world. We ought not to permit another to be
created to take its place. It is reasonable to require Ger
many's strict observance Of the military provisions of the
treaty. with due regard for the purpose which they were
intended to accomplish.

CHAPTER TX.

THE LUCK IN THE HOUSE.
Nothing did happen. None of the
traditionary usual experience over
took the two in the little red house,
as November ran out and December
stormed in like a lusty viking from
northern eas attended by tremen-
dous winds and early snow.
In the first place. the marriage Of
Anthony Adriance, Junior. somehow
escaped the sensational journals, as a
pleasing theme. There were no head
lines announcing: "son of a million
aire weds a nureemaid." No report
ers discovered the house on the
Palisades, to photograph its diminu-
tive Gothic front for Sunday specials.
Adriance had written a letter OF ex-
PLANTATION. so far as explanation might
be- to his father. That was on the
morning of his marriage, and as he
had given no address. naturally he
had received no answer. There were
no reproaches and no pursuit.
Nor was Tony Adriance gnawed by
vain regrets. According to every rule
of romance and reason. he should
have suffered from at least brief sea-

SQUIRRELS and Their Nests.

Bigelow in Boys Life. Even in the
summer he cuts off the green leaves
and skillfully packs them among the
branches or in the fork Of tree, so
that they shed the rain and roof a
cavity big enough to shelter two or
three squirrels. Until within a few
years I supposed that these leafy
homes were for rearing the young dQly,
