ed Monroe Doctrine and
Will Not.

Mexico City, Sept. "A defense
of Mexico against foreign representa-
tons, particularly from the United
States, regarding the lives of foreign
ers and their property was contained
in a message of President Carranza
read at the opening session of Con-
gress last night. Particular mention
was made in the message to alleged
injustices practiced against Mexicans
in the United States.
A long list of alleged offenses was
given under the section of the adj
dress devoted to foreign relations.
The message also defended Mexi-
cos neutrality during the war and
protested against charges that the
Mexican government was incapable
and unwilling to protect foreign lives
and property.
In the message President Carranza
asserted that Mexico did not ask ad-
mission to the league of nations be-
cause, he said, the league did not es-
tablish equality for all nations and
races.
He reiterated that Mexico had not
and would not recognize the Monroe
doctrine. ~,
Regarding oil legislation the mes
sage said the government was willing
to conciliate, but would not sacrifice
its national sovereignty.

We have learned that peace can
be maintained throughout the world
only through an intelligent under
standing among the nations.
And the voices of those who have
gone and those who remain cry out
for such an understanding.
That understanding, written intc
the League of Nations, is being ac-
cepted in Europe.
Our Constitutions gives the United
States Senators the power to accept
or reject the understanding accepted
by other nations and before this gov
eminent for action.
Each Senator has right to use his
own Judgment, to come to his own
conclusion, in the matter, but he has
no right to push aside Humanity's
cry, and to base that judgment, to
come to that conclusion, on the lines
of party expediency.

SOLDIER AND SENATOR.

...... (New York World.) ..,..
Men who would rip the covenant
of the League of Nations wide open
and incidentally wreck the treaty u
Peace, are exceedingly boastful Of
their Americanism and their patriot
ism.
1t happens that the soldiers of the
United States who have seen service
in France and Belgium are in most
cases unable to comprehend Ameri-
canism of this description, which ex-
plains the adoption by veterans at
Birmingham, Ala, of resolution ad.
vising everybody to keep away from
a meeting to be addressed by Senator
Reed of Missouri in opposition to the
treaty. Like Mr.. Johnson of Cali
fornia, Mr.. Reeds patriotism is SO
pronounced that he would have the
war terminate in international chaos
The irreconcilables Of the Senate
are deceiving some timid partisans
on this issue, but the men who have
worn khaki are not to be fooled
They know what they fought for and
wi at they won, and they are going
TO have it.

future PLANS
OF RED CROSS
Red Cross Make Plans to Continue
The Good Work They Did
In France.

Following the announcement Of
the Third Red Cross Roll Call, to be
held Nov. to IL, when the Amer-
can people will be asked to renew
their membership for 1920 and contri
butte $15,00O,0O0 for the future work
of the organization, an outline of
the peace-time program of the Amer
jean Red Cross has been issued.
Foremost will be nationwide activ.
ity for the promotion of public health
and hand in hand with this crusade
will go vigorous campaign for the
extension of the country's nursing
resources; the broadening of the Rcd
Cross Home Service, that in the war
proved so helpful through the assis-
lance it was able to give the families
of soldiers and sailors, to be of gen
eral usefulness where other social
agencies are lacking; greatly in
creased Junior Red Cross activities;
extension Of Red Cross facilities for
emergency disaster relief; compile
ton of relief manners for the victims
OF the war in this country and over
seas, and preparation to fulfill what
ever duties may be laid upon it as the
official volunteer relief society au-
thorized to assist the army and navy.
) The plan of the Red Cross public
health campaign calls FOR cQ-opera-
tion with other existing health pro-
motion and disease prevention organ
izations throughout the United States
acting by itself where no health agen-
cy now exists, in an effort to reduce
the high mortality due to preventable
disease and to improve general health
conditions. Red Cross public health
nurses will be assigned to as many
small communities as possible, thus
extending to the rural population
the bedside nursing, school inspec-
tion, classes in hygiene and horne
nursing and search for tuberculosis
and other preventable diseases that
has been so effective in the cities and
larger towns.
In this connection it is planned to
offer to every woman in America in
struction in home sanitation, hygiene
care of sick and dietetics, thus pro-
viding frst-hand knowledge of how
to keep the family we'll and what TO
do where illness or accident cannot
be avoided. These courses are now
being introduced in the public schools
I and colleges and are offered depart
ment store employees, factory opera
tives, girl scouts, nursemaids and
others, fitting them to help combat
infant and child mortality, malnutri-
ton, unsanitary living conditions
preventable disease and even epidem-
les in their homes.
The seven thousand public health
nurses in the United States are far
too few to meet the ever-increasine
demands for their services, and fund:
are needed for the establishment OF
scholarships for the postgraduate
training of nurses returning from
Europe, for its specialized public
health work, for the development Of
the necessary teaching stats and FOL
research work
Red Cross Home Service among
the families of American soldier,
has brought out the important fac
that in ninety per cent of the place!
where Home Service is now operat
ing there is no other social worl
agency. Accordingly there is an i'm

FOR WHAT DID THEY
/. FIGHT AND PAY u
(The Dearborn Independent

(The Dearborn independently
In the battle Of st. Mihiel, $50, 900
American soldiers fought, and many
of Them died. Kindly in civilian life
they proved themselves fierce fight
ers when after the foe.
An idea of the size of the struggle
can be obtained by comparing it with
the battle of Gettysburg, in which
100000 Northern soldiers fought.
The Meuse-Argonne struggles last
ed AZ days, and 100000 American
soldiers risked their lives, many of
them making the supreme sacrifice.
America had 2,OS6,OOO soldiers
in France, of whom 100000 saw
battle service, more than $4,000 dy-
ing in battle, a total of 1872, 900 over
seas having died.
There were 236, 900 American sol
der and sailors wounded on the wcs-
tern front.
No tribute is so great as to do JUS
tice to the gallantry shown by the
boys who turned the tide of battle
and helped our bleeding Allies to a
victory, the French soldiers who
died in the struggle having numbered
1,3S5,O00 and the British 100000.
The war cost America much more
very much more, than $1,000,0OO AM
hour for two years.
The people have paid and are pay
ing taxes on nearly everything; i'll
not directly, then indirectly, on what
they wear and eat and in rent.
The nations net debt as a result
of the war is about $22,OOO,0OO,OO0 |
or about $1,000 to every family |
which finally must be paid by the
toll of the family, for no matter who
pays it directly, in the end it comes
to the consumer, and with interest
added it will amount to more than
$4,000, nearer $4,000 by the time
It is paid.
What was the object of all this
'acrifceof life and treasure?
What do we owe to the men who
vent over and risked their all?
What do we owe to the dead on the
ields of France?
What do we owe those who came
Jack manned for life?
What do we owe those who gave
of wealth and time?
What do we owe humanity?
Do we owe them an assured peace

Those who sacrificed over there cry
ut that such a sacrifice shall never

Those who suffered in the trenches

The Open Door
Of Belgium

In the West too, the Germans profted
disproportionately from what might be
called the accidental Developments of the
military situation. France had prepared
a strong defence Of her eastern frontier.
But the eastern frontier could be turned
by an enemy coming through Belgium.
The French General Staff had annie
warning of Germany's purpose to violate
Belgian neutrality. General Bernhard
in Germany and the Next War" pub
llshed in 1911, had spoken of a flank
movement across Belgium as q matter Of
course. Possibly the French High Com
mand thought that this was merely n
bluff to distract French attention from
the defence of the Alsacc-L Lorraine and
Luxembourg front Possibly France was
unable to protect both the eastern and
northern fronts with the forces avail
bic in August, 1914.
At any rate, Jolfrc let the defence Of
the northern frontier go by the board.
and the German armies found an casv
path up the valley. of the Mouse and
across the plain Of northern France as
far as the outskirts Of Paris. Thus thew

were well behind even the secondary
French dcfences, like the line of La
fcre-laon-Rheims- They had wrestcd
from the French that advantage Of posi-
ton which the latter had counted on to
neutralize the German advantage in
numbers.
The Germans committed an mtorna-
uonal crime, graycly damaging to them
IN the larger moral aspect, when they
violated Belgian neutrality. That crime

and Delcasse dealt with her as if a
passionless and enlightened self-interest
could convert her into friend and asso-
ciate. Many powerful British influences
were proBulgar, and believed that Bull
garia, Serbia, Rumania and Greece
might be brought to lie down together
in concord by means of few sleight
of hand territorial readjustments
Sir Edward Grey was fatuous enough
to ask both Serbia and Greece to sur
render portions of their territory to the
Bulgars. Serbia was outraged by this
suggestion. SO was Greece, although
Nenizelos magnanimously agreed to rec
ommend the sacrifice. But nothing
came Of these ill-conceived moves, ex-
cept to put into Constantne's hands a
weapon with which to demolsh Venize-
loss prestige.
Bulgaria should have been forced to
declare her attitude early in 1915. She
was not ready for war then; nor was
Germany ready to invade Serbia. The
russian armies were stlll astrlde the
Carpathians. But Ferdinand cleverly
hoodwinked the Allied diplomats Mack
ensen and Hindenburg spent the spring
and summer driving the Russians out of
Galicia and Poland. In the fall, when
Ferdinand had lifted the mask and Ser
bia was ready to be crushed, the Allies
could only look on impotently.
The Teuton programme of conquest
developed without hitch, so far as the
Eastern front was concerned. There
was something uncanny in the precision
with which it unfolded Fortune smiled
everywhere on German plans, while the
Allies seemed to touch nothing except to
bungle it.

OVerCOnfdenCe
Lost the M arne

The German High Command lost the
First Battle of the Marine through gross
errors in Judgment, due to reckless over
confidence. The younger Moltke and all
his lieutenants undervalued both the
French army and Joffre's leadership.
They thought they were marching to
another Sedan. Instead they walked
heedessly into an ambush The Ger
man military temperament disclosed its
weaknesses at the Marne, just as it
was to disclose them at every other real
crisis of the war. Complacency and un-
justified contempt for the enemy at
Grand Headquarters swiftly null;fied
the effect of the really brilliant initial
successes of the 1914 campaign.
Germany might not have been able to
crush France in September, 1914. 1t is
not clear that she would ever have been
able to crush France, even with the
Wlsest use of her superior resources.
But with more alert and wary leader
ship she might easily have gathered in
the first months of the war the full
fruits of her almost unopposed march to
Paris. She might have compelled Foch
to abandon the French capital, as she
had already compelled the Belgians to
evacuate Brussels.
At the First Marne Germany threw
away the hope Of an imposing victory on
the West front. Circumstances now com
PEELED her to turn for victory to the East

successfully begun and then botched her
campaign in the West under conditions
which were extremely favorable to the
offensive. The Allied armies were pain

artillery. The power of the defensive

perfection of small arms and field guns.

from her But the immediate results Of
the eruption through Belgium were Of
enormous military value. The German
armies obtained lodgment en- French
soil at very little cost. They secured the
''elbow room" which they needed and
which they would have lacked if they
had based their offensive on Metz. They

best chance to make itself felt.

The War of

The Marne campaign was thus fought
along the old lines of open warfare. #
was decided as the Napoleonic campaigns
or the elder Moltke's campaigns were de-
cldod--by manmuvring and by field op
erations without shelter. The Marine
campaign WAS, in sense, a military
anachronism. 1t was inevitable that
modern armies should seek to protect
themselves. If fixed Notifications above
ground had become valucless the troops
would have to dig in in the open. wher-
ever they were. SO the trench system,

Sea Murder
Unnecessary

Germany could have conformed her
U-boat activities to the accepted rules
of warfare at sea and still have derived
an immense advantage from them. She
did, in fact, live up to the international
code in her campaign Of 1918 against
shipping on the American coast. But
the spirit of excess and frigbtfulnes
was in her blood. Because Great Britain
set up a cruiser Gordon blockade. which
infringed on the existing neutral prop
erty rights, Germany tried to set I'D
''sublnarine blockade,' which abolished
the safeguards hitherto thrown about the
lives Of neutrals and non-combatants.
Yet even in this misguided venture
fortune was still constant the Kaiser.
The sinking Of the Lusitania on May r.

government had stated its position in

did what he had been told he would be
