Our Neighb0Y TO the S01ttl17mrd Starts Another RnzbQ
And the American
essThinks Some
thing Ought To Be
Done

'THE recent clash between
American troops and Mexi-
can rebels, when a detach-
ment Of United States cav
airy pursued Villista soldiers into
Mexican territory after shots had
been fired at American citizens on
the border, has excited lively COM
ment in the American press. The
trend Of this comment is to empha-
size the necessity not only Of pro-
tecting American lives and prop
erty but also of taking preventive
measures.
In view of the statement issued
by General Aguilar in behalf of the
Carranza government, that "the
government and people of Mexico
consider as violation of Mexican
sovereignty the crossing of United
States soldiers into Mexican terri
tory" the American press generally
declares that such violation of SOW
ereignty was, under the circum-
stances, out of the question. Thus
''The Indianapolis News" declares
that
with shots from the contending Mexi-
can forces about Juarez wounding per-
sons in Ell Paso, there was nothing for
the American troops to do but cross
the Rio Grande and stop tho riot. AS
General Erwin explains, this is not an
invasion Of Mexico, but merely neces-
sary police work to protect American
citizens and American territory. We
are at peace with Mexico and hope to
remain so, but we cannot countenance
at our doors Mexican hostilities that
endanger our people,"
"The Boston Transcript" believes
that nothing can be said" against
the action taken by the American
military command, Except that it
comes too late to save hundreds of
American lives and millions of
American property" and calls Sec
rotary Bakers solicitude for the
consent Of the Mexican government
unnecessary. We are told that "the
simple fact is that there is no law
and no safety there except as our
soldiers introduce it, "The Phila-
delphia Public LEDGER" on the other
hand, fears, it would seem, that the
matter is not quite as simple as
that. It reminds of "the existence
of influences at home who have been
working undisguisedly to bring
about an intervention in Mexican
affairs" and of the "existine
strained relations with the Carranza
government" But the most serious
danger, according to "The Ledger,
"is the absence of any evidence that
our government has evolved or il

acting on the basis of a definite pol
icy for dealing with the Mexican
problem"
4 Needed Lesson
"The New York Times" calls the
crossing Of the border by the Ameri-
can military needed lesson" and
continues:
"The time had come to break up the
practice of making Juarez a battle
ground with the design of involving
the United States with the Carranza
government and forcing armed inter
vention. Once too often the Villistas
tried 1t, and now they understand that
American troops coming across the
border on police duty will pursue them
to kill or capture, as a policeman
shoots at or seizes a criminal trying
to make his escape"
"The Philadelphia Press" calls at
tention to the incorporation of the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-06-22

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF FERNS

Some folks are the proud possessors of
ferns which have grown more beautiful
year by year. Others keep them for a
year or two and then they must buy new
ones. The indoor plant suffers much
at the hands of keepers who are ignorant
OF the care of fern-health.
Sometimes one sees the fern showing
signs of distress. The ground is damp.
II has lost vitality. The reason for this
generally is that the plant has been
given too much water. 1t could not
absorb all you gave 1t and the surplus
liquid turned into two acids which are
deadly to II.
When water has drained off into a
saucer do not allow 1t to remain there
with the idea that the plant will take it
up again when it needs it. Remove it at
once, for water that has thus been
drained off becomes stagnant and breeds
thread worms and other pests that work
their way through the drainage hole and
infest the plant.
Then another crime against plant
health is to have pots which are too
large.
One may argue that eventually the
plant will grow large enough to fill a
large pot so why not plant 1t in that
pot right now! II this plan is carried
out. every time the plant is watered a
certain amount of liquid will not be
absorbed by the roots and sour soil will
be the result.
Start the small fern in small pot
When necessary to repot the new pot
should be only a size or so larger than
the old one.
If the plant has become the victim Of
overwhelming and is now dropping take
steps at once to save It from an I'M
timely death.
Remove the plant from the pot, wash
off every particle Of sour soil from the
roots, repot in sweet compost bought
for the purpose. and place 1t in the
shade.
If fern has become bone-dry i'm
merse the pot in vessel of water deep
enough to cover the rim and you will
soon see bubbles arising. Leave the pot
In the water until the bibbllng ceases
and then drain In the shade.
The outdoor plant may be more in
teresting just now, but do not neglect
the indoor plant, because there will
come time when 1t will stay and the
outdoor plant will leave you.
