The executives of Mexican border

ferent occasions Governor Hobby of
Texas, diligent in the protection of
the border counties, has met these
governors in conference at Laredo and
Eagle Pass. Each time they have
promised to give satisfactory aid in
bringing the outlaws within their own
states to justice. Little worthy Of
mention has been done, If anything.

government itself has made it's way

force of seven cavalry regiments, five

No Bolsheyism in France

From THE Remarking of France" by
Raymond Recouly, in Scribner's.
One often wonders If France runs the
risk of being won over to BolsheviSrn
For my part do not believe it, dc
not fear it. Bolshevisn, the beginnings
of which I saw develop in Russia, its
native soil, is the result of certain ma
terial and moral causes-hunger and
despair induced by defeat. Now, vic
torious France knows nothing of this
despair, and she does not suffer-has
never suffered. even during the war
from hunger. Undoubtedly our people
have endured privations, but there has
been food for every one. The demands
of the working mems unions can be-
come more or less clamorous, more OF
less violent. The best way of avoiding
clashes is to establish clear under
standing between labor and capital

Tardieu Declares Special

Andre Tardieu, high commissioner for
Franco-American war matters, declared
in speech today on the occasion of the
transfer of the ashes of Deputy Abel
Ferry. who was killed in action during
the war. Captain Tardieu said that in
order to form that republic France must
take to heart in the time of peace the
lessons learned in the war. He laid
special emphasis on the economic and
financial changes that must take place
The unanimous feeling of the nation

said. THE huge French efforts viii

reconstruction, not merely the recon
struction of those regions of France
which have been destroyed by war, but
of the whole of France
1T is. however, most important that
the nation while clearly understanding
the great weight of the task, should not
be alarmed unduly. Figures are, after
all, conventional to a certain degree,
and the true value of a billion today
is only one-half of what it was 20 years
ago All the same we shall have to pay
great sums.

has just signed a large perspective IL

which she sees clearly the future form
