NEW YORK. May 21.-Peru's first
ambassador to the United States, Dr..
Francisco Tudela Varela, as the
guest of honor OF the Pan-American
Society a: a luncheon here today to
welcome him to his new post, de-
clared that Peru considers with
sincere qualification the decisive
part which has fallen to the United
States in the process OF world con-
struction."
None may question the authority
with which the United States today
addresses the world" he said. since
this authority springs from the most
evident impartiality and from the
clearest sense OF the duty which des-

JUSTICE TO FRANCE

An American official the other day stood and looked over
the ruins of verdun and its surroundings. 81 cannot write
much about it." he says, "but / shall have much to tell YOU
And he wondered over the task of rebuilding what the Ger
mans have cast down. Fl
ments-let us not forget to think of what has been done in
France, as well as in other lands. And let us remember
that justice has not changed since the war and that eternal
justice still means that they who did these things so wan
tonly must still pay the price. s.
The saddest note in the dispatches is that which speaks
Of what the Germans can do, as distinct from what they
have done. There is here no room for worry over the vast
ness of the work and the burdens that must be imposed
upon them in the peace terms.
They have their cities and villages and farms and factor
les intact, while those of France are all in ruins. What
sort of justice would it be to let them go to work taking tho
markets of the world while the French were engaged in re-
building their ruins. That is what the Germans had deliber-
ately in their minds when they wrecked the factories and
industries of France, to cripple their competitors for years
to come. 1t is the business of the peace conference to see
10 it that France is given an equal start in the remade world

THE NEW ARMY ORGANIZATION

The plan proposed by the general staff for the divisional
organization of the army, to be newly created by the next
congress, is novel and interesting. 1t appeals to sentiment,
and there would seem to be no reason why it should not
work out satisfactorily.
The underlying idea is to have the new army, like the
of the people. The establishment, the temporary strength
of which will probably not be in excess of five hundred
thousand, will be decentralized regionaly, so that there will
be an army base in as many as eighteen sections of the
country. The recruiting will be localized, and men from Ne
vada, for example, will ordinarily be assigned to some di-
vision which has its headquarters on the coast or in the south
west states. This system has long been employed in Europe,
and it ought to help to make service in our army attractive.
1t is an admirable feature of the plan to perpetuate the
numbers of the national guard and national army divisions
that have distinguished themselves in the war. The peace
time army will not be large enough to provide for reviving
all the units that are entitled to be memorialized in this way,
but the list as proposed is genuinely representative of our
celebrated fighting divisions.
Up to this time such attachments have been possible
only to units no larger than a regiment The long and valor-
GUS history Of the first United States infantry, or the tragic
episode of the seventh cavalry-the Custer fights an in
SEPARATION for their officers and men. Among state troops, the
sixth Massachusetts,, the seventh and sixty-ninth New York,
and Rhode Island Battery A have acquired traditions which
make service with them especially attractive, generation after
generation. Many new ones will be added to the list that
will remind us of the war fought by this generation.
From the close Of the Civil war to the creation of the
American expeditionary force-excepting only the brief in
terval of the war with Spain-a unit of the size of a division
was never modified. For a long period, indeed, the whole
scattered army had only the aggregate strength of a division.
But for the war with Germany we raised the army by divis-
ions, and had forty-one in France when hOstlities ceased.
Had the conflict been prolonged into another year, the divis.
ions might have been swallowed up in corps. In the MARIA
tive of the campaigns of the Civil war, the corps is the out
standing unit of distinction. But the story of the war with
Germany is the story of the divisions, and the numerical
designations of those that met and conquered the foe are
written large in our nations annals. BY all means let as
many of them as possible be perpetuated in our army.

OFFICIAL CLUB NOTES NEVADA
FEDERATION Of WOMAN'S CLUBS

The press committee OF the Ne
vada Federation OF women's clubs
has, at last, taken up its duties .or
this year. During the influenza
epidemic very few II any of the
clubs in the state were able to
hold meetings, so the work Of the
federation remained at a standstill.
At the present time most of the
clubs have resumed work and find
many new problems awaiting solu-
tion. Others have devoted their en-
tire time to Red Cross and other
war activities and as a consequence
are without a general program, but
with the reconstruction work that
is confronting them they will have
plenty to do until the yearly fed
GRAFTON meeting, which will be
held in Elko. The date of this
meeting has not been decided upon,
but 1t will probably be set for the
latter part OF May.
The Nevada federation was hon
ored by having three young ladies
from this state sent to France to
assist in the work of the furlough
homes. 1t was originally intended
that only two from a state would
be chosen, but delays In applica-
tions and filling out blanks prop
erly made 1t impossible to carry
out this point to a letter, and as a
result Nevada. who lost no time
in properly filling out all blanks
and returning the same promptly.

MISUNDERSTANDING
ON MEX BORDER when
U.S.GOES DRY IN JULY
AMERICAN BUSINESS MEN PRO.
TEST AGAINST
"OASES"

LAREDO, Tex, April 8. =
Whether Mexican cities along the
border will become GASES for Gin
ternational drinkers" when Ameri-
ca adopts prohibition in July has
not been determined, despite some
leanings in this direction.
A movement recently was start
ed to have passport restrictions re-
moved, throw open the internation-
al bridge and run weekend excur-
sion trains into Mexico. 1t was
proposed to establish big gambling
houses, cock pits, bull rings and
prententious drinking emporiums.
American business men vigorously
protested on the ground that the
trains passing through American
towns would bring only a reputa-
ton for lawlessness.
The Mexican government has not
indicated it's attitude in the mat
ter and seems disposed to let the
liquor problem solve itself. Local
officials are represented as not
wishing to deny their citizens pro-
fits that American prohibition
might bring.
Mexican cantineros have thrived
in the year that Texas cities have
been dry under the Texas military
zone law. Passport regulations
permit persons living within ten
miles of the border to pass from
one country to the other on a local
permit. Many American residents
visit Mexican towns daily to obtain
drink. American authorities have
prevented smuggling Of liquor into
the United States.
Medical authorities predict that
unrestricted border traffic would
have a serious effect on the army's
campaign against disease.
All suspicious visitors from Mex
leo are searched by customs Off
GERS for contraband liquor. AS a
result of this strict supervision.

can drink that formerly sold for

HITCHCOCK CANNOT SEE 1T

Senator Hitchcock, trying to reply to the suggestions Of
Elihu Root, a week ago, reverted again to the nonsense that
the Monroe doctrine is applied to the whole world under
the league of nations as it was proposed. Mr.. Taft tried to
believe that way for a while, but he had to give it up. And
the latest utterance of Hitchcock indicates that he now gives
it up.
There is nothing to such a notion and there can be moth
ing to ii. When the Monroe doctrine is applied to the whole
world it becomes a bit Of nonsense and nothing else can be
made out of it. When it is SO applied there is nothing left
of it.
In the very nature of things such a doctrine cannot be
applied to the whole world, for the doctrine means simply
that there shall be no intervention of European or Asatic
nations in the affairs of the two Americas and that none
shall come over here to set up colonies or protectorates of
any kind under any pretense.
How can such a doctrine be applied to the whole world?
If it is meant that the whole world agrees to accept and to
respect that doctrine, that is a different thing, and if that is
the purpose then it ought to be so stated and not left to con-
lecture. M
