They are going to insist that their party
turn its back on the blunders of the recent
years and tackle the adjustment of the
industrial questions and the questions of
foreign trade and domestic commerce in
the same broad-minded spirit as their
fathers attacked the questions of their
time.
The formulation of the issues has
already begun. The collapse of the Demo-
cratic party in it's handling of the rail-
roads and the telegraph and telephone
lines and in its laundering blindness in
dealing with the coal and the steel strikes
and the sugar shortage is what was to be
expected from party which has in mod

REFERRED TO MR.. LODGE

MOT long ago an army train manned
y entirely by soldiers passed close to
this city on the way to Baltimore. 1t
was loaded with steel containers filled
with poison gas fifty times moro deadly
than any used in the war. The gas was
an American invention. Americans de-
vised an aerial torpedo, a self directing
airplane, which was intended to drop
projectiles filled with this compound on
enemy cities.
Chemists say that one such shell would
have exterminated the population of
Berlin. If the Germans had used this
gas, instead of explosives, when they
were bombarding Paris, few people would
have been alive in the French capital
after the first shots. The Wrights per-
fected the aerial torpedo at Dayton and
a chemist from the Northwestern Uni
versity compounded the gas. The work
of these men was completed shortly be-
fore the armistice was signed. 1t is too
much to suppose that scientific men in
other countries have been idle.
A great many people are talking of
"the next war" Few of them have any
conception of the means by which it will
be fought.
The containers taken to Baltimore held
all the new gas made thus far, They
were loaded on a ship and sunk some
where in midocean.

BEHIND CARRANZA

OUNCE Mexico is pressing issue that
~ seems to grow more complicated and
threatening in spite of anything that can
be done in a spirit of patience and for
bearance at Washington it will be well
for the people of this country to scruti-
nize it calmly. We ought not to permit
ourselves to be deluded by surface evil
dences which never mean much in any
international controversy.
Carranza is a vain and visionary old
man. 1t would be like him to give fur
tive aid to Bolshevists or l. W. w. agents
or any one with wild dreams of revolu-
tion in the United States. He gave aid
and comfort to Germans and pro-Ger-
mans. Yet he is but an incident in
Mexico. The forces that lie behind him
are permanent and far more dangerous
and perhaps even less friendly to the
United States. They are the highly
emotional groups of able, educated and
energetic men who form the background
in Mexico City and do more than any
president to inspire the national policy
with relation to foreigners and foreign
interests.
The Mexican intellectuals are rela-
lively small element, but they are all
powerful. They are influenced to large
degree by Continental education and
training. They have a temperamental
dislike of America. And even the few
sincere patriots among them are i'm
movable in the conviction that the United
States has long been determined to seize
large portions of Mexican territory
The Germans moved heaven and earth
to spread that delusion in Mexico during
the years of the war. And certainly some
of the propagandists of intervention in
Washington have done good work along
similar lines. We have few friends among
Mexican officials. And even the few en-
lightened and influential natives who
really know the United States and it's
motives find it impossible to rid them
selves of belief that we will make
war of conquest upon them at some time
or other.
The Mexican conference held at
Atlantic City after the Vera Cruz Incl
dent served to reveal the depth of this
feeling. Representing Mexico on that
occasion were many extraordinarily able
men. They were cosmopolitan. They had
honorable careers behind them as bank
ers and railway executives, engineers
and scholars. They would not or could
not understand Secretary Lane when he
assured them, as the other representa-
tives of the United States did that we
had no unfair designs on their country
and no desire to profit at its expense.
They smiled cynically and changed the
subject. The end of the conference left
Mr.. Lane and his associates in despair.
One of the Mexicans was accompanied
by his two daughters. They had been
educated abroad. They were clever and
brilliant and, like all Mexican women Of
breeding, they were good horsewomen
Leaving they smiled on one of the men,
bers of the American delegation with the
utmost friendliness.
"You will not have an easy war;. they
said. even the women will fight your
soldiers. And we will ride with them"
