:. Mr.. Fall, who will preside over the
eenate's investigation of the Mexican
situation, promises thorough piece of
work, and says it will last many weeks.
1t should last long enough to reach
the bottom Of the whole complicated
.basiness.
Disorder in Mexico has prevailed for
'years-ever since Diaz, was forced out
of Office and out Of the country. True,
there have been periods when the
Mexican news was less exciting to the
outside world than at other periods.
This did not mark cessation of turbu-
1ence, but only testified to the fact
that the difficulties about getting the
hews in and about a backward coun-
try have been greater at some times
than at others. Banditry has been a
eeentinuous performance. The show
has mover stopped.
Foreigners have suffered heavily.
Lives have been taken, and properties
Of great value destroyed.
Americans have been the chief sui.
ksrers. A special prejudice against
them seems to have been created and
3estesed. The mssses-largely igno'
1aAt-have been taught to regard
Anasass - the enemy Of Mexico, and
-. 1sal1saa a. overriding and annex.

Pershing's Return.


morning. He was given a tremendous
welcome on his arrival in New York.
on the Leviathan. and from now on he
will be accorded enthusiastic recep-
ton wherever he goes. He will ap-
pear in parade at the head Of the LIST
Division in a few days in the march
of that unit through the streets of New
= York, and on the 18th will appear in
a similar manner here in Washington,
On the occasion of the grand review
that will eeremonially mark the end
Of American participation in the war.
An exceptional honor has been be-
slowed upon Gen. Pershing in his ap-
pointment as general of the American
armies for life. He has earned this
rank by his distinguished services as
head Of the American expeditionary
forces. 1t is an honor that has been
bestowed upon but few American SOL
diers, and all of them have in the
same way won it in the field.
Gen. Pershing's services in France
were the more valuable because of the
difficulties attending them. He went
into a foreign country in the midst
of the war that had lasted for two and
. half years, with the armies of three
nations grouped in defense against the
might of the central powers. The
American commander had more than
the task of military leadership assign
Cd to him. He had to adjust himself
to considerations Of diplomacy, to diff
6eulties arising from q mixed com
mand. He was not wholly his own
master in the handling of his troops.
He had to render the utmost service
IS required by the peculiar condition
Of the grand defense without merging
the identity Of his army with those of
the allies. It was not for several
months after his arrival that the al
lied command was unified under the
leadership Of Foch, and until then
Pershing's role was beset with diff
eulties which he avoided and overcame
with exceptional skill.
No American commander ever con-
Quoted a campaign in such circum-
stances, three thousand miles from
home, on scale never before known,
with communications imperiled by the
enemy's submarines. with possible jeal-
ousies to be averted, with the enemy
strongly entrenched in positions that
had defied the tremendous efforts of
England and France.
1t is well established that the Ameri-
can forces turned the tide of battle.
German commanders have so aeknowl-
edged. The excellence of our organi-
zation, our personnel, our materiel,
and the assurance of unlimited support
from home told in the crisis. Our
men went into the fight in an exalted
spirit and with an efficiency that was
the marvel Of veteran leaders of
troops who could scarcely credit the
creation of a first-class fighting force
20 quickly in country that had prac-
tieally no basis Of military prepared
ness.
Gen. Pershing has borne his honors
spedestly. He comes now to receive
s4fem his fellow eountrymen the tokens
Of their admiration and objection and
gratitude for the splendid manner in
SNhieh he has maintained the American
honor in the foreign field of war. Ac-
claimed by foreign leaders and people
in measure that has put the severest
tests upon him, he now sets foot again
Rpon his native soil with q record of
achievement that has no parallel in
American history.

WILSON AND %BOLsHEyISM.

FRANK H. SIMONDS, the author
of 1.-THE Great War" and a military
authority whose words on the great
conflict just ended has been accepted
above all others, has the following to
saw of President Wilson and his word
in Europe in behalf of universal
peace:
"But if the President is being at
tackled by one wing for having failed
for having stayed in Europe instead
of quitting and coming home, thus
bringing about a general crash, l:
seems to me he deserves the approval
in TINS respect Of all thoughtful men
who dc not relieve that even Bolshe-
vism from one end of Europe to the
other, with possible spilling over into
America was a small price to pay for
putting certain liberal or ~so-called
liberal ideas into effect. If Mr.. Will
son, when he found Clemenceau and
Lloyd George could not follow his
ideas without falling, had quit Europe,
I firmly believe there would have been
Bolshevistic explosions from the chan
mel eastward, and, perhaps, in Brit
ain. Germany might have o the
war; France, Italy and Europe have
been ruined"

Loss of Annette

AS a general rue there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and if
you skip a meal or only eat two meals
a day for a few days you will soor
have a relish for your meals when
meal time comes. Bear in mind that
at least five hours should always clap
Sc between meals so as to give tbs
food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a see
ond meal is taken. Then if you cat
no more than you crave and take .
reasonable amount of outdoor eXer-
else every day you will not need tc
worry about your appetite. When thc
loss of appetite is caused by constipa,
ton As is often the case, that should
be corrected at once. A dose of Cham
