D'Annunzio, Trotsky, Kolchak and others

Carrying Chips

In Mexico the American Investigator hears more often
than any other explanation for difficulties with that
country that Americans dcat understand Mexicans.
ought be clear to Mexcans however that Americans

ymen in Mexico hdnapings for and border ban

And in asking financial aid Of the United States Mexcans
should understand that capital naturally fearful Of social
DISCRIMINATION wants guarantees. That's nothing to
howl about against capital.
On the other hand Americans should understand that
government today is taking in income taxes and other
FERNS of taxation than American interests need pay

The war Is over. Definitely.
Up till now there have been doubts.
The Germans, of course, were licked, but
they didn't seem TO know it. And the gen.
eral sentiment in the allied countries was
that the war stopped too soon.
We were just getting good and ready.
Our mad was all up. We were finally adj
justed TO war and prepared to go on with
it for years.
In fact, we rather liked II. We we're en-

Of the boys had gone to war that the loaf

Then all of sudden there came the
Armistice. IL hit us as a baseball hits a
batter in the solar plexus. We were groggy
for n spell.
We thought at first, of course, that we
ought TO be happy and rejoice because the
cruel war was over
But we had got going so hard we could
not stop. We simply had to go on fighting.
The Germans having run away, we began
fighting each other.
Senator'S began to scrap. A number Of
them decided that as the Kaiser had quit
they must have somebody to hate, so they
picked on Wilson.
And the navy began to snarl
And the army began to quarrel
Everybody hated everybody else.
The Hearst papers discovered that it was
England after all that was our enemy, and
not Germany.
