Europe today. 1t was lack OF hu-

civilized world into that cataclysm
which ended FIVE years ago.
Lack of human harmony has
caused the death Of nations, the
bankruptcy Of business institutions.
the ruin Of personal fortunes, and
the failure Of individuals over and

But what produces human har.

will, opinion. desires, or selfish
purposes on others without respect
to their rights and feelings? Or
is it meeting the situation with
broad vision, liberal heart and
clear thinking?
We have but to study our own

Agriculture in the United States.
Foreign demand for American foods
and grains has fallen off. Yet
American farmers for two years have
continued to produce in almost as

To remedy the situation, American
farmers are being urged to curtail
production to point more nearly
equal to the domestic demand. That

the advice is seen in the paintings

nounced that on arrival of the cruis-
err Richmond at Vera Cruz, probably
tomorrow. she would take aboard the
268 members of the crew of the
wrecked Tacoma who are ashore in
the rebel controlled city under pro-
lection Of American Consul Wood.
Captain Sparrow and 4S men of the
Tacoma's crew are still aboard the
stranded vessel and presumably navy
personnel will remain aboard until
wrecl<in gor salvage operations have
been completed.
Foreknowledge that the state de-
partment was preparing to issue
some statement with relation to the
Tampico blockade led to the strong
impression that the sending of Am
erican war vessels TO Tampico for
the protection of American commerce
and other interests was under con-
temptation. Cabinet officials did not
deny that the question had been dis
cussed during the day but the ma
ture of the state departments an

nothing that has not been known
to the public through navy depart
met statements ever since the Ia
coma went aground was the only word
obtainable in officials quarters with
regard to the situation on the Mexi-

1t has been emphasized in connec-
ton with the warning from the state
department to Adolfo De La Huerta'
revolutionary leader. against inter-
ference with American shipping pass
| ing in and out of Tampico. that the
Washington government had made
no threats. In view of the evident
desire in Washington to avoid !!
possible, any clash with the rebel
faction, it is conceivable that the
state department reiterated IN an
official way the purpose of the klcn
monds visit to Vera Cruz IN oroet
that there might be no misunder-
