Serving Notice on Mexico.

Secretary kellogg statement seIV-
ing notice on the Gales government
of Mexico that it can expect the sup
port of the United States Government
"'only so long as it protects American
lives and rights and complies with its
internatio obligations and engage
ments, comes in the nature of sur
prise to the country. For no sign OF
unusual strain between the govern
ments at Washington and Mexico
City has recently appeared, and no
specific exceptional cases Of injustice
to American rights in Mexico have
become public. There are pending al
ways, Of course, complaints Of i'm
positions and claims for damages aris-
ing from disregard of proprietary
rights and contract privileges, but no
fragrant instances have lately come to
light. Hence the conclusion is inevita-
BILE that the State Department is aware
of conditions in Mexico that are cause
for concern.
The hint is pointedly conveyed in
the Secretary's statement that the
It Is evident that some apprehension
Is felt that another revolution move
ment may be impending. Secretary
Kellogg says on this subject: Il very
much hope this is not true" Yet it is
plain from the text of the statement
that the Secretary Of State puts Mex
leo on warning that the United States
will support the established govern
ment in that country only so long as
American rights and lives are pro-
tected.
Particular significance is to be at
tached to the formal statement issued
yesterday, inasmuch as it comes on
the eve of the departure OF Ambas-
sador Sheffield for his post after a
leave of absence. Usually diplomatic
instructions are not communicated to
the public. In this case, however, what
may be regarded as a transcript of the
instructions given to the Ambassador
has been spread not only before this
country but before Mexico as well.
This is an unusual proceeding, and 1t
must be accepted that it is actuated
by an unusual condition.
The universal hope in this country
Is that no trouble will develop in Mex
leo, or between Mexico and the United
States. The establishment of the
Obregon government, after a long
period of turmoil and change, was
welcomed here, and the success Of
that government was viewed with
general satisfaction as indicating that
Mexico had at last conquered the dis
orders incessant since the passing Of
Porforio Diaz. The election of Gales
as Obregons successor in a peaceful
balloting was taken furthermore as an
additional sign of established tranquil
lity. 1t comes, therefore, with a shock
to perceive in the present unprecedent-
ed pronouncement of the State Depart
ment a sign that these hopes are not
fully justified.

Sex No Factor in Lawbreaking.

No question whatever should be en-
tertained as to the propriety Of the
court-martial of two women, naval
nurses, on charges Of violating the
liquor laws. The accusation is that
these women were engaged in boot
Logging. If they are guilty their sex
should not shield them. The statutes
and the naval regulations are ex-
plicit. Members of the naval organi-
zation who break the laws and the
rules should be punished, not merely
for the sake Of the prestige of the laws
and the rules, but for the example to
be set for one Of the Governments
own agencies.
Respect for the law by the public
at large is weakened by examples of
lawbreaking by members and SER
wants Of the Government. No matter
how humble their positions, all who
wear the uniform, men or women,
should be scrupulous in their respect
for and obedience to the statutes.
There is no place in either the mill
those who violate their oaths in even
so relatively small matter as minor
bootlegging. A single importation
marks the spirit of disobedience and
should be punished.
These women will be given a fair
trial. If the charge is proved against
them they should be treated precisely
as any other member of the Govern
ments forces guilty Of neglect Of duty
or positive lawbreaking. If they are
proved innocent they should be alb
solved in the most public way Of the
charges that have been brought
against them.

Warren S. Stone.

Born on a farm in Iowa in 1860,
Warren S. Stone during his boyhood
wished to become a surgeon. His
father wanted him to study law The
lad ultimately went to work as fire
man on the Rock Island Railroad
Such is the way OF boyhood ambitions
and paternal aspirations. But Warren
8. Stone was not of the kind to re-
main always in the ranks of the in
dustrial workers. He possessed un-
usual qualities. He was diligent and
intelligent in his work and won pro-
he was faithful and skilled. But again
ne was gifted with vision for greater
usefulness, and he identified himself
actively with the movement in organi-
zation of his craft, becoming q mem
Der OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and rising in that associa-
ton through local office to the post
of president, or grand chief, in 1903
He was then still 'in the cab" of his
engine. Since then he has been one Of
ths outstanding figures in the world of
organized labor.
Yesterday Warren S. Stone died In
Cleveland, a mighty power in labor
and finance. For chiefly through his
guidance his organization has entered
into business operations. and he has
demonstrated a capacity for large con-
structive financial enterprise that has
carried his brotherhood far afield and
has wrought a material and a most
wholesome change in the relations of
the workers and capital. He promoted
first the construction Of a great build
fng az headquarters for the brother
hood, so skillfully managed that It
Evening star., 1925-06-13

paid for itself In 10 years and proved
a most profitable investment. He
planned and perfected the organization
Of brotherhood bank which has been
one of the marked financial successes
of this country. As a result Of these
achievements his organization at the
time Of his death is rated as pos
sessing interests worth over $780,
900, 900.
But not alone in the matter of busi-
ness success for his co-workers in the
engine cabs Of American railroads has
Warren S. Stone achieved success. He
had a remarkably clear concept Of the
obligations of organized labor, and he
steadfastly preached and practiced the
doctrine of cooperation. He strove
naturally for advantages and better
ments for his associates, but he al
ways held true to the principle that
organization entailed obligations, and
as result he possessed the confidence
not only of his own following but of
the railroad owners and managers.
The establishment under Warren s.
Stones inspiration Of financial insti-
tutions and operating corporations by
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers has been an achievement that
makes for the substantial and the per-
manent oetterment Of the interests of
labor through the stabilizing Of re-
lationships between workers and en-
ployers. He has done a more valuable
work for American progress, as a citi-
zen, than if he had followed the wishes
Of his father or his own boyhood de-
sire and gone into one of the profess
sions. He has left a monument Of
great success and has written his
name large in American history.
