MEXICO DESCRIBED
IN TRAVEL LECTURE
Country as Safe for Tourists
as Any Other, Society
Told.

Travelling is as safe in Mexico as
in any other country, Maj. James c.
Sawders, distinguished photographer
and lecturer, told members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society last night
at the Washington Auditorium.
Maj Sawders pointed out that many
Americans base their opinion Of Mexi-
can towns on the result of brief visits
to FL Paso and other border towns
while on tranScont1nental tours Only
about per cent Of the Mexican pop
ulation can be claSsed as bandits, beg
gars and trouble makers and, contrary
to the accepted opinion, the Mexican
is an industrious worker. He is often
his own beast Of burden, carrying huge
cargoes from his rural home to town.
Donkeys cost but a few dollars, but
most of the natives are too poor to
own one.
OF some 10000, 900 inhabitants about
one-half of the Mexican population is
Indian, living in the NEST primitive
fashion. There is a radio in nearly
every rural town and moving pictures
from Hollywood are teaching the ma
tives English.
Slides and motion pictures illus
trating Maj. SawderS' remarks revealed
interesting phases of native life. In
dams of the plateau make pottery, cook
their meals IN open-air Kitchens, grind
wheat in grooved stones and live in
mud houses as did their ancient an
cestors. Maj. Sawders reached Xoche-
milco, the Venice Of Mexico" during
the Mardi GraS when the main street"
was a parade ground for a thousand
gayly decorated boats.
Mexico City, according to Mai.
Sawders, presents both the ancient and
modern life of Mexico.
Slides of some of Mexico's 100 or
more pyramids which were built by
ancient inhabitants revealed exquisite
carving in stone.

Collie was arrested late yesterday be-

was alleged to have endeavored to burn
the body of George Walker, IS. Santa

AS the reception was in progress two
men were arrested for pasting more
than 1000 posters derogatory to Grandi
on automobiles and shop winds along
Broadway They gave their names as
Gaetano MusSeonne and John Casteli
and pleaded guilty. They will be SEN

One hundred officers met Grandi's

He praised Grandi as a soldier and
statesman, and pinned the medal of

Grandi replied by saying the flags of

nations.
The mayor rode with him back to

An Interesting Fact
FROM CITIDEL TO CHURCH-OLD
FORT CUMBERLAND

After the surrender of Fort Neces-
sity, General Washington, on July A,
1854, returned to. Wills Greek, Md.
and began the erection of fort on the
site where the present City of Cum
berland, in Allegany county, now
stands, and named it in honor of the
Duke of Cumberland, commandef-in-
chief of the British Army.
1t was here that Braddock assem-
bled more than two thousand men,
about half of whom were British reg
ulars, and wholly unaccustomed to
frontier life and warfare, and began
his fateful journey to subdue and cap
ture Fort DuQuense. 1t was of this
expedition that Braddock was describ-
ed as desperate in his fortunes, bru-
tai in his behavior and obstinate in
his sentiments" but intrepid and ca
pable," declared that "DuQuense can

GOV. RICHIE COUNTS HIM
SELF. OUT ....

Gov. Albert c. Richie of Mary
land, regarded himself as one of the
likely candidates for the Democratic
nomination for President, but in a
speech the other night he committed
himself to Wilsonian internationalism.
He said our era of isolation was over
and regardless of our traditions we
were in the maelstrom of world eco
Monies with no chance of making a
distinction between economics and
politics.
America never had an era of isola-
ton. Governor Richie and other Will
sonians talk as if the United States
were behind mountain barricade in
a valley and never came out of it. The
country has felt the effect of world
conditions, sometimes favorably and
sometimes unfavorably. The infant
republic began by fighting to make
Mediterranean trade routes safe to its
commerce from African piracy and
by competing with the British marine
for the Far East trade. 1t stepped
into world complications in its first
pair of breeches and has been in them
ever since.
Wilsonian internationalism which
Gov. Richie as a candidate adopts,
does not break into a monastic cell to
call America into the world, because
no such cell exists. The Wilson doc
trine insists that the United States
shall commit itself in advance of
events to certain courses of action
without knowledge of what the events
will be or where it's interests will lie
and do so by joining certain European
organizations and signing a number
of compacts. Americans who object
to this surrender of. independent judg-
ment are not isolationists nor are they
COMPOUNDED every time European
condition requires American atten-
ton. The United States has always
had to take into account the effect
events elsewhere might have on its
own conditions.
Mr.. Wilson thought it advisable or
necessary for the United States to
join world political organization and
sign away independence of action.
: Most of his fellow countrymen did not
think so. There is no evidence that
they have or should change their
minds. Although this country is not
isolated it has detachment, socially,
politically and geographically, which
is to its advantage. The first Presi-
dent recognized it and urged Ameri-
cans to keep it in mind. The advan-
tage has lost none of it's value.
It is probable that the Democratic
party has had enough of the repudiat-
ed internationalism in spite of the
Wilsonian elements in the party. 1t
is certain that the country at large
will not support this theory of Amer
lean entry into European declarations.
The Maryland governor has made it
improbably that he will go far in the
national convention of his own party
and impossible that he should go at
all as candidate for election-Chica-

In the construction of Fort Cumber-
land, troops from New York, North
and South Carolina were assisted by a
Maryland company.
1t has been indirectly asserted by
some writer's of the history of the
French and Indian War that Maryland
did not do her full share in providing
men and money for the defense of this
and other provinces against the dan
gers of attack. But the facts do not
bear out this assertion or inference.
We read in Scharf's History Of West
ern Maryland that after the compile
ton of Fort Cumberland, and after an
officer of the Colonial forces had writ
ten that "by the present situation of
the French, they are not to be driven
out of their forts unless our numbers
are greatly increased"
Governor Sharp, of Maryland, find
ing the military law defective, con-
vened the Assembly on December "a
(1754), which body passed law for
the levying of troops for the cam
paign. In passing, it is interesting to
note that at this session of the As
sembly what was probably the first
pension provision was passed, for it
was enacted "that if any citizen of the
province shall be so MANNED in the
service as to be incapable of maintain
ing himself, he should be supported at
the public expense"
Maryland did not find it difficult to
procure volunteer soldiers and more
applications for enlistment were re-
ceived than the Governor could make
provision. 1t was recorded in the
Maryland Gazette of February 6,
1855: eve are assured that in Ches-
tertown, in Kent county, several men
enlisted Immediately upon the arrival
of the officer in that town before the
drum was beat, and that the officer
who wanted but thirty men, got his
complement and marched with them"
More than century and three
quarters have passed since this old
fort witnessed the presence Of Wash
ington, Braddock, Governor Sharp, the
Revolutionary hero Cresap and a host
of Colonial pioneers who shaped the
destinies of this Republic, but our
gratitude and admiration for them
should increase rather than be
dimmed by the passing of time.
The familiar quotation from Isaiah,
"And they shall beat their swords into
pillow shares, and their spears into
pruninghooks; nation shall not life up
sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any MORE" is recalled
when we consider that on the site of
Fort Cumberland, erected for the sue
cessful prosecution of war, there
now stands Emmanuel Protestant
Episcopal Church, UNCOVERED and in
describably beautiful, erected in honor
of the Prince of Peace.

THE WILL TO PEACE

In a recent address in which he
urged the aid of the people to bring
about disarmament, Senator Robert
F. Wagner, of New York, said:
"There is no greater power at large
today than the depressed yearning of
all peoples the world over for uninter-
rupted peace. The topmost function
of modern statecraft is to utilize that
power. Those professed leaders who
attempt to balk and Illustrate the hu-
man will to peace, who pluck the an
cient strings of national hate and en-
Wy, of racial suspicion and fear, are
the modern traitors, traitors to their
native lands and to all humanity as
well.
reports from abroad are not very
encouraging. Altogether too many
sabres are rafting throughout
Europe. Too many young men in
gaudy uniforms are parading the
streets, too many rounds of ammuni-
ton are being burned up in target
practice, too much brain power, too
much inventiveness are being diver
ted from peaceful pursuits to prepare
for the next war, although in the pact
of Paris we all gave our sacred word
that such a dread event shall not
occur.
"These large provocative military
establishments are a dangerous hob
by. They who ride it are playing
with national passions, with national
suspicious and fears. They are play
ing game which has in the past al
ways eliminated on the blood-soaked
battlefield"
All of which is undoubtedly true.
But what is there that the people of
the United States can do about it?
We certainly are not responsible for
the thousand-year-old political and
racial hatreds of Europe. There are
no responsible leaders in America
preaching war, none preaching hatred
of any European nation. And we are
not taking part in military parades.
There is in America a profound de-
sire for peace. We covet the territory
of no other country in the world and
do not wish to send any other people
under the yoke. About the best we
can do is to 60 about our own bust
ness, seeing to it that Uncle Sam has
enough defensive armament to pre-
vent there being any war carried into
America, and helping restore the buy
ing power of our own market, which
is the greatest in the world. 24..,.s
Certain it is that our joining any
sort of international league or al
lance to enforce peace in Europe,
simply for the sake of getting a dis
armament agreement in Europe would
be poor business. We would lose our
own freedom of action in all interna-
tional crises and would be bound up
with all the political difficulties of
Europe.
If there is, as Senator Wagner says,
profound will to peace among all
of the peoples of Europe and they are
being held back by designing leaders,
it is up to the people to get rid of
these leaders and substitute some
with the will to peace. But the peo-
pie will not do this and this leades
to the suspicion that they are not so
anxious for peace as they let on, I'M
less it is peace based on their own
nationalistic requirements.
