The President would scowl, the nevspajcrs would howl, and the l'eopie don't seem to give a darn so what's the use? Be ides, there is enough to do passing appropriation bills. And so Congress is alroost süent; a little speech now and then, a vain effort on the ßoor or in comVnittee to get a resolu tion acted on the Works Re solution or the McLcmore Me xican Resolution and that is all; while our soldiers die in Mexico, and our militia is call cd out for some mysterious rcason, by no means ccrtainly connected with the Mexican Situation. No ordinary mortal can give a clear, connecterf guess at the truth of the Mepcican Situation. It is a mystcry, and there are inany things to be suspected which it is not pleasant to suspect. Back of the public show there are mighty- forces at work. There are forces which und! of oil the oil which is $o riecessary to the English Navy. Thcrc are forces with thegrime of tlie mincs about them. There are English forces, Wall street forces, Japanese forces. Men who know Mexican and Border conditious assert that, despite the almost divinely high-mind-ed words of the Administration, it has Jong -been-the intention to proceed by sure Steps to the nnexation of a large part of Northern Mexico. Congressmen will teil you that the anxiety of the Administration to recog nize Carranza, appoint an Am bassador to him and maintain him in power, has been due to the need of a recognied govern meut which, at the right time, caa agree to the sale pf a part of its territory and its people. This would be a more genteel vay than to roughly go in and take what is wanted. Or again it is surmised that the recog nition of Carranza was to give every appearance of an inten tiorT toleave the Mexican na tion alone, while at the same time American money paid Vil la and other bandits to raidour borders and create a Situation which would move by irresist iblc steps to Intervention; all the while preserving that at jnosphere of infinitely incompar ab!e sanctity witjiout which the Wüson Administration would bc only as other rnen ; and, like a certain character in the Bible, the Wüson Administration thanks God daily that it is not like other men. It is certain that some ter rible forces, some great, world moving, mysterious, irrespon ib!e forces, playing behind the vcil. are using human lives, with utter callousness, as pawns in a heartless game. The detesta tion of humanity will be theirs ?omc day when secrets are dis :losed; would that we could be sure that punishment would be theirs also, but who ever suffer ;d a just punishment for the theft and oppression of India uid Egypt? It is certain, as icores of press despatches "Mtow. inai rnc inaiuruv 01 ine people of Mexico are .disposed to act like perfectly civilized human beings toward Ameri :ans.The despatches.showing that they have the air of uncormious authenticity, while there is a mysterious hatiness about the vcounts f anti-Americaa riots and danger To be sure, ban rlits are still committing murd f rs bitt who ins.tigates them ? And why are they not suppress ed either by the American army or the Carranzista forces,' either ni which are perfectly able to do the jol) ? What a suspickms friend ship obtains between the Car ranza cfficials and the Ameri ican oficers and consuls along the border and in the ieierie For What? Kennedy. and Events".) of Mexico? If they were en- gagcd in perfect co-operatkm in a long-drawn-out but accurate ly played game, they could not do better. Could anyone suspect that Don Venustiano Caranza is ready to send bis people, in flamed with the belief that their country is being foully attack ed, into battlc at the right Moment, and, when the game iz up, depart for Spain or "that gay Paree," with a trunkful of money and the haloofa tnartyr? Well, it seerns that the inva sion rnust really corne. After all, the Mexican people are politic ally inconipetent; jf they were not, none of these stränge do ings could be done. We can at least justfy our actions on the score of racial superiority; we acted on that basis in 1846. On ly for dccency's sake, Ict us frorn this rnornent stop con dernning Austria for her firm course of chastisement against Serbia. Let us try to make this bloody adventurc purge us, at least, of some hypoerisy! Ca lifornia, Texas and other west ern slates were once part of Mexico . Looking t them now, with all their faults, we know that they are better, being in our hands, than they would be had they remained part of Me xico. Racial superiority let us act courageously on that right! Certain it is that the present Situation is never going to end with all of Sonora and Chihua hua still Mexican. Meanwbile, there are dangers in the mobilization of the mili tia and in the talk of a call for volunteers. The Regulär Army of the United States, ai'Ied by the Navy and the Marines, ef ficicntly and vigorously used, are amply sufficient to reduce all Mexico, at least down to the City of Mexico and Vera Cruz. A part of the Militia should be used to patrol the border which would need far less pa trolling if the army were vigor ously going about its maln job. What then.is the secret of the stränge course that has been followed? Why has the army been held inactive, .while the Carranza forces have had time to gather; while the, bandits, because of the reduced border patrol, have had plenty of op portunity to commit their murd ers and rouse ever more and siercer passions; while mufli tions makers have had time to seil and ship millions of rounds of ammunition to the prospect ive enemies of the soldiers of th;ir country? Is it merely do prolong the erecitement? Is it merely to drag out the process of striking the blow under a vcil of sanctity? Or is it hoped, by taking so many thousand men out of the States, to make it difficult or impossible for them to vote on election day? Or is it supposed that, being in the army, they would almost all vote to uphold the äncumbent Administration, the head of which would then be their Com-mander-in-Chief? Is the pro pective war based on the idea that a War President always ins? Or is the army being swollcn under the Mexican pre text to be used against Ger many if another quarre! can be picked? Or is there somthtng in the ghastly Suggestion made not long since in the New York Times, that a way has been found to disfranchise all Amer ican citizens of German birth, on the ground that in taking the oath of allegiance they re nounced the German Emperor, when as a matter of technical fact, they should have renoun ced German sovereign, such as the King of Saxony, the Grand Duke of Baden, etc., to whom their allegiance was really due? If such an attempt were made, would not a vast army, sworn to implirit obedience to Wöod row Wilson, concentrated in Strategie points throughout the country, be most serviceable? Stranger things have happened to free peoples. It. will hardly do to scout such an idea orwax indignant over it, for the Sug gestion of such widespread dis franchise rnent has already been made, publicly and seriouslyl It is all a bloody, dark and dreadful business. Perhaps the best that can be hoped is that our armies will soon actually go for ward for ward thron gh the burning deserts, into the grirn mountains of Mexico. We can be sure they will fight well., We can hope that they will con duct thernselves well in späte of hot rnold and the ugly passions that seize rnen out to kill. Wo, can pray that the kpcr rcsultj will be the advancernent of civi- lizatiou; the vindicatwn of the principlc of racial superiority. But let us, oh for (lecency's sake let us ceae to point a fin ger of Rcorn at F.urope! And let us keep a close watch on the Pacific.

Enxiand admita tbe loss of Kenr Admiral Hood, stear Ad miral Arbuthnut, sour fleet captains and at loaat 4,000 men. Germany seeins to have loBt no offirer of couslderable rank and Kngland plac ps tbe Gorman logses at ilOOü men. Therefore there can be no tiuestion aa to which slde tot ttio worst of it.

It strikes us the point of greatest interest is Just this. How were the fleets matched, which preponderated lu ships and guns, and ship for ship and gun for gnn did England make good her proud boast ot naval bu preiaacy! Here, unsortunaely, the record is not clear. Kngland clalms only a fraction of her Norta 8ea 3oet was engaged. Germany says It all was engaged while only a part of her own was in action. One raust doubt the latter part of that State ment. Her naval baae was too close at band for any conslderable part ot Tho Present Situation in Germany. By 8. 8. When I lest Gerniany on April 26 the Situation was this: Food was meager bat sufflcleiit, the only anxiety being the coming harvest, which no one could foreeast. Th supply of milk was about 60 per eont. of normal. There was over 95 per cent. the usual number ot milch eows, but on aecount of a par lial failure In fodder erops, and in ability to Import cattle foods, the supply of milk had decreased about 40 per cent, The bealth of the Ger man people was getierally above normal, lncluding the mn at the front. The most signitlcant fact was the decrease ot ins ant mortality, which both in Belgium and Germany was Iower than ever before Jn Ute hlstory of the country. s This was the Situation the latter part of April. The Jätest definite new aa to food and bealth In Ger many is frorn Herr von Batocki, the food minister of the German emplre, and tbe hlghest food authority, who sald on June 25, just two monthi after l lest Germany: "There could be no talk of under nourishment among the people. In restigation, especlally in the in dustrial regions, found the women and chllriren looking heallhy." There were repnrts of food riotg always ou'slde of Gerniany. 1 could find no traces of food riots. I found the German peopie absolutely confident of victory, . The latest Information regard in g the general Situation in Germany is to be found in the London "Times" of June 22. I gte herewftb some quotatlons frorn tbe "Times" articie. which will shov that there was no Charge in the Situation in Germany bfctween April 26, when I lest, and Üie latter part of June, when the following artiele wen written: "An Intereatlnst deseription of present eondüiops In Germany and of tho state of mit.d of the German peoplü ls given by on who lest the enemy country a fv days ugo fter a ftay which begn hesora the war.

It was in that rnouth that th r,?ssure really bejtan to bo feit ond ihe coniplaints were loud and general. "A good de?.l Is being written about TOod riots in Germany, but I never iaw any rlotlng, aml I think I ean 'xplain the circumstances which may iave gie rlse to the Btories. The ilatrlbution of articie like meat, 'our, sugar und butter is regulated, !y the town councils or distrlet Boards. On a certain day a limlted luantlty of butter or sugar may be relpased for sale by a shopkeeper. Th news ls quickly known. and frorn every house women, children and servanta hurry out with their tickeU to get a ab are ot the supply.
