BITTER AGAINST
UNITER STATES
Chilean Public Opinion Against
Uncle Sam As Result of the
Mexican Crisis.
Valparaiso, Chile. —Public opinion
nere 'is bitter against the United
States as a result of the Mexican
crisis. In an editorial The Union
asks if there is any international mo
rality and continues:
“The war in Mexico is the result
of a want of common sense and of the
revolutions in Mexico. The proceed
ings of the United States are not jus
tified. That country cannot be the
judge of foreign civil wars and ought
to have limited its protection to its
nationals and its frontiers. The war
against Huerta offends the Mexican
nation. The conflict will end as on
other occasions in a new dismember
ment of Mexico. The punishment is
out of proportion to the offense—the
incident at Tampico—and is a threat
against the rest of America.”
The Mercurlo says it is astonish
ed at the exfcessive importance at
tached to Jhe Monroe doctrine in Eu
rope. It adds that the Latin-Ameri
can republics are in the same condi
tion of perfect equality as other na
tions and are not subject to, and
never will accept foreign interfen
ence.

Severe Criticism, However, of
Pres’t Wilson in Some Par
ticulars By English Press.
London.—While acknowledging that
on broad grounds the American gov
ernment's action towards Mexico is
justified, The Nation severely criti
cises President Wilson.
“A statesman who interferes to re
store order,” it says, “may argue that
at some cost and lives and treasure
he is putting an end to intorelable
violence and cruelty but the states
man who sacrifices lives because
some ceremonial detail is lacking in
the ritual of an apology is behaving
with let'ity unworthy of a civilized
ruler.”
The Saturday Review says if the
intention is avowed to establish “a
stable and satisfactory government in
Mexico City, the United States can
feel certain that their action will be
watched with sympathy and approved
by the other great powers.”

agement of robbery, taxation and even
personal danger of employes lint, al

BLEEP.
The science arid poetry of sleep are
here:
Science has this In the Ixmdon
Globe:
Sleep begins in Its first phase by a
state of distraction. . . . Imme
diately afterwards, in a seeond phase,
these states of distraction pass into a
very delicate motor disturbance, due
to the absence of parallelism in the
axes of the eyes, or by the deviation
of their conjugate movements.
And poetry this:
Hloep hath Its own world,,
A boundary between the things mis
named
Death and existence Hlecp hath Its
own world.
And a wide realm of wild reality,
And dreams In their development have
breath.
And tears and tortures and the touch
of Joy.
And Shakespeare's “Sleep that knits
up the ravell’d shave of care." And
a host of others that you ran get
glimpses of in the anthologies.
As between science and poetry,
which gives you the truer Idea of
sleep?* Exchange.
