WILSON'S WISDOM. We muat grant that the President s' wisdom In proceeding with reluctant feet In Mexico Is becoming obvious. At first. It seemed that since blood- I abed and fighting had begun since : the t**°Pl* of Mexico bad become In flamed at the Invasion of their eoun* I try and the occupation of Vera Crux, that the thing to do waa to make the victory decisive by proceeding to cap- ] turn and hold the City of Mexico, ll seemed that the longer the capture of ; the City Of Mexico was delayed, the iiinr* eteadlly the chances for Huerta to organise and stimulate 111 feeling to I the United Statea would be multiplied and. consequently the greater would l>e the ultimate slaughter. Hut Presi dent Wilson's decision to proceed wltth extreme deliberation nnd aa much consideration and kindness as Is con sistent with force and arms appears I already to have vindicated Itself, The Mexicans who ara In rebellion against Huerta were Inflamed with the news of Invasion from the United I Statea and Caranxn, Inflated with an j Idea of hla own power responded to { this feeling. Villa's better arnse coup led with hla artful little way of flat- ] taring Camilla haa given hla excited followers pause and now with the pressure of foreign powers upon Huer ta. the confused and distracted Mexl- j • ana are getting a chance to under stand. TH* conquest of anger and excite- 1 men* by Judgment takes time It is not to be had wiHioat waiting. Fury and fear blind even the ablest minds to their own advantage nnd If time for Deliberation Is noeded by able minds how much more la It needed by those badly Informed and hot-headed people i of Mexico. Huerta* desire to fuse all of the wsmng factions of Mexico In a « com mon Indlrnatlon against the United State* would have been readily ac complished if our forces had pro proceeded to Mexico City Immediate- i !>■ after taking Vera Crux It may he that we will yet have lo aettle with I the whole Mexican people, hut at 1,-sst we ajr* losing nothing in'giving them ! every opportunity to comprehend the | Hue spun In which this invasion of Mexico Is mode. In the end good f f*«*l - I in m Will l k d rvKimed the *n< ner ami it i Is qttM* probable that much Moodahct) and suffering will be N*ved. PRESS OF THE COUNTRY ON MEXICA N M UDDLE The Country Will See the Job Through. (From Iho New York Hun.) j The Job Is lnid out for usi and the American people ore going lo k< o U through. They are going to stand be hind the president and the flag. There insy be much less enthusiasm mani i fested for the. president than for the ling, but there won't be any eopper headlsin. There Is no use In looking backward Just now or In discussing pnst blunders of policy, theory or ac tion. There is no use at the present ! time In picturing the mlght-have : beens or in attempting to fix the re- I sponsible authorship of the w ar. These i questions muat now be left to hla ! tory. It is Tima to Strike Hard. (From the Boston Globe.i We eannot stop now Hny more than I a (toy who has set fire to a skyrocket can hold It down to the ground. Ob serving the latest rules of warfare, General Huerta has clothed himself In silence. Hut he is not Idle. No doubt, he Is doing his best to unite -Mexico, to prepare his defenses and to re vive the spirits of his weary troops. He may temporize to gain time. In the end he means that Mexico shall fight. Nothing but an overpowering force will surely bring him to reason and to peace The time tor salutes and salvos of applause Is past beyond the remotest possibility of recall. The only salvos will he those of shell anil bullet. We must face the situation frankly, ac cept all Its responsibilities and pursue our course with vigor and determina tion. The quickest way lo get any where Is to travel by the fastest pos sible means over the shortest route. The shortest means of ending our troubles with Mexico Is to descend upon Mexico with an Irresistible force of such proportions that It will be folly for the Mexicans to oppose seri ously Its onward march to peace, If we temporize, If we hesitate, If we show any reluctance to face the task which we have now undertaken, Iho opposition will stiffen apd Our Mexican War of 1846 (From the Brooklyn Eagle) In IX4ti, James K. Polk being presi (lent, tlie United Status Jmd a popula tlon of less Ilian 18,000,000. slightly in excess oT tho i resent population ot Mexico. Mexico had then a little more than 7,000.000. The ratio whs then approximately r> to 2 In dYir favor. If wo havo 00.000,000 now and Mexico has 15,000,000, the ratio Is 6 lit I Then, as now, our navy abso lutely dwarfed that in Mexico, which had three ItrlgH, two steamers, 18 smaller vessels and a total of only 42 guns. The United Stntos has 10 ships of the line. 12 first-class and tw° secondciuss frigates. 22 sloopg ol war, 11 steamers, nine schooners, eight brigs and four store ships. Mexico, then ns now, was split by dissension. Two months before our first move on the disputed territory between the Nueces and tho fllo Grande. Yucatan had broken out and declared her independence. Four months after war had ben declared a revolution, beginning at Vera Crux deposed Paredes, and brought hack Hama Anna. The first real battle op posite Mstamoras, hetw'oen 2.000 Americans under Zachary Taylor and 5,000 Mexicans was on Mav Bth, and 9th, 1840. We had 48 killed. The Mexican's dead numbered 262. Three days later our congress declared war. HOW MANY SOAPS CAN YOU NAME OFFHAND This is not a new story, hut It Is worth repeating, A friend went to a large soap man ufacturer nnd said to him "See here, you are spending a fortune In adver Using Why do you waste your money?" "How many soaps can you nameft asked the soap manufacturer. "How many soaps can you nun*?" all advertised brands. The War Magic of April (From the New York Evening Post). During April, In the almanac maker’s phrase, look out for war. Of our chief wars, only one, If we con shier that the wur of 1812 virtually began with Madison's 90-day embargo on April 4th, has failed lo date from thal month. Our Inst entangle com pletes a series of coincidences that i \icnds even to the day. April 19th. 1775. Parker mot Pttacairn at l,ex iugton; April 19. 1801, the first blood aw* shed nt Baltimore; April 19, 1898, the oint resolution with respect to Cuba passed congress; April 19, 1914, the ultimatum to Huerta expired. The one exception Is the first Mexican war. Ezekiel ltlglow dated his Inclosnre THE VOLUNTEERS “Tim Volunteers,” » »«nn oT the Mexican War period, aa* written by William Haines Lytle. Mr, Lytle was an Ohio man, and serv ed In tlie Mexican War and also In the Civil War. He was killed at rhlcktimauga, September 20, ISO,:. The Volunteers! The Volunteers -1 dream, as In the bygone years, 1 hear again their stirring cheers, , And sec their banners shine. What time the yet unconquered north I’onr- the wars her legions forth, For many a wrong to strike a blow With mailed hand at Mexico. The Volunteers! Vh where a'e they ! Who hade the hostile surges stay Wrtett the black forts of Monterey Frowned on their dauntless line* When, undlsmu'cd amid the shock Of war, like Cerro (iordo's rock. They stood, or rushed more madly on Than tropic tempest o'er San Juan. On Augoatura’a crowded field Their scattered columns scorned to yield. And wildly yet defiance pealed Ther flashing batteries' throats; And echoes the” the rifle's crack, Asfdeudi) j- when on the track strengthen throughout the length and bredth of Mevlco, bo that In the end our task will be tremendous, our loss of life deplornble, and peace an ever vanishing chimera. Ready to Move Against Foes of the United State*. fFrom the Worcester Telegram.) The unanimous response before the call to war of the Americans who have been trained at West Point, and the militia and Independent companies of state* shows plainly the spirit of the men of this country on the eve 'of war. There Is no hesitation, no dis cussion of the merits of the policy of the president, but with one voice, mop say defend the United States against all foes. It does not take long for the leaders In other countries to take note of that spirit. It Is the grea\ American asset In times of trouble. The American People Prefer Peace, (From the Boston Post.) Ho In this case It Is still possible lo hope that "watchful waiting" be fore the Mexican pqrtH may bring the "unequl vocal amends” called for by the congressional resolution end with out a general war. The people of this country, wlillng ns they are to aup port tho president and the govern ment to any lengths made necessary, prefer peace, If It can be had with honor. Th# Thing* to Be Feared. This country Is as big and Its an tagonist so small that defeat is not one of the things to be feaTed What we have to fear are loss of life, t|je disarrangement of our domestic af fairs, and the possibility of new and menacing problems, brought about by a lust for conquest, stirred up by this warfare, '"he danger of all of these things wl), be materially lessened ts events so shape themselves that our troops can quickly withdraw from Mexico. All good Americans wiU prayerfully hope that this will soon be brought about. flen. Scott's forces after hot fight ing at Vera Cruz and a series of en gagementu on the way, had a pitched battle with 14.000 Mexicans ut Mo lino Del Rev, the enemy being under tho personal command of Santa An na. This was September Bth, 1847. Within five duys tho City of Mexico had fallen, and on September 17th, a contribution of $150,000 was levied on the city. On December 21st, when nearly all the centers of population were In our hands, we levied on the Mexican states a llltamry contrlbu tlon of almost 2.000,000. The treaty of peace, Guadalupe Hildago, was signed February 2, 1848. It was amended by the senate in Washing ton. and was not formally ratified until May 20, 1848. By tie terms there was a vast Increase lir the ter ritorv of the United States. It took 21 months to bring Mexico to her knees in the former war. It should not take so long now. partly herautic of our far greater propor Donate numbers and wealth, partly because the experience In the Philip pines has given us a considerable xnimher of troops fnmlliar with fight ing like that which will have to he done of Mexico. The future Is al ways guesswork, the nearest thing to prophecy Is In the analogy of what has taken place In the past. “That is the hnswer," replied the soap manufacturer Out of the hurt dreds of coal’s made, you can name only six, and mine heads the list. .I can’t afford not to advertise." That Hoap manufacturer waa a large user of space In the dally news papers. He died the other day leav ing an Immense fortune and a name known from one enl of the country to the other. of his son Hosea's first poem, with Its picture of Boston recruiters rat tllug away on kettle drums to "Mis ter Eddyter,” in June, 1864. But eveu taht conflict had features appealing to the unretentive memory of school boys. The find blood had been shed by Taylor, April 24. six weeks before the actual declaration of wir; while Scott fought Uerro Oordo, April 18, 1847. The purely mathematical probabili ty of n continuance of April's distinc tion may be slight, but If peace so cieties should choose to tnterprctthls train of events as a peep into Our Sibylline leaves, they might be fore armed to tatke special precnulons due mg the third tyeek °Y the second month of spring.
