The success of the fiiltUh navy In battling
up the German ships with almost no serious
fighting ought to onrourago those who think
no one should be killed In war to favor a.
strong navy.
German politicians seem to be able to talk
as wildly as their American bretluen. For
Instance, the leader of the Conservative
parly In the Prussian Diet says that Amer
Icu, wants in prolong the war.
Our large contemporary, the Record, can

Mrs. Oakley's suggestion, that the best way

To .one demand of the garment workers the

that Is, that no work should be given out to
sweatshops unlets It cannot be done else

a "closed" sign across the door.
If the report of an Allied ultimatum to
Greece be true, and Jf Greece refuses to order
out the Teutonic envoys, the world Is hound
to hear a good deal about "the violation of
Greek neutrality" from Germany's official
apologists. The parallel with Belgium was
drawn at the time of the Franco-British land
ing at Salonlca, much to the prejudice of
Germany, which has always maintained the
justice of its course. But with every effort
to be fair to the Teutons, it is bard to see
that the Allies are without large Justification.
In allying themselves with Serbia they prop

THR rnltlesnakc on the coat-of-anns of
.Mexico Isn-! an accident. II Is a fuel. It
lands for half of tho Mexican chntneter, for
tho anarchy that bursts out In Mexico and
destroys the crust of civilization. On tho
coat-of-arms tho set pent is held light by
nn eagle which Is brother to the eagle of the
fnltcil States. In actual fact the serpent
has gotten away.
This Isn't the first time and It may not
be the last. For n bundled years tho t'nltcd
Stales has watched over Mexico, helping her
to Independence, making every effort to treat
her as a responsible State. Time after llmo
the eagle's Blip has gone loose, nnd tho
United States has been the first to suffer.
in tho past the action of this Government
has been effective only when it was certain
nnd quick. The lesson of a century Is that
Mexico Is a wayward child, which mistakes
Indulgence for approval nnd hesitation for
cowardice. If tho present Administration
could find time to lead the documents of Its
predecessors, It uoult rind r bright light for
Its path.
Other Presidents have pointed out that
path, but Andrew .lacksnn points with a
sword In his hand. The man who almost pio
voked a war with Great Britain by putting
two of her citizens to death In Florida In ISIS
was not the man to strain at an Imbroglio
with Mexico. He was not too proud to light,
and when all other means had been ex
hausted he wrote to Congress:
The Injuries the repealed nnd un
availing applications for redress, the wan
ton character of some of lb- outrages upon
the property and persons of our citizens,
upon the officers and flag of tho United
States would Justify In the ejes of
all nations Immediate war I lecom
mend that an act he passed ntithotiztitg
reprisals
President Jackson was not cynical when he
put tho word "property" before persons. In
1S37 there was no Benton murder, there was
no Vergnra assassination, there were no
seventy-nine British nnd American citizens
unaccounted for, ns there were between 1311
and 1913. The Insult to the flag was not a
Tnmplco, nor were the injuries to national
honor as grave as those which have discred
ited the I'nlted States since tho domination
of Huerta. Jackson asked for icprisals be
cause .Mexico had refused to pay claims
which weie admitted to be just. It was a
question of money and our right!
Politics was as rich a game In Jackson's
time as it Is today, nnd the reprisals asked
were not made. It remained for Van Huren
to continue negotiations nnd for Polk to end
them. The unr with Mexico Is the most spec
tacular step lu the liirtnry of the two coun
tiles; but, like many wpectnt-iilnr things. It
has no lesson. If n lesson Is to be learned.
It Is from President Buchanan, certainly the
least aggressive, the least warlike of men.
He was no fire-eater, but he wroto to Con
gress: Our citizens residing In Mexico and our
merchants trading theteto had suffered a
series of wrongs and outrages such as ue
have never patiently hoi no from any other
nation. Indeed, no confident had the
Mexican authorities become of our patient
enduiance that they universally believed
that they might commit these outrages
upon American citizens with Impunity.
Then, as now, there wn.s a lebel and a con
stitutional element In Mexico Buchanan
urged armed nnd Immediate Intervention in
favor of the constitutional authority, shut
ting off the danger of Kuropean meddling,
ending the revolution and safeguarding
American citizens.
The one thing which this country can spare
itself Is continued study of the motives be
hind our attitude toward Mexico. Unques
tionably they are high-minded. The fact
that twenty-six Americans were killed last
week without the slightest disturbance of
Washington's calm and quiet Is sufficient
proof of that. The country must discuss
methods, not motives.
We hae learned what Brynnlsm In states
manship means. "We are being murdered
and our property taken from us," cried
Americans. "Then get out," was the answer
of Mr. Bryan, as Secretary of State. "We are
going to enthrone humanltnrinulsm nnd
Utoplanlsm In Mexico If every American there
resident lias to be butchered during the
process," seemed to be the Administratlon'n
program, permeated aB It was with Bryanlsm.
What Is the result? One murderer has
been driven out and has died In exile. A
bandit hns been recognized In his stead. But
another bandit, his revolution in the throes
of dissolution, has deliberately set about the
murder of American citizens, designing
thereby to Induce intervention.
It Is evident that Vera Cruz should never
have been evacuated. It should have been
held as n hostage for good behavior.
We are unprepared for intervention, but
that would not deter us were It the wise
course. It never has In tho past.
But there Is one course which Washing
ton can take, and should take. The Carranza
Government should be notified that recogni
tion of it implies its ability to protect Ameri
can lives and property, that any further fail
ure on Its part to do so will mean the sending
of an expeditionary force Into the bandit
country to compel law nnd order.
That force should be bent, with or without
Carranz.Vs consent, in the event of further i
ou'''aBfs
The boundary lines of Mexico can be ie-
spectcd only so long as there is respect for
American rights within those boundaries.
AMERICANIZATION
THB" word "Americanization" Is not a
pleasant one, but the thought is vital to
the health of the United Slates. The two
day conference which opens iq this city to
day has' for its object tie lealizution of an
old ideal. For fifty years the country has
assumed that beiuuse the melting pot was
seething (he ingredients were mixing, The (
past eignieen moutns nav revised that
Judgment.
The National Conference on Immigration
and Americanization sets out to help new
arrivals become Americans la every sense.
The quickening of our national conscience

at war. and U is not surprising that the

And, by the way, P. S., here's news for you:
A great poet made his bow to this town
last night. John Mnsetlcld Is his name, and
he's our sort of man. Watch him.
TI1K beneficent Influence of Thomas B.
Hill, ho of the "Manual," Is being felt far
and wide. One of our coi respondents writes:
"Last night I was called back from the
street to the telephone. I said: 'Hello! Rx-
cuse my glove.'" But, more Important than
thnt Is the news which comes from New
York by way of the Providence Journal.
Providence people, we nre told, have been
receiving from the Society of Tutors, 6th
avenue and 27th street. New York city, cir
cular letters like tills:
On account of the European war hli
society, which Is more than 100 years c,
has established Itself In America for the
first time, and as our name Is ninongst
the prominent families of this country, we
hope to enlist jour support for the work
we are undertaking, as our teachings' are
only for those who are cultivated and ap
preciate the finer side of life.
For hundreds of years chlllzntlon has
accepted certain customs which distin
guishes the "refined from the vulgar";
these line points of etiquette must be
learned the same as music and dancing.
You nt first glance may say that you
attended a good school and do not require
our Instructions, but we nre positive no
school teaches the hundred and one little
observations which we embody In our
course, such ns pioprlety of dress; how to
accept an Invitation gracefully: how to
seat your guests at dinner; correct table
manners (not merely how to use the knife
and fork); how to leave your cards on all
occasion., such as calling on your Am
bassador nbroad, and knowing exactly what
his leturn card means; the etiquette of the
lestaurant and ballroom; how to make a
giaceful bpeech, and. In fact, a thousand
things which one muwt know If they wish
to lie considered "coned." We tench all
this In one booli, and If ou wish to become
.a pupil we will forwnid you upon leceipt
of $" the full course. Wo feel certain that
jou would not be without this for many,
times that sum, as the knowledge of this
tide of life will gain for you a poise which
will enable you to enjoy social distinction
otherwise unattainable.
This society Is composed of tutors who
have been lu the royal families: therefore.
It Is In an authoritative position on all
points of,."foriii." It Is n duty jou owe to
jourt'elf nnd family to know what we teach,
which Is far more than any Finishing school.
But not, ah! not more thnn tho "Finishing
hchool" that Thomas K. Hill Is! These Royal
Tutors, like most Imitators, miss many of
tho graces ot him they imitate. They prob
ably skipped the professqr's chapters uppn
the writing of English. Do no lie deceived,
dear readers. Do not give these people your
$.1 to flood you with foolish misinformation
upon every subject unde the sun. Let
Thomas K. Hill do it.

On the level, Tom, isn't It a sin the w-ay "our
leaders" are putting it over on the Peepul with
their ''Ile's-au-ashcart-rm-a-statesman" stuff?
Lamping the situation over, the proletariat would

Maybe that's right, to far as It concerns the
uoys who gei oui me oie nu noia window

the folks that pass out the jobs Is bull.
While the "regular" folks every ouce In a

MANY KINDS OF
WAR BY-PRODUCTS
Some Are Valuable and Some Are
Not Walking Stick Is One of
Them Heirlooms Are Another.
Names and Cookery
WAR Is chiefly valuablci for Its by-products.
The special, the Immediate and tho ulti
mate alms of the nations engaged In the pres
ent, coiuuci aie so nopciossiy nt odds one
with nnother that the wise man leaves them I
alone. The icsultant of these diverse pur-
poses, the outcome of this strife this muy I
bo considered when the proper tlmo comes,
but nt present it is weariness nnd folly to be
serious about the question. And "question"
is right.
And so we look for profit where some pleas
ure Is taken. Curious facts and bits of
strange loro found In tho story of war, or any
particular war, are by-products well worth
utilizing for their own snkes. Consider, for
Instance, the walking stick. It Is a by
product of war, and figured In a contest which
finally ended In war. Thereby hangs an in
teresting tale. Tho walking stick, as we
know It at present, gained Its popularity In
France during the 18th century, when It camei
to be carried by rich people who had no right
to wear a sword. The dandles twirled a thin
bamboo cane In their fingers; but the great
financiers who had considerable Influence at
that time made tho stick a fashionable addi
tion to their wardrobe, and sometimes paid as
much ns 10,000 crowns for one. This carry
ing of a walking stick was regarded as a demo
cratic triumph over the nobility, who refused
tho commoners the light to wear a sword.
The sword of legend nnd history Is,
perhaps, not so useful, In certain Imag
inable cases, as a sword in tho hand: but on
the high plane of things ns they ought to be
It Is more virtuous. Lord Kitchener, like his
old antagonist. General Botha, owns n Sword
of Honor, which was presented to him by
the Corporation of Loudon In November, 1S9S.
This is one of tho most elnborate ever com
missioned by the City Fathers." It hns u
hilt of cighleen-carat gold, studded with
amethysts, beryls and turquoises, with the
monogram of the recipient In diamonds, ru
bles and sapphires. Figures of Britannia nml
Justice and it panel bearing the British nnd
Egyptian Hugs also appear on the hilt.
while the blndc is damascened with solid gold '
in Oriental fashion. As a rule Kwords of '
honor nre forever treasured heirlooms: but n
few from time to time come Into the market.
Some years ago two snouts presented tu
Lord Collingwood by the Corporations of Lon
don and Liverpool wcto sold in tho miction j
toom for ilLMO and 261), lespectlvely: and at
tho same sale regulation sword of no In
trinsic value realized 260 guineas because It
hud been used by Nelson when n lieutenant, i
Swords as heirlooms are -in their proper cat- !
egory. I
Tako nlso the matters of names. One !
of the best by-pioducts of war Is the supply
nf new words which it provides. Hate Is a
bad thing, but "bocho" is n word that stimu
lates entertaining and profitable speculation.
It leads us Into pastures where the mind Is
fed with better fodder thnn the fodder of
cannon. Which suggests "eats." In a para
graph written by Mr. Warren Barton Blake
we find reference to a couple of the by
products of war names and improvement
of national cookery. "In calling the Prussian
Invader a 'boche,' " says Mr. Blake, "the
Frenchman pictures a 'square-head.' This
13 no worso than the 'round-head' of the
English civil wars. Is It worse than tho

Many other by-products of war might bo
mentioned. At the present time there is a
shortnge of domestic help in many parts of
this country due to tho fact that immigra
tion has been stopped. Tho situation pre
sents a problem to housewives, and what
better exercise can bo imagined than solving
a problem? The circulation of bits and
scraps of curious information Is another by
product that is not to be scorned. If it lends
us to visit n museum It Is especially valuable.
Here's an Instance:
Sir Arthur Doyle proposed that tho soldiers
of the Allies be provided with armor some
what like that of the ancient Romans, but
Roman armor, ns everybody knows, is heavy
and cumbersome. The Mlcroneslnn natives in
tho Gilbert group of Islands nnd utolls wear
armor made of coconnut fibre, which Is
closely woven nnd plaited for tho purpose.
Tho cuirass Is made with a back plate which
leaches up behind the hend for some dis
