The sharp and sanguinary clash with I
the Carranza forces below the border is
probably the prelude to a bitter strug
bb With the iil advised Mexicans who
think they see a just cause against the
United Stales because uf our Insistence
In retaining troops on Mexican soil for
purposes of protection. Things have now !
reached the point that such result is
practically inevitable, unless the Carran
111 RDVl'rmnuit from tu prcwnl
position. Whether it will do so or not
the future will disclose.
If war is to come, it must come from
Mexico. We, the people of the United
States, are neither wishing or seeking it
In retaining our troops below the boun
dary we are in no sense infringing upon
the rights of the Mexican people. In
no way arc wc threatening their na
tional integrity nor abusing the granted
privilege of crossing the border in pur
suit of those who have violated our soil
by wanton und indefensible attack
Our troops are there in pursuit of a
speeltle purpose which can iri nu way
be construed as offering tin affront to
the Mexican nation. In every way we
are well within our rights. That the
Mexicans suddenly choose to question our
intentions and purposes is something thut
we cannot help. And, if they deliber
ately allow suspicion and distrust to lead
them to hlows, that also Is not our
fault. Also if their unwarranted blows
lead to war. we are absolved from blame.
For sueli causes of offense as the Mex
icans profess, the Mexican government is
itself to blame. Had the government at
tended to its obvious duty of seeing that
Its citizens committed no offense against
ihe peace and security of the United
States, or tit least made some effort lo
do so, there would have been on causes
for discord Hut, though weeks and
months have passed since the first causes
or friction arose, wc are still compelled
to guard our borders to prevent the repe
tition of lawless arts of which wc have
made just and proper complaint.
Having done all that wc can reason
ably be expected to do with respect to
our duty to ourselves and our neighbors,
we await the issue with the full con
sciousness that our hands are clean
whatever happens. It may be. as some
suggest, that the present situation has
been forced by certain interests for selfish
purposes. Probably it Is so as il usually
happens that all wars are forced by
certain interests. But, so or not, such
eventuality is something that we cannot
guard against Our national conscience
is clear ut least, for neither the nation
nor Its governors have conspired against
the integrity of Mexico or the rights of
its people. If war is the result of pri
vate machinations we have been led to its
verge as blindly and unwittingly as have
• hr Mexicans As a nation wo care not 1
for strife and struggle- IVaeo is our
greatest ambition and lo bo of aid and
benefit to others is our highest ideal
Never have we taken up the sword from '
mere desire for conquest. Such wars as
we have had have' been In the Interest of
humanity and against usurpation and
oppression As becomes a people posses
sing a proper regard for the rights of
others, we have scrupulously observed
the dictates of Justice In all our deal
ings with Mexico and its citizens even
when such observance was to our dis
advantage and Injury Throughout the
long period of civil strife we have at
tempted no reprisals against the Mexi
can people though our citizens were
wronged and murdered and their property
destroyed. Whatever we have done unto
the Mexicans has been done openly and
honestly and In a spirit of forbearance,
making full allowance for the woes of a
war distracted people. As a nation we
! have treated the Mexicans better than
they deserve. Were they less blind lo
the truth, less given to allowing their
unwarranted hatred of Americans to
overcome reason and good Judgment they
i would realize that had America hat- I
| bored designs against their sovereignity
she would not have waited until this late
day to put them into operation Old
they hut stop to remember that the Uni
ted States has at all times treated them
with a spirit of fairness scarcely war
ranted by their own outrageous conduct |
toward Americans they would probably
hesitate to set In train circumstances ,
! which cannot but lead to their own do- .
I
struction. Did they view the American
| people with unbiased eyes they would .
find ample reason to accept the United
States as anything but the grasping, de
| signing monster their Imagination pic
tures. But, they are blind to everything ,
but their own unreasoning passion and
see not the peril in which they place
themselves by giving way to hatred and
unreason toward a neighbor who has
shown them little else but friendship 1
and good will i
The blame be upon their own heads. ]
We have stood more from them than I
would any other nation hul now can
stand no more.

in Vienna. As is known to all observing
travelers Vienna alum among the great
cities of Kurope has h.iherto been con
spicuous from the fact that its men and
boys insisted on wearing hats, disdain

I is popular among the working classes in
London. Berlin and Paris Austria has
always possessed a large hat Industry,
and hats were almost as cheap us caps
here, but the war lias caused a shortage
