Show The Administration is reported to be working out a new (?) Mexican policy. Seems like "The bear that walks like a man" also runs very much like a scared dog. What Hayti seems to need is an energetic promulgation of the"Safety first" doctrine, and U. S. Marines may be depended upon as fully competent to do the promulgating. The Japanese Cabinet has resigned re-signed because of alleged corrupt election practices, which may or may not be additional proof that as a people the Japs are exceedingly exceed-ingly imitative. The National Forests turned into the U. S. Treasury during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, nearly $2,500,000, an increase in-crease of more than $40,000 over the receipts of the previous year, according to a statement just issued is-sued by the Forest Service.

The Washington authorities are reported to be considering a renewal of the embargo on shipments of war munitions to Mexico. They probably can buy only from the U. S. now, and if we don't sell them they may have to quit shooting one another frorn lack of ammunition. ammuni-tion. Then, too, if we do have to go down there the less powder pow-der they have the safer our men will be. Sounds reasonable, don't it? We can all agree with the Administration's Ad-ministration's plan of calling the Washington representatives of the leading South American Nations to act as a sort of Coroner's Cor-oner's jury at an inquest to be held upon Mexico. One cannot help but think, however, that if the departed continues to keep posted on mortal doings, the spirit spir-it of James G. Blaine must chuckle a little over the growth of the Pan-American idea, which he burbanked from the diplomatic diploma-tic jungle growth of his time. |
