Show THE END OF THE FIZZkTB. Another long drawn out effort to come to some terms with Carranza has resulted in the usual fizzle. The Mexico-American joint commission has failed of its object, because Carranza has refused re-fused to ratify the work of the commission. ' It is the end of the fizzle that Is, of the present' pres-ent' fizzle. General Pershing nnd his men are being with-j drawn from Mexico. It Is just ns well. If they , are not to be allowed to "take Villa" or protect theirlcountrymen, then they should not be made ridiculous by compelling them toJoaf around and suck their thumbs. Taft fizzled when he sent the nrmy roaring down to the border nnd then halted them there. Wilson fizzled when he rushed them Into Vera Cruz nnd then rushed them out again. And the nrmy is fizzling because it is not allowed al-lowed to do anything but fizzle. With two administrations fizzling, with two congresses fizzling, and with the army fizzling, the American people seem to be in somewhat of a fizzle all around. , And, from all indications, we will keep right on fizzling. |
