After a storm had been brewing in Mexico for sev- eral years and after we have been fully warned that, that might hap- pen what did happen, we were not prepared. We are not ready to fol- 16w in the “hot trail” of Villa. We waited. Now that we are ready, Villa is also ready; he has been given sev- eral days’ time to get to the moun- tains where it will be a most diffi- cult task to dislodge him. We in the meanwhile have been conferring with Carranza. His great intellect has been appeased by grant- ing him the right to enter the United States under similar circumstances. As was said before, we are now ready to enter. There is much tape to internation- al law and Villa has shrewdly taken advantage of it and avenged his im- aginary grief by wiping out a few “gringoes.” The only satisfaction we get out of it is that President Wilson will talk us out of it in time. Just be patient and notes will go forward. INVENTOR WANTED The fact that the price of gasoline is ever soaring upwards seems to warrant the conclusion that the prod- uct is getting very rare and in dan- ger of becoming to many only a ree- ollection. There have been many guesses just why the price of gaso- line should at this time aeroplane out of sight of the common people. | The Standard Oil says that the de- mand is much greater than the sup- ply. What will happen this sum- mer when automobiling will again be in vogue among the people of the rural districts and in the smaller cities where motoring is impossible during the winter? There will then be five times the demand that there now is. But the ultimate consumer is skeptical. He nourishes a suspi- cion that there is but little compe- tition in the oil business and that John D. wants to make as much money now as he did in the summer when more gasoline was used and that the price goes up. Some_ say that 'so much gas is be- ing exported to the Allies that there is an actual shortage. One man has the temerity to sug- gest that so much gasoline is being manufactured that there is not enough demand for it all, consequent- ly some must be stored up and as it is quite expensive to store this prod- uet those who buy must help to pay the storage charges. Let us hope that this is the true explanation for then possibly the price will be so low this summer that even an editor with a Ford may get out into the open. ‘Whatéver the explanation is, the fact remains that the price of gaso- line is now so exorbitant that many are tearing out their tanks and again installing oat bins; blacksmiths are dusting the cobwebs from their doors and getting out their leather aprons. Horses are coming back. Now then for a solution. Trust Buster Kellogg seems to .be getting-ready to go to the senate so we cannot look to him. At the best, however, trust breaking and regu- lating never have redounded partic- ularly to the benefit of the people. We must find a chemist-inventor who can profitably extract gasoline from bituminous coal or other prod- uct which is.plentiful. The Ger- mans have succeeded in doing this and surely someone among our 100,- 000,000 -can do-as- much. We will thank even a hyphenated German- American for such a_ discovery. Some: war, you bet. But the old world still shuffles along at'its time honored 1jog: ERHKKEKKKKKK KKK KKK BORDER TROOPS COULD HOLD 11, MILES OF TRENCHES IN BATTLE * ox o (By J. W. T. Mason) Written for the United Press * k Kk Kk ok ok Kk & ******kt KEKREKEKK KKK E KK KKK The 8,000 American troops which it has taken five days to concentrate along the Mexican border before starting after Villa could hold about a mile and a half of trenches in they Luropean war, for one battle. If they were defending New York they could make Fifth avenue reasonably secure from Fourteenth street to Forty-second street during a single engagement. After the first battle, if the 8,000 bore the brunt of the fighting, about 20 per cent would probably be kill- cd, wounded or captured and would have to be replaced by fresh troops. If there was any delay in jumping reinforcements to the front and if the enemy delivered a counter at- tack, there would be nothing for it but a nasty defeat and possible ex- termination of the remnants of the 8,000. With 8,000 men on the offensive, the lessons of the European war in- dicate less than 3,000 of the enemy could successfully check them. An offensive force has to be three times as strong as the defenders of the trans-Atlantic entrenchment, if there is to be any hope of success. This applies to straight fighting on comparatively level battle areas. NORTH DAKOTA MEN TO OBJECT TO FREIGHT RATES (By United Press) TFargo, N.
