In Mexico today there are some 15,000,000 people, the vast majority | of whom are illiterate. These people | have grown heart-sore and weary at the continuous strife existing’ within their land.: They are a famished and broken people, no sooper ria of one set of bandfl.a than anolher group of ena.rchists springs up to wrest t:oml‘ them thelr only vestige or hope. 7 President Wilson is aching to do ‘| ‘something for the suffering people of Mexico. On June 2 last he issued a note to the four chieftains of military Mexico and warned them of an im- pending action he had in mind. He told ¢hem that: ““watchful - waiting” weuld give way to something more torceful if the leaders aid mnot gét togéther and settle their differences. Since that note the two ringleaders of the revolution,” Carranza and Villa, have made no advances toward a set- | tlement of their differences. On the intrary, they have but widened the lreach which separates them. Indirectly, both Carranza and Villa | have replied to President ‘ Wilson. | The latest despatch to Washington | arrived yesterday and was from Villa, i stating he had wired Cafranza urging | a conference for the restoration of | peade and constitutional government ! | in'Mexico. But that means nothing. | No conference between these two foes | can amount to anything. In their re- /iplies ‘to ! President ‘Wilson’s, warning | each blames the other for conditions i prevalent in Mexico. Edch denies existence of anarchy:im the district ‘under his immediate control. This is| an untruth. Carranza claims 6 con- trol nine-tenths of the entire country, &nd anarchy can be found in nine- tenths of his domain. Carranza asks ihis government to wait until he gets thihgs fixed the way he wants them. Villa is willing to join in ‘a confer- ence with Carranza, but the only re- | sult of such a conference would be:to ask the United States to keep out. . - | It is utterly hopeless to accomplish i anything: with Carranza ;and Villa running wild in Mexico{ Because of their arbitrary and cruel treatment of {.natives and foreigners they have up ‘against themselves. & wall ‘of i hatred that can never be surmounted.

General Director Eugen Zimmer- man of the Lokal Anneiger, a leading periodical of Berlin, has published an article assuring the people of Ger- many that President Wilson’s request upon that nation to abolish certain forms of maritime warfare so as to insure the saféty of American citizens can be.acceded. ‘“‘The task light, considering the developments of naval warfare,” comments Herr Zim- ' merman, “but it can be solved if all interests display good will.” ' .Taken as representative of senti- ment of the German Deople, there is is right. The problem confronting Germany, as regards its ‘difficulties with the United States, is not such an overwheiming one to solve. Surely the American people have and will display good will. With any sort of reciprocity on the part.of Germany, a love feast can be seen in the not far distant future. Herr Zimmerman, who writes with the backing of the real representative German people, sets forth an explana- tion of some of the considerations he believes should be demanded by Ger- many if she agrees to modify . her | submarine warfare. . Briefly, . they are— (1). Ships carrying passen- gers should bear special marks of" identification and sail under gov- ernment guarantee that they are unarmed in order to receive proper consideration at the hands of submarine officials. (2). The British admiralty's instruction to merchantmen ' to attack and ram submarines on sight should be withdrawn. There will be no difficulty in fol- lowing out those suggesitons of the eminent - German - editor. ‘Wilson, in’ his last note, paved the way for a conciliatory: l‘ethod of Germany and England getding together on the “war zone” problem. The second con- tention. of Herr Zimmerman, which would have the United States use .its good omces in bringing Great Britain to terms, grew out of President Wil- son’s’suggestion. The President does not want Germany to entirely abolish any form of its naval warfaré that is | absolutely ‘essential. He does want, howeven&merip&n lives. protected, and‘this must be done. The Lusitania incident is closed. Nothing the Ger- man government can do will bring back the lives of murdered American men, women and children. Bt the German Government can prevent a recurrence of such things, and if get- ting Great Britain to nullify its or- ders to merchantmen ramming sub- marines will do this,—then the con- troversy is settled.- It will be easy for our government to mark ships carrying passengers so they will not be hampered by the undersea craft. The only-trouble there is, will the sub- marine officers respect the marks? The stationing of German commis- klaners in American ports to examine | ips sailing for Europe so that those which carry no armaments, munitions, or troops may be exéempt from attack by, German submarines; as pro_vosed by another ,Berlin editor, is prepos- terous. in these ports,—men whose hopor is unimpeachable.

The United States has just embark- ed on the manufacture of the firat dirigible balloon for its navy—a Con- necticut firm has the contract, we believe. It is interesting to note that the first venture which the govern- ment is conducting with dirigible bal- loons comes just at a time when such airships have proved pretty econclu- sively their worthlessness in war. Tt inclines dne to believe that President Taft was talking good doctrine when he said that this nation needs to have its program of preparedness taken out of the hands of log-rolling congressmen and placed under the direction of a board of military = ex- perts, Dirigibles have accomplished noth- ing noteworthy that we know of in the European war; we do know that they are very expensive to build and that their average of disastrous fail- ures and accidents, resulting in losses of airships and crews, has been high.

Trained Misfits. (Torrington Register.) Dr. Geprge W. Jacoby, who is list- ed as one of the distinguished neu- rologists of the country, has recenily made an open suggestion,, which just at this timé, when a million or so.are about to disconnect with the schools and enter upon life callings may prove to be a saving message to many. Briefly stated, his suggestion is that an enormous amount of nerve rack and a perfect pandemonium of wasted effort is caused from youn=z men and young women engaging in professional, industrial or business undertakings to which they are not temperamentally adapted, The educational misfit—the boy or girl who has been trained to do something which he should never stock | have .been trained to undertake, be- “Barnum had only a one-| catse. his natural aptitudes an& his born predilections are’ entirely in another direction—this the learned specialist believes to account for not only much of the defectiveness of the life.

SR TR Tragic Folly of War. (Buffalo Times.) It is a war which, up to date, fa- vors only defense and hurls back con- quest. This swing and counter-swing may continue so long as the war goes on. We may see Paris again threatened, East Prussia again menaced, Warsaw ag:in imperiled, Galicla ’'again - in- vaded. But is" it all probable that tho swings, backward and forward, will attain anything decisive? Do they not rather suggest a pendu- lum with its weight removed, oscilla- ting feverishly to and fro but making no time! At its present rate’ of progress, judged by the te past months, 'this war might last as many years. The futility of it!

Among his rapid-fire deliveries of the last few days Mr. Bryan has is- sued ‘a statement rejoicing that the press regard; the note to Germany as mofe friendly than had been ex- pected. He accuses the “jingo e tors” of assuming tnat the note was to be hostile beyond chance of com- posing differences; and he says it is a relief that they aré emphazing the friendly tome of the note ‘asfl “pointing out that it does not neces- sarily’ mean war.” The impression some folk—not many editors, by the way—that the note meant or might mean was based on tha actions of Mr. Bryan himself.
