It is ob- vious that the country today is many times better prej ed” for war than it was when the Maine was destroyed in 1898.” s While many’ defects since tho amendment to the military laws of the country since 1898 these have been gradually eliminated until {by this new law a better and more :stable war footing is quickly obtain- able. It is by no means a measure proposed to meeting the existing emer- gency, but one which has long been recognized as necessary whenever a call might be issued for the state troops. It simplifies and strengthens the federal power in case of war. CANNOT ABANDON PREPARA- TIONS. It is a fact well recognized by the president and the heads of other de- partments of the government that { while hope for a peaceful adjustment of the Mexican trouble is increased by the favorable progress being made in connection with the move for media- | tion by the South American republics, | that preparations for the return of the more serious outlook cannot be | abandoned. Something more assuring | must be disclosed before any lull can take place in the programme of getting ready for the worst. This is one cause for the need of giving prompt attention to the early determination of just what can be expected from this offer of good offices from Brazil, Argentina and Chili To have its best effect it must show prompt resuts that any more serious conditions may be avert- hould success follow the ‘tender. Until some definits outcome is as- red precautionary measures must be aken. Wisdom demands it the same s it did the replacing of the embargo n arms along the Mexican border un- t til it can e fully determined what the | relations of this country and the en- tire constitutionalist party are going to be. The crisis has opened to se- vere criticism the act of lifting it since the unfriendliness of the rebel leaders following the course which this coun- try pursued would simply have meant | that what munitions of war were di tributed to them would be turned | against our troops. The rebels are well supplied, thanks to our action and our thing, but the impossibility of regain- ing the advantages given them should they decide to resist this country, could not recalled, and shows the acy of relving upon chance rather ! than preparations. The need of guard- ing against the unexpected is always present. STUDYING THE TREATY. + what will be the fate of the Co- treaty is surrounded with much uncertainty because of various reasons, iccess must depend upon its rat- ification by two-thirds of the senate and from the expressions which are ming from Washington the probabil- ity of this grows less as a more care- ful insight is gained of the proposed | instrument and its requirements, Many efforts have been made to se- e an adjustment siombia that it wa | disposed of for the international it being generally conceded a matter which better be the improvement of relations. Particu- | 1arly desirous was the last administra- tion to accomplish this thing, but with | Colombia hoping to do better with a | new administration negotiations failed, and the treaty which has now been ne- gotiated shows that Colombia was wise in delaying if it can obtain a ratifica- | tion thereof. Not only is it far more generous in money consideration, but the new treaty contains a clause apolo- | bound to | in character which is cause of much dissension on | the ground that there is nothing to | apologize for. Many other important | items have disappeared fromthe treaty Dproposed in the earlier negotiations ing the Instrument in every way | far more favorable to the Colomblan { republic. While it is desirous of disposing of claim amicably and while this country can afford, to be generous in s treatment of Colombia and is dis- posed to, it is well that all the features of the proposed instruments and the reasons therefors should be thoroughly understood before going ahead. Ap- ently this is what Washington in- s to do. getic | pe th EDITORIAL NOTES.
