There is nothing unusual or sur- prising in the stand which has been taken by Secretary Lansing to the effect that this country has no cause for submitting to mediation the pres- ent trouble with Carranza. It has no desire to annex any Mexican territory and it ‘has not had any. There is no ambition to extend the boundaries of this country by aggression. The United States s shown the utmost regard for the reestablishment of peace in Mexico. It has lent its influence unstintingly in that direction and has even extended recognition to the Carranza government in the hope that such could be brought about. But almost immediately from that time there has been disclosed on the part of Carranza a disposition which indi- cated- not only his unwillingness to respond to his obligations as the head of a neighboring government, but a failure to do his utmost to uphold the rights of this nation along the border. Contrary to his claim he has given no evidence of the control which he in- sisted he had. He has permitfed the ralding of towns and the Xkilling of United States citizens on this side of the line, and it is solely because of this that there are United —States troops in Mexico today. It is because of Carranza’s actlons and nothing else that the possibility of war is threatened. It is because of his stubborn stand, his lack of coop- eration with the punitive expedition and his antagonistic attitude to a friendly’ country that the present erisis developed. Under such condi- tions, even if there was a disposition on the part of this country to mediate, there is no reason to believe, that the result of such arbitration Would be respected. It is a question of rights which this country is insisting upon, and only such rights as it is entitled to and that does not warrant its sub- mission to mediation. Carranza can, it he will, extricate himself from his delicate position but if he does mot choose to he knows what the conse- Quences will be. INFLUENCE ON PROGRESSIVES. Just how much influence Colonel Roosevelt ‘exerts upon the progressives of the country is indicated by the ac- tion which was taken by the progres- sive national committee at its confer- ence in Chicago. Among those mem- bers who voted it was shown that it was overwhelming, but counting those ‘who opposed the idea of endorsing the republican nominee for the presidency, and those who did not vote but by their faflure to do so gave ground for the belief that they were not thor- oughly convinced of the wisdom of fol- lowing his advice, the idea of joining forces with the republicans for the purpose of overcoming the conditions which have prevailed for the past four years and which it is promised will be continued for a like period unless check®d, was supported by a vote of over two to one. From the expressions of opinion which have been made since the con- not a matter to be towards which a niggardly should be manifested. And yet it is not solely in behalf of the second line | defense that money must be ex- pended for the activity of the army and navy means an increased outlay in every department. This means that the time come when a marked distinction should be made between the necessary and un- necessary demands upon the national treasury. We must uphold the dignity, honor and rights of the nation at all | flect cost, but at the same time there should be a cutting out of the drain which| goes to the maintenance of the pork barrel funds. Whatever has been said against them in the past gots in- creased emphasis at a time like this. The opportunity is afforded to prac- tice a sane policy of economy. What- ever would go to the develop- ment of harbors and rivers, or the erection of public buildings, which could wait without any serious re- sults, better be turned towards this more impertant use. Such appropria- tions would not be sufficient by any means to balance the other account, but it would all help. Such a saving of national funds would overcome the necessity of raising just that much by other means. It is now a question of the nation’s needs which must get sound consideration. THE REVOLT OF THE ARABS. It is impossible to overlook the‘im- portance of the revolt which has iaken place in Arabia. The Arabs { have been a serious menace to the al- lies almost from the time that the war opened. They have not openly espoused their cause now but they have displayed their opposition to Tur- |key and that means the withdrawal 1 of a certain amount of opposition and i the setting up of a menace which can- | not help being distressing to the Turks | This would give the Turks no little cause for alarm even if that country was not now fully engaged in taking care of the Russians under Archduke Nicholas, but with Russian forces in possession of important strategic points in Asia Minor and threatening Constantinople . through -its back door, the move which has been made after careful preparation by the Arabs can- not fail to make the Turks sit up and take motice. Arabla is out to throw off the Turk- ish yoke which has been borne for a number of centuries. It was not long ago that they were fighting the British, and it has not as yet been disclosed how or why they changed their tactics, except it “be that they see the opportunity for doing some- thing for themselves, but with the capture of Merca, the Holy City, the fall of Kerbela and the strong offen- sive which is being made against Me- dina, it means action which Turkey can by no means welcome and which it is at the present time in nome too good shape to combat. Instead of being able to stir up a holy war against the allies, to which so much importance was attached dur- ing the early stages of the conflict, it now looks as if the tables had been turned and as if Turkey was to feel the effects of the fighting ability of the Arabs instead of being able to di- rect this force against its enemy. EDITORIAL NOTES. The chief concern at the present time is whether the ultimatum to Car- ranza will ultimate. The longer Villa remains quiet the stronger grows the belief that he has left this mundane sphere. It begins to look as if the battle ery in this unpleasantness with Mexico will be Remember Carrizal T The need bf getting the troops to the border in a hurry has cut a lot of the red tape. Necessity is a great teacher. 7 ‘Wars are not usually won in a min- ute but if there has got to be one it is to be hoped that it will be short and decisive. The man on the corner says: "Twould be a shame to lick Mexico if it did not need something of that kind for its general good. , Instead of getting the United States troops out of Mexico Carranza is fol- lowing a course which means the sending of more in. c ———— LS Instead of approaching a condition of peaceful government, Mexico is dis- playing more and more every day the state of anarchy which prevails there.

You THE WAR PRIMER By Naiional Geographic Soclety Bassano, Italy—Bassano, one of the picturesque towns of Norithern Italy, lying in the direct path of invgsion of Venetia, should the Austrians ever succeed in. their drive down the Su- gana Valley, is the subject of the war geography bulletin of the National Geographic Society issued today from its Washl headquarters. ‘The bulletin gives the following interest- ing historical and commercial data concerning this town of about 7,500 people situated on the turbulent Bren- ta River, twenty miles south of the Tyrolean border and thirty miles north of Padua: L4 “For sentimental rather than strate- gic reasons, the Austrian forces would be overjoyed if ‘the fortunes of war should causc Bassano to fall into their hands, for it was before this city that Napoleon achieved his first signal suc- cess in his remarkable campaign of September 1796, when his infantry covered a istance of 114 miles in six days,’ besides winning three battles from the Austrian troops. “Thirteen years after his victory at Bassano Napcleon raised the town to a dudhy and conferred ‘the dukedom upon his devoted secretary of state, Maret, the French journalist and dai- plomat who shares with Daru the dis- tinction of having been one of the hardest workers in the service of the great Corsican. “Bsassano is one of the ‘Infant’ ¢i- ties of Northern Italy, judged by the age standards of Vicenza, Venice, Padua and other 'municipalities of Venetta, although it was six hundred years old when the first permanent English settlement was made in America. A few years after it was founded in the eleventh century the district was glven as a rief to Eccelin, 2 German follower of Conrad II. Ec- celin founded the famous Ezzelini family which dominated this town and neighboring cities from time to time during the middle ages. The most powerful of these feudal lords, and the most notorious, on account of his sav- age cruelty, was Ezzelini da Romano, a staunch lupvonfr of Emperor Fred- erick IT and one of the most siccessful of the Ghibelline adherents n during the thirteenth century. He not only held Bassano, but, with the aid of the emperor, extended his sway over Verona, Vicenza, Padua and Tre- viso.

Navarre the Enfant Terrible. Second Lieutenant Jean Navarre, of has just French Flying Corps, ‘been officially credited with destroy- ing his tenth German machine. Un- officially, he has brought down eight- een; that is to say that. in addition to the ten machines, destruction of which has been verified by his superiar- of- ficers, he is known to have sent eight more to earth behind the German lines under circumstances that justify the supposition that they were destroyed. Navarre is the “enfant terrible”, or pest, of the French Flying Corps, with eccentricities that keep his superior officers busy. He had seen most of the world at 18, and had just disem- barked from Japan and taken a few lessons in aviation when the war broke out. “Too young to be called to the colors regularly, he enlisted and ‘was summoned to appear for medical examination; instead of responding, he took the train for Staint-Cyr, and told the officers there that he had been ordered to report to join the engineers. Together with a comrade that fad re- ceived a pilot's license, he applied to an cfficer of the flying corps at Tours to be incorporated in that service. The captain examined the papers of real aviator and passed him; asked Navarre: “What do you want?”’ “Same as he”, replied Navarre, and without further formality Navarre found himself on an $0-horse biplane at the front, regulating the fire of the artillery in November, 1914. It was a service that was little suited to his disposition; he called it dri ing a taxi-auto”, and showed his dis- content by some. fantastic evolutions on returning from an observation tour, that resulted in his being sent to the rear. He presented himself at the aviation camp where men were being trained to fly the swift battle-planes and was givéen opportunity to try one of them. His natural qualities as an acrobat of the air got him immediately one of these new machines. Up -to date. Navarre has waged nearly 50 air battles. A great many anecdotes are told of Navarre, some of them perhaps some- what stretdhed, a few of them authen- tic. One of the latter relates to his fourth combat, which barely escaped getting him 3¢ days of prison. He had then already acqu! the habit, which he still follows, of getting out before daylight and finishing his #eep in_his machine, so as to be ready t6 take the air instantly when an ad- versary’s machine is signalled.. On this occasion his aid ran up crying: “There is a German coming up there.” Navarre darted into the air above the river Marne, and made straight for a big German two-seated biplane. He fired a dozen bullets at the pilot who, in trying to shield himself, steered his ‘The prisoners, sent to the rear, re- lated the incident and the o ottt f i 8 g8 g B of material criterion of civilization. the use of that crude tool, the knife, the Mexigans might hold their own, bot the modern long-distance repeat- ing rifle requires the mechanical skill ‘which is natural to Americans.

No amount of crank theories can jus- tify such a situation.—Pridgeport Tel- egram. The carelessness of a large number of autoists as to their cwn safety and the lives of others is one of the most annoying features in our highways. How to meet the problem presented is a question not solved. The New Haven road, _fol- lewing the example of the Long Island and other roads,.is tfying to get the co-operation of motorists, at least at such times as they traverse grade crossings of the company. Many harrowing accidents have taken place @t these intersections. A simi- lar campaign on Long Island reduced the grade crossing death rate among ‘There are thirty Americans in the flying corps of the French army. There are cothers in the British army. Most of them have seen actual service. Some have won noble distinction. All have had admirable training in the modern art of military flying. They enlisted with the provision that, if their own country should be involved in war { with any other nation before the ex- piration of their term of enlstment, they should be free to return for ser- vice with the American army. The time has come for them to return. ‘We face a war on a big scale, with al- most no trained fiyers. They are sad- ly needed, not only for active service with our expeditionary force in Mex- fco, but still more as instructors of a large aviation corps.—Waterbury Re- publican. The boys looked good as they marched away this noon. Not good to serve their country and die for it, if necessary. But far too good to be made the victims of that kind of undiscerning virtue which cannot learn that the nettle danger must be seized not fingered, if the flower safety is to be plucked. Sol- diers, however, cannot think of this. And the rest of us shouldn't while general comanding the army ordered Navarre under close arrest for 30 days. The eccentric aviator's amusing explana tion of the incident, however, got the better of the gemeral's anger and the sentence was suspended.
