Phone Main 0400 URING the war with Spain Mole St. Nicholas became a byword, a hissing, and the generally accepted center of the manufacture of fake news. The dispatches from Mole St. Nicholas seerhed to prove that Baron Munchausen had come to life and settled in that tropical spot. But there is a serious side to the subject of Mole St. Nicholas. It is a point of the most critical importance when the control of the approaches to the Panama canal is considered. For 700 miles Cuba stretches to the west across the path of commerce, and for half that dis- tance to the east extends the great island of Haiti. Thru the Windward passage, which is the strait be- tween these islands, 80 per cent of the commerce to and from the canal passes, and must pass right under the guns of any forts at Mole St. Nicholas, or make the immense circle about either Cuba or Haiti. The Germans have been trying to get a naval base in the West Indies. The United States, with perfect propriety, is opposed to any European na- tion getting such a base. That is one reason why we uphold the Monroe doctrine. Mole St. Nicholas is the place which Germany wants, in order that she may place a new Heligoland on the path of the canal commerce, and within a short distance of our own southern coasts. Such reasons as these explain why weak gov- ernments like those of Mexico, Haiti, Guatamala and others are dangerous to us.

We need Mole St. Nicholas; and we must, for our own safety, prevent it from falling into the hands of any other nation, REJOICE, BUT PREPARE HE utterance of William H. Taft, at San Fran- cisco; re the German affair, rings with all the clearness of a buoy-bell in a Pacific fog. Apropos President Wilson's diplomatic success, he says: “This must and should be the cause of pro- found rejoicing by every patriotic American, and the occasion for congratulations to the president, * ™* * It should not, however, lead our people away from their duty of reasonable preparation.” FRENCH OFFICERS are in this country to pur- chase 41,000 war horses for, approximately, $7,000,000. Henry Ford need not be so blamed cocky after all. There are SOME horses being sold. NOW THAT the ladies have switched from parasols to canes, possibly it's up to us mere men to change from cigaret cases to beauty boxes, OREEN SHAKES lic SEARCH OF INDIANS! PAGE 4, ON WITH THE PROBE HIEF LANG now has another week's respite. With ‘every delay in the proposed council in- vestigation, no matter what the cause of the delay, he has’ that much more opportunity to hang on to the public payroll, public automobile, and (maybe) public cafes. ' With all due respect to Councilman Lundy, The Star believes it was a grievous error on his part to sanction or propose any continuance, of the investigation which has been put in motion by his own resolution. While it is true that the bankers are in town now, that is no particular reason why we should be so embarassed about “washing our dirty linen.” The bankers aren't so sensitive that it would pain them to see a rotten chief of police fired, nor are they so unsophisticated that they would be shocked to hear about wine parties and cabaret girls. The sooner we “wash this dirty linen,” the better for the city. A DECENT BANDIT VERY now and then “Villa, the bandit” gives evidence that he possesses the attributes of a real man to a marked degree. The latest is his unsolicited permission, given Orozco’s widow, that the body of the deceased chieftain—Villa’s arch enemy—might be honorably interred upon Mexican soil, if desired. That his offer was not accepted detracts not one whit from the magnanimity of Villa’s act. THERE'S A FLY IN Thay tea!

That dear home-body woman will receive full credit. That fine man who works and thinks and lives for his home will be remembered. “HOW TO RUN YOUR FURNACE,” three chapters. PS HOW TO KEEP ON GOOD TERMS WITH THE JANITOR,” five chapters! No living person has solved this problem; it is extremely important. “THE HOME BEAUTIFUL,” let us hope, will receive proper attention. When this book has been written, if it Is well done, the author will find himself (or herself) immortal. Goon! SLERVe Hi RIGHT - HLIM Buzz 0 HERE ALLEE MLORNING?
