International peace, he declares, is in the hands | of the wage earners, and it is for them to put a top to war. | If Mr. Gompers has discovered in the Mexica® labor unions an enlightened and controlling force south of the Rio Grande, he has found what this nation has long been looking for. The population of Mexico is about 15,000,000. of these 15,000,000 over twelve vears of age must be re illiterate, being unable to write their own language. 3,000,000 whit I among the 3,500,000 who pay taxes and the peons, many of whom rarely sce a piece of money, just what is the strength of this organ-| ized labor? Can it “mould public opinion” in Mexico? Can it keep; an efficient government in power and dictate a wise and consistent foreign policy? Is it full of appreciation for this country’s efforts to | aid Mexico, and does it burn with zeal to help? | If 80, by all means let's hitch up with it. Maybe it has already, explained to Mr. Gompers why the United States coat of arms was) torn from the door of the American Consulate in Chihuahua last | Thursday night, and why rocks were thrown through the windows of American homes. If Labor with a capital “1.” is this nation’s best friend in Moxico why don’t we hear more from it? — 4+ -—___ ‘The Colonel hae reached the depths. Here ts William Ki.

Apparently not even the Aus- trians themselves know how many Russian armies are massing on the eastern frontier. Tremendous blows are almost certain to assail the Teutonic lines, now at one point, now at another, until all the weak spots are discovered. | Russia, prepared at last, with unlimited stores of ammunition and with millions of men to use and, if need be, sacrifice, presents to-day the most formidable force that has yet assumed the aggressive against the Central Empires. Watch the bear. His huge bulk may even now be gathering the irresistible momentum for lack of which the struggle lasts so long. 9 ____ Copyright (The train lag a Hed frou : winks foot, mw B.
