HE Mexican situation is full of graye possibilities, no one of wich the Government of the United States can ignore or Woich it must not be prepared to meet. Nevertheless, we have not gone to war with Mexico yet. — -Office . Fk , —— i} Let us not forget, moreover, that actual war with Mexico will only be precipitated by two thing: (1) Persistent misapprehension and resentment in the minds of, the Mexican people. 2) Insane perversity and foollardiness on the part of Carranza., The state of the Mexican mind might be subject to change—if! we could manage to impress upon it the real attitude and purpose of| this nation, after allaying the irritation produced by our political malcontents and trouble-makers whose motto is: Rather War than Wilson. Ae for Carranza, who knows how seriously to take him? Ts it possible to believe that he is bent on his own eelf-destruction? It| seems far more likely that, realizing his needs at home, he has eet out on a desperate strut before the Mexican people, and that, how-| ever far he dares to carry it, he will pull up before he comes into, fatal collision with this nation. | Much in his attitude and talk eupports this view. To a mass meeting in Mexico City he said the other night: | “Go to your homes and be good Mexicans, remembering also that I will do my utmost to preserve the dignity of the Mexican nation. If we are forced to resort to arms, I will lead you in person.” Maybe Carranza really vearns to be the idol of his country.

It is no amall task to summon thousands of men from desks, | offices and duties in a hundred and one occupations. Nor is it a) simple matter for each man in the course of an afternoon to make his arrangements at home and with his business ¢o that he can be in marching order at night. National Guardemen, to be eure, are ex- pected to be prepared for precisely such quick adjustments. Never-| theless it is gratifying to see the thing done eo easily and so well. It is now the turn of Headquarters—officers, surgeons, above all of che Quartermaster’s Department—to see that the men are fed and| cared for as befits the fighting force of a first-rank nation that may have serious business on hand. —————-1-—____ FIRST AND FITTEST.
