ECRETARY LANSING used words enough to give the de facto/ Mexican Government a thorough grasp of this nation’s point of! view and purpose, What it all comes to is this: . | The United States Government has given Carranza every chance to get after the outlaws and border brigands who have robbed and! murdered Americans. Not only has Carranza not captured these ban-/ dite, but there is little or no indication that ho has even tried to| capture them. United States troops sent into Mexico have been sent there, not to occupy one foot of Mexican territory or interfere with one Mexican right, but solely to check brigandage which threatens American lives, However much Carranza may object to the presence of these troops.on Mexican soil, there they will remain until Carranza | proves that he is doing his best to secure to Americans on the border and elsewhere in Mexico that protection which it is the duty of any reputable and civilized government to provide. Get busy or we don't get out, is the point of the long note, in even words. To extricate himself from a had fix Carranza has only to come forward with an offer of honest co-operation. If he really wishes to see his country cleared of outlaws and mur- derers—or at least the beginning of the operation—he, will make that offer. If, on the other hand, he does not desire murder and lawlessness | in Mexico to stop, neither he nor his Government is worth an hour's} further consideration. If a majority of Mexicans were found to share with him the latter sentiment, Mexico would no longer deserve to be treated as a civilized | or self-respecting nation.

N ENCOURAGING SIGN is the promise of an order from the} Public Service Commission requiring the Interborough to extend the “trip” signal system to the straight stretches of its local tracks. The “trip” system provides for the automatic stopping of trains when dangerously close to one another, The Interborough is already installing the trip signals on all its express tracks and on local tracks at curves and crossovers. But the railway corporation objected to the extension of the trip devices to all its local tracks not only because of the expense but on the ground that it would be impossible to run| as many trains, | “The commission, however,” go one of ita members is quoted,| “considered safety of primary importance.” | The forthcoming order is interesting in connection with one of | 4 the eight recommendations submitted by the Coroner's Jury whieh) investigated the rear-end collision on the “L” at One Hundred and Vifty-first Street and Third Avenue a few weeks ago in which one person was killed and a number injured. ‘The recommendation reads: That the Public Service Commissioners be severely criti- clsed for permitting the Interborough to tell them what a rail- | road will or will not do. The commission should issue positive orders to the Interborough for immediate installation of signals.

(The New York Evening World), Most men save a lot of time and energy by yielding to a temptation or @ woman first and struggling against them afterward. To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little; to be happy with a woman you must love ber @ lot and not try to understand her at all. Nothing seems to age a woman like life with a perfectly constant hus- band; apparently, it takes a little uncertainty to keep up the circulation of the heart and prevent the emotions from sagging. Not every dead love ts worth em) every dead flirtation worth pre: Iming in the wine of memory—nor tying in the vinegar of cynicism. A man’s {dea of a “fascinating conversationalist” is the kind of woman he loves to have listen to him. Real pearls and rea! love are almost superfluous nowadays; a good Iml- tation of elther ts quite as effective aud so much less responsibility. It takes thirty years for the aver: 11 the rest of his life for his wife to r se man to form his character—and rm it. ‘The man who fs in love with himself {s the only one who ts never apt to have a disillusionment or a change of heart. ** Mexico’s First Chiefs.” HE first of the lengthy list of T provisional presidents, “first chiefs," rebel leaders and dics tators who have sought to rule Mex- leo in the interval since the downfall of Porfirio Ding was Francisco Leon de la Barra, who was ina Chief" took over the reins from Car- vajal, but Villa turned against bim, and Zapata, the fierce rebel leader of the south, made constant war on the Carranzistas, A peace conven tion was*then tnged, and Eulalio Gutierrez was chosen — proy 1 president.
