THE MI NT FOR VILLA
If he coidial relations between
President Wjlsoa and Veuustkmo
Carrauzs, endase, the little jaunt
or AnericAu troops Into Mexico
may scwe ?ood purposes wholly
isido from nuuishing Villa. Fore
- iuo: t ::mcng the experiments which
•Ue authorities wished to try we
t.ir v Teit on th© American public
of a rigid press ceasorshij> and a
workou* for the aviation corps. Al
so the mobilization of the army on
the Mexican border and the dis
p:!itchiiu' o£ a formidable expedi
tionary force will serve in lieu of
the usual array peace maneuvers.
The ,i-ess ccusarsLip seems to
bo effective enocs-h. To be sure
contradictor; reports come over the
wires and "lie casual -reader gets
the Impression that '-he redouibt
able Villa is in two or three places
oac«-, but if the purpose is to
Keep iailitary information from the
bandit, t'io censorship has been
successful. TUo correspondents,
turt-.itcned with court-mairtial at the
1.01.t if they print unauhorized dis
patches. and with having their line
of communication with, the home of
fice pay roll cut if they don't get
scoops, arc greatly harassed and
perturbed individuals. However
t.'vir annoyance is not as great as
as that of the -reader who
w?ttos through contradictory re
l'o-' r.
So far the work of the flying
corps lias been disappointing. Of
th-> cuht mr.chiurs assigned to the
exofdifion, two already have gone
om of business through sheer in
ab'*'iy to f'y. Presumably t'.ie
remaining six machines are en
deavoring to distinguish between
Villa's torces aud the cactus plauts
sea'lervd over t>» terrain.'
Lack of Pxpewedness
As a meats of displaying our
lacs oX preparedness, the campaign
has been useful. The uovelty and
glamor of the Mexican expedition,
after a big publicity campaign,
brought only 500 recruits in a we.k,
Generally this is taken asan, indica
tion that if America in ever to
ha v.- a i;i rye army we must resort t
conscription.
The British general who said that
if t'le Boer war continutd long
enough he would give England an
army by carrying out hia plan of
training and seasoning new recruits,
probably had some of the problems
to solve which now confront the
Am-rican people. It uoiw looks as
if tne hu»t for Villa would take
long enough to teach many whole
some lessons. Incidentally the ajl
voc.ites of urej>aredness will • be
abl<j to point to many things to
heln their si le of the argument. —

With a tremendous war waging cu
