lU'LE OR RUIN
General Pancho Villa, the lifelong
thief, who is the most formidable
person in Mexico, is reported
to bo oil bis way toward the City
of Mexico, at the head of his army,
to conquer all opposition to tlie
deeds and decrees of the conven
tion of military chieftains which
he completely dominated. It is
congenial employment, and it is
likely to end in making yilla be
yond question the dictator of -Mex
ico.
That is, for a short time. It is
hardly possible that a man of such
character, with bo black a career,
can long be the real ruler of his
country»without, facing formidable
revolts. He will have to maintain
his dictatorship, if he succeeds in
establishing it, by force of arms.
Nothing else will suffice.
The ex-bandit of the chihuahua
hills has no use for any sugges
tion of an agreement which, might
involve his °wn retirement to
private lite. He will not listen to
any plan which would diminish his
power. Villa, like Carranza, but
in greater degree, is determined to
rule Mexico, If h^ cannot dominate
his country he is ready to ruin it.
KhMHUBER THE MAINE
Official Washington felt no alarm,
or admitted none, says the Cleve
land Leader, when a world rumor
iutimated that the United States ar
moured cruiser North Carolina had
been blown up iu the Asiatic Turk
ish port of Smyrna. Ambassador
Morgeuthau had just cabled from
Constantinople the solemn assurance
of the Turkish government that the
interests of neutral nations would
be fully respected. Secretary Daniels
had no fears for the safety of the
cruiser. Still, he ordered the
navy department to make efforts
to set in touch with both the North
C-rolina and Tennessee to ascer
tain their whereabouts and condi
tion.
A year or so ago, when things
in Mexico were becoming uncom
monly precarious, Washington be
came apprehensive for the safety
of American citizens in that coun
try and President Wilson formally
and earnestly advised them to
come home. Would not the ad
ministration do well to follow its
own advice in the case of the two
cruisers that are wandering aim
lessly around the M'Jditerranean
ostensibly for the protection of
American interests"?
A government 'nut dtu not. ptc
veut the murder o( more than 150
cf its citizens in a contiguous
country, though its army -was on
the border and its navy within
call, can hardly expect two cruisers'
in the Aegean Sea to exert moral
persuasion sufficiently strong to
safeguard the lives and property
of missionaries, and other peripate
tic Americans far in the interior of
desert Moslem countries where the
laithful are being inflamed to the
excesses of a "holy war" and Turk
ish commanders are threatening to
kill three Christians for every Mus
sulman killed.
Granting that they are still
afloat and undamaged, it seems
possible that the North Carolina
and the Tennessee are courting
disaster rather than preventing it
and could serve their country best
by coming home out °f harm's
way. Another Maine affair would
be peculiarly regrettable just now
If two provisional governments
for Mexico, why not a few more.
Just to make the game more in
teresting?
It begins to look as if the pro
gressives who Tepented will never
gain the forgiveness of the demo
crats.
The mora the matter is looked
into, the more It seeing that Tur
key has gone to war merely for the
excitement it will afford.
I The Mexican sideshow not only
began first but may go on
doing business long after the main
j performances closes with the usual
' concert.
To be sure, the Alabama was not
a submarine, but it may be well to
bear in mind as a precedent,
both monitory and monetary.
Senator Burton should rest in
peace if his only worry is the fear
that the European war will not be
fought to a decisive finish.
Arizona, in votiug the saloons
j out, has at least clinched its claim
j to tha distinction of being the dry
est state in the union.
German and Austrian residents
have been ordered to get off Rws
I sian soil within two weeks. -But
j what German or Austrian wants to
j'ivo iu Russian now, anyhow?
All that the newspaper humorist
who is hard up for material has to
do now is to dig Up the predictions
made by the democrats before the
election.

IMAGINARY CRIME WAVE
COM BATTED OX CAMPUS
Seattle, Nov. 19—The opening at
the moot court at the University of
Washington recently found "Yell
Duke'' Edris invoking the aid of
the lav." in an endeavor to recover
certain credits he claimed to have
earned in military science and
training, and having Lieut. E. E.
McCanimon summoned before the
b»r of justice. It is also found
ence by mimicing the re-il courts of
manslaughter.
But these cases are really no
evidence of a wave of crime
sweeping over the campus. They
simply indicate that the barristers-'
to-be rre "getting down to b'rass
tacks," and obtaining good experi
ence bv mimicing the real court of
the land.
Students in the school of law
not onlv serve as judges, attorneys
and officers of the moot court, but

Williams found papers, rings and

perisned while attempting to cross
