INTEKVE.VTION, AT LAST
Wliile for two and a half years
President Wilson, lias been insistent
ly maintaining that the United
States had no riijht to intervene in
the t.ictional Tights in Mexico, the
admiuis-tration is about to intervene
While only as recently as his In
dianapolis speech, the President
with emphasis declar; d that the
I'nited States hai no right to pre
vent and would never attempt to
prevent the people of Mexico from
"shedding one another's blood,"
that is precisely the task which the
United States is going to undertake
now, and to which it has already en
listed co-operation and approval of
the othtr leading nations of the
continent.
Formal recognition of Carrauza
is not a mere act of diplomatic
courtesy or m»re friendliness, it
carries with it the obligation to
prevent the shipment of arms to
any banuit chief who now dares to
oppose the Carwmxista dictatorship.
Tha* is the nub of the whole busi
ueaaS. Carranza does not care a
hany whether President Wilson per
sonoJly does or does not believe
that he is the choice of the Mexi
can people. But he does want to
have tho exclusive privilege of get
ting anus and ammunition from tin
United States, the only possible
source of supply, Just now.
The official announcement from
the state department at W'ashiug
toa means, then, that the principal
nations of thl3 continent will now
do everything within their power,
Short of sending troops into Mexico,
to make Carranza absolute in, his
control of Mexico, and to starve out
his enemies. If the United States
had dene as much for the existing
government in Meslco when Mr. Wil
eon came into office (and his pre
—- j— »l/\ if.
mouths "before, 'Hd not Mr. Wil
son been opposed to the idea). Mex

CORRECTING A FAULT
You have undoubtedly noticed that, a number of your negotives
taken during the past summer have been flat. This is due to UNDER
exposure—and the way to pet the best results Is to use a tri-pod, giving
a little time to the taking of the picture. Try it—the result will more
than coinpensrte >ou for the trifling cost of the tri-pod. If you do not
haw one, we can supply your wants. Metal Or wood. With or without
