It cannot be said that educated na tions never go to war, nor that edu cation and culture prevent wars. Such claim is not true, as is evidenced by the present European conflict But education may act as a preventive of war. It may show the way without' .the necessity of resorting to arms.. ;.. Can it not be eaid with at least some eemblaace of truth, that if Mexico bad been an educated nation, that much of the turmoil : which has disturbed her, might have been prevented? V ' The Mast majority of Mexican peo ple are illiterate. Most of them can neither read nor write. The educated claw, taking advantage of the ignor ance of the lower classes,' have im posed upon the latter until the' rebel- lion now coming to an end, was the result.. ' : .-; Some eighty Mexican educators have Just finished a tour of this country. They came to the United States to in vestigate our public schools with a view of introducing a system of pub-' He education m their forlorn land. They did not hesitate to My that Mexico has paid a tremendous price for not having given attention year ago to general education. V The rich took advantage of educational oppor tunities tnt the peons d the' lower classes were, compelled to remain in total ignorance.' ".'!'-. ,"! Our aducational system appealed to the visitors and in it they prof eased to ae the secret of the progress and prosperity of our country.' .'What im pressed the Mexicans more than any thing else, in connection with our schools, was the attention paid to the primary branches. They could under stand our universities; tfivejf 'had itibeiuselves attended colleges. ;' JBut they could not understand our pri mary schools, never having seen any thing l&e them, ' ' - Little Prices That Assure the Quickest Clearance at West's 18th Annual JANUARY '" .

Watchful wait ing, that weH-known American policy regarding Mexico some months ago, sums up the .war situation in Russia today, but watdhful waiting in Russia has a meaning all its own. ": Whereas Uncle Sam; after experi encing a few pin-pricks in his pati ence, remained passive, the ' great Russian bear after sustaining a heal thy, life-sized wallop on his tender snout left out a roar that shook the earth continents away. . .Reduced; to plain' English the roar was: . - "Give me munitions; I've got enough men." . ," . ' That was Several months ago. Rus sia's greatest arsenal, near Petrograd, had been tloWn to smithereens; tlhe j armies of Grand Duke Nicholas, 1 will keep Archangel open all winter for munition-laden ships from Amer ica. Heavily loaded trains are crawl ing across the Siberian plains in al most endless procession, stopping here and there to deposit rifles and cart ridges for the men who have been training with sticks and only lacked the arms' wherewith to join the armies now preparing for Russia's future campaign.' ' ' With the beginning of the New Year various ' estimates place the number of fresh armed Russian troops at five million. At least two million more are being turned at the rate of pvtor half a million a month. An addition al million of twenty-year-old youths were called up on December 4. These will take their places in the ranks early in tne year, yielding to the Austro-German steam . .Russia's . veterans already holding roller, had been driven from the Car- the battle-line from Riga to the Black pathians back into Russia and had Sea and operating in the Caucaus are lost Warsaw and the whole of Poland; there wns political dissension in Rus sia, alarming semi-revolutionary out breaks were occurring here and there; the ever advancing enemy was threat ening even Moscow, oind the greatest estimated to total at least4.000.000. all hardy fighters, making the total of Russian military strength in sight approximately twelve million men.

Russia is today the most active "inter" bear extant. Russia has now mobilized her in dustries and shells and other muni tions in great quantities have begun to flow from the factories and shops in every important Russian city; the Russian cabinet has been reformed with particular reference to a more active onduct of the war; the peas ants wuio used to drink vodka have be come used to a vodka less Russian and are puttincr their profits from vod. kaless harvests hence bigger har vests into the provincial banks; Grand Duke Nicholas has been sup erseded by the Czar as Commander-in-Chief and has taken. hold of the important camnaitm in the Caucause Stirred to renewed vigor under its Ruler, the army has used the shells born or the industrial mobilization and repulsed the enemy in the vicinity of Riga, besides putting him on the defensive elsewhere.

Dimitrieff's first ob jective is Bulgaria, anticipation of which early in December sent Austro German and Bulgarian regiments hastily to Rustchuk, the nearest Bul garian' city to the Russian border. It was Russia that delivered Bul garia from the Turkish yoke. When faced by the Russians as a foe, led by a formed popular general of the Bul garian army, wholesale desertions from the Bulgar forces are consider ed a potent possibility, Russian forces too, have been sent in ample inumbers to the Caucasus m order, if necessary, to lend aid to the British in the event the vuez Uanal should be seriously tihreatened by the reinforced (ierman-led TurKs.
