MEXICO OUR ENEMY. It is very apparent that, during the past forty-eight hours develop i wants have occurred which places Mexico against us ns an avowed eromy and joins her to . Gormany ': The propaganda of Germany has tak en ront in Mexican soil. We arc ' now face to face with Germany at, home a Germany working through ; : the simple) peon of Mexico. ; .-. . : . . ; Settle down to the sternness of the situation. The draft age will be - raised In time nnd a large army of men ' past forty will be required on the Mexican bonier. ; Bear Jir mind the Mexicans iiive been in rebellion for seven years and during thnt tlmt they have developed armies of sea' ' sened soldiers. It Is no "before i ; breakfast" matter to whip Mexic but to all appearances thnt will be . or. the program for the United States to do. We will whip Mexico to be sure, but .be mindful of the 'task it is not a smati one, and will rcqulrt ' ' many men. ,- - , '' - - , , Truly, the United States must set tie down te the business of war., W ; must have tho foml enrd nnd quit o lot of this lost motion in the nii . pleading with people. Wo must have the rigid rules 'of life which war di crees and the sooner, wo all begi:. to understand thoso necessities thi sooner will we bo Bble to prosecute this war business In a succcssfu; manner. "ORDERED PLACED ON FILE." . Colon! Roosevelt has made his at tack upon the administration by call . ing down the post-office depnrtmen. and rapping Hearst ns a pro-German His nttack was read in the Unite i' . Stutes senate nnd the senators listet. cd, ordering the document filed along with some of Postmaster-General rfurleson's statements. It was tno. that a Republican senator expressed a hope that the incident was closed Much as many of us admire the Colonel and believe thoroughly in his judgment, his statesmanship nnd his fur-sightcdnesa there is a general feeling of regret that this matter should have come up at this time Granting that every word is a fact granting that conditions are ever wors than the Colonel has painted them, we believe this is no time fot - u to begin a homo scrap. Harmony. is essential in this country. Ever though that harmony conies a littU high, we must have it, and Colone' Roosevelt's attack will not get an . further for the present than being ' "ordered placed on file." Postpone the home fight until afte we have whipped Germany, then w can "wash linen" for a decade prob ably on the different arts, but n member that mistakes have been made by all parties and by ever President who has been forced to lc come war President. WILD KCMOHS PHOBABLB. '.The reports "indicate that the ex pected offensive has begun. : This if a time to look out for wild rumort both of the bright and the gloom; kind. No one can , understand hov rumors get started, but they radiaf with greater facility than waves or the water when once they are start ed.

This offensive was expected, , or rather it has been expected for some time, and there has evidently beer. vast preparation on the part of th German commanders to make prog- ress in the drive. They are in a prace where there can beno pcrmah ent suspension. No doubt the press- uve of German opinion is also an ln: ,nttcm, tno ,etnte convonllon of thf, centive to attack with all the force.

AJI is hope and confidence oh the side of the allies. There may be tern ' poiary successes on the side of the ; enemy, but there Is no grounds, to (be lieve that the attack wilt be met wit any lens vulor than was displayed li the preceding onslaughts. The allied atmies are not on the firing line to be beaten; it must be that their wills are steeled like adamant and an anx ious world is buoyed up in the faith that they will not stand defeat, Over all this there must come to """ u""'"' ,,B 8o"0a'y " rat her home.
