A MAN foil. THE HOWL
If this country becomes involved
in serious trouble with Mexico, there
is one man in the United States
; who Bince the pnsBing of Winfield
Scott, Znchnry Taylor 'and Old Sam
Houston, Is pre-eminently the man
to cope with the situation.
That man is Theodore Boosevelt

It should be an inspiration tc
read General Pershing's report todu;
which tells of how the American sol
dlers conduct themselves on the Pic.
srdy front It says that the "enemy
was completely expelled." That is
what may bo expected f rorfi the" boya
from thin side of the Atlantic all
along the line where they may he
engaged. If there were anything to
the vaunted super-human capabilities
qf any' nation in distinction from an
other, that distinction would be on
the side of the brave lads who un

humanity..::
Many, many more ore to go am'
tlioy will keep on going until then;
are enough to turn the tide against
the common enemy.'. It Is a proud j
privilege to be one of them. .Whej
they come back victorious and there
is no other outcome cither probable
or possible the citiiens will be rcidy

It is doubtful if a drafted nrmy

It is to he hoped that the im
pending trouble may subside, but if it
is apparent that Mexico is influenced
by the German propagandists and is
spoiling for a fight, now is tho time
for them to be accommodated. Mexi
