INTERVENTION IS
THE ONLY SOLUTION
More than two years ago. The
Tribune expressed an editorial opin­
ion that the United States would lie
compelled to intervene in the Mexi­
can muddle la-fore that country
would liecome (tacitied and Is* placed
upon a is-aceful footing. There has
been no reason to revise that opinion
up to the present time, indeetl
there is leas reason today than there
was thr«<e or four months ago.
President Wilson has, probably,
understissl the Mexican question
thoroughly from the lirgmning lie
knows that the revolution down
there was brought about by the
Mexican people to free themselves
from domination of the church and
the grasping, greedy encroachments
of foreign big business. whose trnti-
cbm were rapidly grasping up their
natural wealth producing few >u rev»
He knows that these two influence*
are not in that country to develop
ami raise up the condition of the
people, but for the exploitation of
the natural and physical resources
of that country. He knows, also,
that it is these same influence« which
are iiehtnd the demand for inter­
vention I mi th in Mexico and in this
country and that the murderous
raidt-s by Villistas across the border
to the American side, received the’r
Inspiration from the same sources
The president, therefore, has iust
cause for reluctance in intervening
But the raiding of armed tiandits
to the American side, places matters
in a different light. Attacks on
American troops who are patrolling
the border, not for purposes of war
but to maintain peace, is a causu»
belli which cannot be overlooked.
Even while negotiations were go­
ing on to arrange for the future
peaceful activities of our troops,
one of these raids was successfully
pullext off. So it is idle to expect a
lawless people, who have no rr*|>ect
for their own government nor its
laws, to respect our government
and our laws, to which they do not
owe allegiance, unless such respect
is enforce«! by wholesome fear.
President Wilson has exhausted
hia every resource except force, to
have Mexico respect American life
ami to restore a peaceful orderly
condition in that unhappy country.
The time has fully arrived when
Mexican I »and its. including those
who march under the Car ran za flag,
must lie compelled to r«*ap«-ct the
American flag and the propl«* it in
supposetl to protect.

business and the church, that is our
misfortune ami the gixxl fortune of
Mexico, for the vast majority of the
Mexican people want |ieace ami

GERMANY'S REFLY
As was generally exp«*cted. Ger­
many's reply to Presid«mt Wilson's
ultimatum was a long wimfed argu­
mentative document, much of the
same tenor of her previous miles
during the long protracted diploma­
tic controversy. In reading the re-
oly. on«* cannot help but feel that
Germany is sparring for time. She
makes no promises of further change
of submarine conduct other than to
say, by implication, make the other
lie good ami I will be good.
This is not a response to President
Wilson's note in any way satisfac­
tory. It is neither yes nor no and
simply leaves the question open for
further discussion.
Presulent Wilson cannot afford to
discuss this matter further, when
discussion is fruitless and he would
simply place the American govern­
ment in a position subject to ridi­
cule
It would cause our govern­
ment to l<iae the re«|>«*ct of the oth­
