LAX~ YITWV W 1IW ~A,% V idAÀ741<14 It is stat. wIth authrt that more Americans have * been kfiled ini Mexc ince this trouble started, than were kiiled in the U. 8. navy ALL DURING the Spanish- Anierican war. And still we're flot officially at war! Kingston Mines, Peoria county, bas elected the first * wornan mayor in Illinois. Her succesB or failure wilTrbe watched with keen intereet throughout the state and na- tion. Women suffragettes likely wiIl tender lier so many suggestions that she will have a whirling head for some timé to corne. So long as It keeps whirling and doesn't get entirely turned, she will be able te fuis along ail right. Whiile everybody opposes war where war can be avoid- ed, the Mexican -situation plainly is this: It's 1k. a bad ceue of human anatomy, one which >needs a surgical oper- ation and where friends of the patient are urgiug delay when the surgeons urge action. It's a case where the oper- ation muat come sooner or later te save thie patient's life. go, with Mexico, the "loperation"' must corne later, 80, why dela.y it at the sacrifice of life, property and national honor? The. birds bave returned from the South these many days now, and for the niontbs of Spring and Summr, clear inte the froats of Fail, they wlll ail be with us. Some of thern, the hardfest and most courageous, stick it ont, fair weather or foui, alictit is as mucli as sign of Spring te see these old frlends stir about as it is to se. the first of the mlgratol'y flooa. T pe ~ople of the.'United States may well congratulate theinseives on- their'friendship for the birds. Foreigners, before they can* become members of the U.8. asa, .tut ffï0t become citizen; of tii. -Uufte States., And, it's singular te note that many of theni arei hastening te get their papers in order that tiiey may serve in the Mexican. criais. Som@ of them even have, said they have dellued e4lstlug in their native countries, but add that if the Un4ýe States needs their heip, they'r. readyt to tender it. We must concede that such an attitude ex- eressed admiration and patriotism for this country. After all, it oeems sort of bard te think of some of these naval training station lads bsing rushed off to war at thec young age tliey have attained which bas just enabled theni to enter the navy. They enlisted, however, with the expec- tation that they would be in training for a few years before being called upon for real service. But tihe emergency cal has resulted lu them being dispatched after. but a fewb weeks' training at the local station, ami. none aboard ship.f Therefore, they've really gone to war while stffi in theirp 'teens. They start off feeling very light-hearted over their departure, wblch, again, adds argument te their lack of realization of the seoas of tr position. Tii.sanie kind pf a survey that was made of the. inter- national bojindary 'waters by the experts of the. interna- tional commission of the Ujiited States and Canada is now being made of the waters of Lake Michigan a&Îd when it is completed the. go*ernment will have some exact know- ledge of the. extent of the pollution of the. waters of the a lake by sewage at the present time and which wiil be used1 as the basis of legisiation calculated to meet conditions h wiiich ail sanitary experts agre. are growing rapidly worse. Tii. federal -governmnent at no distant day pro- poses te exercise its control over the waters of tiie lake " te the extent of stopping their pollution by sewage and thei. policy of the. goverument ts te b. formuiated on the. know , Iede tbat wM 1»b.galned -iu the.exhaustive survey now t befgconducted. r SIENIORSSAID TO BE DIVIDED OVER THE LIQUOR ÂDS.'
