"We do not want Mexico." he d dares, "especially we do not want her because v do want the good m ilt of the rest of Latin America. It would be a fool's act Indeed to barter the confidence of a hemisphere for all we could train by annexing Mexico. "If armed Intervention should be forced upon us," he continues. "I pre dict that our forces mill bo ordered home just as soon as constitutional order has been restored. But nobody can o.-edlct how far the Influence of the vast American investments In Me iro. mhich mould be multiplied In value br being brought under the American flag-, might go tom-ard ren derlng mithdramal impossible. What we do want in Mexico, and throughout Central America, is order." The trouble with Central America, Dr. Hal asserts, is its proclivity for revolution. But. he says, most Cen tral American revolutions are "pro moted" from Europe ia a regular way of business, exactly as a real estate scheme is promoted in America. Calls Step Important. "When Mr. Wilson took steps to in form himself of the facta regarding the Huerta coup d'etat, with a view to passing a moral Judgment upon the rlphtfulness of the de facto govern ment in Mexico City, he took. It seems to me. the most far-reaching and fate ful Ftep which the Monroe doctrine has inspired in all the process of its evolution. "In the case of Mexican Judgment mas easy. The coup d'etat that over threw Madero in February. 1913, mas in no m-ay a revolution. It was a bar racks plot, a conspiracy of a few army officers, financed by Clentificos living !n exile and a few Spanish reactionar ies. It mas attended by circumstances of treachery execrable, of villainy so fantastic, of cruelty so barbarous. that the story is one mhich the mind has difficulty in accepting as credible. Huerta's Course Exposed. "The chief actor. Huerta, an apelike Indian, aped, one-eyed, subsisting on brandy, mhen the moment of his tri umph mas fully come, rose from break fasting with the president's brother, beckoned a file of soldiers, arrested him. had him carried away to be shot to death and his body thrown into a MEXICANS LEAVE SECTION GANGS Replacement as Railway Labor, era Indicated by Beginning of Exodus.

Most of them are expecting to enlist to fight against the "unngoes. as they term Americans. On nearly every train traveling southwest one or more, usually with theft worldly possessions tied up in a handkerchief, may be seen occupying a seat In the smoker. As a result many of the section gangs are being deDleted. In the event of a war of any duration it seems likely that Greeks. Italians and other foreigners mill entirely replace the Mexicans, m-ho have been employed for several years past in large numbers, particu larly by the Rock Island lines, mhich extend to the Mexican border.

By promises of safe conduct out of the country, the treacherous general obtained the sig natures of President Madero and Vice President Pino Suares to deeds of resignation; hastily gathered less than quorum of congressmen in a cham ber filled with soldiers and command ed by artillery; had himself acknowl- edged as president; carried Madero and Pino Suares out into the night and had them shot to death behind the prison. "Perhaps this is enough to suggest that there could be no question of rec ognizing Huerta as the head of a law-. ful government once it had been re solved to scrutinize revolutions. But indeed it surely would have been im- possible for tragic romance to have imagined a character so hideously villainous as Victorlano Huerta. or a career so completely Justifying the refusal to recognize him. Morality Is Recognized. Other powers made no scruple of giving the assassin and usurper im mediate recognition. Very well; the United States Is not a follower of other powers. It Is. it has been from the beginning of its history, the moral leader of the m-orld. It is the mere fact that great pom-era have no consciences but the United States has a conscience. We are a simple people, unable to rid ourselves of prejudice against murder. This is hypocrisy, sentimentalism, Qulxot- Iclsm, offensive moral superiority, so the British Journals say. No, it is not; it is a plain, sturdy morality, to which, unfortunately, the foreign politics of too many other nations are strangers. "And It Is a very practical morality.'

C, April 24 George Shiras, third, who has Just arrived in Panama to assist Colonel Goethals in making the canal zone a large and safe (haven for birds and animals, is the originator of night photography of mild animals and the pioneer hunter with the camera. Wrhen In congress he was t'.ie author of the original bills putting migratory fish and birds un der federal control, the bill pertaining to birds becoming a law last year, un der the name of the Weeks-McLean bill. He has also suggested a series of international agreements to protect birds migrating; between nations. In a brief filed with the senate. Mr. Shiras' most recent contribution on ohe subject of the newest form of sport, camera hunting, is In the shape of a communication to the National Geographic society at Washington, D. lie opens up a m-lde range of pos- flhllltles for the sportsman and throws new light on the proper may to "teach the young Idea how to shoot." 'A camera and accessories can be so arranged that any animal or bird and many a reptile, however large or small, agile or cunning. mayhave its picture faithfully recorded, durln gday light or darkness, mlthout the immedi ate presence of a human assistant," wrltea Mr. Shiras. "To meet the diffi culties, I have developed methods suit, able to the habits of each animal. In he main, I have used many of the de vices of the trapper rather than the hunter, substituting the automatic cam era for the trap and using the same baits and scents In favorable localities and during the season of the year when success is likely. Some who take p camera hunting become discour sed by early failures, and are unable to pee how such an Instrument can ever be a satisfactory substitute for the sportsman's gun. Others continue on until won over by the attractive ness of a contest where success costs no life or aa avkwardly handled cam era leaves no wounded animal to die a lingering death." Mr. Shiras sets his camera and flash light before darkness. A string across the runway, along m hich the animal is expected to come, or a bait connected by a cord with the shutter and flash apparatus are all the mechanical con trivances necessary. He lets the an4 mal do the rest. I Uilnk very few persons suspect the abundance of night-Coving animals In the vicinity of country homes, where mere is a aense c.ncket, a swamp, or a rocky ravine," he continues. "I have sec out every m inter ror several years past a camera and flashlight ia the town of Ormond Beach, Florida, with in 100 yards of a dozen cottages and a great minter hotel harboring a thou sand guests and employes. Nearly every nigU came the burst of a bril- nam ugnt Deiwixi an orange grove and a thicket. During 33 nights in 1913 the negatives showed 12 skunks, nine or mhich mere of different mark ings; four coons, three possums, one cat, one pointer dog, two rabbits and four wood xats; yet neither the visit ors, natives nor caretakers in this vi cinity ever eucountered any of these animals. "The foeling I so strongly express for the camera as the better medium for testing one's skill In the pursuit of mild animals and birds, in acquiring a knowledge of their habits, and finally in getting a sufficiently satisfactory and enduring trophy, may create the Impression that I look with considera ble disfavor upon those m ho hunt with deadlier meapon. Very much to the contrary is the oasa whenever the sportsman shoots in moderation and Is milling to co-operate in the efforts to conserve the game supply by shorter seasons, by the establishments of gamej refuses, and in the elimination of the market hunter. The sentimentalist mho decries the killing -of all game birds and animals is not Infrequently one mho grumbles when a Joint is tough because the lamb was not killed earlier in its gambols. The successful mlng-shot, mho enjoys plucking from the air a bird on its meteoric flight across the sky, can. if ho tris, capture one. a dozen, or 100 within the con fines of a sensitive plate, while a marsh cene or foe rolling breakers give a life view in striking contrast to the pathetic heap of biood-etained, rumpled feathers marking at the close of a day the accuracy of his aim. So, too. the big-game hunter, rewarded in his quest for an antlered head, may continue on during the remainder of his moodland visit taking many more, but in a may that neither lessens I5i nor the enjoyment of the hunter."
