Toheulnwllh the plaint of the First Chief, mil ihi-re lie any ilouhl Hint he regards "tho iiiMision of our coun try by Hip font's of tieiieral I'i.kniiinu h very wrong mid tery utifnlr"? lie litis said as much, and more loo, In communications addressed hy Seere tnry Aouii.ab to the WiiHhlnutnn Oov ernment. The eiedlllon crossed the border while General Cahiianza was proposing tho dellinllatlon of a zone of operations ami conditions lookiiiK to Joint ncilon between his own sol diers mnl Hip Americans. That Mr. Wiimin mlsiinileihiiioii him, or as. unneil 11 cou-imiI Hint was mil clien, Is a mailer of record. lloweer, Hie I'lrn Chief ylehhsl to a military mow ment that was under way, mid he Is Jiotv quoted ns sayliiR -his reliietiint nsent lienri lil 111 nut -that "wefchonld not hi) complained much If the American army had made, n quick lah act Dsn the border and theu with- drawn." As the First Chief appointed ronmlMlonmn to brine nbotit th re tirement of Pemhino'a force to Amer ican territory, what Is there strange In the statement attributed to him that "mnlnlulnliiK the expedition In Mexico,' like a thorn In our aide, Is very unjust and has hurt our Gov ernment"? Thnt It has been n stntul- ag grievance Is notorious. The First Chief Is represented ns saying that "we eiinnut make such nets of your President accord with his words uf sympathy," mnl that Mexlcnns would "prefer n tlrm, frank, nmslstent policy from the United Slates to such it policy as Wilson's." Why, thnt Is Just what any rational man In General Cauran.a's position would Kay over and over again. One touch of Wilson makes kin of all who have deallngs'wlth lilm. The Inter view about which such a isither Is made In Washington contains only the obvious and the oft repeated. What General Camiana thinks his Secretary for Forelpi Kelutlons Aoci lac thinks. How many limes the latter must have said openly that Mexicans "feel that Wilson's policy has at times heeu marked hy vat Illa tion and double dealing, or at hfst that his words and deeds have not always been reconcilable with each other." That Is the Judgment of uni versal experience. General Oiiiikuon Is quoted as saying the same thing, and us declaring that a mistake was made when General Persiiino's ex pedition was not held hack until co operation with the Carranzlstns had Ihimi arranged. So Oiibkoon told Gen eral lli.oit 1,. Srurr nt the Kl Paso conference. General Paulo Gonzales, according to llm Interviewer, com plained about nn embargo on certain articles "which the Constitutionalist Government had been obtaining In the Cnlteil States." Pncltlcntlon, he said, had been retarded by at least a year. What he referred to was the holding up of materials for the equipment of an ammunition plnnt in Mexico. Tliey had been ordered In New York on the ii-iimptlon thnt n Government recog nized would have the right to Import them. That Is the particular grievance of General Gonzales, and he miit often have given utterance lo li. Now If these Mexican leaders had been put In the position of def.tlng the f nihil States and lalklnc bellig erency. It would be a grnxe matter; but Hie offence seems to be only Hint tlu'lr sHikeu thoughts have been re produii'il nt an awkward lime for the AdmluiMriitloti at Wa-hiuglon.

Ai.iAAMii.it Am mi. a Slav of ph.v-l-cm I magnillit'iiit', instead of going to tin1 wars, remained In America lo wage Hip Ipsmt fray of wrestling. Hp. who might liai torn Tinks in two or curiliil off HiMiKMiriits under his arm, or ortod Hip Grand Puke's heaviest mi 1 1 cT.es In the Caucasus, gruiili'd and .struggled on the mat In West Thtrl.N-foiirth street. And when another wrestler, a .second I.kwis jclept St rangier. Issued circulars In which he boasted that hp had thrown this Itiisshin, Aiiekii did not treat him ns John Hum treated Ctuw.u Hi mink, hut sued him for .M.'.ikjo for damagp of reputation, .ludgp Ha'mi of the Cnititl States District Court iiwanli'il halm of to Anr.w;, bill pointed out that it was ridiculous to assume that Hie circulars had done the Itu- Man harm to the extent of the great sum he demanded : and Hip opinion mldisl 10 the law books u Jin I Ii-iii) In terpreiiitloii nf general thought on Hip siiltjpct of wrestlers' boasts: "The public t mitely not an naive rfK to take at their face value the assertion of puclliats nd profefalonal athleteaj ure all pay little attention to such .id tertlnoinents and If Tie wish to know consult an imvartial eourre. It Is true that thin plucant was made up of news paper cllpplnnii, whkh jr.tve It n ap pearance of greater Impartiality, hut even no. It Is tou great a ktraln on one's credulity to accept the plaintiff's Infer ernes from so small a detail uf the total placard. It was olivloualy n putting ad vertisement and nothing- more." We might sny In pnlllatlon nf Hip proud puffing of both Anwin and I.kwih that wrestlers, pcrhups exclud ing .Iacoii, hae bragged since the dawn of man. Tho boast has been used as the preliminary psychological attack, otherwise known as getting Hip goat. The Duke's wrestler 114 "As Volt l.ike It" might have been on the eve of a match In Hie Garden : "Ciiari.es. 'To-morrow, sir, I wrestle for my credit, nnd he that escapes me without some broken limb shall acquit him well." , lie did not add that he was lit us a llildle or In Hip pink of conillilon; Siiaki:si'Kare did not let him say a great deal. Hut he bragged again a little further on: If he come to-morrow I'll Kite, lilm his payment. If ever he a;n alone again he'll never wrestle for prlie more." The modern equivalent of this wiuilrt appear: "Duke Fhedkiuck, manager of Char- mi: the Ox, saJcl yeutjrday that his man would make Young Ori.anio look Ilka a novice when they met. Ho added that the only thing that won led him was the possibility of r'liAttMK crippling Om.anpo, niton real name . Dt Hois and who comes of a prominent Flatbueli famll." CnARLEH kept up the good work nl matslde: "Where Is this young gallant that la no dealroua to lie with Ida mother earth?" Am a writer of buslnefpr this bis scene Rhakespeare was no such Wllllnm as BRAnr. The stage direc tions nre miserably bare: "Charlcs and ( Orlanpo wrestle." "CiiAiaas la thrown. 8hout." "Charles Is borne out." Hut the bard certainly showed that the wrestlers of his day wero not saturated with modesty. They have remained cousclous of their greatness ever since. Ton Jy.NKtNH used to say that he would not let any one, even his own child In play, put his shoul ders down. As for .lAron, he too wns n man of self-cotilldence. If his great match were reported to-dny by pagan scribes It might be written that the angel wanted to quit. "T,Pt me go, for the day hrenkcth." Hut .TAoon was re lentless; "I will not let thee go. ex cept Ihou bless me." No suggestion of a draw hns been accepted on such terms since that time. ' Behold the Airplane. .The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics hns N'en simplifying aeronautical nomenclature, nnd ml vles thnt we use "airplane" here after Instead of "aeroplane." Inas much ns "aeroplntie." which should be pronounced In four syllables with the accent on the llrst. Is universally rendered "nlroplano" the point seems reasonably taken. Perhaps the purists will cry out. They long scorned "automobile" as a hybrid compoundeiK of "Latin and Greek. Hut their contumely did not sniotlHjr the geneml acceptance of the word In this country. In Ihighind 11 In different. There .ton hate a "motor." It may be noted that Hip Ihigllsh gen erally go us one belter In securing new words of a crisp brevity; for ex maple, the I'ngllshumu goes to the "lllm." not the "unities." And his word for the klnephoUigraphli.' process "filmed" Is a happy .selection. Purists have iilwayo had a Imrd row to travel. 1jok In Hint Ann Grnt AViiite's "Words and Their Vsps," published a half century or less ngo. The Shakespearian scholar nnd hater of formal gniminnr denounced tho use of "Ice :ream." There was. ho said, no such substance; and hp urged eterylsnly lo speak always mnl aptly of "Iced cream." To-dny we can onl read this tt lib a smile.

I.iieit week the town was told that certain cmlnt-nt reformers who hart tun foul of the law would stay In Jail and Indulge in a hiitiuei- strike; but Siindiy night they vveteat liberty unrt eating heartily at n publlo dinner. .Martyrdom achieved under such con ditions might be almost endurable. The mere dropping of a kind word to a man who Is longing for sympathy works wonders. The Commoner. What a philanthropist Dollar Hill is! Mr. Wilson says he would put America first, but America wishes that In his dealings with Mexico he had put American women and children flrst. Tho surprising thing Is that Captain IIoelkk, tho German aeroplane hunter, was not killed before To the dangers Inseparable from Hying day by ilay motor troubles, structural weakness of tile fabric, wind vagaries -thoro wore added In his case the perils of combat In tlm air, for Hollkh was a targel for all the. ambitious iitnl daring uvla tora hi tho enemy's lines.

As flSRRAlb commands a consid erable force of French troops, a denial from him seems to be unnecessary. The proprietors of a New Jersey powder works are "severely criticised" for not allowing- II.OrToWrrrPBNN and Henator Htiaitcs to campaign In their factory. Without desiring to deprive th Democrats of a great Issue, U may be recorded that exclualon from a pow der mill Is one tyrannous act of heart less Capital that even a politician would not complain of. The Htnte of Washington editor who Is going to print tho next Issue of the Cnstle Hock Aitvorntr on one or more shingles, because shingles are on the free list, has never wrestled with a Humbiy supplement, The Allied are eager to give Ger many food for thought.

Home, October 30, A Borrowing From Dlvraell. To the KlilTun of Tits Sun Sir; Was not Woodrntv Wilson aptly described when llenjamln Disraeli said nf a polit ical opponent ; "He Is n sophistical rhet orician Inebriated wti Hie exuberance of his own verbosity and girted with an egotistical Imagination that cm, at all times, command an Interminable and ltioon.sient series of arguments to ma lign an opponent and to glorify him self"? John llEitsitET. TtiENTov, .V. J October 30, What Hughes Wonld Hare Hone. To Tin: EiuTun or The Sun .Sir: Mr. Wilson's supporters nre asking about what Mr. Hughes would have done If he had been President. He would have protected American citizen In their per sonal and property rights, wherever they might !) In the vvorld. I believe, also, tlmt under Mr. Hughes we should have had peace with honor as tejtpeet.t Hili'Dpe and no war with Mexico. I.e. g.illy w ate tit war ivitli Mexico, not withstanding tho President's assurances to the foiitr.ii. Mr lluuiics would not have signed the I'ndertvoud tariff bill, which threw hun dreds of thousands of men nut of work mat brought misery and poverty Into tho lann. There would have been no necessity for a bundle day nor the opening of munlo. Ipal lodging houses and employment bureaus until the advent of a great war thruat temporary prosperity on us. lt. Hughes would have lnelttwpoa an honest, efficient and economical han dling of publlo funds and w should, therefore, have had no suoh disgraceful misuse and waste of our national re sources. Mr. Hughes would have placed the country's welfare above party patron- ace and pork. If Mr. Hurhes had bean or President laws would not be en. acted under duress and threat because. at critical times, he would "take coun sel of his principles and not his fears. Perhaps nothing served more to de feat Governor Olynn In 1914 than the nature of his appointments. Will this be the case with Mr. Wilson? He pro fesses a belief In rational government and then places the Impossible Hryan at the bead of the great State Depart ment of the Oovertmient. He now pro fesses a belief In preparedness and yet we find the unfit and Incompetent Dan iels, the man who "places punctuation above target practice," at the head of the navy and the unqualified "rttm Home" llaker, "the man who knits well," at the head of the army.

If not with pride, at any rate with satisfaction. "He lMd nt out of war!" So nil pervading had the Idea of this keeping out of war become that It ban been enthusiastically adopted as the cam paign slogan, "Ho kept ua out of war." Now, In bin speech nt Cincinnati on October is Mr, Wilson han added a postscript to the slogan. He sas, "Hut I won't do It ngaln !" Wilson does not nay what the I'nlted Stales In to fight about, but sas that this Is the last war that Involves the world that the United States can keep nut of. He Is like the Irishman In the barroom who asked at be watched the battle royal. "Is thl" a ptlvate fight, or can any one get In It?" It may be that Mr Wilson Is not t trowing out a bid for the lighting Irish li'Lrarv vote, but Is merely trying to keep bit leenrd ettalght.

PROSPERITY BROUGHT BY THE WAm MUST END WHEN UnlMS Protectee by SnrUM) lUla4tii, AraetieM Ijibor Will Suffer Warn Pence Is Certainly the manufacturing people and the laborers of tho country have not forgotten the effects of the Underwood law during the tlmo It was operative lieforo the Kttropean war broke out; that It opened our ports to goods of foreign countries which oc cupied the markets of home pi otitic Hon; that It took off the payroll 00. 000 American laborers and placed them on the idlo roll: thnt It brought the country fnce to face with a panic which was averted only by the Secre tary nf the Treasury assuring the banks of the country that $50O.O0O,00Q, emergency currency already fn tho Treasury was avallablo to their use on required security as provided by the Alilrlch-Vreelnnd act of May 30, 10S, a Uw passed by a Itepubllcan Congress to meet emergencies of con tracted credit and panicky conditions of the country, such ns provalled In June, 1!)13. The people will not forget, either, that tho effect of tho Underwood law was the monthly curtailment of our ex portatlons from the dato the Under woihI law took effect unlit In April, 1914, the balance of trade went against us to nn amount above $11,000,000, and continued against us each month to nnd Including August, 114, when tho war oriK-rs of the European war shifted the balanc of trade In our favor. They will not forget that the present prosperity of the country Is but partial, and Is based nn the ab normal ordeis and demands for war supplies in Murope, and when the war Is over nnd peaco reigns normal conditions will return of competition under the Cnrterwood law, mills will cloc and labor be Idle again. Nor will they overlook the fact that tho pres ent boasted prosperity of the country Is but partial nnd not general, and that there have been more commercial fnllureg during the Wilson Adminis tration than ever before In the same length of time. During the Taft ad ministration the highest number nf fulltires In any one year was I.",lfi2 In 1011: while under tbn Wilson Ad ministration the failures were 16,037 for 1313; 2I,15 for 1!14. and 9.495 for the first half of 10D". Fewer miles of railroad were built last year than In a half century, and more lines were In bankruptcy than before In the history of the country. The people will not forget that a vote for Wilson In No vember It a vole to lower the Ameri can wage scale and standard of living to the ICttiiipeau levels. Will the present generation of peo ple profit bv (he experience of those of s7 to It2l and of IS.Vf lo 18617 What lessons has history In nloni to leach lelatlve to wuts followed by peace In llurope while policies of low tariffs or frre ttad" similar lo the l'nderwood law prevailed In thl coimliy?
