DAILY the situation in Mexico grows more serious and cor
respondingly more awkward for the United States^ Con
fronted by a formidable and growing rebellion, Diaz has
issued a call for volunteers, which, in view of
prevailing conditions, looks like a counsel of
despair. The fact is that a despot has no
friends and no followers except those whose
wages he pays, and the compensation that he,
Serious
Situation
in Mexico
offers for enlisted men is not alluring in the circumstances.
Diaz has done his work, and it may be added that it was well
done as far as keeping order and promoting industrial development
were concerned. But this development of the national resources
has been inevitably attended by an advance in intelligence, with a
consequent demand for free and constitutional government.
If Diaz had crushed the rebellion at the start he could probably
have retained power, but his administration developed unexpected
weakness, until now the insurgents have been able to organize their
forces, so that the rebellion bids fair to emerge from the status of
mere guerrilla warfare. '.•'..- .!
An American correspondent describes the work on these lines
undertaken by General Orozco in Chihuahua:!
The rebels have learned several valuable lessons by experience, and
Orozco is' busy putting some of them into practice. This is the first time
they have organized a force of 600 men into one body, such as Orozco had
with him for a week within fifteen miles of Minaca, and this force has now
increased to 800 men. * ■„
Up to that time groups of from 50 to 150 men acted under one chief
and moved where they pleased without military plan. Orozco has organ
ized these loose elements into a compact lighting machine. He puts
66 men in a company and 10 companies to a regiment. As fast as a
company is organized, he sends it where its services are needed.
When I left him he had seven companies organized and had within a
- radius of a few miles 800 men that he could quickly concentrate against
any given point. Besides these, 500 more are coming from Ocampo and
200 from Dolores. When I left, Gabriel Dominguez was at Tojolochachic,
with 100 men in the hills, waiting for a hundred more before joining
Orozco. "U
If the insurgents can organize an army capable of keeping order
aud putting down the banditti they will shortly be demanding recog
nition as belligerents by the United States.* A condition of this
character would supply a far, more satisfactory solution of the prob
lem than intervention by the United States, which would involve
invasion and would call for an army of more than 100,000 men.
The handful of United States troops now on the border would be
quite inadequate for the restoration of order and pacification of the
immense territory comprised in the republic.
The easiest and best solution of the difficulty would be the
resignation of Diaz. He has done his work and done it well, but
'he is out of date.
S. curious speculation on the subject of recurring war scares
is suggested by Representative Foster of Vermont, who is a
member of the house committee on foreign affairs, and as such
i : 1 is able to see behind the scenes. He is not
moved by the manufacturers of war scares and
i war sentiment except to anger. The inspira-
I tion of this industry he plainly declares to be
' a greedy and unscrupulous commercialism.
The Profes
sional War
Scaremongers
His denunciation reads:
I am absolutely convinced that there is a criminal conspiracy on foot
for the purpose of bringing on a war between the United States and
I Japan, Thousands upon thousands' of dollars are being spent to carry
on lis propaganda, and I am confident that the plans of these con
spirators will unfold themselves before •C'cry long, 1 am convinced that
this constant agitation for a war between the two nations is nothing but
a subterfuge employed by those people who are determined that this
government shall build not less than two battleships each year. To '
endanger the friendly relations of two great nations in order that certain
selfish interests* may be gratified is nothing short of criminal.
. Much of this has been suspected for some time. It'is clear that
there is a concurrence of interests making their profits out of big
appropriations for the various forms of militarism. How ; hard up
they arc for material to feed the fire may be gathered from the
'industrious promotion of the Japanese invasion, scare, which five
minute^ consideration might show to be preposterous.
A writer in the Japan Times has taken pains to examine the
invasion theory, with these results :'-.*
J To convey 100,000 men across the Pacific ocean at. an average of
1,000 men to the transport would require 100 ships. To convey coal and
supplies and to serve as dispatch boats, approximately 50 additional
craft would be required. A fleet of not less than '30 battleships would
accompany such a flotilla. This would be a total of 180 vessels.
A passenger steamer at the present time journeys. from Yokohama to. ■
Seattle or San Francisco or Portland in 20 days. This" imaginary
Japanese armada of I£o ships could travel no faster than the slowest of
the fleet. There would be numberless delays en route because of break
downs in engine rooms, and the stoppage of,one would mean 1 the:stop-!
page of all. It would be a nautical feat to bring those 180 ships across
the Pacific in less than 60 days. ;
Visualize for yourself this* monstrous fleet crossing the Pacific,
I approximately 150 ships guarded by 30 men-of-war, and even a land
lubber may correctly., picture the enormous front they, would present for
attack by the warships of the United States! •If these ships traveled. in
a column and each were allowed 1.000 feet of sea room, they.would make
a line 34 miles long. If they' sailed in double column order, the column
would be 17 miles long. Imagine, then, a fleet of American battleships/
looming up out of the night and hurling itself against the Japanese front
at any point! __ ._ _. '.- ■' y^
If the Japanese transports and auxiliary ..■ships '-were to travel in a
mass in cylindrical form, then the 30 battleships *■ must * be distributed -
in an attenuated line all the.way around it, rendering it pregnable at any
point to an attack by "our.fleet,-.with the possibility of awful loss'of life
by the Japanese through the sinking of the transports.
It scarcely needed this demonstration to show how utterly silly
and disastrous would-be an attempt to invade this country with .an
army from the other side of the/Pacific. It taxed England's great
resources to the utmost to transport an army to South Africa, and
its troopships did not have to run the gauntlet of a hostile fleet.

Cooking Lectures Free to All
Call’s Teacher Is an Expert
With that Infinite care
for details, which must go
toward perfection, arrange
ments are going on for the
opening of The Call's
"Cooking Lectures" by
Mrs. Bertha Palmer Half.
ner at -Hale Brothers'
store.
Next Monday afternoon
will be the time of tho
first of these lectures, and
2 lock will be the hour.
Two o'clock, that means
not 2:15 or 2:30, or run-,
ring on' Indefinitely later
In the afternoon. Mrs.
Haffner has asked that
those who are coming to
the lectures be on time.
There is no turning back
ward, oh, lectures, in their
flight, or anything of that
sort. So if you want to
come and learn at The
Call's expense how to make
a happy home, be in your
chair at 2 o'clock.
There will be no scheme
of lectures announced, and
no specific announcements
will be made as to what Is
to take place. Each day
will be a. happy surprise as
to the subject.
Let the charitable organ
izations of the city now take note. Attention, chart-
Let a committee be appointed from such organizations
who are desirous of making money, and let these repre
sentatives come to Interview Mrs. Haffner at The Call
offices next Thursday afternoon between the hours of
2 and 4 o'clock.
The scheme Is this: "Each day Mrs. Haffner will have
a luncheon prepared, and at the close of her lesson, this
will be served at a moderate figure to those who have
attended tho lecture.
The proceeds will go, in their entirety, as the lunch
eon will be donated, to a different charity each day.
Booklovers’ Catalogue Is Out
Today -Do You Want One?
The List of 5,000 Books Will Contain All
Titles Represented
What with pleas and prayers for a book catalogue coming in with
renewed vehemence following yesterday's intimation that some sort of a
book list was* forthcoming, a rush order was given the printer, and the
Booklovers* contest catalogues will go on sale this morning at the San
Francisco and the Oakland offices of The Call.
The price per copy will be 35 cents; 40 cents by mail.
Now, remember that contestants are not required to secure this
catalogue. They may go through the contest without it if they please.
This is the catalogue of books used by the Booklovers' Contest
editor in selecting the book titles from which the pictures have been
drawn so far, and it is the catalogue he will use in selecting all the
titles.
In other words*, this catalogue will furnish all the 77 titles repre
sented by the 77 pictures of the Booklovers* Contest.
The total number of titles in the catalogue is more than 5,000, so
there is ample room for booklovers to delve. The titles are carefully
arranged, in alphabetical order. After each book is the full name of
its author.
THE TITLES ARE THERE
And somewhere among these more than 5,000 are the,titles that
will be represented. ,
If .you believe that a certain picture may represent a particular
book, and want to make sure that you are at least on the right track,
you may consult your catalogue. Now, if the title is in the catalogue,
you may feel that you arc close on the heels of success. It may be one
of the 77 correct titles. But if the title is not in the catalogue, then
abandon all idea bat it is the correct title. For the 77 correct titles will
all be taken from the catalogue. -B,^BB@|SBB&^^^^^SPBB
Many a time it may chance—as hapless contestants have written
that it has chanced—that you can not lor the life of you think what
title a certain picture represents. -
In that case, refer to your catalogue for what you think the title
might he.
The picture you can not solve may, for instance, be that of a dog
standing on top of a house. In that case, take up your catalogue,
turn to the j "H's," and look ; for •- "house." If you can * not find a title
beginning with "house," turn to the "D's" and look for "dog." If again
no title presents itself, exercise a little ingenuity and think of what that
title might be. "Canine" would be a good word to look up, and you
could think of several others.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT
Even when the pictures arc easy enough, the catalogue is good to
set your mind at rest. See if the title is in the catalogue before writing
it down on the coupon. If it is not, you arc wrong. If it is, you may
be right. .*■'",','
This catalogue is copyrighted by the Booklovers' Contest company
of New York, and is an official and reliable publication. The Call could
find no better catalogue anywhere for the purposes of the booklovers*
contestants.
• And it may be had for 35 cents,"remember, or 40 cents' by mail.
Mail requests,-inclosing the 40 cents, must be sent to The San Fran
cisco Call Booklovers' Contest editor, San Francisco, Cal.

the editor can get around to it. Here are' answers to!several of them:

be the titles of well known books of any kindfiction, science, history,
or even reference. Any permanent bound volume is' termed a "book"
in the meaning of this contest.
THREE STATES IN CONTEST
Contestants writing me from Reno, Carson City,- Portland, and
other cities in California, Oregon and Nevada are notified that they are
eligible to compete in this contest. Those three states are,included in
the contest, and persons residing in other "states * can not compete."

be made for several days in The Call, and contestants residing far away
from San Francisco will be given ample time to get their, answers here.
The nine back pictures and coupons may be obtained from The
Call's San Francisco or Oakland offices for .45 cents. They: are 5 cents

the best they could offer along these lines.
Since then post graduate courses have been taken by
Mrs. Haffner, and she has entirely reorganized, rehabili
tated and renovated a lot of the old ideas which she
declares were not near so good as her nice new ones.
The Call's lectures will last five weeks, and what a
young woman—or an old one either—can not' learn
under Mrs. Haffner in that time will be an insignificant
factor In the scheme of the culinary universe.
Already there has been a marked enthusiasm dis
played by the public, and inquiries as to details have
kept The Call's telephones busy today—likewise the
"cook lady" editor.
Details of this plan will
be discussed fully by Mrs.
Haffner and those women
who meet her at The Call
office Thursday afternoon.
It must be borne In mind
that these lectures are
given by The Call abso
lutely free of charge to
any one' desiring to attend.
There are no tags, coupons,
tickets, enrollment or any
other preliminaries neces
sary.
Just wander into Hale
Brothers before 2 o'clock
any afternoon and hear
Mrs. Haffner give you the
benefit of 20 years of study,
demonstration, practical
experience and investiga

The Morning Chit-Chat
I HEARD something the other day which made me
fairly sick at heart with horror and disgust.
. A certain married manl hate to give him that
name, but must for purposes of convenience— going
about telling his men friends and generally circulating the
story that a young girl, with whom he has been seen a
good deal of late, is perpetually chasing him up and beg
ging him to take her to dinner, walk to the train with her,
etc. .
This is the girl's side of the story, which, of course,
has not received any such general circulation.
The man has told her how unhappy he is at home,
that he is. not understood, that she is one of the rare
creatures who can understand him. that it is not just:
because he made the mistake of marrying a woman not .
suited to him that he should be entirely denied the stimulus and inspiration of
her society, that there is no possible harm in her going to dinner with him at a
reputable restaurant occasionally or letting him walk to the station, with her,
ai\d that people who would talk about her are evil minded and not worth
noticing, y .
The girl is at heart a nice little girl, who wants to do what is right and
has no real idea of the desolate wilderness into which "the primrose path she
is treading may lead her.
Of course, she knows in a general way that it is something of which;
mother would not approve, but mother is so old fashioned she justifies her
self that you can't always tell by what she thinks. And then she has been
so lonesome and worked so hard, and had so little fun since she came to the
city, and he is the first _ man who has been especially kind to her, and the
diversion of his friendship and kindly attentions, the delight of having some-;
', thing to look forward to -from day to day, has gradually become very im
portant to her. The wrong is partly glossed over by his' specious arguments'
and partly by her feelings that -she is really of use to him. And for the rest,.
well, lonesomeness and overwork arc not' very good as stimulaters of the
moral sense. ; .
That she hasn't the vaguest notion of the abominable and utterly un
founded story he is circulating about her goes without saying.
-. Poor, foolish little girl! - ...
. How I wish that you and \ all your poor foolish little sisters who trust
men like this* one so blindly might see your true positions for a moment!
I think it would mean some pretty sharp, short stops for you and soma
pretty hard croppers for some of the cads if you could.
