/TODAY.

Before this copy of the Tribune has outlived its usefulness this nation may be at war. The enterprise, is regretfully accepted by the American people, but none the .'ess stout-heartedly. President Wikson's course cannot be misinterpreted. No ruler was ever more patient, no executive more indulgent with the violators of his country's Ayeace and rie-hts, --ind every loyal citizen stands at his bao.k, assertions of

Mr. Hughes and Mr. Roosev.elt to the contrary notwithstanding. Oh the eve of this crisis in the history of the nation it is we:', to cake stock.

President Wilson has never wanted •war. In the days when his opponents attacked him and tried to gcad him into the use of the armed forces of the United States, he remained steadfast to his determination that the blood of young Amer'-can .soldiers should .never be shed except-as ihe last reeourse in the effort to uphold the honor of th^ nation.

Once, even when graver eventualities were threatened, the patience of President Wilson's statesmanship was rewarded by diplomatic victory that made the shedding of blood unnecessary. It'was the president's previous moderation that' gave such force to the ominous ultimatum which brought full concession to the rights of America and humanity.

No president In the histcry of the UJnited Stat*? has ever placed the C&use of the people of the. United States upon i higher plane. No president has ever struggled more, valiantly to preserve peace with honor. His critics have proved the case for Pres­

nSKv

ident Wilson. Th'iir unanimous approval of his present' course has not dulled the edge of his desire for honorable peace.

The immovability of the president in the faee- of seihsh and partisan criticism, coming from those who thought more of .'personal advantage than of. th^ wqlfare of the nation, has been the be?.* security of tlie American people throughout tht time the world has been darkened by war clouds.

If the sword of righteousness must now be unsheathed the American people know it is becai.se peaceful means have been exhausted. If the sword is raised to strike it is because the head of the de faoto government of Mexico refuses to'respect the rights of Arrtterica.1

No president: has ever tried so hard to interpret the'real spirit cf America -JVlr.. WiIson has1 said he would rather know what the men and women gathered around their own firesides are saying thah to listen to the orations of the self-appointed.

In his handling of the Mexican problem, President Wilson has been guided by the single impulse to do what the American people would ltave him do— to exhaust all the peaceful means at his disposal to protect the lives and property of Americans, and, failing at that, to uphn'd the honor and dignity of the nation" by the use of its armed forces.

The note written bv trie state department to General Carranza in response to h's threat to attack the American troops presented the complete case of the American government against Mesxico. As tne European situation, when th" irumatum with its ominous npte brought full eoncess'ons, it marked the end of- President Wilson's patience.

The lives of the American soldiers in Mexico, soldiers who were sent there to protect the boraer frorr the raids of bandits bent on murdering Americans, had bep'i, threatened.

In the might of righteousness, the sword of America was then raised to strike, and in the struggle that threatens the nation enters upon its task with a clean and fearless heart.

"BITING THE HAND THAT FEEDS THEM."

Whatever the power back of the promulgation of scurrilous literature that is.passing through .the mails to voters, all attacking Woodrow Wilson, it is

surely prepared by that small minority to which Woodrow Wilson referred when he said: "There is disloyalty active in the United States and it must be absolutely crushed. It proceeds from a minority —a very small minority, but a very active ana subtle minority. It works underground, but it also shows its ugly head where we can see it and there are those who. at this moment are trying to levy a species of political blackmail, saying 'du whai we wish in the interest of foreign sentiment or we wreak vengeanit at the polls?' "That is the sort 8f thing against which the American nation will turn with a might and triumph of sentiment which will teach these gentlemen once for all that loyalty, to this-flag is the first test of tolerance in the United States."

Th«. democratic party at St. Louis also condemned all such combinations and conspiracies against the government.

The first of he treasonable circuiara of this band of disloyalists- was sent

fo

party leaders and delegates and alternates preceding the holding of the national conventions. Its influence was effective at Chicago in forcing, the nomination of Hughes and in adopting a pussy-footing Americanism plank in the platform. At St. Louis the same combination was even more insistent. Its consolation was a swift kick and vigorous denunciation in platform and speeches.

The literature of the disloyalists is the sort that will make good people think Seriously if they had intended to vote against the president, and it will especially force the. foreign born citizens, who is loyal to the. stars a'r\d stripes, these being.,.ninety-Jiine per rent of all foreign btrn citizens, to rally to the support of the president, thus repudiating the presumptuous handfull.

ARTISTIC MAZUiViA.

According to advance. notices about the new money, the. change will virtually mark the passing of Miss Williams, of Philadelphia) as a pocket companion of toterr? of American money. She was the model for the rather masculine profile on the dollar and smaller coins.

uncomfortable eagie, suspended in space, with arrows' in one claw, a twig in the other, and a motto in his beak, will be given an ettrnal rest. Neither the lady nor the bird will be missed.

The new idea in coinage is to do something artistic. Rigid conventionality has been discarded. The Lincoln cents, buffalo nickels, Indian chief $5 and $2.50 gold pieefs, Iniian princess eagles, and rising sun double eagles are examples of the new trend. The new silver coinage promises to be as striking as an of these and fully as interesting.

On the obverse of the nev* half dollar will appear a full Ic-ngth figure of liberty, outlined against an American flag. In her arms the goddess holds a bunch of laurel. She is gazing at the rising sun, which i? symbolical of American optimism and belief in the nation's future greatness. On the reverse, instead of the conventionalized fowl of the old coins there will be a life like eagle perched on a rock.

The quarter dollars and dimes will have equally attractive designs. In each case there is symbolism without articiflcality and clumsiness. The treasury department has given much time and effort to the preparation of the designs, and the advance notices lead to the belief that wise selections have been made.

It was' Mona who first noticed the girl—a wisp of a creature with a mass of dull gold hair, and large, frightened eyes Which stared out from a face that was almost child-like in its innocence. Just outside the swinging doors of The Frivolity—the riewest of the glittering The Dansants of Broadway—she was standing, her skirts clutched nervously in one small gloved hand, and her big, staring eyes never losing a chance Jto sweep the gay scene within, whenever the doors chanced to swing open.

Mona Burnett reached across the small table in the corner of the cafe, and, catching Mary Hartley's arm, directed the other's attention to the girl outside the swinging doors, who looked so strangely out of plaoe. Mary studied the furtively watching figure for a moment in silence.

into the big cafe. For a- moment she stood uncertainly, as though mustering all her resources fi-.r the ordeal ah-ad of her. Then with a long breath she crossed the room hurriedly, her little head held high, her eyes cold and hard. Now the watchers could see that she was dressed with a quiet elegance, tinting vividly of a comfortable income and luxurious home, *and that biere was the air of real breeding in every feature of her face. She had. seen the object of her search, and he -vas a man—a stockily built man of ro'ddle age, with a, florid face, and a carefully waxed mustache, who was acting as escort *to a young woman, v hese every feature, from her penciled eyebrows to her extremely cut gown, cried out her character.

The advancing girl reached the table, and paused, as his companion, sensing the situation, also looked Up. The three made a tableau, subcharged with emotion. It was the man who spoke first, but strive as they would, neither Mary nor Mona was able to hear the words that fell from his lips. But they saw the girl's face

The next instant, a waiter, beckoned at a sudden gesture from the .floridfaced man, glided to the scene, and took the girl's arm. "The brute! The big, bulking, redfaced brute!" gasped Mona, "He is ordering that poor little thing ejected!"

It was true. The thing was done discreetly and with dispatch. Mona tossed a bill on the table, and rose quickly. "I am going to follow her! Hurry, Mary! We'll be able to catch her at the street!"

The two girls reached the marble hall outside just in timfe to see the diminutive figure ahead clutch for an instant at the street door, and then step out onto the crowded walk. They caught her at the corner. "Tou poor dear!" said Mona in a low, soothing voice, as she took her hold of the other's arm. "We saw \Vhat happened at the cafe, and we followed you on purpose. Won't you tell us all about it?"

The three turned into a quiet tea room on a cross street, where Mary selected a retired table in the rear.
