WHY THEY HESITATE.
The reluctance with which Greece
onr T?niimnr.in Sire takiner the bait
offered by the entente allies or the
central powers, for that matter, is
not unnatural when one realizes that
for either of these little "countries to
enter on the losing side would be tan
tamount to losing its independence.
We may scoff at Bulgaria, if we will,
but that country had to enter the war
on the side it thought would win,
and if the central powers begin wav
ering, Bulgaria might find it exped
ient to get on the other side.
With these smaller countries, all
of whom are seeking to expand, it is
a case of national life. Greece may
well pause. Roumania. despite tele
graphic reports of her wavering, also
might well look long before leaping.
Turkey and " Bulgaria and Austria
would like very ..much to have some
sP.iKer.iterrlt6y5tind If she gets on.
And' nobody knows this better than
the ministers of these little powers.
Venizelos, the former Greek premier,
still is confident the allies will win,
but the indications are not strong en
ough to convince his colleagues. They
have seen Russia hurled back, they
have observed the ill-fated military
attack on the Dardanelles, they" have
watched the movements in France and
they have observed the rapid inva
sion of Serbia. Though Germany has
not gained a net foot in France since
April, as Asquith told the house of
commons yesterday, and though Great
Britain has 1,000,000 men on the west
ern front, there has not been enough
action to convince the Greek and "Rou
manian people that their countries
would not be overrun if they enter
ed the war.
From a military standpoint Rou
mania would be worth more to the al
lies than all the Balkan states com
bined, including Greece and Serbia.
The Roumanians are well prepared
and have an army of .500,000 men that
would be able to get in the rear of
the Bulgars and change the entire
plan of campaign in the Balkans.
Roumania's participation would de
cide the war. And reports of mobi
lization emanating from Vienna and
other sources might indicate that the
Roumanian ministers have decided
that after all, the allies will win.
READING THE RETURNS
Although local and state issues fig
ured largely in the elections in ten
states yesterday, the results were con
clusive enough to permit the average
man to draw conclusions from them.
Woman suffrage was defeated in New
York by more than 100,000 votes, with
an even greater defeat for this is
sue in Massachusetts and Pennsyl
vania. But the showing made for suff
rage in these states was good enough!
to inspire the advocates of the cause
to continue the fight.
There is some significance in the
defeat of the new constitution in New
York state, espoused by Elihu Root
The Republicans secured control of
the assembly and elected three con
gressmen to fill vacancies. The tri
umph of the Republicans about off
sets the defeat of the proposed consti
tution, but the result does not place
Mr. Root in a commanding position
for the Republican nomination for
president.
Republicans elected their candidate
for governor in Massachusetts and
early reports indicated that Kentucky
was close. In New Jersey the Repub
licans were claiming the governor
ship.
At this distance it is apparent that
the Republicans made inroads on the
Democrats or else strengthened their
hold on the electorate. The Progres
sive vote was negligible, which shows
that the two big parties will have the
contest in 1916 to themselves.
While the leaders of either party
could be expected to crow over a "vie
tory," and while the Republicans un
doubtedly will take courage from the
results yesterday, there still remains
plenty of time for the Democrats to
mend their fences and enter the 191G
campaign as favorites. But the re
sult cannot look good to the Demo
crats at this time.
There will be a great deal of inter
est in President Wilson's speech be

KEEP THEM OFF
We thought it was understood that
the United States troops and machine
guns were not gathered in the city
of Douglas, Ariz., for the purpose of
making a show. In fact, it was as
serted in Washington Monday night
that the war department had issued
orders for the American forces to re
turn the fire in the event the Mexican
factions shot across the border.
Yet the Mexicans did shoot across
the border, some of them deliberately
peppering the United States customs
house Monday and yesterday. That
was not so bad, but for this govern
ment to permit the Villa bandits to
make the day and night hideous for
American women and children and
then to take a few potshots at the
American flag is a little too much.
The Mexicans won't bluff. We've
tried that for several years, but if
we try a few doses of grape and
canister on them, they will keep their
distance. The government ought not
to pretend to do one thing and then
do another.
We have the least respect for the
average Mexican of any varmint in
the world, and Villa and Carranza
and the whole bunch should be made
to stay on their side of the border.
The hoof and mouth disease has
again occurred in northern Illinois,
according to a bulletin issued by the
United States department of agricul
ture, and it appears that the disease
has been traced to an anti-hog chol
era serum prepared from the blood
of hogs infected with foot and mouth
disease, but showing the serum was
made at the time no symptoms of the
contagion. It required 62 tests before
the bacteriologists were able to pro
duce any symptoms of the foot and
mouth disease. The point in this of
course is that serum should not be
made from the blood of animals that
have ever had the disease.
Herman Ridder, who died in New
York Monday, began earning his liv
ing when he was eleven years old, and
was so successful in all his enter
prises that he was mentioned for vice
president on the Democraticticket in
19Q8. r. The latter part of, -Mr. Bid-

PRESS COMMENT
Three Centuries Behind.
Springfield Republican.
The civilization of a country is to
be judged not by its military law,
which is a blanket covering almost
every thin'- but by the way that lav
is enforced. Technically war pro
gresses; morally it is atavistic, and
no nation can without shocking and
angering the world do all that it is
ontitled to do under letter of mil
iary law. It is three centuries since
England stopped killing women for
the offense of which Edith Cavell was
guilty. Is that a measure of the de
cree to which German militarism is
mt of touch with the progress of the
civilized world ?
A British View.
Columbia State.
It is but natural and to be expect
3d that the British public should re
ceive with pleasure rumors of tenta
tive peace proposals by the Teutonic
alliance. The people's patience and
and courage have been sorely tried in
the past fifteen months, as German
preparation and strategy have demon

little northern isles to fling dominion

this neutral observers have agreed
must militate in favor of the entente

Perhaps a fair exemplification o
the British view is given
by Lord
Sydenham in a interview in the Pall
