women are proverbially imper i .is

respect for the judgment of certain
Innes of their number. lt may bc
that the women were more stubborn

ONE FROM CANADA TO PANAMA.
London Spectator Declares Wilson's
Mexican Policy a Mistake.
The London Spectator declares
I thal the pressure of public opinion
in all the rest of the world soon will
lone- the United States to intervene
In Mexico. The article declares
President Wilson made a mistake in
. < ; is ut, .. ti.a, sident lt u' i '
would i*? the strongest force | itl
.'*J ?. oi ,. .... If
j co, an : In supporting him acdnrd
. .,..v iv JL?d? -Lal it -.ldc.
stands perfectly the reasons why Mr.
Wilson did not adopt this course.
"Instead," the article says, "he
did what, with all respect, we must
say was the worst thing he could
have done. He intervened and pre
tended liol to be intervening; he
deprecated bloodshed and anarchy,
and yet ho would neither step In
himself nor let any one cd.se do so."
The Spectator declares joint ac
tion by other powers with the Uni
ted Stales in Mexico is impossible,
and thal the United States will have
to act alone or sacrifice the Monroe?
doctrine. The article says it would
prove rather an easy conquest for the
United states, but that conquest
would he succeeded by a demand for
national independence, accompanied
by rebellion. The rebellion also
would be suppressed, but it would be
followed by annexation to the Uni
ted States of the .Northern States of
Mexico and the independence of the
remainder of the country under ti
M eaty by which I ho Washington gov
ernment would control Mexico's for
eign relations. The Spectator thinks
even this condition would not last
long, and predicts that within 50
years one nation of 200,000,000 Eng
lish-speaking people will extend
from the Canadian border to the
Panama Canal, with the exception of
British Honduras.
In conclusion, the article says: "In
spite of foolish American talk about
English jealousy and so forth talk
so idiotic that one really cannot he
expected to deny lt-the bulk of
public opinion here will be heartily
with the United States in the work of
restoring order In Mexico. * * * If
they do their job well on the spot the
English people will not merely be
friendly in a diplomatic sense, bul
sincerely sympath* tic. They will he
