Would be the case were the cight-mtle-per-hour speed

adoption of any arbitrary speed limit la Ihe proper so-
lution of the problem of the n.kless driver. In the
bauds of soms men a ear traveling eight miles par hour
is a menape to the safety of pedestrians and other users
of the road while a competent and careful driver might
take the same car over the road at three limns the speed
without danger or in. on ventanea to others. Again there
are places In Incorporated cities where the speed limit
ahould be less than eight miles per hour and there are
places where the speed may be much greater with safety.
The speed limit In towns. It Would seem is a matter

The conclusion of the Mealcsn-Amertesn mediation
confer JOB. marking as M oVtes the complete triumph of
Csrrdasa dlhlomory Is Just a little sddttlnnsl proof of
the inability of the United Ptatee to cope with the Mexl
cans In the game of talk Americana may be Ihe sups
ror of tho Mexicans In Industry and commerce. We
may be able to outdo them In a business deal and. if
given a chance we possibly oould give them points on
ihs battlefield bnt at talkers the Mexicans have us
beaten so badly that we are not even In their class
When the conference was called at New Ixndon Cona
announcement was made that Its purpoae was to settle
Ihe differences existing between the United States and
Mexico. One of the points of difference in fact the main
point was the prose ate of the United States troops In
Mexico and their right to bo there. The administration
if Washington had long since become convinced that the
soldiers of UenersI Pershing's expedition Were serving
no useful purpose bift It was recognised that they could
not be withdrawn at the demand of Carranca without
the loss of American prestige The thing to do and the
thing to which the American commissioners bent their
best effort. was to force from the Mexicans some ad-
mission of the right of Ihe American expedition to cross
the line some recognition of tbe legality of the move-
ment. The effort failed.
Carranca with a steadfastness worthy of a better
cause stood by his guns. "Oet out and get out now"
he said and he stuck to It. Days of talk and reams of
argument failed to sway him from his position. It was
Intimated to him that the United States was willing to
withdraw the expedition upon any terms that would save
the face of the government but that the forces would
remain until these terms were agreed upon.
A protocol wss drawn up and. after much argument
snd not a little fireworks the document was signed by
the Mexican as well as the American commissioners and
ssnt to the first chief at Qusretaro. It was given out
that Carranxa would be expected to sign It at once the
alternative being the breaking off of diplomatic relatlona
t'arransa didn't sign It at once. He waited until the
time limit had expired and then sent It back without
signature explaining In not too polite terms that he
would sign nothing nor would he make any agreement
with the United States ao long as American troops re
nialnd on the sacred soil of Mexico. Relations were not
even strained much less severed for Carranca suggested
that we talk some more.
The next move is up to President Wilson. The Ameri-
can member of fhe mediation commission have recom-
mended that General Pershing's expedition be recalled.
Nat ti rally the commissioners had advance assurance that
such a recommendation would be welcomed at the White
Mouse. It therefore11 asems likely that within the next
few days order for the recall of the expedition will be
Issusd. and the sorry faros ended.
The expedition should have been recalled last June
when as suluicquant events have proven the administra-
tion abandonsd Its purpose of "getting Villa dead or
alive." Early In June General Jaolnto B. Trevlno at
Chihuahua Issued orders that the American troops must
move neither to the east to the west or to tbe south.
Soms of them possibly to test the force of the order
moved to the east and on June 20. at Can-leal were
treacherously shot down by Mexicans armed with a ma
chine gun. Since that sorry day upon orders from
Washington General Pershing and his men have marked
time In Mexico. They have been uselessly exposed to
the desert heat the wintry winds the fierce standstorms
and all the other evils of a bleak and desolate country
apparently only waiting the day when Carranca would
recognise the legality of their presence In order that the
administration might Issue the withdrawal order with-
out luss of dignity or prestige.
Carranxa refused to recognize the legality of their
presence and the administration whether wisely or un-
wisely only the future can tell has apparently decided
to bow to the will of the stubborn first chief and get
out unconditionally and at once.

The Mortifying Mexican Complication.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.)
The Army and Navy Journal which may be almost re-
garded aa the mouthpiece of the soldiers and sailors of
this country In the course of a vigorous article demand-
ing the return of the Pershing expedition from Mexico
says that the condition In which ws now find ourselves
In this Mexican business furnishes the most mortifying
International complication In the history of the L'nltod
States.
That is a pretty broad statement but It Is made by a
publication which Is In the habit of measuring Its words.
And ths saddest part of the statement is In its unanswer-
able truthfulness. We have bungled so terribly and
failed so utterly In our Mexican meddling that It is a
humiliation to have to dismiss It at all. But the Sstrich-
llks polloy of refusing to look the facts in ths face is not
going to hslp anyone and the sooner we get down to
oa rocs tne oetier it wilt be tor the nation and for the
Ameriuan people. Can we turn over a fresh lesf and
take a new etart. or muet we go on forever committing
additional blunders in a rutile attempt to cover up those
which have already been committed?
That is the question with which ws are confronted and
that Is ths qusstion that will not down.
President Wilson made his Initial blunder when he as-
ssrled tbal Mexico had tbe right of self-government and
even to revolution and then In the earns breath started
on bis policy of eliminating Huerta and of meddling
with the Internal affaire of that unhappy oountry For
we have been meddling and no amount of sophistry or
of flue-spun explanations will alter that fact tine
blunder followed another until we flnall aent General
Pershing snd his expedition to get Villa "dead or alive "
We haven't got Villa dead or alive or la any other con-
dition. And the fault Is not with the espedltlou it
was sent there to punUh Villa but as a mattsr of fact
It Is ths officers and soldiers of ths expedition who ere
being punished They have had nine months of Inaction
and It id grossly unfair to the soldinrs to keep them
there lir a humiliating condition of do-nothing ism.
But what shsll we do If they are brought hooter The
Army and Navy Journal answers that question In these
word.
We should relurs to ths principle established by
President Urent and continued by President Hayes
of allowing the radular army id manage the patrol
of the Moxioao border as soldlsrs would do it aod
not oocordlug to civilian ideate which are as un-
stable aa water if our government had deohled
that ths principie of border control laid down by
those two soldlei -presídeme was to bs our absolute
guide In this whole matter and had maintained
