What Next?
Politics Sidetracked
Hunting The Blue Tiger
Spring Fever
Short Snatches From Everywhere.
If as now appears Villa has slipped away into the
interior the chase enters upon its second phase. An
alternative is presented to the United States govern-
ment two possible courses of action are open. First
the chase may be continued further and further south
with an ever lengthening line of communications and
an ever increasing force of pursuers and guards; this
first plan is the one that approves itself to most of
those who desire to see the chase succeed and who
desire at the same time to avoid if possible a general
armed intervention in Mexico with a view to straighten-
ing the whole tangle out. This plan might involve the
use of an immense volunteer army and it might mean
penetrating 1000 miles or more into the country and
spreading out over a large part of Mexican territory.
Yet the movement would be entirely a peaceable one so
far as American intentions were concerned and the
American forces would neither engage in hostile acts
nor harm the country or its people in any way nor
interfere with Mexico's domestic affairs. Its success
would inquire unwavering and most liberal support
from Washington.
If the Washington government docs not desire to
carry on the chase to its logical end (and there is much
tear that the administration will not remain firm)
then there is an alternative which has some merit
in itself though less than the plan first suggested. This
alternative is for the American troops to occupy a
part of northern Mexico all the border ports and pos-
sibly the seaports also Kand simply announce that they
will wait there paying their way keeping to them-
selves and interfering with nobody until Villa is caught
and executed by the de facto government; and that
if American persons or property be attacked the whole
country will be held responsible.
If Villa has really escaped from the vicinity where
the American troops have been working it proves con-
clusively that the Carrancistas have been making no
real effort to stop him or catch him or else that the
Carrancista influence in the region is nil. j
The thing most to be feared just now is that the
Washington government will not stand firm and will
withdraw the forces on some cheap pretence with their
work not finished.
With the national conventions only two months off
it is amazing that so little interest is taken in the pre-
liminaries by the country at large. The press scarcely
mentions national politics. There is no earnest or
even intelligent discussion of measures programs and
men. Such suggestions as are put forward are shot
wildly into space. The rank and file of the nation
seem to be thinking of anything but national politics.
In other presidential years a long period preceding
the national conventions has been devoted largely
to hot political discussion. Suggested candidates have
been weighed and boomed and damned policies and
platforms have been thrashed out in advance party
managers local state and national have issued count-
less manifestos and shouted for party harmony and
bloody combat the great figures in history have been
dragged out for use as authorities for every ism in
the catalog the eagle has been pinched to make him
scream patriotism has been confounded with the itch
for office and there has been a general circus of a
time.
This year what's the matter? Even in the old hot-
beds of political machination and intrigue people seem
half hearted. The papers do not indicate that national
and state politics is important to the average reader.
The movies markets fashions personal gossip all
these interests are about normal. But politics is dead.
One thing is that the renomination of president
Wilson is already settled. That eliminates all contest
from the Democratic party. But the situation in
the Republican and Pogresslve parties is as interesting
as anything the country ever saw. If the two parties
loin forces the defeat of Wilson is possible. If they
remain apart Wilson will be reelected. But even if
the two opposition parties join they cannot win the
election unless they nominate a big man as the candi-
date of the reunited "party. This is what ought to
make the present situation interesting but semingly no-
body cares much what happens in June or November.

At the movies a night or two ago there were in the
cast 12 men one woman and a little bulldog. The dog
was the only gentleman in the play and by far the
best actor. He was worth a film all by himself.
While the bulk of the world is thinking of war or
taxes or charity relief or -'ox trotting or Easter hats
Roy Chapman Andrews and his wife are sailing across
the Pacific on a keen hunt for blue tigers.
The rest of the world would not worry much over
a blue tiger never before heard of one doesn't believe
there is any such thing is perfectly satisfied with the
black and yellow striped variety and very skeptical
anyway as to the scientific idea of "blue." The alleged
blue fox is disappointingly gray so probably a blue
tiger is not at all what one would ordinarily call blue.
However a small part of the scientific world is
greatly interested in the blue tiger. He has never
been shot or caught but he has been seen and testified
to by a number of scientists explorers and hunters.
So Mr. and Mrs. Andrews are off on the hunt for
the benefit of the New York museum. They will have
a big party of hunters scientists guides and porters
and will go through China and into Thibet where the
beast roams.
For the sake of the possibility of introducing the
blue tiger dead or alive to the United States these
people will forsake war news politics the new styles
in shoes and the rest of civilization for a year; the

Spring fever is only wanderlust the old gypsy blood
in us stirring and making the tread and dust of city
streets hateful as compared to the free road the wind-
ing road away and away into the unknown in search
of adventure; making a roof and four walls a prison
when the air is soft and fragrant outside the skies
high and clear and a pine tree swaying and sighing
above a soft and springy bed of needles the only bed
room dining room and guest room that is acceptable.
Spring fever is only all the healthy red vigorous
blood that has been in the line for genrations and
generations wanting to get out into the sun and under
the open sky.
Around El Paso n automobile distance there are
lots of places where people can go and enjoy hours or
days of free outdoors. There is quite an art in prepara-
tion. It is important to take enough food and not
too much enough water and not too much enough
bedding and not too much. It is important to take
all necessary tools and things that may come in handy.
But most important of all to enjoy the outofdoors one
must be willing to forget business and everything else
and free his mind from worry. It pays to take these
little trips if only for a day at a time.

Britain with 60 times the area of Germany talks

are needed in El Paso even in disturbed times.
