be civil war? That is the ques-

cause thousands of volunteer troops
a-e . rmed and are drilling caiiy

Eun if these embattled thousands

Thinlw Mar Possible bnt Improbable.
On this showing it would seem that
war is Inevitable. And yet. the most
ardent 1 monist breathing the most
f- roc lous threats doesn't quite believe
it will come to war The reason is
this
In considering British politics the
golden rule" is to take both sides of
the controersy and dilute in 10 times
the quantity of the spirit of compro-
mise On the surface one would think to
read their newspapers and hear their
speeches that war could not be avoid-
ed bi anything less than Divine inter-
ei ion But nothing is ever what it
stems in England not even the king.
The hop of compromise on Irish
Horn i.ule' is not so much based on
n evidence of a desire to 'give and
tiki- on either side but rather on.

Euise
Not that ever bodj will be pleased.
(r anybodv for that matter Indeed
it has been said that the typical Brit-
ish compromise is arranged on the
basis of finding something that nobody
is for so that everybody will be satis-
t ed
Here again things are not what they
pi em for this time the Irish the Na-
tionalists on one side and the Ulster-
itts on the other) are a part of the
equation The Irish character differs
from the British in many ways and
one of them is that your Irishman pre-
gers a fight to a compromise even
when he isn't particularly interested.
So. ou see. It la a dreadful muddle.
But that isn't half The real "scrap"
over here has nothing to do with Ire-
land and Home Rule except in an Inci-
dental way The real big fight Is
about a much more fundamental thing
than whether Ireland shall have laws
stamped ' Made in Dublin" or whether
it snail continue to import Its statutes
from A estminster.
The Real Row.
The real row in Britain is between
the aristocracy and the democracy It
is ill about whether this government
shall continue to be run and managed
i the classes or whether the masses
shall take it over The war is on

hpule in which ballots and not bullets
vi ill ttle the thing or it may take
advantage of some superficial aspect
o" the real question such as the dis-
affection in Ulster and blaze forth in
fire and blood.
But f one thing you may be sure
i ill deadly in Its seriousness. There
s none of the opera bouffe about It.
It is not bv any means a mere puppet

p themselves prominent in he
tt ind s eve of the public People may
d wild and absurd things things
tiit provoke the calm stranger to
m r'h but it is all in deadly earnest.
Battle Is a Century Old.
For more than a century Ireland has
sought a. return to "Home Rule." the
i cestablishment of that Dublin parlia-
ment that was extinguished by fraud
and corruption at the beginning of the
nineteenth century. For 40 years that
struggle has been constantly pressed
forward. Nearly 30 years ago in 1886
Gladstone espoused the Irish cause and
brought In the first Home Rule bill.
It split th Liberal party for the time
being wrecked Gladstone himself and
availed Ireland nothing Twenty-one
years ago. In ISM Gladstone again In
power. Introduced and this time passed
a. 'Home Rule" bill only to see It
buried in the house of lords that
splendid mausoleum of Liberal legls-
atlon. fame then 10 years of Conservative
-ale and another Liberal regime which
undertook "Home Rule" but so very
slowly The house of lords was the
lion In the path.
Finally partly because of the stu-
plditv of the lion a way was found to
jret around the house of lords. That
'vyporronity was seized upon. That is

or nearly three centuries the house

plans for participation by the United
States in the Mexican mediation confer-
ence to begin next Monday at Niagara
Falls Ontario and vorious problems
which have arisen since the ocvpatlom

forces.
Just before the cabinet meeting a
message was received from Gen. Fnn-
stoc. at Veracrux. in which the Ameri-
can commander declared no attention
should be paid to alarmist reports that
Mexican federals were threatening to
attack the vexajcrux water woasja. uen.
of mo8eujeiita of federal
such attacks.
"Mexicans Can't Take Waterworks.
"There have been rumors the mes-
sage read "that an attack was threat-
ened. These have been due to remarks
attributed to Gen. Maas. The water-
works cannot be taken from us b
force If the pipe line should -e cut it
could be repaired in a few hours."
Gen Funston added that 200 sacks
of American mail lestined for Mexico
City and delivered at the break in the
railroad still lay on the tracks in pos
session of the Mexican outpost. He had
no news of private Parks who rode into
the Mexican lines and has not returned.
South American Snlpers" Problem.
Among issues the president and tbe
cabinet had under consideration was
the appeal from the Brazilian minister
at Mexico City to Gen Funston on be-
half of five South Americans now un-
der arrest at Veracruz for "sniping"
American soldiers from a tramp steam-
er Three Brazilians are among the
prisoners and the apoeal. coming from
a diplomatic representative of one of
the mediating nations has presented a
delicate problem for decision. The man-
ning by American forces of the light-
house on Lobos Island off Tampieo
which Huerta' s foreign minister has
protested Is a violation of the armistice
also wsJb taken up in the cabinet meet-
ing Consul W K. Alger from Maxatlan
reported to the state department today
for instructions. He stated that be-
tween 15 M0 and 16 90 rebels were In
the vicinity of Maxatlan when he left.
At that time they were projecting
troops on the firing line in alternating
thousands in the hope of wearing out
the federals.

ment has ordered the immediate release

The minister added that as soon as
Mr Silliman reached Mexico City he
would obtain for him safe conduct to
Veracrux.
Silliman had been reported released
several davs ago. but this was later
found untrue He is reported held in

AMERICAN LIVES
TO PAY PENALTY

of three to one for his own losses In
revenge for the action of the big north-
ern Chihuahua cattle companies owned
by Americans which hud demanded pro-
