The enemy was prepared for the con- flict and for a time had the best of it. The reports of the last fewl days give a gleam of hope to the Bntente Allies and the tide seems’ to have turned. There is no dOUOt! as to the final result of the greatl issue, out the enemy is still. pow-i erful and at present no one can? predict when the end will come i With the Allies making gains on‘! the West, the Russians advancing; on the East, the Italians morei than holding their own in the? South and a bottled fleet in the? North, it is hard to see how the' war can be long continued. it is hardly probable it Will end this year, but 1917 Will likely bring- peace, and after that all who live to see it will face a new condition of thingsâ€"but What will it be? Are conditions in the Allied coun- tries to be better or worse than before the war? Many look for improvement: all hope for im- provement, but there’s an ele- ment of doubt, and it can’t ‘ be otherwise. The belligerents will all suffer financially. and the hone of world conquest, so fondly cher- ished by the enemy, will be set back a century, or, perhaps, for all time. Their plans were well laid, but their plans miscarried. and they long since realized the blunder. A repetition of the strug- gle will not come till Germany deâ€" velops a new crop of dreamers. We’ll never see another such an effort. LEE BURHAM CHROME WHEN WILL THE WAR END ? Since the spring of last year we have heard much and often of a “his: drive” to be made by Britain and her allies along the western: battle line. Things have been go-f irg our way for the past few days' but whether or not the big drivel. has actually come we are unaole to say. For four months the Gerâ€" mans have been hammering away at Verdun, but the gains for the enemy were exceedingly small compared with the enormous cost of human life and the loss to Germany in killed and wounded during the prolonged struggle. That the Germans were gaining- ground slowly at this point is ad- mitted by all. The recent efforts by the French and British at other W IRWIN, Editor and “Proprietor points along the Western battle line may be the initial move in the long-expected drive, or it may simply be an effort to draw aWav a portion of the attacking forces at Verdun. Whatever the object may have been it has certainly been a success, and long lines of the enemy have been forced from the trenches, Where they lay in security for so long. Concurrently with the success on the western fron,t the Russmns' on the east have been pushing on. With increased Vigor. The Allied- ? irces have been slow in making a' rut. particulaer so to the irâ€"E zcsiwcmsible and in. ctive arm chair critics. who have condemned them for their tardiness. Whatever the. criticism from the outside. will me? i 7 .9, Zikely the final drive will he made till the united forzes are thoroughly equipped, and good and readv for the task to be a:- zomplished. It isn’t necessary, ap- mrently, nor vet is it Wise, to go unprepared in men or munitions against an unscrupulous enemy that spent a lifetime in putting themselves in readiness. ‘Vh-it- ever the present move may mean, it has doubtless been well consid- ered before it was undertaken. It may not be the big drive, but the tide seems to have turned. PAGE FOUR. DURHAM, JULY 5, 1916 When this issue of ‘The Outlook’ reaches its readers, there may be' a War between the United States, and Mexico. There is no goodf reason Why there should be war. 3 Americans have no wish ori Mexican territory, no ambition to govern the Mexican people, no zeal to impose American civiliza- tion upon them, no Wish to solve ican peOple, the great body of Nikon: are peaceable, law-abiding and measurably industrious. one wish is to be their friends. than Americans. Americans have saved their lives by flight; Mexi- cans cannot save their lives by. flight. lLOâ€"Al RCURAIV'IME 1:8 Mexicans have been greater than to Americans. To call the biggest of these mobs a “de facto” government is preposterous. Mr. Lansing in his note rightly says: “The first duty of any government is the protec- tion of life and property. This is the paramount obligation [or which governments are instituted° and governments neglecting or failing to perform it are not wor- thy of the name.” At no time has the Carranza so-called government performed this duty; at no time has it been a “de facto” gov- ernment. It has only been the larger, more powerful, and better organized of the mobs which have devastated the country. That this is the case Mr. Lansing’s note makes very clear: it is outlined on another page and from it we quote as follows: “For three years the Mexman Republic has been torn with civil strife: the lives of Americans and other aliens have been sacrificed: vast prOperties developed by Am- erican capital and enterprise have been destroyed or rendered non- productive: bandits have been permitted to roam at Will through the territory contiguous to the United States, and to seize, With- out punishment, the property of Americans, While the lives of citi- _zens of the United States who ventured to remain in Memtan territory or to return there to ”protect their interests have been taken, in some cases barbarously taken, and the murderers have ' neither been apprehended nor ' . brought _to justice? To declare in the same paper that a politico-militarv organiza- tion which fails to protect . life and prOperty is not worthy to be called a goveghment, and. that [I‘HUIULIULJ 11.1 uuuuuuu This curious confusion of mind has vitiated all our dealings with Mexico. ’We have dignified anar- chy by entitling it revolution. The population of Mexico is estimated at fifteen millions; the armed ban- ditti who have been plundering those people are roughly estimatâ€" ed at 200,000. We have affirmed their right to ravage their peace- ful fellow-:itizens by comparing their acts with those of an order- ed revolution aimed to secure the liberty and happiness of the “llLl 4.....- ‘1 people. We Vera Cruz to compel . the flag, and when the salute was refused we sailed away again. We have alternately put an embargo on the munitions of war and lifted it. and have now announced that we have put it on once more. Af- firming that the first duty of a government is the protection of life and prOperty. we have refused to protect the life and property of Americans pursuing lawful and peaceful vocations 1n Mex1co. If a raiding party'from Canada had shot up a New England town, we sue them. If a raiding 'a wild Indian tribe on one of reservations had shot up a west- we should not have call- ern town, . :ed upon the chief of the tribe to arrest t e marauders, we should them at 'the same moment .marauders and called on Carranza ‘to pursue them.

The process will be slow. yet more rapid, perhaps, than we think. In less than a week after our occupation of Vera Cruz snip- ing ceased, and presently anti- ,American prejudice had begun to disappear and American protection and American purses to be wel- pOpulation. Such a campaign of friendship 'would have been attended with little danger and no great -. diffi- iculty three years ago. It will be attended with greater difficulties ;and greater danger now.
