So it happens that down in
Mexico federala, Zapatistas,
constitutionalists and simple
bandits have looted, shot, cut,
burned and raped Americans,
with only scoffing laughter or
grinning mock courtesy as re-
ply to Washingtons pettish
wail “On, very well some time
some how. somebody will have
to pay some money for that.''
And so it happens that only
at the last, in the frenzy of
victory and untrammeled and
unquestioned power, arrogant

ment which stands in that
sense sponsor for him, does
Villa dare shoot an English
man-and the diplomatic world
is turned upside down in busy

Since the introduction of
thoroughgoing, com puls o r y
vaccination in Germany* in
1675 smallpox has been almost
a curiosity in the empire. The
Berlin hospitals are put to it to
produce cases from which
medical students may famili-
arize themselves with die
disease, japan, which ia quick
to seize and profit from ad-
vances made by modem
science, recently has spent a
large sum from the national
treasury to vaccinate the peo-
ple of Korea.
It is curious that the people
of the United States permit the
existence of preventable die-
at home, which they do
not permit in the Outside ter-
they govern. The
board of health of Kanaaa City
Cor instance, is now appealing
to people to be vaccinated in
order to protect the city from a
possible epidemic.
