THE MEX|CANS ARE
DRAWING TOGETHER
Ambassador De La Barra Writes
Article On Situation.
IN THE NAME OF PATRIOTISM
lnsurrecto Leaders Consider It An In
vitation to Patch Up Differ
ences-Our Troops to
Border Helped.

New York, Mar. 15.-Before Senior
De La Barra, the Mexican ambassa'
dor, departed for Washington, he gave
out here the proofs of an article which
will appear tomorrow in the lndepen.
dent, on the situation in Mexico
urging all his countrymen, regardless
Of all divisions of party, all differ
ences between men" to recall the "sa-
cred interests of our country" and TO
work together for the progress OF true
democracy and the best improvement
of the m~otherland."
The ambassador wrote this appeal
after his conference with Senior Ii.
mantour, the Mexican minister of fl
nance, and he considered it so impor.
tant that at the very last moment he
had it printed.
An Invitation.
Insurrecto leaders to whom the par
agraph "a shown said they consid.
cred it an invitation to come into
camp, and its issuance makes more
noticeable a trend of events that has
been discoyerable for the last three
days.
After the first shock of surprise in
the United States and of alarm ano
distrust in Mexico caused by the dis
patch of 20, 1000 American troops to th,
frontier, there began on the one side
a series OF formal diplomatic ey
changes between the two powers and
on the other a series Of carefully
weighed interviews and authorized
publications in the daily press. I'm
derneath this current ran a deeper tide
OF sympathy between countrym ea
who might be at odds but were stLI
countrymen.
Intervention Means War.
Intervention ear war" said Sc.
nor Limantour in SO many words.
"I%nteryention?" answered DR.. f
Vasquez Gomez, the insurrecto agent
at Washington who has been here for
the last three days. The moment
there is Intervention there will cease
to be an instruction. Both sides will
make common cause against a com
mon enemy"
In short, it became plain that two
streams of tendency were flowing to a
junction. On one side there was a
disposition on the part of the insur.
rectos to open negotiations with The
representatives of the Mexican admin.
istration here; on the other there was
a growing understanding between the
Mexican government and the United
States. Virtually Senior Limantour is
willing to have it understood that If
the United States will take care of
smuggling, his government will take
care of the instruction.

Deaths by accident were many in
the State of Oregon last week. No
less than half dozen fatalities were
reported from automobile accidents.
The drivers Of machines should not
only be careful while on the road. but
the mechanism of the cars should be
thoroughly overhauled frequently in
order to prevent such appalling catas-
trophies as that which occurred near
Oregon City last week, when two of
the prominent farmers of that section
met death because of the steering gear
going wrong.
