CAPITAL BOY WRITES
OF MEXICAN REVOLUTION

According to a letter received here
yesterday from Elmer T. Bell. secre-
tary to the subcommittee OF the Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Affairs. now
investigating the situation along the
Mexican boundary, the Mexican revolu-
tionists have degenerated into mere
brigands and are pillaging the country
for all the plunder they can lay their
hands upon.
He states that no active attempt Is
being made by Orozco to overturn Ma
dero. The rebel general. he declares.
is giving his men full license to plum
der burn. and kill where they wish.
He states that many refugees have
given very touching testimony before
the committee. Americans have told
how their wives and children were kill
ed and tortured at the hands of the
half civilized rebels. The revolution. he
declares is much more serious than the
average person thinks 1t is.
