OF HORRORS IN MEXICO

Item says:
Mrs. Bernard Sweyer, for three years
a resident of Chihuahua, has reached
this city after making her escape from
Mexico. She said that the American
newspapers have not told half the truth
of conditions in that country Accord
ing to this woman, conditions are even
worse than during the last revolution
The many insults that the American
women are subjected to and the danger
that surrounds the many American
women and men is enough to cause the
United States to send relief to them. I
have witnessed scenes that were simply
awful said this woman. Mrs. Sweyer
said that the conditions to which Amer
lean women are subjected to would
make any white person revengeful. In
the big towns she said, the conditions
are not so bad, but in the outlying
country, where the mining is going on,
IN which many Americans are employed,
the greatest suffering and danger ex-
