meeting, to save the speakers voice
from strain, etc. The Auditorium
management has offered the use of
the spacious building free of charge,

Lyon and the other Roosevelt sup

lowing sta'ement regarding the situa-
tion in Mexico
The condition of things in Mexico
is improving. The recent defeats of
rebels in the north and anticipated de-
feats of rebels TO come have contribu-
ted much to the strength of the gov
ernments position.
THE downfall of the organized revo-
lutionary movement seems imminent
but brigandage on a large scale still
exists throughout a large part of the
republic.
CRISIS DUE IN THE SOUTH.
1T is to be hoped that after the gov
ernment has successfully dealt with
the revolutionary situation in the north
it will have a sufficiently large number
of troops to restore peace and order in
the southern and southwestern states.
"The government is showing com
mendable energy in organizing and
equippng an army, and if this course
is pursued persistenly and intelligent
ly it may be anticipated that the gov
ernment will gradually but surely OBJ
tain control of the situation.
americans have already begun 10
return to Mexico. About $4,000 of them
had left, but they are coming back
now. especially to the capital and the
large cities.
"Of course. the economic situation
of the country is not what might be de
sired, but it is hoped that with the
restoration of peace, commerce and
trade will reap corresponding bene
fits"
