NERICANS IN
MEXICO APPEAL
To WASHINGTON
Three Hundred in Danger at Ia
mauIipas Put Question of Pro-
lection Up to Wilson.

TANPICO. MEXICO, June l.
Three hundred Americans located in
Southern Tamaulipas, representing IS
families. have demanded in a long
message to President Wilson, sent
through Consul Miller here, to know,
"once for all" whether they can ex-
meet protection from their home Gov
eminent, since they do not desire
Ia take measures for our own safety
which would embarrass our Govern
ment without giving due notice before
hand
The message of the Americans was
transmitted by wireless through Con-
sui Miller to W. W. Canada, the
American Consul at Vera Cruz, to be
forwarded to Washington. 1t says,
in part:
lection whatever on the part of both
sides in the pending controversy,
therefore we can look for protection
only from our own country. We must
know once for all. if we can expect
same Having been sub jected to Sights
and a great variety of indignities and
gross abuse during the last few days,
the situation calls for most serious
preparations for our personal safety
and the defense Of our families and
our interests. Therefore, we have as
sembled for the purpose of consider
ing the best way. We consider pro-
lection necessary now, since aft
er death it will be of no utility"
The message declares in addition
that the petitioners have borne finan-
Cial losses silently, but that many Of
them can not obey the advice to get
away if in danger" as their departure
would mean the abandoning of the
aCCumulations of a life time.
We consider the lives of ourselves
and our families in danger, and the
situation has justified this petition
several times in the last few days
the message continues. 1T is no
longer doubtful that the slightest
spark will bring on the dread confla-
grafton at any moment. In many in
stances the small arms sold American
citizens on the part of the american
Government for their protection have
been demanded, and in some instances
they have been taken"

LONDON. June 7.-Unwittingly
the Duchess Of Marlborough. who
was Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, If
New York, has stirred up a hornets
nest in her eagerness to do good
among the poor For years she has
been most active in charity, She has
endowed institutions to benefit the
working classes, especially the wo-
men; she has gone into the slums
frequently TO relieve distress; she has
enlisted the cooperation of the rich
and the mighty in her benevolent en-
terprises, and has won warm praise
for what she has accomplished from
Queen Mary. who has sometimes been
with her on errands of mercy in the
East End.
one evening recently the Duchess
made a speech at a meeting in the
interest of the St. Pancras School
for Mothers, Of which she is a gen
erous patron. and her well intended
remarks have called forth much in
considerable. unkind criticism in the
public press.
Kings Aunt Involved.
To make matters worse, Princess
Christian, an aunt of King George,
presided at the meeting and there is
nothing more distasteful 10 royalties
than TO be mixed " in a controyer-
sy, especially II it has a political
tinge.
The expressions Of the Duchess
which seem 10 have aroused the most
resentment were these:
Enough has been written to show
that our system Of education has
failed to turn out better workmen
more competent mothers, more self
reliant men and women. Lessons IN
mothercraft have to be supplemented
BY rudimentary instruction in cook
ing and housework, while personal
and domestic hygiene also are uns
known factors"
DR.. Marion Phillips. the General
Secretary of the Women'S Labor
League. complains in this fashion:
What can you cook without
stoves And what percentage Of the
working people have stoves Evil
IDENTITY the Duchess does not know
that in some districts the cooking has
to be done entirely on an ordinary
open fireplace,

Exactly how well can you cook?
Could you keep yourself clean
in a slum?
Do you know as much as your

and domestic hygiene?
Could you make a tenement in
the East End glorious with a bar
of yellow soap and WORKOUT

Do you make and mend the
dresses Of your family?
Could you patch a pair of I'M

Do you look after the Duke and
see he is trim and tidy?
Would you care to polish him

Could you keep clean il you

Do you know everything about

whereof you talk so eloquently?

It, but not the patronage Of a Duchess
Do not, implore Your Grace, preach

CINE that she, as an American. criti-
Cises the English workingwonnen with
national bias This. Of course. is
most unjust. as the Duchess is now
entirely English in her point OF view
