of her husband, and continues:
Mr.. Turner is not Maderist nor an
adherent of any faction whatever In
Mexico. He is simply observing the

In letter to Senator Sheppard. Mr..
Stimson said:

but on the contrary, every precautlon
will be taken to maintain an e1ectuai
guard there. OF course. it must be
re membered that the regular army is
extremely small and when it becomes
necessary, as it is now, to mobilize
force of ten or fifteen thousand men
