a battlemented wall two and one-half

Less attention, statistically, is paid to

resentative Kelley, I'VE have no means
to tell how many men, women, and

But We can obtain, without difficulty,
figures to show just how many cattle
died of tuberculosis. We can find the
latest remedies for treating diseases Of
cattle. but we cannot find the latest
remedies for curing diseases OF man.

There Is a terrible waste Of humanity.

WILSON RAPS
MEXICAN POLICY
Described as "Sc h elastic
Dream" by Former Am
bassador In Lecture.
HIS CRITICISM CAUSTIC
Solicitor General Davis and Family
Leave Theater During Warmest
Part of Address.

Henry Lane Wilson. United States Am
bassador to Mexico at the time of the
fall and assas assination OF Francisco Ma
dero, gave his version of the politiCsl
tribulations OF that country, and of the
effect OF the United States policy of nom
recognition of Huerta, in an address on
THE Mexican Problem" at the Belasco
Theater last night.
Mr.. Wilson's address was full OF sharr
criticism for the policy that was described
as a scholastic dream" Reference tc
the schoolmaster' was frequent. The
former Ambassador said that if ChamI
Clark or some older member OF the
Democratic party had been in the Presi'
Dental chair conditions would have beer
different. He declared that by no prece'
dent is the United States upheld in the
steps taken.

cism of the United States policy. Solici-
tor General John W. Davis, the only
administration official present, rose, and,
with his wife and daughter, left the
theater.
Madero Called VaciIIatinE.
Mr. Wilson painted Madero as a vaciI-
lating, inefficient ruler and one that If
he had not fostered. had at least toll
Grated, many demonstrations of violent
anti-Americanism.
The present President of Mexico was
defended against the charge of having
killed his predecessor, who, Mr.. Wilson
said. died as the result of a political con-
spiracy. But then the former Ambassa-
dor stated that Madero would be alive
today had not the government intercepted
a telegram from the military ruler of
Vera Cruz agreeing to revolt against
Huerta at the instance of the Madero
family.
The existing policy with respect to
Mexico Mr.. Wilson characterized as one
of unprecedented interference in the af-
fairs of a friendly government.
Whenever before" asked Mr.. Wilson,
has this government attempted to i'm
pose or depose chief executives OF SOW
ereign friendly or independent states
Whenever before has this government
attempted to exercise the right of pass
ing upon the elections of a neighboring
friendly republic, or of deciding whether
a de facto chief executive has not been
made so by constitutional methods?
Whenever before in the history of this
government has it dispatched ENJOYS to
the enemies of order and disturbers OF
peace in a neighborins republic?
Whenever before have the representa-
tions from our American people living
abroad fallen upon deaf and unsympa-
thetic ears? Whenever before have we
ordered by Presidential proclamation
Americans out of any country in the
world, refusing to afford them or their
property protection?

Grover Cleveland would not have done
this, nor would Champ Clark, If he

Let this excellent gentleman con
well his histories. and he will find that
in the management of the foreign af-
fairs of a nation that lesson is taught
for a thousand years that that which
is expedient in the result will stand
the test OF good morals. and that ideal
