INTERVENTION IN MEXICO
Those with an Axe to Grind Want II,
Saws Former Publisher.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: For six years I was publisher OIL
I'll Diario' leading daily newspaper
of Mexico City. My business and expert
ence there have made me Thoroughly IA
miliar with the people, affairs ana coh1'-
tons Of the southern republic. 10 the
protests of many clear thinking and faH
minded men | wish TO add my earnest
appeal against armed Intervention III
Mexico by the United states.
Armed intervention would put ire
mendous burden upon the people OF TINS
country and no good could come from IL
EXCEPT to "A few American land owners
in the southern country.
IT is those with an axe to grind no

unfortunate situation in Mexico TO ere
ate public sentiment in favor of armed
Intervention.
In spite of garbled and in some IN
stances brazenly padded reports pun

the Mexican people has thus tar re-
NAMED friendly toward Americans. IL
is certainly significant that. although
fight has been in progress five days III
the Mexican capital. during which the
policing Of the city has been entlreiy
suspended. the much heralded anti
American uprising and looting or the
foreigners homes has not materialized.
Onle the assurance OF armed interven-
ton would cause such an uprising. Mex
leans love their national independehce
more than their political liberty, ana
they would fight for II. The property OF
foreigners living in this country suffered

perilled-durinS the civil War, but what

believe that the MeXicans are near

problems out among themselves. The
forty thousand Americans living in the
MeXican Republic--not those owning

not want Intervention. The United

should receive "A square deal at the hands

SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND
Differences Among Women Negligible,
Says Correspondent.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The last accounts OF the woman
suffrage situation in Parliament are so
misleading that | should be glad OF an
opportunity to say few words OF ex-
PLANTATION TO those who know OF these
things only az they are reported in the
American newspapers.
II is announced that the differences be-
tween the various women's societies as to
the measure OF Acknowledgement which is
going To content them are making il very
difficult FOR Mr.. Lloyd George and other
Liberals to draw up the new non-partisan
suffrage bill to he introduced by private
member to satisfy those people who think
the women have been badly treated in the
withdrawal OF the government franchise
bill.
But any one who thinks seriously on the
subject will see that the women's differ
ences Of opinion on this matter are a
negligible quantity compared with the
sharp divisions actually existing among
the friends OF suffrage in the House the
adult sunragists. the conservative SUI
fragists anu every shade OF difference be-
tween.
Three years ago an effort was made TO
unite the suffrage NJ. P.'s Of all parties by
compromise measure called the concila-
ton bill. and as soon as IL was framed
all the wOmen's societies without eNcep-
ton gave 1t their support and worked
and prayed for it until II was defeated
by the Nationalist members, who voted
against IL, though originally pledged for
it. when they thought It's passage might
interfere with their own Home Rule bill,
about To be Introduced.
There Is no reason To believe that ALI
the women would not unite again on any
suffrage bill which seemed to have a fair
chance OF passing. and this refusal to
sink their differences now and go half
way to help Mr.. Lloyd George In draw
ing up another non partisan. private menu
Der suffrage bill. amy kind Of bill the
women will agree on" shows that they
are not really divided. but united, a. they
have never been before. In refusing TO
be satisfied with any bill that Is not a
government measure.
