drinks six bottles Of pulque and a
dozen bottles of champagne day, will
be no easy man to reach. There are a
thousand desperate cutthroats, miniOns

the fourteen who will venture on the
self-imposed task alone il will mean
suicide, for he will fall with nifty bull
lets through his body. But to these
devoted fourteen this will be matter
OF secondary consideration. Three Of
the fourteen who have sworn Huerta's 8
death are now in this country. Also in
Mexico there are four hundred Italians
waiting for their leader TO rise i'm the
Madero cause. And every peon is
ready to join the standard of revolt.
Ny own Yaquis and Serais are wait

being treated as human beings and
being allowed a voice I'm their govern
ment. Now, because OF their loyalty to
Madero's cause, they are Icing tortured
and killed without the semblance of
any show Of trial. or course. this
torture and murder are inflicted only on
their villages lying close to Mexico
City, where the Huerta-Diaz group
holds sway.
The Huerta and Diaz regime has
money and backing. 1t possesses arms
and ammunition. II has the brains Of

night when We pitched our tent and sur

fortunately no one was touched by them.

caused a sensation throughout all Mex
leo.
In its pages he bitterly arraigned
Diaz, blaming him for the bad govern
ment and distressing condition OF the
Mexican in the humber walks Of life.
He followed this up by getting a NOM
ination for President, and by fighting
against what appeared at first to be
overwhelming odds. in the end defeat
ing Diaz and forcing him to leave the
country. There now appeared to dawn
for poor, blood stained Mexico an era
Of tranquility and prosperity. But
Porfrio Diaz still lived. And the pa
triotic Madero rang jubilate through
out all the land-"Mexico for Mexi-
cans"
Sent up by fourteen million joyful
throats, the cry pulsated and quivered
through the air, being distinctly heard
by great money power of Wall Street
here I'm New York.
This meant no further concessions
for that money pcwer-no more exploit
tation of fabulously rich oil and mineral
lands.
SO the money power walled, and their
wall, borne on the wings OF a thousand
breezes reached even to distant Egypt.
But even when the cry had been heard
and Madero lay dead on the ground
beside the prison wall Huerta and Diaz
had not yet completely triumphed by

told them in no measured terms what
she thought Of their dastardly act.

their treachery would meet with just
retrlbution.
There Is not the slightest doubt that
her prophetic words will come true.
There are fourteen men who loved
