when it says
The services he rendered his country
during the recent Mexican revolution
were by no means ordinary. The his
tory of them forms a creditable chap

Wilson's grasp Of the situation, his
ability 10 discriminate between truth

his refusal 20 be intimated or fright

bOta federals and rebels respect the
rights Of foreigners in the capital, and
hnally his sane, straightforward ac-
counts of conditions. which prevented
serious trouble between this country
ana Mexico and perhaps Intervention
and costly war. Ambassador Will
sons common sense attitude after the
fall Of MadSro, and his well tempered
reports Of events while the work of
reconstruction was going on, doubtless
did much To prevent the growth of
what promised TO be- an excess of SEN
timrnt in this country against DiaZ

with the Maderists. II assisted large

we'll az officially, neutral. In short,
Mr. Wilson was the one prominent fig

Huerta's ascendancy. He was. 10 use a

The American demand was thus pretty
well restricted To the domestic supply.
The Increased demands of the army
aud navy are also credited with fa-
vorably influencing the industry. II
the army had been armed with mag
a2ine rifles, using brass cartridges. the
demand would have been much great
en- hut such was not the ease. ON the
other hand the war interferred with
the supply of labor for the mines The
population of the copper counties I'm
