sENoR1TA ANITA cARRANzA.


CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-"Oh don't ask
me what the war in Mexico has
meant to women. Gen. Sherman told
what war is-to men. But for us
it has been so much worse, so in
describably frightful."
Senorita Anita Carranza- niece of
the greatest Mexican rebel Gen.
Venustiano Carranza, spoke Win
sudden tragic glow in her eyes.
While her illustrious uncle has been
repeatedly triumphIng over the
Huerta forces, Senorita, -Carranza. has
been winning repeated triumphs of
her own, as a soloist in concerts In
New York. Newport and Boston.
But my heart Is with my poor
country and the. despairing women
OF my country" she exclaimed when
interviewed here.
You American men have talked
OF going TO war with Mexico. Don't
do It. You don't know what 1t means.
Only women understand how horrible
war really is. Men think 1t a sort
OF a game. like your football, only
played on a more grim and tragic
field. When the game is over they
declare solemnly that war is hell!
But. just the same. they go back to
their game every time they have a
chance, just for the excitement of IL
and the loot.
But we women don't see any Of
the sport. 1t is we who are victims
OF the looting-and OF violence that
is worse. Truly. women in the sol
diery-ravaged parts of Mexico are
living in an inferno. 1 have just re-
ceived several letters from girl friends
in Piedras NegraS. They tell of out
RACES upon some OF my old school
mates which would make you culver
with rage. just as 1 do, if you could
read them.
Several little peasant girls I know
Of have committed suicide rather than
endure what the approach OF an
army tnaced them with. And
others are Waging for themselves and
their helpless children a, terrible fight
against starvation, while their hus-
bands are at the front. To many Of
them. as / know from experience in
my own family, comes the SlCkening
news that husband. son or brother
has fallen in battle-Or before rae
murderous guns OF a firing squad.
THAT is what the war in Mexico
has meant to women. But to the
men Il has meant merely brutal
sport-and unnameable license.
Would Americans In the name Of
peace. send armies into Mexico and
thus only prOiOng these miserable
conditions? Can't YOU see that un-
der the leadership Of my uncle. Gen.
Carranza. the forces Of law and order

American people 10 let him work out
the salvation OF Mexico by himself.
with only the cooperation OF the
rapidly growing middle class and the
intelligent patriots of all classes who

For the sake OF the honor and
happiness OF your women. and ours,

continued on down the steps.
Great was my establishment to find
that I had apparently stepped from a

treads were worn by long Use, the
plaster walls that enclosed them were
battered and cracked, and seemed to
have plunged from the glo.y Of Hope

domicile of another era that lay within

candle, l recalled, not without qualm,
the story of the British soldier whom
tradition or superstition linked to the
site Of Miss HOLSTERS property.
At the foot of the stair found two
rooms, one on either side Of small
hall, and these also were clearly part
of an old house that seemed to be
somehow merged into the Hollister
mansion. remembered now that the
mansion stood wedged against rough
spur of rock and that the front and
rear entrances were upon different lev
els, and it was conceivable that the
back part of the mansion might inclose
these rooms Of an earlier house occu-
pying the same site. Why they should
have been retained was beyond me.
