RUSSIAN MINISTER SAYS
MEXICO is ANARCHISTIC

New York, Sept. 26.-Before sailing
for Glasgow on his way to P~etrograd
aboard the Olympic today, Alexander
r.. S~talegsky, Russian minister to Mex
leo spoke freely on conditions in that
country as he said he had found them.
Mexico is without a government
and practically in a state of anarchy"
he said. with the exception Of the
state of Yucatan where some SEM
blance of order is still maintained, it
is unsafe for a person to travel in
Mexico. The bands of brigands that
burn n pillage as they please with
out interference from the national
government are the cause of all the
trouble. There is no interference by
the national authorities simply because
there is no national government worth
mentioning. The United States should
not withdraw ITS troops from Vera
Cruz.
From what I was able to observe
there is no prospect that a stable gov
eminent may be established in Mexico.
CarranZa is an able political chief but
he cannot compare with Villa as a lead
err of men. 1 am frank to state that
conditions in Mexico today are not one-
half as good as they We're during the
reign of Madero."
