de Lara declares, Mexico will still fight on. Land hunger was at the bottom of..enc Madero revolution. Ma dero he characterizes as an "academ- ic politician" and "certainly not the man to guide the mighty forces of the revolution of 1910. Francisco Ma dero, in short, was that most unhap- pv of all types of politiclans-the bourgeois idealist, subsequent events jroved him to be an opportunltst as well. Betrayed into the open by the cunning of Porfirio Diaz himself, he rashly embraced the cause of the people at the moment of that lmpas- stoned revolt not from conviction but as an alluring e1pedient. Almost without effort of his own he was lift ed into power by the might of the people, as'>>a straw is lifted by a wave. A constitutional president under false pretenses, his whole sub sequent career was a denial of the popular cause"
 Summing up the cause of Madero's downfall, the authors say that when the smoke of the Madero revolution had cleared away the people found that for all their trouble they had changed nothing but name. The cries, of "Viva Madero!" became still ed then out of silence of disillusion- ment burst forth new cry, "Viva la Tierra!" 'Viva la Constitution! as, full of new hope and understanding they unstacked their rifles and pre- pared to continue the fight. They would no longer fight for a man. Henceforth they would never lay down their arms till they themselves had consummated the economic reor- ganization they demanded.
 "In this clarified attitude of the Mexican people lies the great hope of the present revolution. No man ', can henceforth ride on their backs into power. Thanks to this policy of the Maderos, the policy of Diaz be- fore them, the Mexican people are engaged today in clear-cut. un- compromising revolution, and are not. as they might have been, the i partially contented victims of capi- talistic reform"
 Tn his review of the last days of Madero, Senor de Lara declares that | the Mexican president "was com pelled 10 throw himself into the arms of Japan" in order to checkmate the policy of the Taft administration ot 'illconcealed alliance with his enemies" Henry Lane Wilson, as | American ambassador, using hls power against Madero, comes in for severe criticism
 Of the realignment of the fighting forces under Carranza's leadership Senor de Lara says in conclusion:
 "None of these superficial modifica- tions, however, has altered in the least the real spirit and purpose of the great mass. They are fighting today as they fought in the days of Hidalgo. of Morelos. of Guerrero, Of Gomez, Farias, of Juarez. for the land, for democracy. They will triumph. They must triumph. Noth- ing short of another criminal foreign intervention can stay their hand"

 Ousted by Aid Rurales.
 Diaz had recruited 15,0OO mounted police (rurales) as powerful engine for the suppression of revolt and the castigation of recalcitrants." !"
 The deliberate plan of the Diaz government, according to Senor de Lara and his co-author, was to seize the holdings of the small land own CTS and thus destroy the agrarian democracy which had been establish ed in the proceeding years of rebel lion. They coatiue the story:
 Accordingly, in the winter of this year 1885, the campaign was opened in the valley of Papantla, in the state of Vera Cruz. The valley is one of the richest in Mexico. yielding abund- ant crops of coffee, cocoa, sugar cane, pineapples and many other tropical and sub-tropical products. At this time is supported an agrarian popu- dustrious working folk in the full enjoyment of prosperity and peace.
 "One day party of surveyors ap- peared in the valley with their ;-- sits. The people knew only too we'll the meaning of this invasion. and, filled with foreboding, they protested to the surveyors that they had no desire to have their land measured even if the government had ordered it, foc those lands were their own private property by warranty of the constitution The surveyors persist ed and the newt day reappeared with a posse of rurales. Again the people protested, but this time they were silenced by force, and in the clash | that ensued several lives were lost on both sides.
 Wholesale Slaughter of Farmers | -Four days later force consisting of several thousand rurals and di- I vision of the army entered the valley l and began the systematic eXtermina- l tion of the population. How many | were killed will never be known l About ten years ago ia the course of our investigation we visited this val ley and endeavored $ elicit some de- tails of the affairs from the people | Neither man, woman nor child could l be induced to say word, because all ready number of them had met death, banishment, imprisonment and | floggings for even speaking of it.
 In spite of this dumbness of the ! people, however, we obtained inde
 pendent proof that for fifteen days the slaughter never ceased, that not a man escaped alive, that only a remnant of women and children were 1 spared, and that the task of buryine the dead was so great that month later the air for miles around the val ley was unbreathable owing to the stench of the thousands of putrefy-
 ing corpses. Today this whole re- zion, where once 10000 peaceable, in dustrious folk obtained a prosperous
 living from the soil, be longs to a l single rich family"

TOO LIBERAL
 FOR OWN GOOD
After Acquiring Big Fortune, Herr Hans Lieberer Gives All to
 Charity.

Vienna, May 23-A true though unconventional philanthropist, has just passed away at Innsbruck, in the person of Herr Hans Lieberer.
 Herr Lieberer, who from a poor man became extremely wealthy in consequence of successful insurance operations, gave away in all about $1,200,000 to hospitals, asylums, and other charitable institutions.
 His first donation was $200, ,OOO. sent to an Innsbruck hospital. After deciding to make the gift, he found that if he did so, his whole remain ing fortune would be $40 and that in the event of illness or bad luck. he himself might have to accept public charity. For two days he left the letter to the hospital authorities lying on his desk and then forward ed it with the money
 'I fought great battle with n.y. self" he once said. "but finally my sef-confidence was victorious and I posted that letter and remained with $40 in my pocket.
 He declined a high decoration off, fered by the Imperial court, but recently the emperor, without con. sulting him and probably against his wishes. made him baron.

 Senor de Lara achieved notority in the United States in 190 through his appeals to congress for protec- tion from the bounding which he al legged agents of the Mexican Dictator carried on against him as political exile. De Lara published his story of Political Refugee" some Ilme ago, bu t in his latest book he returns to the subject with recounting of his experiences following the Can nanea strike of 1906, the flight Of himself and fellow revolutionary agitators to the United States and treir arrests in St. Louis, San Anto- nio, Los Angeles and elsewhere. De Lara asserts that Theodore Roose-
 welt directed the whole weight of the
 federal forces" against these Mexi-
 can natriots, permitting them to be
 bounded by the secret service at the
 instigation of President Diaz.
