PEACE ONLY IRON AMERICA VIEW or

The real story of Bryan diplomacy in

refugees now fleeing that unhappy conn

themselves throughout the country, toll

their own experiences, says the Washing

among the nations of the world.
AMERICANS PARTLY TO BLAME.
Strange as it may sound. the Americans
themselves have been partly responsible
for the plight in which they have found
themselves since the recent military move
ment began. They have not always told
the truth about conditions in the southern
republic. They have not always been
frank with their own countrymcn. They
have let the impression 80 abroad that the
country would be pacihed and that Amer
lean lives and property would he safe

NERMONTER AT VERA CRUZ.

i-l'-hp.> Elk Al VERA CRUZ,
Letters received at Salisbury from
Harold kont of that town, who is a wire
less operator on the United States bat
ueshlp Connecticut at Vera Cruz, tell of
the forlorn condition of American refu-
gees aboard his ship. lie writes that
there are about 1900 refugees aboard the
Connecticut and that the ships officers
have given up their quarters to the I'M
fortunatcs, many of whom are women
and children.
Mr. Kent writes that many of the ref
u%ces possess absolutely nothing but the
clothes they wore when they came
aboard the ship, He says the navy de-
partmcnt is in shape to feed these peo-
pie well and make their condition as
cheerful as possible. He said that sew
eral aged couples were in pltable con-
dition and that a number of the refugees
had recently undergone surgical opera
tons when they were brought aboard the
ship
Mr.. Kent speaks of the efforts OF Mex

Ing reports to the effect that the army
is driving the Americans back into north
crn Mexico. He says the newspapers
contain lurid accounts of imaginary en-

m the Widest flights Of fancy no one
dreamed that the United States would
be otherwise than impartial and in
tclligcnt in dealing with a foreign COM
plcatiun of so grave character. But
the optimistic theorists forgot that Mr..
Bryan was secretary Of state. The un-
yielding policy of that official, supported
by the President, has been to arm one
faction in McXico against another in the
belief that the triumph of tine blood
thirsty Villa would he followed by peace
and reform. The Americans in Mexico
who have appeared to put trust in this
policy are now beginning to learn tho
character of tho diplomacy that regards
it as the last duty of government to
protect it's own citizens.
