How narrow was the margin between

any to-do. At daybreak land was seen.

blanket II. When il was all finally COW
cred In such way that D!az dared not

even II the instruction failed the Ma
deros could safely declare themselves.
In the meantime great quantities OF
arms were cautiously shipped into Mex
leo by Gustavo Madero and turned over
TO the revolutionary sympathlzers. Grad
ually also the right sort of public opin-
ion was developed in the United States.
The masses in this country lent their
moral influence to Madero and this pre-
vented any antagonistic action on the
part Of Congress or OF the State Depart
ment
The neutrality laws provide that no
friendly nation shall allow an armed ex-
petition to be fitted out upon its soil nor
any vessel intending to commit hostil!-
ties to leave Its ports. International
law, which is a more indefinite code. also
holds that no nation shall permit its
ports to be used as base for the ship
ment Of arms into friendly country for
hostile use. The tribunal of Geneva
upheld this principle when the United
States complained OF the assistance that
Great Britain had given the Confederacy
Popular opinion might easily have en-
forced this law and thus made the sue
cess OF Maderos revolution impossible.
AS a matter OF fact this principle OF
international law which might have been
enforced against Madero was later In
voked by him against Orozco. Congress
passed a resolution calling upon the
President to apply this principle OF law
to prevent arms being shipped from the
United States to that revolutionist in
Mexico. Those who watched these de-
velopments from the standpoint OF Wash
ington appreciated the fact that this
Congressional resolution originated in the
office OF Madero's American attorneys.
Most delicately has the present revo-
lutionary cause been guided from the
American side. Most carefully has pub
Nc opinion been created for the Consti-
tutionalists. Nominal representatives of
the Constitutionalists have maintained
headquarters in Washington, and these
have given out press statements die
attorneys have urged and begged and
pleaded with Carranza not TO antagonize
this Government. Yet this old patriarch,
narrow In his view and intense in his
prejudices, has always been ready to fly
in the face Of this Government.
Another OF the revolutions in Latin
America handled by Hopkins & Hop
kins was that in Nicaragua which re-
suited In driving ont Zelaya and plac-
ing Juan Estrada in his place. The
Zelaya administration had long been
notorious for its grating and for the
manner in which public funds were
used TO enrich the President. At the
time the revolution was precipitated
Zelaya had arranged a loan OF 1885,
900 with London bankers, Had he got
this money the opposition would not
have been able successfully to hght
him.
He ala not get 1t, however, because

been deposed and then 1t went into tho
hands of the new Government. where,
It is to be hoped, 1t was applied more
70 the benefit of the public than other
wise would have been the case.
The story OF Zelaya's overthrow Is a
typical drama of Central American pol
tiles. Juan Estrada was in command OF
the military forces at Bluefelds and
up and down the entire east coast OF
Nicaragua. Salvador Castrillo was the
insurrectionary diplomatic agent in con-
junction with whom Hopkins & Hopkins
worked. This combination had very
difficult game to play.

PEOPLES FORUM

To the Editor w. virginian:
The much talked Of recall Of the
commissioner, WHO has busted him
self TO institute system Of taxation
by which a poor man must pay as
much for one barrel of water as n
rich man pays for six barrels would
seem to be the natural way of relief.
His treatment of the poor man who
works from day light till dark iusti-
iies such strenuous measures.
But to such as contemplate that
act let me bcseech you first to con-
slider the fair name of our city, and
