Mercies of LawIess Element In
Mexico.

New York.-Lionel Garden, one tim
British minister to Mexico, and re
emily appointed minister to Brazil
sailing Wednesday on the Celtic fol
Liverpool, is quoted by the New York
City News association as having made
the following statement concerning
the withdrawal of American troops
from Vera Cruz:
1T is a desperate shame that the
United states has seen fit to abandon
the decent people of Mexico when
they most need help | do not know
the reason for this, but 1t would seem
that President Wilson has been misin-
formed in some matters and that If
another side of the situation has been
brought to his attention he has not
seen fit to listen to anything that con
tradicts those who have told him that
the country has been pacified.
The people who did not get pro-
lection at Mexico City and elsewhere
went to Vera Cruz for protection.
What will they do now? They have
40 means of getting away and will be
eft to the mercies of the lawless ele-
ment that will overrun the town and
country"
