allegation that he bargained with Sir
William Tyrell secretary to British
Foreign Minister Grey and he express
ed deep regret that what promised to
be deignified debate seemed to have
degenerated into an organized attempt
to discredit the administration. He
insisted, however, that the course that
had been taken only makes more GER

exemption clause.

Tells of Adventures

(By Staff Cor. Of United Press.)
Mexico City, March 30.-The bottom
has fallen out Of business for American
adyenturers along the border. Tracy
Richardson, one Of the star machine
gun men in the Mexican revolution, de
yeloped this fact with great care and
regret in a conversation with the staff
correspondent of the United Pres.
The games played out along the
border" said Richardson, who has
fought dnder villa, Saazar and Orozco,
at different times. sln the early days
OF the Orozco revolution against Ma

Orozco looked like winner and some
big American concerns were putting a
lot of money to his cause. hoping that
he would make SO much trouble that
the United States would have 10 wave
the stars and stripes over Mexico But,
at the end of three weeks, Orozco had
been licked three times by Madero'5
soldiers and my fine wages stopped.
I've run machine guns in more South
American revolutions than than care
to tell about, but that was the highest
salary | ever got.
To-day there are 2000 young fellows
along the Rio Grande who are crazy
to handle machine guns for either side
Of the revolution. They don't want
wages. All they seek is glory, adven-
mre and plenty to eat It's the money
we professional revolutionists are
after. It's the moving pictares and two
or three magazines OF adventure that
have killed our game They make
young fellows want 10 do desperate
things. OF course. way down in the in
terror of Mexico, where there's hard
fight and where the American news
paparmen can't see the young heroes

plenty of jobs But they want to stay
near the Rio Grande, where they're NOT
too far from home and where they're
under the eyes Of the war correspond

And what's more" continued Rich

III you stop 10 think" said Richard
sen, there are few men like Villa,
Crozro, Saazar and Campo, who have
been fighting continually the past
three years. Their experience has
turned them into first class military
men. You can't show me a country
in the world whose generals have had
as much actual experience in real war
