The Crisis in Mexico

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your article under above heading IN
Sundays issue was timely, but touches
lightly the mistakes of President Wilson in
his Mexican policy. Having assumed the Of
flee of President of the United States his
thoughts seemed 20 centre on Mexico. and
he fippantly announced: "Huerta has got
10 60"
But Huerta did not 60. so he went out
Of his way 20 pick a quarrel over trifling
incident, in which Americans were at fault,
and finally 10 make good his words, "Huerta
has got to CO." he used our army and navy
70 make war on Mexico, bombarded their
chief port. killed scores of their people a..
the cost OF many untimey funerals in our
states. and spent millions OF dollars
10 make Huerta salute our flag, but without
success.
In ignoring and throwing blocks in the
way OF the de facto President OF Mexico, our
schoolmaster is largely responsible for the
present crisis in Mexico. IRA DIMOCk.

Telephones in Tottenville.
n Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: To-day's papers inform the pub
lie that in order to forestall legislation
compelling a fiat rate of five cents for tele-
phone calls throughout greater New York,
the New York Telephone Company offers
TO install such rate from July next between
Manhattan, south Of Harlem and any part
of the city except two outlying districts.
We would like to know just why Far Rock
away and Tottenville are placed in the "un-
desirable class"
No doubt the telephone company would
answer that there is not business enough
in these places TO warrant such rate. On
the other hand, might not the opening up
of these districts TO an equal plane with
the rest OF the city make for an increased
number of telephone subscribers? We think
IL would.
We cannot speak for Rockaway, but there
is a little Joker about the Tottenville sta
tion that possibly is not known TO those
who think the company IS Exceedingly gen
erous in its proposition. There is no tele-
phone station in Tottenville. The "Totten-
willie Central" is in Perth Amboy, y. J.
Just TO show how we in this locality are
held up by this proposition. let US state the
situation. There are. perhaps, ten thousand
or more people in this so-called Tottenyllle
district. We have 20 trade in Manhattan or
Perth Amboy. II subscriber wishes TO call
up a New York store he pays extra. II ne
wishes 10 call up a store in Perth Amboy,
y. j.. next door TO the telephone station
(Tottenville Centra) he pays extra, but II
he wishes 10 speak to his next door neigh
Dor here on Staten Island about the weather

American Children Will Suffer.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Some time ago | saw in some New
York newspaper that 10000 foreign en-
ployes we're discharged so that American
citizens could take their places. Just think
how many Of these foreign men have Amer
lean born children. Are the subway con
tractors going TO take the bread away from
the children because the father is not Amer
lean born?
Take this into consideration. that the
foreign contractors will also put the Amer
lean people out OF their employment This
is free country. and think that one man
is as good as the other. LOUIS THERN.

And every goose a swan. lad.
And every lass queen.
Well Done, Mr.. Fethcrston.

Street Cleaning Commissioner Fether-
ston has been criticised so severely for
his failure to handle previous snowfalls
adequately that it is only fair to him TO
say that the latest one of the winter
could hardly have been removed more
quickly. Bad as it was, its interference
with traffic was probably slighter than
was the case with its immediate prede-
cessor. Motor ploughs were put at work
on Fifth Avenue and other streets while
the snow was still falling, and gangs Of
men flushed streets and shovelled snow
into sewers, so that some thoroughfares
were open practically all the time.
OF course, it costs money to fight
snowfall in this manner but it undoubt-
edy costs less than to wait until the
storm is over and then send out shovel
gangs and wagons in the old way. Motor
plOughs and streams from hose are po-
teIt persuaders, and when used from the
beginning of storm leave no chan,e of
victory with the snow.
