needy Mexicans, then 1t is time they
were put out Of the way SO Mexicans
can help themselves.
In Mexico today there are some
100000 people, the vast majority
of whom are illiterate. These people
have grown heart -sore and weary at
the continuous strife existing within
their land. They are a famished and
broken people no sooner rid OF one
set of bandits than another group of
anarchists springs up to wrest from
them their only vestige or hope.
President Wilson is aching to do
something for the suffering people OF
Mexico. On June last he issued q
note to the four, chieftalns Of military
Mexico and warned them OF an inn

q conference for the restoration of
peace and constitutional government
in Mexico. But that means nothing.

an untruth Carranza claims to con-

and anarchy can be found in nine
tenths of his domain. Carranza asks
this government to wait until he gets
things fixed the way he wants them.
Villa is willing to join in confer

suit, of such conference would be to
