Observation-Disclosures Fore
sees Intervention.

Stephen Bonsal, author and war cor
respondent, arrived here last night on
the Ward Line steamer Mexico from
Vera Cruz after a thorough investiga-
ton of conditions in the Republic
made for the American Red Cross.
Pending the publication Of his report
Mr.. Bonsal refused to discuss Mexico.
Conditions were described as un-
raralleled and armed intervention by
the United States was prophesied by
en- American banker living in Tampico,
who arrived with Mr.. Bonsal.
president Wilson has shut his ear
20 the business men of Mexico" he
said, because Mr.. Bryan has told him
they are mere adventures.
IF the President had deliberately
set out to muddle affairs and produce
anarchy he could not have succeeded
better than with his present policy.
The only remedy is armed lnterven-
ton.
Intervention would not take long.
With the capture Of the seaports 80
FER cent of the inhabitants would come
under the American flag. The only
opposition would come from scattered
banditti in the interior.
"Villa has been defeated or every
hand for the last six months"
