But the leaders or the revolution, in
the very hour Of their success, have
disagreed and turned their arms
against one another.
"All processing the same objects. they
are. nevertheless, unable or unwilling
to cooperate. A central authority at
Mexico City is no sooner set up than
it is undermined and its authority de-
support it.
No Nearer Solution
Mexico is apparently no nearer So
luton Of her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution was first
kindled. And she has been swept by
civil war as if by fire. Her crops are
destroyed, her fields lie unseeded, her
cattle are confscated for the use of
the armed factions, her people flee to
the mountains to escape being drawn
into unavailing bloodshed and no man
seems to see or lead the way to peace
and settled order. There is no proper
protection either for her own citizens,
or for the citizens of other nations, res
ident and at work within her territory.
Mexico is starving and without a gov
eminent.
To Save Mexico
"In these circumstances the people
and government of the United States
cannot stand indifferently by and do
nothing to serve their neighbor. They
want nothing for themselves in Mexico.
Least of all do they desire to settle her
la;, ri oh 70 Ir
so. But neither do they wish to see ut
, ter ruin come upon hbr, and they deem
it their duty as friends and neighbors tc
lend any aid they properly can to any
instrumentality which promises to be eff
fective in bringing about a settlement
whlcl: will embody the real objects Of the
revolution-consttution government and
the rights of the people. Patriotic Next
cans are sick at heart and cry out for
peace and for every self-sacrifice that
may be necessary to procure it. Their
people cry out for food and will pres
emily hate as much as they fear every
,, man in their country or out of it who
stands between them and their daily
bread
1T is time, therefore, that the govern
ment of the United States should frank
ly state the policy which in these extra
ordinary circumstances it becomes its
duty to adopt. 1t must presently do what
it has not hitherto done or felt at liber-
ty to do-lend it's active moral support
to some man or group of men if such
may be found who can rally the suffer
ing people of Mexico to their support, in
an effort to ignore. if they cannot unite
the warning factions of the country, re-
turn to the constitution of the republic,
so long in allegiance, and set up gov
eminent at Mexico City, which the great
powers of the world can recognize and
deal with, a government with whom the
program of the revolution will be bus
mess and not merely platform. /,
therefore, publicly and very solemnly,
call upon the leaders of factions in Mex
leo to act, to act together, and to act
promptly for the relief and redemption
of their PROSTATE country. l feel it to
be my duty to tell them that if they cam
not accommodate their differences and
unite for this great purpose within a
very short time, this government will be
constrained to decide what means shall
be employed by the United States in or
der to help Mexico save herself and
save her people,
Recognize Tagle
While details of the governments pol
icy are not yet available, it was said
on good authority that IT was intended
to restore constitutional government In
Mexico after the factions had agreed on
their man for provisional president by
first according recognition to vasauez
Tagle or some Of the other members of
the cabinet of the late President Made

lean laws.
The minister so recognized would be
expected to appoint to the cabinet the
man chosen to head the new government
In whose favor he would then resign.
Ernesto Madero and Manuel Bonilla also
were members Of the Madero cabinet, but
Vasquez Tagle, minister of justice, was
the only man who did not present his
resignation.
Men For Portfolio
