Nindero's Mistake.

And right there Madero made one of his
fatal mistakes by not keeping Gen.
Huerta in north Mexico to prevent the
brigands from gathering again and doing
more mischief, Zappata just then was
making one of his periodical demonstra-
tions TO the south of Mexico City. and
Madero recalled Huerta to deal with him
as he had before on occasions. Huerta
being the only general of the army who
seemed able to dispose of him. But in
stead Of sending him to catch and hang
Zappata, as he very likely would have
done, Madero made another mistake by
relieving Huerta of command in the field
to make him head of the war department
in Mexico City. Then, of course, Zap
pata continued his depredations In the
south, while the so-called revolutionists
in the north came down from the noun
tains and began the fight again for their
liberty and loot which continued till the
younger Diaz succeeded in making his
escape from prison and promoting an in
surrection in Mexico City. which resulted
in the death of Madero and the election
of Huerta by the Mexican congress to be
the ad interim and de facto president Of
the Mexican republic.
President Taft. as said. wished to
send the United States troops into
Mexico to protect our own and other
foreign citizens, and incidentally to
assist in maintaining order and the
Madero government as he had done
in Nicaragua, and as the United States
had done in Panama a score of times
when that disturbed country belonged
to Colombia. But there were timid
men in Mr.. Tafts council who had
talked with timid business men and
capitalists through the country. who
said such action would mean War
with Mexico. long and costly in treas
ure and the lives of our soldiers;"
that such a war would be a terrible
disaster. etc. and, they pointed out. II
was very lucky that Mr.. Roosevelt
was not President. for he surely would
have made such an unfortunate mis-
take.
And so President Taft was overper-
suaded. Had he used his own better
judgment In the case there would
have been no war with Mexico, a.
many think and hold strongly order
would have been maintained In the
northern sections Of that republic,
with the marauding bands dispersed
and Madero alive today. There Wa
still another chance for President Taft
TO save Mexico and its foreign colo

The Washington herald., 1915-08-17

1t is the firm belief of many citizens
of this country that two men more than
any others are responsible for the con-
dition OF anarchy in Mexico at the pres
ent time-two men as wide apart in char
acter as the poles-William Howard Taft
and William Jennings Bryan. Mr.. Taft's
part in the tragedy was of a more or
less innocent nature, faulty but admit
ting of some excuse; that of Mr.. Bryan's
a mixture of incompetence and Stiffness.
wholly indefensible. as many men say.
A bit of unwritten history is said to
exist which exonerates- Mr.. Taft in
measure. When the revolution. So called.
broke out against Madero (only a few
months President of Mexico) by Orozco.
Salazar and other leaders of bands in
Northern Mexico. who were peeved be-
cause they did not get their share in the
loot of the treasury left by Porfirio Diaz
President Taft ordered a brigade of sew
eral regiments of cavalry, with some
artillery. to the Rio Grande for the pro-
lection of the American towns and cities
along the border. And when the maraud-
ing bands began to raid and loot the
mines and ranches and other property of
Americans. killing their owners and man
ayers and rnistreating their families
when they resisted, President Taft was
strongly In favor OF sending the cavalry
over the border for their protection. He
argued correctly that under international
law and treaty agreement he had the
police right to protect our citizens in for
eign countries whenever the constituted
authorities of such countries were unable
or unwilling to protect them. 1t would
be no act of hostility, he said, against
Mexico or it's people, but a move to dis
perse a few bands of robbers whom
Madero would doubtless be glad to be
rid of. In fact, later on. when the BAN
dts had grown more formidable by i'm
pressing poems into their ranks and be-
gan burning railway bridges and de-
stroying property in general, Madero did
send Gen. Huerta, then commander of
the Mexican regular army. against them.

but well-equipped and trained force.
