HORRORS OF MEXICO.

The horrible conditions in Mexico
are clearly depicted by a dozen pnoto-
graphs sent to Charles L. Mitchell by
ed and put on display in a case in
front of the Crane q Co. establish
ment.
The pictures show how there is alb
solute disregard for sanitation in the
war-devaStated country. The bodies
of soldiers are seen in various stages
of decomposition, no effort having
been made to bury them.

aggerated.
