POWER BEHIND DIAz
Declares Catholic Church Is Promot-

New York April 1.-THE New
York Herald prints a dispatch from
Ell Paso, saying that a new banner
has been raised in Mexico. 1t is the
banner of Felix Diaz but the real man
behind it is Francisco de la Barra,
former president of Mexico, and stand
ing behind De la Barra is the Roman
Catholic church, which represents all
the wealth of Mexico.
They are prepared to strike hard
the moment the United States troops
are taken out Of the country and force
Carranza to relinquish his control of
the government. The movement even
now has assumed colossal proportions
and the forces of Diaz are being stead
lily strengthened. They are well
armed and equipped.

AYR. NIGHTMARE
Refugees Gave Up Their All
When Leaving Mexico.
Intervention Alone Will Make
Country Safe, They Say.

New York. April 17.-"For the last
four years our life in Mexico has been
a constant nightmare. We never at
any time had a moments peace. Con-
ditionS have become so dreadful that

Andrew Gray. a middle aged Scotch
man, thus characterized conditions in
Mexico on his arrival here with a
number of other British and American
refugees on the Ward liner Monterey
All were giving up their property in
the distressed country. They declared
that Intervention by the United States
was the only possible solution.
Leon Gugenheim, attache of the
French legation in Mexico City, who
also was on board, expressed the same
opinion.

City, for many years." said Gray. "I
was manager there for the San Rafael

the factory. During the last four
years we were constantly menaced by
bandits. Without any provocation
they fired shots indiscriminately into
our house.

THE house is riddIed with bullet

He said:
"As soon as the European war is
