 CT have seen the destruction of ma tion." was her dramatic beginning. She declared that in three years of demo- cratic rule in the United States of America. the United States of Mexico had been ruined. "MeXico's chief mis- fortune has been that it is a neighbor of ours. l come to refute campaign of misrepresentation, a concealment of the wrongs wrought by the United States against Mexico. America was obligated first to protect the lives and property of it's citizens in Mexico and second to protect the lives and prop erty of foreigners there, Instead, we first ruined Mexico and then went to war with it. That Wilson has kept us out of war is a fiction. Lifting the embargo on arms for Villas benefit was The death knell of American rights in Mexico"
 She told interestingly of the scenes in the Mexican capital when Huera realized that Washington was out to get" him. how the "old Indian" then refused longer to care whether he sa luted the flag or not.

 The women had been warned they would better not appeal to the western women for support against Wilson be- cause they believed the president had kept the country out of war and theiI men folks at home. My husband anC son belong first to God, then to theil country and last to me- said the sfpeakeT. If that attitude is not gen. eral. then something essential has gon, out of our national spirit"
 Here the sneaker was interrupted by a woman who asked if her son wer, on the border. He is a little one sai dthe speaker. When he is IS hi country can have him if it needs him I can have him to myself for nin years. But when we have a man fo president whose ave is aye and who's nay is nay there will De no need to fea getting into war.
