dred Spaniards. | ask YOU to consid- |
er these facts. The MeXicans have |
not killed single German and only |
one Enghshman. But they have !
killed several hundred Americans and |
several hundred Chinese. They class |
the Germans and Englishmen as be- |
longing to nations able to protect the
lives Of their citizens. whereas,
thanks to Mr. Wilson, they regard the
Americans and the Chinese as equally
sate to murder, outrage and plumber.
ask the people of this country to
consider these facts for themselves,
and to draw their own conclusions;
and If they have feelings of ordinary
PATRIOTISM they cannot consent toI
continue in power the administration
that is responsible for such condi-
ton of affairs.
American Employees Barred.
The natural effect of this policy is
shown by the fact that it is no longer
safe for foreign companies i'm Mexico
to have American employees or to he
operated under an American name.
Instance after instance of this kind
has been brought to my attention
with the personal request that ! do
not use it for fear that damage should

There are however, published state

public statement issued by the santa

( Murder Encouraged.
Thanks to President Wilson and the
professional pacificists it is safe for

cans and Chinese, and to take then
property, and the muTderers and ban

United states and his authorized rep

these bandits are the worst foes OF the

tame submission to infamy VIVA
President Wilson's motives are it Il
hard to guess. As reported IN I'M
press not a few of Mr.. Wilson S owl
supporters take the ground that b
acts in this manner because he IS III
fluenced by downright fear ON Aus
ust s last it was announced in tn
press that Frank B. Nrooman, dem
oCratic national committeeman, o
, Colorado, stated at Denver tina
president Wilson had wisely aVoide
war with Mexico because there ar
400, 900 japanese soldiers in Mexico
and because both Germany and ia
pan are planning to overthrow IN
, Monroe doctrine, and therefore wa
with Mexico would mean war wit
10th these countries. Mr.. Nroo
mans premises are unsOund. Ther
is slight reason to believe that theI
are as many as 1000 Japanese Of mn
, itary age in Mexico. But his state
ment, if correctly reported (and 1t ma
, not been cOntradiCted) is a frank al
mission and assertion of his BELIEF
the belief of one of President WA
sons close political admirers an
supporters, that President Wilson
afraid to interfere in Mexico, becaus
y he is afraid lest Germany and Japa
stop us when we try to exact atone
ment for the murder of America
citizens and the destruction of Amer
