ually imposed the whole nameless hor-
ror upon Benighted Mexico? For that
is the explicit indictment OF the VIII
son Administration which this Wilson
ian Democratic writer reports. For 1t
was when Huerta was forced into ex-
lie by the government of the United
States" that Benighted Mexico was de
livered into the hands of Carranza and
the other ravishers That was the
initial crime. the decree from the
throne of authority" as Mr.. Wilson is
fond of calling the Presidency, that
Huerta must 60. and that if he did not
20 voluntarily. and if Mexico did not
make him 20, the United States would
find some effective means for his re-
moval. That decree was put forth by
the President. not with the "pitiless
publicity" which he declares to be his
hobby. but with sinister secrecy, on the
Presidents own authority, through his
own personal agent. II was effective,
and the sequel was the hell which this
book portrays But by what right?
The author well says:
The United States government
had no more right or equity in de-
clining TO recognize Huerta and en-

matter of the Madero assassination
than Diaz had to decline to recog-
nize Roosevelt after the Mckinley
assassination. The fact re-
mains that the tragic matter OF
Mexico. including special ENJOYS,
battleships in battle array, the oc-
cupation Of foreign ports. the in
vasion Of Vera Cruz, the interven-
ton CD or punitive expedition
after one lost, strayed or stolen
bandit. has cost the people OF the
United States some S30,0000OO or
S40.O0O.00O and all there is TO show
for it is the blacklist mark in the
history Of this government
Such is this loyal Democrats ar
raignment of Mr.. Wilson's Mexican
policy. II is little wonder that in the
pursuit of such a policy the world
touted rule of "pitiless publicity" was
worked by contraries From the very
beginning, says Mr.. Smith, all efforts
TO learn the truth through the state
Department have been futile and fruit
less, "and from the day of President
Wilson's inauguration to the present
moment the White House gates have
been closed. with the latch key in Mr.
Tumulty's trousers pocket" When we
add. with the author, that an only too
obedient Democratic Senate and House
have seen TO it that every salient fact
in connection with the Mexican hor-
rors has been more than hidden under
the proverbial bushel, we must sadly
confess that even the deepest darkness
of Benighted Mexico has its ample ana
logue in the District of Columbia.
II needed not, however, the dream
Of Eugene Aram to remind the world
Of the inexorable truth that murder
will out" Mr.. Bryan might say that II
was best that the public should not
know. and the President of Pitiless
Publicity might seek to conduct gov
eminent under blanket. The public
will know. The public is even now be-
ginning TO know. And the lurid rev.
citations of this astounding volume may
be counted upon greatly to facilitate
the salutaTy process.

NATIVE ALASKAN RACE SAVED
Introduction Of Modern Methods OF
Sanitation by Uncle Sam Checks
Ravaaes Of Disease.

Uncle Sam has succeeded In check
ing the ravages Of disease among the
natives of Alaska. A few years ago
it was feared that the native race Of
Alaska would soon die out but this
danger has been eliminated by the in
PRODUCTION of modern methods Of SAN
itation and medical treatment. The
work has 9een carried on largely
through the bureau of education Of the
department Of the interior with the
aid Of special appropriations made BY
congress.
The government has recently opened
a well-equipped hospital at juneau for
native patients, and small hospitals
are maintained at three other centers
Of native population. A number Of
physicians and nurses have been em-
ployed for service in hospitals and In
maintaining sanitary conditions in na-
tive villages, and the teachers Of the
United States public schools in Alaska
are supplied with medicines and medl-
cal books to enable them, in the alb
sence Of a physician, to treat minor
| ailments.

SAVES indian VILLAGE
Uncle Sam Converts Settlement
Into National Monument.
Best Specimens Of Totem Poles and
Haida Architecture Found In
Abandoned Alaskan Town.

Uncle Sam has made national mon
ument out Of an old deserted Indian
village in Alaska. The "Old Kassan
National Monument" consists Of SO
acres within the Tongass national for
est and embraces the Haida Indian
village of Old Kassan, situated on
Prince Of Wales island In southeastern
Alaska.
The village was abandoned by the
Indians about ten years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are
about fifty Indian totem poles. five or
six of which are classed as exceed
ingly good specimens. In the desert
ed village there are also eight large
square buildings which were original
ly constructed according to the pecu-
liar plan of the Haida Indians, and
which, it is stated by those best quail
fed to know, represent the best speci-
mems of Haida architecture that now
exist. The largest of these buildings
Is approximately 40 by 60 feet in size
and is made entirely of round ar
carved timbers. There also remain a
number Of Indian graves with the typi-
cal small grave houses erected by the
Alaskan Indians.
"Kassan" is said to be the Indian
word which means "a pretty town." and
all reports agree that the village was
well named. The fact that the village
was occupied by the Indians for many
years explains the local name, "Old''
Kassan, by which 1t is widely known.
Since the village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been
rapidly falling into state of dilapida.
tion and decay, and a certain amount
of vandalism by tourists and souvenir
hunters renders some form Of protec-
ton essential. An examination Of the
area was made jointly by representa-
tives of the forest service and of the
interior department, and reports
strongly urging the establishment Of q
national monument were approved by
the secretaries of both departments
The Smithsonian institution strongly
endorsed the proposition for the e.
| tablishment of q national monument
The new national monument will be
protected and administered by the for
est service, as is the case with al
monuments located within the national
forests. s.---s

lea by Excellence Of Products,
Says Commercial Attaehe.

Quality is emphasized as the dis
tinguishing characteristic of American
hardware In a report by Commercial
Attache Albert Hale on hardware mar
kets in Argentina, Uruguay and Para
quay. "Upon this sales factor" he
says, sthe American manufacturer can
most surely depend for success"
Mr.. Hale states that during the past
year the sales of this class Of goods
from the United States have increased
rapidly In Argentina, and that 1t II
thought that much Of the increased
trade will be retained after the war.
He finds that American hardware man.
ufacturers are now reaping their re-
ward for having built up in Argentina
an unsurpassed reputation for their
products. Germany and England have
outsOld Americans to some extent in
this market in the past, but almost al
ways by introducing cheaper articles.
The normal imports Of hardware into
Argentina are between five and six mill
lion dollars, the total for 1913 being
$5,771,145. OF this total Germany sup
piled $1,848,807 worth, England ST.
1856, 100 worth, and the United States

ITO be on the spot" says Mr.. Hale,
'Is the only way to understand this
market. The demand Is constantly
changing, and the tendency is to pur-
chase better tools and hardware. This
tendency has been especially notice
able during the past two years, and
much Of 1t is due to the influence Of
better grades from the United States.
Therefore the manufacturer should not
try too hard to meet competition on
the basis Of price. He should sell
