''Dick said the doctors had forbid

drivers if they ever stopped to think
how many accidents have been caused
by a blowout while a machine was
running at high rate of speed. He
cites the fact that large percentage
of accidents at race courses are caus-

OF all the books on Mexico none is
more enlightening than Mrs. Edith
O'Shaughnessy's "A Diplomats Wife
in Mexico" Mrs. O'Shaughnessy is
the wife of Nelson 'Shaughnessy,
who took charge of United States
affairs when President Wilson recall
ed our very worthy ambassador, Henry
Lane Wilson. This recall of this trust
worthy public servant, one who was
eminently fitted for the place and the
occasion, was the greatest blunder in
Woodrow Wilson's Mexican policy.
Napoleon once said, speaking of a
generals act, 1T is worse than a
crime-it is blunder!" This blunder
Of President Wilson's has cost the
lives of a hundred thousand men. the
death and suffering of thousands Of
women and children and the loss of
over $500,0O0.00O Of property. While
the murders went on and the homes
and property of American citizens
were destroyed by the wholesale. the
people of the United States, for the
most part, looked on with amazement,
and blandly said, "Oh, what beauti-
full president! He is keeping us out
of war!" To those who appealed to
this government for help, President
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan replied that
''our policy does not cover the pro-
lection of American business interests
in Mexico" These two Statesmen"
advised all Americans to leave the
county. They said, they went there
of their own accord, they took the
risk and they must put up with the
consequences" What a vivid illus
tration of the weakness Of the nation
al spirit in the United States! 1t was
common remark on American streets
that the Mexicans should be left to
fight it out and that they should be
allowed to buy arms freely so that the
end might come soon! President Will
son under this pressure did lift the
embargo on arms and subjected our
own citizens to the murderous war
fare of Villa and his advisor Car
rama. He put the innocent Mexican
populace and the thousands of Ameri
cans in Mexico between the upper and
neither stones and there they were
crushed while the President was in
sisting that Huerta should salute the
American flag!
Hamelton Fyfe, special correspond
ent of the London Times, in his book,
THE Real Mexico" relates this:
An official Of the United States I'M
migration Department was arrested by
four soldiers without any warrant. He
was marched off to the hills to be
shot. He ran away and was shot
through the stomach. He managed
to crawl to the Civil Police Post where
they let him lie for twentyfour hours
unattended. He was taken by a
British Consul and released upon the
oath of the Consul that he was a
British subject!

his government had done about it,
