what President Wilson has often i'm
piled in private, has stirred I'm a

Baker said, they have forgotten our

Independence, and the president has
not forgetting neither" He admitted
that the Mexicans were a rascally lot,
but said that the patriots of tn
American Revolution looted churches
and drove ministers from them on
their march to Valley Forge. He
said: we had revolution and

American women. and it Is expected
that other chapters of this society
will take similar action throughout
the country.
