 W. hope the general is right He ls travelling in the Tnited states. and during the two months of his tour will be accompanied by Major Harvey M Miller IT. g A. former teacher = spanish at West Point
 The fact that the American govern ment tenders an official military es- cort to the Mexican general indicates that more friendly relations than those of a year ago nave been de- VeloDed.
 There is no reason why t6e friendly feeling between Nexieans and Amerf- cans should not be IS sincere as that totween Canada and the United States.
 The general saya Mexico wants no more fighting, but wants friendship with the United States instead We'll go 505o on that proposition
