EGAHUCH has been said and written
w from time 10 time about the
conditions in the drouth stricken dis
trict Of west Texas. but the half has
never been told" said J. X. Palmer, Of
Andrews. This has been one Of the
weaIthiest sections Of the country and
its people are so proud that they have
elected TO suffer rather than tell their
true story to the nation. Again. those
men interviewed by newspaper re-
porters are the ones who have enough
to get out. while the real sufferers
are not heard outside OF their own
townships. Again It has always been
the policy of nine men out Of ten TO
give the most favorable report pos
sible and most Of them DO not hesi-
tate TO color statements in order to
make their country appear prosper

and Hayti, Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, China, Slam
and Liberia broke relations with Germany and many OF
them since have declared war against Germany. OF eight
remaining Inflammation republics, all save possibly Mex
leo, Colombia and Venezuela have shown a most benevo-
lent neutrality toward the United States and the allies.
Recently, Spain, whose government had been markedly
prO-German, showed the influence Of the colossal war prep
arations of the United States and elected to resent the con-
tinuing depredations of German submarines against Span
ish shipping. Spain IS now turning pro-aly and IS some
what close to declaring war against Germany.
The Czecho-Slovaks have been recognized as a nation
atty and today a CzechO-SlOvak army Is fighting for the
Of Russia. It is the backbone of true Russian
hope, as a matter of fact The United States was first to
recognize the Czecho-Slovaks as a people whose national as
piration was worthy Of recognition and assistance.
All these things have resulted from the entrance of the
United States into the war. What foIlows2 A WEAK

Telling Mexico The Truth

EVERY sympathizer with the cause of the allies must be
l. glad that finally the work Of educating the people Of
Mexico to a knowledge of the aims and aspirations Of the
allies has been carried forward with such success that It
has oveIbaanced the lying German propaganda As a re
suit, the Mexican people are awakening to the truth and
that is what we have always wanted. Not that any aid
from Mexico in fighting Germany IS expected or Partcu-
larry desired; the allies have plenty Of men, materials and
everything else for that. But we would like to have Mex
leans perceive the issues clearly, knowing their SympathleS
cannot fail to be affected thereby.
That is what is happening now. Masses Of Mexican
people cannot read, Of course, but illustrated booklets, pic
lures Individually, and moving pictures are bringing the
facts before them f~oTcefuly and indisputably. When one
sees the ruins of q Belgian city, its people ragged and
emacated, Germans in charge, one knows who destroyed
the city and subjected the inhabitants to misery.
Pictures and reading matter have been and are being
circulated all through Mexico, with the active cooperation
Of French, British and American residents and are being
received with the hvehest interest. As a result, there has
been d marked change In sentiment in Chihuahua City, that
city being an example Of a general condition The Ger
man influence used to be very strong there. Recent Ger
man protests against the showing of cinema films depict
ing the horrors of the LuSitania tragedy were unavailing
with the authorities and at last reports, the picture was
still drawing crowded houses.
At Mexico City, reading rooms have been established
by the British, French and Americans and they are well
filled every day. It is estimated that the number Of pa
irons Of the three reading rooms totals upward Of 5000.
And those who read and look at the pictures 90 away and
tell their friends what they have seen
The work is going on all over Mexico, among all classes
Of people, and its success is an exempification Of the fact
that a proper presentation Of the truth viii always prevail
over d campaign Of deception
