MEX|CANS GROW MORE FRIENDLY
 ID AMERICANS

publicity campaign is showing re- suits in Mexico. The wide spread dissemination of facts concerning the war aims and accomplishments
 of the United States are, according
 to foreigners long resident here,
 bringing about a change of senti-
 ment, which, if not characterizable
 as love for Americans, may at least
 be called respect.
 The effect of the Allied blacklist
 becomes more noticeable daily The
 Gemans apparently have much less money than formerly to spend on propaganda. German firms, forced
 to deal in hidden ways to secure even the smallest imports from the States, are less prosperous. Arro- gance of German officials and busi- nessmen in public places is decreas- ing. Since it became known that four members of the American club, alone in the building at the time, evicted thirteen Germans who in vaded the club, there have been no further outbreaks.
 Posters, pamphlets, reading matter for newspapers, war photographs for window display, daily official cable reports, reading rooms, moving pie lures and authoritative statements by American officials on inter- national questions, are among the means adopted by the United States government to change the long standing dislike for Americans that has prevailed in Mexico.
 Through these various channels the war aims of the United States, its accomplishments in the raising of a huge army, the sending of a million and three-quarters men over seas in record time, it's achievments in building a merchant marine, it's enormous war expenditures, and the unity of its people, are being brought to the attention of the in- telligent Mexican public in a way never before attempted. The cam paign also is having it's effect on the American residents who, armed with facts and encouraged by news of American successes in battle, are doing vigorous personal missionary work -....
 Another effect of the truth cam paign is the disclosure of the falsity of the news reports regarding Ger many's successes and aims, for which Teuton propagandists are respons- ible,. It has been shown that the German papers published here do not receive the news in the way they that it is taken from American papers smuggled across the border at Laredo, distorted in the rewriting and then telegraphed to German papers in the capital and other cities.
 Outward signs of the increase in pro-ally sentiment are the number of newspapers seeking news reports from American sources the amount of space given in periodicals to AL lied war news, the increase in the of posters that are not mutilated or defaced, the additions to the ranks of pro-ally publications of numerous new periodicals and the growing popularity of Allied moving picture films.
 When President Wilson, General Pershing, the American flag and marching American soldiers first some time ago on the screen in a down town motion pie ture theater there was protest. ] Recently, in theater holding more than 4,O00 spectators, in a poor dis trict where anti-American sentiment 1 has been high, there was not when virtually the same l characters flickered on the screen. | In fact, one ardent pro-ally Mexi- | can had to be forcibly prevented i from making an anti-G erman speech. l
