Washington, D. c., Dec. before
Americas unexcelled army of 4,000,-
900 fighting men is materially dis
banded this country will demand and
obtain from Mexico complete guaran-
tees Of right and justice for our eiti-
zenS, and retribution and reparation
for the numerous insults and injuries
Of the past, it is said here by men In
touch with Mexican affairs and this
State Department.
War Department officials are also
very insistent that an entirely new
state of affairs be brought about in
Mexico while Americas army is at the
height of efficiency.
Army officers still consider the
Pershing expedition into Mexico when
the American commander had his
hands tied by President Wilson, as a
dark blot on the efficiency aad fight
ing record of the American army, and
are particularly anxious for a skir-
mish in Mexico to put the fear Of
America and the American army in
the hearts of the Mexican soldier.
bandit and official.
People Want Matter Settled
Hundreds of letters coming from all
parts of the United States to the Pre-
sident, the Senators and Congressman
and other officials demonstrate very
clearly that the people of this country
as a whole have not forgotten the
fiasco with Mexico of several years
ago and will firmly back the admins
tration in any steps taken to obtain a
fair deal with Carranza and the other
turbulent elements in Mexico.
Having struck the decisive blow that
destroyed the monstrous German fight
ing machine and made the world safe
for civilization, the American army
will not be scrapped until the life.
limb, wealth and happiness Of Ameri-
can citizens are absolutely safe within
the borders of our southern neighbor,
If President Wilson follows the insis-
tent urging of men familiar with
Mexicon affairs.
If the CarranZa government cannot
furnish these guarantees then the
United States should withdraw from
it is sanction and moral support, it is
urged, and satisfactory guarantees can
be obtained from stronger, less ar
rogant and more just successor.
While the national and international
gaze has been diverted for the past
three years from the intolerable state
of affairs in Mexico to the battlefields
OF the world war, conditions in Mex
leo have not improved, it is said.
Daily reports of deplorable conditions
in Mexico have escaped the public
prints because the public's attention
has been momentarily turned to mat
tiers of more immediate world impor-
lance and not because things have
cleared up in Mexico.
The CarranzaS government, the first
national example of bolshevism, still
holds sway in Mexico, permitting or
encouraging, either by it's authority or
lack of it, the harrassing of American

citizens by government agents or pre-
datory bands which the Carranza gov
eminent cannot subdue.
Conditions Growing Worse
Administration officials have fully
realized for four years that prevailing
conditions in Mexico cannot be per-
mitted to continue indefinitely and
recognize that now, when the United
States has an army of 100000 men
and all her allies arrayed around her.
is the time to secure a complete ma
tional housekeeping south OF the Rio
Grande. Should the Carranza govern
ment fail to heed the persuasive over
lures made by the American State
Department on behalf of it's wronged
citizens, the small poorly equipped
and unorganized army would be I'M
able to offer a resistance sufficient to
prove equal to a practice march for
the American army.
The standing army OF Mexico today
is between 10000 and 10000, COM
pared to its former peace strength OF
$4,000, but 1t is SO scattered that it Is
doubtful that it could ever be brought
together In an effective manner and
if brought together would be incap-
able of military mobilization.
The American army that met and
Guard regiments with all the latest
equipment and lighting methods in
Chateau Thiery, the Meuse, at Sedan
and in the Argonne, would find a break
through the Mexican army and march
over the deserts and mountains to
Mexico City but a joyous pastime.
Foreigners Suffer Most
The truth about teh situation in
Mexico is that conditions, for the
foreign resident especially, have be-
come worse theer in the past three
vars instead of better. The principal
grievances of the citizens Of the Uni
ted States and other countries in Mex
leo which have been transmittde to
their governments are:
I. The rights OF Americans are still
unexpected. Americans still hang out
the Union Jack of Great Britain to in
sure the safety of their person and
property when danger threatens be-
cause they know the Mexican fears the
wrath of the British government but
cares nothing for the twatchful wait
ing" of America, which they believe
''too proud to fight" because they have
been told SO.
2. The so-ca1led Mexican constitu-
ton of 1917 prepared by Carranza
their property rights and confiscated
robbed all inhabitants OF Mexico OF
all property owned by any person to
the Mclean government.
3. The Mexican government is prac-
tically bankrupt. While it has not re-
pudiated it's national debts like the
Russian bo1sheviki government did, it
has not paid interest on them since
1912.
4. 1t seized all the railroads in Mex
leo, in which it has always owned 81

During the first three years of the
war in Europe the Carranza govern
ment and all the people OF teh lead
ing class in Mexico were strongly
pro-German and did all that was pos
sible to oppose the allied cause. The
most notable instance of this attitude
perhaps, was the action OF President
Carranza, few days after his as
cendancy to the Constitutional presi-
dency Of Mexico, on May 1, 1916, in
proposing to all the neutral nations
that they stop al shipments to the
belligerent countries. AS Germany was
then cut off from all trade with out
side nations this proposal was plainly
aimed at the allies and had for its
principal purpose the cutting off Of
shiments OF oil and copper from Mex
leo to the European allies land the

have been extremely difdcult to have
won the war.
