these wild yarns, these papers print,
with distortions and misleading head
lines every piece of news that can be
twisted into intimating that the Unit
cd States is constantly scheming to
secure a pretext to occupy either all
Of Mexico or the Tampico oil regions
The dominant tone of the journals is
anti-American, rather than openly
pro- German, although TO peruse their
