LAREDO, TEXAS, OPPOSITE
WAITING ARMS OF OASIS

LAREDO, Tex, Dec. 27.-This
town, whose location on the Rio
Grande long since gave it information
al importance in American relations
with Mexico, today finds that its
strategic position has afforded it new
ssibilities-wonderfu possibilities.
For this is one point where Dry Am
erica may hustle across a bridge and
be. received into the waiting arms of
Wet Mexico
''Stop. First Chance is the impell-
ing command posted over the Lopez
saloon to greet the eyes of the traveller
after he has paid the toll charges on
the Mexican side of the international
bridge. But it is not the last chance,
by any means. Nueva Laredo, the
Mexican end of this Texas city, aims
to provide full accommodation for
parched throatss from the north.
An unofficial census gives Nueva
Laredo a population of $4,000. An
other census, probably more accurate,
credits it with thirty saloons.
The appeal to sentiment is made
just as urgent on the return to the
American side of the border. Letters
just as bold as those seen on the ar
rival proclaim that it is the Last
Chance" again requesting cessation
of motion. The Mexican eye also is
seized. La Ultima Oportunidad" is
the warning which it receives.
The American citizen in Laredo, SO
far as his own personal liberty is
concerned, assumes an attitude of in
difference toward the situation across
the line. He wanders over now and
then, he explains. but this nearby wet
ness has become an old story to him
and it doesn't excite him. Besides
Texas has been dry for more than
