because they feel they are insult
ficientiy protected. Senator Pre-
Ian. California, declared today In
an interview.
Phelan made this assertion in urg-
ing this government to take a strong
hand to safeguard American rights
south OF the Rio Grande.
IN view of the critical oil situa-
ton. and establishment of a policy
Of the world. both In the United
States and out. IL possible. our gov
eminent. as a means of natural pro-
lection. should take a positive stand
in Mexico. and see that American
interests are protected in the most
emphatic and conclusive way" Phe-
Ian declared.
Japan is buying claims OF discour-
aged Americans in Mexico who do
not hope for any protection. As
soon as this government vigorously
takes an interest in the matter.
Americans I'm Mexico will be given
renewed encouragement. and the
United States will be able to make
up deficits in its oil supply.
Urges Quick Action
This is a matter of SO much Inn
portance that there should be no de-
lay"
Phelan's statement followed his re.
ceipt OF n report from Sam II. Man.

other countries"
The department of state has, on
more than one occasion. made effec-
i've representations TO other govern
ments relative to property rights of
citizens OF the United States" he
said.
This alene will do much to en-.
courage and give assurance to Amer.
lean nationals to go abroad for pro.
duction and to protect their rights
on Investments in foreign countries.
Those who do not favor American
Intervention in Mexico declare that
American oil interests are attempt.
ing to force the government to go in.

constant terror in the Petrograd jail.
All around me were drunkenness,

sible--the guards looked on cynically
while l fought against insult and

and / knew It. Why did not Alexis
come?
on the fourth day he did come.
His face told me what he had been
thru. To me 1t was like the return
of life itself. He had searched every
Jail In the city but this. He had
given me up for dead, yet had almost
hoped for my death in contrast to
graver things.
Money changed hands, was free
I could scarcely believe that the
nightmare was ended.
A few days later I ventured on
the street for the first time after my
release. The day being cold, i wore
q lambskin overcoat, purchased in
my actress days.
A band of soldiers surrounded me.
The coat was torn from my shoulders.
'"rake the dress, tool" cried voice
in the rear. / pleaded to return to
my apartment, where l could give
them the dress. They crowded closer
and seized me. struggled and
screamed.
Suddenly came a sharp order. They
dropped me and left What had
drawn their attention elsewhere ! do
not know.
After this Alexis decided ] would
be safer out of Petrograd. / went
for a time TO my mother in the
Crimea. Finally came word from my
husband We must leave Russia.
