pointment as ambassador to Mexico
three years ago about fifty Ameri-

out single prosecution by the Mexi-

of no revolutionary leader capable of

ment
Fletcher said he had not noticed
any special 9nti-American feeling in

other foreigners probably accounted
for greater number Of outrages ef-
fecting Americans.

three years, Fletcher said: "Oh, yes,
Columbus has been raided."
He said. among other things, that
agencies by which the United States
can transact business with Mexico had
bettered the situation.
Many outrages against Americans,
he said. were committed by bandits
who have been pursued. but IT j. diff

the man who committed the murder.
Representations in each case, he said,
had been made to the Carranza gov
