 WASHINGTON, Sept 5-Warning Mexicans that intervention by the United States is imminent, General Salvador Alvarado, one of the leaders in the Carranza movement through out it's course, has addressed an open letter to Carranza himself and Gen eral Obregon and Gonzales in which he arraigns conditions in Mexico in seathing fashion.
 Alvarado. who attracted attention Of of the Pan Americans for his admin istration in Yucatan, estimates that at the present death list in the scat tered fighting between federal troops and rebels is 100 a day. In Mexico City alone he says. 5000 children die each year for want of proper food, clothing and shelter
 Must Change Msthods
 AlVarado is trying to make the radi- cal theories of the new Mexican con- stitution work in actual practice, de- clares the system must be changed. He declares Mexico has passed from one extreme of an irresponsible, ob structionist congress to the other-a despotfc, corrupting and utra personal presidential regime without responsi- bility or legal restraint. He excoriates the administration of justice, charging that justice is sold to the highest bid der.
 The full text of Alvarado's remark able communication has just reached the state department where officials regard it as a sign that members of Carranza's inner circle realize danger.
 Alvarado urges Carranza, Obregon and Gonzales to drop personal politics and unite with the revolutionary move ment in one great party to solve na- tion problems which he enumerates as follows
 Has Many Suggestions
 Modification of the country; organ ization of the army; settlement of in- ternal and foreign debts; settlement of claims for damages caused blythe revo- luton; the petroleum problem; or ganization of the national railways and settlement of the banking ques- ton. He calls upon Carranza. as the first chief of the revolution to lead the movement, and upon Obregon and Gonzales to resign their candidates for the presidency and support it. Abuses of the civil and military autho- fties in some regions are so outrageous, he says, he wonders the inhabitants do not rise in arms.
 So many are the causes impelling the United States to intervene in Mexico, Alvarado declares, that the conflict surely will come sooner or later unless the Mexicans know how to prevent i. with ability and patriotism. He pre- diets President Wilson will change his policy of ''watchful waiting if every protest from the United States is an swered by news of a new assault, a new assassination, or a new blowing up of train.
 Deplores Bandit Reign
 aThe states are few" says Alvarado "in which life and property in the country is not at the mercy of bandits ?
 Toward the conclusion of his letter Alvarado says:
 .sThere is no time to lose in the ar rangement of our affairs The Euro pean war is ended; the three most powerful nations of the globe are our creditors and demand an early settle ment of their accounts, and in lika manner they ask for sufficient guar antees for the lives and interests of their nationals. If we show ourselves incapable of complying with our duties they will take over the task of guard ing and protecting these lives and in terests and we know what that means. :
