IN MEXICO
WORSE THAN REPORTED
WRITTEN SAYS IN NEW BOOK

on the outskirts of Mexico City
wives, In an automobile party, were
robbed and their chauffeurs sent
into town to bring back a ransom
of $500 for each member of the
party before they were released.
While chaotic conditions obtain in
Mexico, Mr.. Chamberlain said, he
was OF the opinion that the situation
was not hopeless. He said he had
possible solution" to the problem
but that 1t would not "countenance
the backing by the United States of
any OF the dominant class in Mexico
for that class is universally corrupt.
hold a brief not for any special
interest" he said, mot even for the
americans murdered or despoiled in
Mexico. nor for the millions who
starve under perennial oppression
but for the right that lies in every
man to revolt against outrage
wherever he finds It."
Would Not Give "SoIutfon''
The former consul general would
not say what his solution" Is other
than to say that 1t embodied the
idea of the United States sending
Mexico IAN ultimatum without re-
course to arms" and that in 1t lay
the possibility of establishing once
for all "such conditions as exist in
Cuba and the Philippines" He de-
clared that the Latin "incrustation"
had been the "damnation of Mexi-
co.. that over and over again the
100000 or 1000, 900 Latins had
used the ignorant populace of a.
100000 Indians in a sort of game of
leap-frog to vault from the bent
back of the peon into the saddle of
government"
I'VE are at grips with past mas
ters in the Turkish art of procrasti-
nation" said Mr.. Cham berlain.
Left to themselves the present
Mexican authorities will no more
than they have during the past two
years. take a step toward a rap
prochment with the United States,
nor will they stop the murder of
American citizens nor relinquish a
strangling grip on foreign-ow
properties, nor subjugate complete
ly the innumerable bands Of out
laws which almost daily give the lie
to government claims of pacifica-
ton.
"The present government has
tried to establish a popular illusion
that it stands by Madero's altruistic
principles. Nothing could be further
from the truth. Madero never had
chance to institute any factor of
government whatever. During his
brief tenure of power he was the
most bewildered and Intellectual
mortal on earth. The present rul-
ers of his unhappy country have
profited by his ineptitude only to
the extent of holding up his inoper-
ative dogmas as a screen to a gov
ernment that stands by the grace of
banditry, pillage, international af-
fronts, race-hatred and the major
tenets of Bolshevism. At its heart
is eating the same cancer that has
brought death to everyone of its
long line of predecessors, graft on
such a scale as is beyond the con-
ception of the Anglo-Saxon mind"

New York, Oct. 1o.-George Ag-
new Chamberlain, novelist and big
game hunter, former United States
consul general to Mexico, who in a
cable message to Washington last
August l relinquished a career COW
ering seventeen years in the con-
sular service to devote his time to
writing" was found by a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press
here to-day busily engaged in revis-
ing the final proofs of his forthcom-
ing book, Not All the Kings
Horses" which, he said, is fTesco
portraying actual conditions in the
country south of the Rio Grande.
Mr.. Chamberlain served the
American government at Bahia, Rio
Janeiro, Pernambuco, Lourenco
Marques and at Mexico City, going
to the last named post in May 1917.
His experiences in the Mexican
capital, covering a period of two
years, he said, and what he regard
ed as an individual moral obliga-
ton" to tell the American people
the facts, precipitated his resigna-
ton. Since that time he has been
in practical seclusion in New York.
He said he had no political or COM
mercial affiliations whatever. that
he wrote as q mere American citizen
and that the State Department was
in nowise implicated in his "radi-
cal private views"
Worse Than Reports Tell
Mr. Chamberlain insisted that
conditions in Mexico were worse
than the news reports indicate" He
cited the case of a train carrying
eighty leading citizens of Mexico be-
ing held up by bandits in the sub
urbs of Puebla, the industrial capi-
tai of the country, of the coaches
being burned and the ousted occu-
pants, men, women and children,
"driven like cattle for forty miles"
by the robbers and then turned loose
to wander in delirium to their
homes. He told of another 'holdup
