WARRINGTON, Sept. 5.-warning Mex
leans that Intervention by the United
States is imminent, Gen. Salvador Al
varado. one of the leaders in the Car
ranza movement throughout its course.
had addressed an open letter to Car
rama himself and Gems. Obregon and
Gonzales, in which he arraigns condi-
tons In Mexico in soathing fashion.
Avarado, who attracted attention Of
all the Pan-Americans for his admins
tration of Yucatan, estimates that the
present death list In the scattering fight-
ing 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.
Alvarado, after trying to make the
radical theories OF the new Mexican con-
stitution work in actual practice, de-
clared the system must be changed. He
asserts that Mexico has passed from one
extreme of an irresponsible. obstruc-
ZIONIST Congress to the other--a despotic,
corrupting and ultra personal Presiden-
tial regime without responsibility or
legal restraint. He excoriates the adj
ministration of justice, charging that It
is sold to the highest bidder.

Pleads for United Mexico.
Alvarado urges Carranza, Obregon
and Gonzales to drop personal politics
and unite with the revolutionary element
In q great party to solve national prob
lens. which he enumerates as follows:
Pacihcation Of the country. organiza-
ton of the army, settlement OF Internal
and foreign debts, settlement of claims
for damages caused by the revolution,
the petroleum problem. organization oil
the national railways and settlement OF
the banking question. He calls upon
Carranza, as the First Chief of the rev.
olution, to lead the movement, and upon
Obregon and Gonzales to resign their
candidates. for the Presidency and sup
port It. Abuses OF the civil and military
authorities in some regions are so out
rageous, he says. that 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 It
with ability and patriotism. He pre-
diets President Wilson will change his
policy of "watchfui waiting II every
protest from the United States is an

new assn ssination. or a new blowing up

THE States are few" says Alvarado,
"in which life and property in the
country are not at the mercy OF bandits.
Toward the conclusion of his letter
Gen. Alvarado says:
There In no time to lose In the ar
rangement of our affairs. The European
war is ended the three most powerful
nations of the globe are our creditors
and demand an early settlement OF their
| accounts and in like manner they ask
for sufficient guarantees for the lives
ana interests of their nationals. II we
show ourselves incapable Of complying
with our duties they will take over the
task of guarding and protecting these
lives and interests, and we know what
that means"
