manner in which Mir. French de-
scribes it,
After spending most pleasant
evening at Nuevo Laredo the party
returned 10 the train and retired for
the night, while they We're being car
ried further south. They were awak-
ened 10 find themselves at Monterey
on the following morning.
Here they again left the train and
in autos We're taken on a sightseeing
trip through the city. They visited
the famous gardens which >are found
throughout Mexico and enjoyed the
glorious sights. At one of the gardens
the Mexican representatives, presented
the feminine members of the party
with boquets of beautiful flowers.
During the journey en- route news
paper men Of Mexico boarded the train
and asked of each member his or her
opinion of Mexico, it's people and GUS
toms, and whether or not they fav-
ored American recognition of tho
present Mexican administration. The
replies in all cases were filled with
the greatest praise for the people OF
the country, ana appreciation OF the
many courtesieS and the wonderiul
hospitality which the Mexicans were
rsplaying to the representatives of
10 American people. All the delegates
favored immediate recognition. These
interviews were wired 10 their Var1-
Gus papers by the correspondents, and
appeared in the Mexico City papers on
the day the party arrived there.
From Monterey the party proceeded
to Saltillo, where they We're given an
other hearty reception and were re-
ceived by the governor of the state
and the mayor Of the city. both OF
whom delivered most eloquent adj
dresses of welcome.
The next stop was at Queratero'
where the Americans visited the tomb
Of Macmillan, the Austrian who had
at one time attempted to rule Mex.
leo. but who was finally overcome and
executed at that city.
Obregop Meets Party
From Queratero the delegation jour
neyed TO Mexico City. They were
met at the station by General Avaro
Obregon, and his wife and official
party.
1T is well to note" states Mr..
French, that President obregon is
sincerely desirous of establishing
friendly relations with the United
States as he realizes the great bene-
fits the country over which he rules
will gain. Throughout our stay in
Mexico City his entire interest seemed
10 be for the welfare Of the AIneri-
can party, and he personally saw 20
it that we were given the best
treatment possible.
During the reception accorded the
delegates by President Obregon, a
group of photographers thronged the
station platform and took pictures OF
the event.
Immediately after the reception, the
delegates were taken in autos 10 hotels
in which reservations had been made
for them. The Hotel Princess, one OF
the finest in Mexico had been reserved
solely for the use of the Americans
while many reservations had alsC
been made for members of the party
at the Hotel Regis. At both hotels
the Americans were given the use Of
everything gratis, and We're not per-
mitted to pay any money for theii
rooms, meals, cigars, telegraphing Of
even postage stamps for the thous
ands of cards and letters sent to the
states. The Mexican government shoul
dered all the expenses, feeling tha'
they were the hosts of the American
delegation and therefore should fol
low the policy which they did. Al
American chef prepared the meals a
the Hotel Princess.
The choicest of foods, and wine
were served and the best Of everything
was arranged for use OF the guest
of honor.
During the entire stay in Mexic
City the delegation was treated will
