their homes destroyed. 1t is long
story and so you and Ruth will have
to be real quiet so / can tell you as
much as possible.
81 shall start after the summer
of 1912, the first year that Wood
row Wilson became president. That
summer had been quiet in Mexico
but in October, General Felix Diaz,
nephew of the former President
Diaz, led a revolt against the gov
eminent which was then headed by
President Madero. He failed at
that time but after being sentenced
to death was released and again
went after Madero. The next Feb
ruary, General Huerta who had
been helping Madero, deserted and
the result was the arrest of Presi-
dent Madero. While Madero and
Saurez, who had been his vice-pres-
ident, were being taken from the

dts crossed into Texas and raided
American towns. Villa kept up his
attacks upon Americans and in
March, 1916 he attacked the army
post at Columbus, New Mexico, kill
ing II persons, some soldiers and
burning and stealing from many
buildings. The American women
had to be removed from the town to
safety. This kept up all along the
border until the Americans were in
danger of their lives at all times.
Everyone wanted us to send our
troops into Mexico and stop this
terrible thing but President Wilson
refused to be Crushed and kept on
with what he called 'watchful wait
ing
FINALLY General Pershing was
sent into Mexico with 1000 men
with orders to capture Villa, dead or
alive. He would have done so, but
was ordered back before he had the
chance. On October 10, 1917, after
dozens of Americans had been killed
American towns raided and homes
burned Mr.. Wilson recognized Cen
Grail Carranza as president of Mex
leo. But the trouble was not over.
Day after day these outrages con-
tinue and Mr.. Wilson sends notes
of warning and CarranZa promises
to punish the guilty Mexicans.
From January. 23 to July 81, 1918,
there were 81 outrages committed in
the oil regions of Mexico. The
most recent outrage is the case Of
William o. Jenkins, consular agent
at Puebla, Mexico, who was kidnap-
ped by bandits last October and
whose friends had to pay $3.50, 900
to get him away. Later he was
arrested and put in a Mexican pris-
on because Carranzistas said he
helped the bandits to kidnap him.
He is still held for trial and al
though Secretary Lansing has sent
o lot of notes demanding his re-
lease CarranZa seems to laugh at
the matter. / Just learned that two
American oil men have been muir
dered near Tampico, which makes
total OF is 10 be murdered since
April 1917. And the first word to
reach Washington about these last
two murders came through private
sources, our state department, which
should keep in touch with these
matters at all times, not learning
about them until afterwards.
so you see children, this Mexi-
can situation is a disgrace to our
country. If we had a president
who from the very first would have
given Mexico to understand we
would stand no nonsense, we could
have avoided all this trouble and
these terrible murders. AS 1t is
now, the only hope is in the next
president who will come into office
in March of next year. So long as
Woodrow Wilson, or men of his
who are willing to take the easiest
way, sit in the white house we can
expect nothing but trouble from
Mexico. For that reason, II for no
other, every voter should cast his
vote at the election in November
for a man who is a fighter and will
make Mexico and every other coun-
try respect the Stars and Stripes
and the country for which that
great country stands"
