U. S. SOLDIERS IN

UY MORNING. JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WisEl
Topeka, Kans., Sept. 14.--Mrs.
A. A. Schmidt, wife of local meat
merchant, who recently returned
from a visit to relatives sin Ger
many, says unrest intensified by
lack of employment in the large
cities, food and fuel shortage and
extremely high prices for the me-
cessities Of life are conditions pre-

HISTORY WILL HAVE TO
STOP REPEATING ITSELF
IF MEXICO Is PACIFIED

| Gently attached himself to Carran-
zas military escort, reported 10 his
superior officers, including Gen.
eral Gales, that the aged president
had taken his own life when he
found himself attacked by a super
Tor force. Herrera lateradmitted
in open court that he intended 10
deliver Carranza to his enemies, IN
spite of the fact that he had de-
clared himself his follower only a
few days before. He denied, how
ever, that he had anything 10 do
with Carranza's death. and insisted
that the president had committed
suicide. Herrera repeated mis- story
when l interviewed him later. and
introduced me to his cousin, Major
Ernesto Herrero, who he said gave
him the information upon which
he based his official report that the
fugitive had been self-slain.
Where Carranza Died.
on June 6, after a fiftoen-mile
horseback ride over rugged noun
tain roads-in some places so
rough that | hat to get down and
lead my horse-I inspected the hut
where CarranZa had met his death
| happened to be the only news
paper man to visit the scene. which
is in a somewhat out-of-the way
part of the Puebla sierra. The peU-
pie of that region secuted the sui
eide theory, and the concentration
of the bullet holes in the corner of
the hut where Carranza had lain
sleeping indicated that the attack
i've lxf vxTh
cot was and directed the firing to-
ward that spot. Furthermore, the
nature of Carranza's wounds re-
futed the suicide theory.
The question is frequently asked
me-has Mexico really settled don
for good? students of Mexican h! .
tory will find it difficult to be opu-
mistic on this point. Moreover,
when Mexico settles down, she will
also have to settle up-settle up
her International Obligations, In the
form of claims by other govern
ments for injuries to foreigners and
to their property during the last
decade of revolution. Then there Is
the problem of reconstruction-the
rebuilding Of ten years of wastage
and pillage by rebels.
Whau of Mexico's Future?
Can Mexico reverse her history
overnight, and learn the lesson of
self government, which means self
restraint? After keeping the coun-
try more or less pacified for more
than twenty years, Porfirio Diaz
eventually was ousted. President
Madero was assassinated. President
Victoriano Huerta was exiled Car
rama was assassinated. What fate
awaits President Elect Obregon?
Only last Sunday the Associated
Press carried the fol- DIS
patch from san Anto'
"A plot to assassina;e General
Alvaro Obregon, president ELECT OF
the republic of Mexico, and Gen.
erals Elias Gales, Francisco Ser
rano and Benjamin Hill, has been
unearthed in the United States, ac-
cordIng to an announcement made |
here tonight in Mexican circles
friendly to Obregon. 1t was stated
that a prominent Mexican, friend |
ly to the president-elect, left San
Antonio today for Mexico City to
warn General Obregon and the |
other three generals of the plot"
Obregon may succeed in pacify- |
ing the country and keeping it per-
manently pacified. But if he does, |
history will have to stop repeat
ing itself.
