la sought chance for revenge, final
ly overtaking and killing the Gov
ernor. Then he organized the In
dams and offered his services to Ma
dero in the revolution. From tha
time he became the Robin Hood o.
Mexico. Pancho Villa, instead of tn,
conception we had of him thru thu
American newspapers, was not {
cold-hearted, murderous villain. HI
was bandit, but his activities wer.
confined principally to redressing the
wrongs of the oppressed.
Then the unexpected happens
Diaz voluntarily retires from the
Presidency and ultimately Madero be
comes his successor. Madero was an
idealist The retirement of Diaz did
not carry with it the Diaz regime
The administration was still the con-
trolling power, and Madero failed to
enforce his reforms. He had Huerta
and others to deal with and finally
Madero was slain. But Villa was
still a power that had not been con-
quered. So he pursued his enemies
with relentless vigor until CarranZa
was made President. The Carranza
administration halted between the
old and the new forces, until the Car
rama retired to be succeeded by OBJ
RECON, who was elected by decided
popular vote. Obregon Immediately
recognized the Villa forces and Villa
was given large plantation, home
of comfort and plenty, and his coun-
sci sought in all the important affairs
of government.
So that is the history of Villa,
whom we are taught to despise, and
the Mexican revolution. DR.. Monsen
vouches for the accuracy of this
record. He came to New York during
the hostilities in Mexico and sought
space in the New York papers for the
truth about Mexico, but they re-
fused. and the light of facts was sup
pressed.
An incident was related by DIR.
Monsen of personal experience with
Villa. He was advised of some rich
deposits in some of the remote Sec
tions and that he might make some
important discoveries there, but in
for passes he was warned
that he was exposing himself and his
body guard to great danger. But he
protested that he did not want the
protection of a guard, simply the
right to travel with party of Indian
guides, which was granted. This
party met him at one of the outposts.
The next morning they had every
thing packed and DR.. Monsen discov-
cred one of his old drummer friends,
a German, who asked him where he
was going and If he knew who was
leader of his guides. What was his
when told that it was
Villa. But with all his fears he
would not retrace his steps, and the
following events proved the true
character of Pancho Villa, who was
LII that could be expected of any 10y
II guide or friend.

On Monday afternoon, DIR. Frank

he biggest subject of the present
leeting and the speaker one of the
lost profound scholars and thinkers.
