Alvarado, who attracted a ! '. en; ion of all the pan Americas for his administration adminis-tration in Yucatan, estimates that the ptrsent death list in the scattered liejil-iliU liejil-iliU between federal troops ami rebels is b.ll a line In Mexico Citv alone, he says. Soon ehildrcn die eaeh year for want of proper lood, clothing and shelter. Ahnrado, after trinp: to make tho radical theories of the new Mexican constitution work in actual practice, declares the system must be changed. I He declares Mexieo has passed from on.' extreme of an irresponsible, obstrue- j tionist ronyress, to the other a despotic, des-potic, oorru jit inn and ultrapersonal pres- itlential regime without responsibility or le(jal restraint.

The full text of Alvarado 's remarkable remark-able eominnnicatinn has just reached the state department, where officials rc-liard rc-liard it as a siyn that members of Car-ranza's Car-ranza's inner circle nealiz.e dancer. Alvarado ures Carranza, Obretfon and Gonzales to drop piersonal policies and unite with the revolutionary element ele-ment in a ureal party to solve national problems, which he ..'numerates as follows: fol-lows: I'acittcation of the country, orcaniza-tion orcaniza-tion of the army, settlement of internal and foreign debts, settlement of claims for damages caused by the revolution, the iotrn!t'itm problem, organization of the national railways and settlement of the banking question.

So many are tho causes impelling the United States to intervene in Mexico. Alvnrado declares, that the eontlior surely will come sooner or later, unless the Mexicans know how to provent it with ability and patriotism. .He predicts pre-dicts President Wilson will change his policy of "watchful waiting " if every protest from the Tailed States is answered an-swered by news of a new assault, a now assassination, or a new blowing up of a train. "The states are few.'' snys Alvarado, Al-varado, "in which life and properly in the country are not at the mercy of bandits. ' ' |
