In a speech attacking tho pension policy of fie government, Representative Dies, Democrat of Texas, warned against Mexican Intervention. If there Is anything that ought to make a prudent man pauso ln this Moxlca'n situation, It Is tho thought of the pensions, ho said. When jou unfurl tho American flag ln Mexico It will stay thero until the doomsJiiy book Is opened. There will be no On-banlzlng On-banlzlng of Mexico, It will have to be divided up Into sister states of this Union for Its contiguous territory. Rep.
