“A FORTUNATE ESCAPE”

* * I * It is fortunate for this * * country, for Mexico and for * * the world that we have at the * * present time such a man as * * Woodrow Wilson in the White * * House. There is, of course, * * much yet to be done, but no * * more than there would have * * been had we Intervened, or * * recognized Huerta, and sent— * * as Ambassador Wilson advised * * —an army to uphold his au- * * thority, and conquer the north- * * ern states for him. If the * * President’s plan succeeds we * * shall have the friendship of the * * Mexicans, which we should not * * have had if any other plan * * had been followed.—lndianap- * * olis News, May 19, 1914. *
