The True Story of Woodrow Wilson _By DAVID LAWRENCE. CRAPTER XX1. Why Carranza Was Finally Recox- nized—The German Factor in the Mexican Problem. The Mexican question’ waa fnci- dental to larger phases o: world diplomacy, and circumstancew beyond the contrel of the Washingten gov- ernment often dictated a course of action distasteful to Woodrow Wilson himself. Tor instance, when a boatload of American sailors were arrested on the streets in Tampico and Rear Admiral Mayo demanded a salutevas well as an apology, Mr. Wilson would have preferred to ignore the affair and ac- cept the written apology which was extended by the local Mexican com- mander at Tampico. When the news became public, however, that a de- mand Yor a salute had been made the President could not turn back. Much against his will, he supported the action of Mayo. I remember how Irritated he was when he _received the news of the Tampico incident. We were at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., where President Wilson had taken Mrs. Wilson in the hope that her health would improve. He re- turfied- to Washington at once, and in the next few days a crisis in Mex- lcan relations developed, the climax coming in the sudden seizure of Vera Cruz as a reprisal for the insult to American bluejackets. Did Not Expect Bloodshed. Mr. Wilson did not issue the order for the seizure of Vera Cruz with the idea that bloodshed would follow. He had been given the idea in the re- ports from John Lind, his envoy, that the customshouse at Vera Cruz coulu be seized. without the loss of a life. Resistance from the Mexicans was not expected, but the whole mancuver, with its consequent loss of Mexiéan and American lives, made upon Mr. Wilson's mind a profound Impression of tragedy. He could not rid himself of the thought that Mex- ico was a weak country and that the United States might have found some other way of satisfying pride. Al- though there were interests desirous of intervention and Mr. Wilson was criticized for not ordering the Ameri- #an expeditionary force to proceed to Mexico City, no such plan ever re- ‘ceived his sanction. He believed there was such a thing as a nation too proud to fight a neighbor as weak and helpless as Mexico, however irri- tating the cause. Woodrow Wilson's forbearance with respect to Mexico in latter days was to no small extent prompted by his regret over the Vera, Cruz tragedy. The author atttended the conference at Niagara Falls in the early part of 1914, in which the diplomatic Tepresentatives of Argentine, Brazil and Chile endeavored to mediate as between . the Huerta administration and the United States government. The elimination of Huerta was a foregone conclusion. Mr. Wilson did contribute toward that end, and to Bome extent was of. issistance to the Carranza faction in achieving mili- tary supremacy when thé Huerta Tegime came to an end. Influenced by European War. What might have happened if the European war had not broken out in July, 1914, cannot be conjectured, because the entire policy of the United States toward Mexico from that time forward was influenced again by the relation of the Mexi- can problem to world events. It is true that pressure from the Euro- Pean powers for a settlement of pend- ing problems with Mexico eased up , considerably with their minds con- centrated on the large developments of world war. Hardly had Carranza, with his lieutenant, Gen. Obregon, reached Mexico City and begun to establish a government, when the disaffection of Pancho Villa in the morth frustrated hopes of internal peace below the Rio Grande. It was not until the summer of 1915 that the Carranza faction was able to =chieve ‘dominance and mastery from a military viewpoint. Hoping again to enlist the co- operation of the Latin American gov- ernments, Mr. Wilson, through Sec. retary Lansing, laid before the diplo- matic representatives of the Pan- American countries a proposal where- by elections might be held in Mexico and a compromise effected between the Carranza and Villa forces. It was at this point that the author, by reason of his close friendship with some members of the diplomatic corps and his familiarity with the Mexican viewpoint, was in a posi- tion to bring together one of the Carranza envoys and some of the Latin American diplomats, most of whom took the stand that until all factions in Mexico invited outside mediation it would be futile to. at- tempt to supervise an election or negotiate a settlement. Finally the author was assigned by the Associ- ated Press to visit Vera Cruz and discuss with Gen. Carranza the pro- posal that had been made by the Unpited States government for a peace conference in which all the chief- tains in Mexico would participate. Both President Wilson and Secretary Lansing were apprised of the, K au- thor’s mission; in fact, they were instrumental in.having the journey brought about, their {dea being that one who had the confidence of the Mexican authorities and who was in no way corinected with the United States government might be able to SPECIAL NOTICES. present impartially a view of the situation that would appeal to Gen. Carranza, Looked to German Al Several days' conference at Vera Cruz developed some ‘interesting in- formation, the principal item of which was that Gen. Carranza, with the typical adroitness of his Spanish mind, sensed the importance of Ger- man aid, particularly as it appeared to him likely that Mexico could play the United States against Germany and the allies against Germany, and thus obtain the support desired and ultimately recognition. The author discovered on that trip to Vera Cruz in 1915 an intimacy altogether too close between the Ger- man minister to Mexico, who had all but recoghized the existing govern- ment, and Gen. Carranza himself. It was a symptom of what developed in 1917 when the famous Zimmerman note was intercepted and the plot of the German foreign office to link Mexico with Japan against the United States was exposed. Returning to Washington in the autumn of 1917 with a full report of his investigation in Mexico, the author recommended that the most effective way to counteract German influence and prevent Mexico being sed a8 a base for hostilities. espe- cially in the event the United States entered the war, was to recognize the Carranza administration and formal- ize the relations between the United States and Mexico, insisting upon the proper assurance for the protection of life and of property of American citizens. These assurances were given in writing and recognition was extended by the United States after consultation with the diplomatic rep- resentatives of the Latin American countries. The United States hoped that the extension of recognition would make Carranza more friendly and would checkmate German influ- ence. Unfortunately, the bandit dep- redations of Pancho Villa in the north upset all plans and with the out- lawed bandit actually crossing the American boundary line and raiding Columbus, N. M. it seemed as if the provocation for war which the Germans had been hoping would de- velop had come at last. The United States during the first two years of iher neutrality had become the ar- Isenal for the alNes, supplying muni- tions and guns. The German plan was to divert the supply of war ma- | terial from Europe tg an rican army engaged in a war below the Rio Grande. Mr. Wilson's decision to {send a punitive expedition after Pancho Villa was criticized in Mex- ico as hostile, but public opinion in the United States in 1916 would have conuntenanced no other action, espe- cially because Mr. Wilson was al- ready being accused of vacillation and weakness in his foreign policy in dealing with Gerniany as a conse- quence of the sinking of the Lusi- tania and other American vessels by German submarines. Admired Pancho Villa. Mr. Wilson occasionally exhibited a sardonic humor. He issued the order to Gen. Pershing to organize an expedition and for several days declined to interfere in the actual plans of the expedition, believing that the men in the War Department who had been clamoring for an op- portunity to show their mettle would now have plenty of chance to show what they could do in getting an expedition under way in_quick time. Mr. Wilson gave the War Depart- ment a free hand and watched with an amusement understandable only by those who heard his comment from time to time the efforts of thou- sands of American troops to catch a single bandit. Somewhere in the Wilsonian makeup there was a streak of admiration for his opponents, and he could not help expressing him- selt once about the daring of Pancho Villa. Something of the same humor in Mr. Wilson came®out as he ob- served Huerta wriggling cleverly in his effort to outwit the American gov- ernment. The truth is, Mr. Wilson liked the fighting man. As things developed, it was for- tunate that the War Départment was given a chance to bestir itself in the Mexican expedition, for there were even greater demands not many monthe later when the United States finally entered the war. From this time on, of course, the policy of the United States toward Mexico was one of tol- erance. Although the neutrality of the Carranza government was often questioned by the _authorities in Washington and there were rumors galore of wireless stations in Mexico through which sples were believed to be operating and plans were being made to foment trouble with the United States, there is little likelihood that the United States would, have been diverted very seriously from its huge task overseas by anything that happened below the Rio Grande. When the European War was over the Mexican policy continued- to be one of opportunism; while friction between Washington and Mexico City did not cease, the danger of hostili- ties between the two countries sud- denly began to disappear. Whether the existence of a large American Army ready for any emergency made | any change in the situation below the Rio Grande and developed a more practical spirit, or whether public opinion in the United States had had its fill of bloodshed, or whether the re- turning troops were indifferent about further service, none of these views can be deemed conclusive hecause of the overshadowing importance of the European peace negotiations in the mind of the American people and in the attention of President Wilson himself. ight, 1924, by the George H.

In event of a sudden catastrophe in Washington Emergency Hospital would not have adequate space to care for a large number of patients {at a short notice, it was pointed out by officials of the hospital last night. According to B. B. Sandridge, super- intendent of both Emergency and Casualty hospitals, frequently in the last few weeks there has not been a private room available in Emer- !gency Hospital and that one or an- {other of the wards are always filled Ito capacity and often patients have ito be put in the wrong ward until |there is room where he ought to be. These facts were presented as’ ex- {amplts of the necessity of raising {500,000 for the betterment in serv- lice and accommodation of the hos- pital. The board of directors at Emergency Hospital declare their policy has al- ways been to look ahead to the needs of the future and to provide for the ever-increasing need for public serv- ice. That, they point out, explains their recent purchase of the. Lemon building, a five-story structure un New York avenue, a short distance from the hospital building. The Lemon building, together with the plot of land between it and the hos- pital, was purchased at a total cost of $150,000. The plot of land is being used as a site for the new Nurses' Home. To Use New Building. They plan to use the Lemon build- ing for hospital purposes at some future time, when demands for serv- ice increase to such a point that it is necessary. Meanwhile the building is_leased to the government, under advantageous terms, so that the in- stitution is not sustaining a loss by providing for the future. No detailed plans have yet been worked out for the use of the Lemon building, but it is known by the directors that additional space will be needed in a few years, since the demand for_service i3 constantly in- Thus, they say, when a good opportunity arose to buy the Lemon building so as to provide for this future increase in capacity it was considered wise to take ad- vantage of it. The board of directors declare they have consistently looked to the future as well as to the present. Mortgage Reduced. The main hospital building of Emergency was built without ade- quate funds, so that it was necessary for $100,000 to remain on mortgage. This has since been reduced to $90,000. The nurses’ home, which is now nearing completion, ' will cost about $155,000 when completed. The usual proceedure, they declare, Would be to run a campaign to raise the necessary funds and then begin con- struction. In the present case, how- ever, the directors of Emergency have proceeded with the work because they felt It was necessary, and now, while the needed funds are being asked of the public, the work of building the home is almost com- nt out. P ey Gmpbhsized the nurse's home is not simply sqmething that the nurses deserve and should have, but that it will affect 2 very substantial increase in the capasity of the hospi- tal for patients by releasing space in the main building and in buildings now used by the nurses. It is stated that one of the results will be a 28 per cent increase in the private room Iclpaulty of Emergency.

The woman making this small, but heartfelt gift. resides in northa: Washington ®nd is particularly in- tercsted in Casualty Hospital, the operation of which has been taken over by Emergency Hospital. Many persons who are approached by campalgn workers appear to feel that they must make a fairly impres- sive gift if they give anything at all. This is not the case, it is pointed out by officials in charge of the drive. Contributions, no matter how small, are welcomed, and contribu- tions’ like the one described above, which indicate a real self-sacrifice, are doubly welcomed. WELFARE AGENCIES MAY UNIFY CONTROL capacity is also to be very consider- Commission on Legislation Directs William Hodson to Draft Bill for This Purpose. PRINCIPLE GETS' APPROVAL Measure to Apply to Those Sup- ported by Public Funds. The commission on public welfare legislation has directed William Hod- son, its expert consultant, to draft a bill to bring about unified control of all the welfare agencies that are supported by public funds. This action is a follow-up on the public hearing held at the District building Thursday afternoon, at which the general sentiment ex- pressed was favorable to the principle of centralized control. Mr. Hodson explained last night that the commission has not com- mitted itself to any plan, but merely requested him to outline a tentative bill which the commission Tould con- sider and pass dn later. Before drafting the biil Mr. Hodson will seek the views and suggestions of the boards ahd agencies that would be included in the measure. In approving the general principle of unified control at the public hear- ing Thursday many of the speakers expressed the belief that such unifi- cation could be brought about with- out abolishing all .of the separate boards now directing different phases of public welfare work. The point was emphasized that to abolish these boards would result in losing the personal touch which such agencies lend to welfare activitics. The welfare commission did not have a definite scheme before it at the hearing, and most of the discussion dealt with the question in its broader aspects. —— s = Spring Flowers.

The District Commissioners have found it necessary to rewrite the bill they had prepared for the elimi- nation of five of the remaining rail- road grade crossings, it was learned Yyesterday. The original bill provided for the construction of subways or bridges at Chestnut street, Varnum street, Van Buren street, Michigan avenue and Quarles strect. It is understood the revised bill will include only the first three on the ground that they are the most urgent ones. In the case of the Michigan avenue crossing there is a bridge at Monroe street, ome block away, and it is said the Commission- ers will endeavor to encourage the use of that street by improving the approaching roadways. It also is understood the revised bill will require the railroads to pay half the entire cost of the work, whereas the original measure pro- vided the carriers would pay only on that part of the bridge or subway on their right of way. The present movement to do away with the few remaining grade cross- ings began last year, when three persons were killed in an automo- bile at one of these railroad inter- sections. of i RUSSIANS TO ENTERTAIN.

GRAYSON HEADS CLUB Re-Elected at Meeting of Riding i and Hunt Directors. Senator Capper of Kansas yester- day reintroduced the compulsory ed- ucation bill for thé District of Co- lumbia. It is similar to a bill which was sponsored by Senator Capper in the last Congress and which was passed by the Senate but failed of action in the House. The bill was referred to the Senate District com- mittee. It provides for strict en- forcement of the proposed compul- sory education law and also for a school census. Senator Capper said last night that in his opinion a compulsory educa- tion law such as proposed was great- 1y needed here. “Conditions are worse here in Washington than in any other Amer- ican city of similar size that I have heard of in regard to the enforce- ment of compuisory education,” he said. “There is a law now on the statute books, but it appears to be ineffective and there is not the needed machinery to see that the children of the District attend school. 1 hope the District committee will act promptly on the bill and that the Senate Wwill pass it again without delay.” Senator Capper, who was chairman of the joint congressional committée Plans were launched yesterday for the annual spring meet of the Na tional Capital Horse Show Associa tion. Melvin C. Hazen, general man< ager of the association, announced that the show will be staged at Ar-. lington Park, south end of the High way bridge, May 16, 17, 19, 20 and 21. Committees have been named to arrange for the many details of the. show, which has come to be looked upon’as one of the social events of, the season in Washington. 4 From now until the show opens followers of the saddle sport will be: seen taking their favorite mounts, over the jumps in Rock Creek Park or along the bridle paths of Potom Park, getting them in trim to com pete for the blue ribbons in May. Contestants are not confined to~ Washington, however, and in pre- vious years there have been many notable entries from _the nearby states of Maryland, Virginia and> Delaware. Directors Hold Meeting. Decision to hold the regular spring meet this year was reached at a meeting of the-directors of the asso-. clation at the Riding and Hunt Club, 2ist and P streets northwest. Admiral Cary T. Grayson was re-, elected president of the assoclation. All other officers were re-elected for another term as follows: Melvin C. Hazen, vice president: and general manager; Commissioner Cuno H. Ru- dolph, treasurer; Horace H. Westcott, secretary; Thomas Bones, racing manager, and Larz Anderson, James. system of the District, said the Sen- ate committee was waiting for the House to act on the teachers' pay bill, and that as soon as the printed hearings on that measure were avail- able, he would ask the committee to begin work on the pay bill. His hearing would be concluded by the middle of the week, he thought, and work will then be resumed on the Bill with the rate schedules under discussion. Members Non-committal. Members of the committee, mean- while, refuse to commit themselves to any rate plan, although it is known to be the general sentiment that the bill as passed by the House will have to be materially revised to prevent a Treasury deficit. Further attacks wero made in the House yesterday on the agreement to bring the bonus bill up Tuesday under suspension of the rules, limiting de- bate and prohibiting amendments. Representative Vinson, democrat, Kentucky, assailing the plar, declared advocates of the full cash payment option should be given an opportunity to amend the measure. Chairman Green of the ways and means committee, yesterday formally introduced the bill agreed to by the committee and announced he would report it to the House tomorrow. The measure provides for paid-up life insurance policies and for cash payments to those not entitled to more than $50. In computing the ad- justed service credit, on which the value of the policies will be based, the bill specifies that service any time between April 5, 1919, shall be counted, although en- listment must have been made prior to November 12, 1918, The first sixty days of service cannot be counted. Another movement got under way yesterday for adoption of‘a resolution providing for the 25 per cent reduc- tion in income taxes payable this year. Representative Ackerman, re- publican, New Jersey, introduced a resolution to eliminate the install- ments of taxes due September 15 and to refund one-fourth of the taxes if paid in full now. He suggested that for its effect on business conditions the proposition should be removed from the revenue bill and settled at once. However, Chairman Green of the ways and means committee said the Treasury had declared this par- ticular plan unsound. Water? this a moot question, in S l your home?
