New Books
A Diplomat'i Wife in Mexico.
f ' - A book just put out by Harper's
' is certain to be widely read as a re-
ult-of the mess into which our affairs
with. Mexico have fallen. It is a col
lection of letters, written by Mrs
, Nelson O'Shaughnessy, wife of the
American charge d'affaires, to her
mother, covering the period of Huer
. ta's regime in Mexico from the time
. Mr. O'Shaughnessy returned to the
Mexican capital after the overthrow
. of Madera up to and including the
Vera Cruz incident. Allowance must
" be made for the partisanship of the
Y writer, who is frankly an admirer of
Huerta and equally trank in her cnti
cism of President Wilson and Mr.
SBryan, but. even with this agreed to,
I the record is one that throws some
' startling: light on the situation. Esoe
cially does it expose the pitiful stu-
i pidity ot the policy adopted by the
S resident of the United States and
ii premier in their dealings with a
I very serious international affair.
! . Pledged not to mix in the internal
! affairs, of their neighboring country,
J ' the authorities at Washington went
from one mistake to another with
I cheerful optimism, always meddling,
, tending ultimatums to Huerta and tn-
couragement to Carranza and Villa,
I. and John Lind is shown at one time
as actually conterring with lapata,
uhn. if rmaeihl ia mnr linnfalcahlf
, - r- . jr.. - r
ii I in his villainy than Villa.
The pitiful aspect of John Lind, per
sonal -messenger from Wilson, with-
out official standing, ignored by Huer-
ta and the representatives of other
nations, out of touch with, his own
embassy, and Spending his time at
: Vera Cruz, where he had communica-
r tions chiefly with the rebels, whose
cause he espoused, is made clear by
these letters. How little either Mr.
Wilson or Mr. Bryan understood of
the Mexican character is incidentally
shown by reference to several epi
sodes. On of these had to do with se
curing the release of Manuel Bonilla,
a prominent Maderista, who sought
asylum in the American embassy. Bo
nilla gave his parole not to assist
the rebel cause, and under this prom
ae was given safe escort to Vera
Cfuipirom where he immediately
joined Cartatvza, and later rebelled
.'. against him. Violation of parole was
j- a slight thing; for the "patriots."
, .. An incident illustrative of the deft
i and -diplomatic manner with which
! ..." Washington handled its dealings with
I ; the Mexicans is found in sentences
! 'running through several of the let
ters. Other embassies were bringing
in arms tor selt-protection against
mob violence. U shaughnessy was
urged to. follow suit, lie broached
the matter to Huerta, who told' him
' he might "bring in all the; arms lie
d d pleased, but it must be done
quietly." It was then arranged that
' gatling guns and other weapons were
- to be brought in as stationery and
. embassy supplies. This report was
made to Washington, with full in
" structions as to shipping. The guns
did not arrive on time, and O shaugh
- nessy heard nothing from them. He
was getting a little uneasy, when at
breakfast one morning he read in the
Mexican Herald of the fuss kicked up
at Vera Crui because the American
charge was importing arms. , imagine
his consternation on finding, as a re
' suit of a personal trip to Vera Cruz.
. that ' the gatling guns had reached
the customs house there accomoa-
: Jiicd by an invoice signed by the com
manding officer of the Springfield ar
mory! it was. on this basis the deli
. cate negotiations through the criti
, cal period were handled.
j Mrs. U Miaughnessy s letters are
' full- of the personal touch, of bits of
; embassy gossip, chats with Huerta
' and embassadors: and ministers of
other countries, and high officials and
- prominent citizens of Mexico and vis
itors from America,' and make up a
very important contribution to the
literature of the most dramatic period
n recent Mexican History,

Music Reflects, Through You and
Your Children, the Refine
ment of Your Home
The radiating influence of piano music in the home
is shared by every member of the household. It brings
a sense of restfulness and pride a feeling quite foreign
to those unacquainted with the refining influence of har
mony and its benefits.
There is a very important factor lacking in
the home that has no piano and our eaiy pay
ment plan makes it quite unnecessary for
' YOUR HOME to be without one.
The instruments we sell are the world's recognized
best pianos the ones you know, have made reputations
by their merit.
