JOHN REED
MEXICO
i 1 1
Word Pictures
of War by an
American Kipling
The METROPOLITAN sent John
Reed to Mexico for the truth. He is
a6 years old and doesn't know fear.
We knew we would get the truth
from him, but frankly confess we did
not expect the wonderful word pictures
oi a country torn and bleeding with
civil war that we publish in our April
number. We got the truth about
Mexico, but greater than that wc dis
covered an American Kipling.
, Hot from the front has come John
Reed's first "story0 of Mexico. By
holding our presses wc just had time
to catch the April number now on
the news-stands. It's literature. What
Stephen Crane and Richard Harding
Davis did for the Spanish-American
War in 1898, John Reed, 26 years
old, has done for Mexico. You see
that beautiful, blood-drenched country
with freshly dug graves crowding the
public roads. You see glorious,
drunken nights of revelry where mirth
is turned to tragedy by jealousy fired
with too generous gulps of sotol for
even in war sparkling eyes and red
lips sway the passions of men. You
see General Urbina, surrounded by his
gaily decked fighters, traveling with
his mother and his mistress. And for
the first time you will understand this
monstrous, paradoxical struggle wag
ing at our very doorstep. Yes, Reed's
story is literature.
