Anarchy in Mexico
Declares Sir Lionel;
He Criticizes Wilson
NEW, TORK, Sept. 1. 8lr Lionel Car
den. one time British minister to Mexico
and recently appointed minister to Brasll
sailed today on the Celtic for Liverpool.
Is quoted by the New York City News
association' ss having made the follow
ing statement concerning the withdrawal
of American troops from Vera Crus:
"It is a desperate shame thftt the United
States has seen fit to abandon the decent
people of Mexico when they most need
help. Idon't know the reason for this,
but it would seem that President Wilson
has been misinformed in some matters
and that if another aide of the situa
tion hss been brought to his attention he
hss not seen fit to listen to anything that
contradicts those who have told him
that the country has been pacified.
"The people who did not get protection
in Mexico City and elsewhere went to
Vera Crus for protection. What will they
do now? They have no means of getting
away and will be left to the mercies of
the lawless element that will Immediately
overrun the town and country."
"When It Is said that a state of abso
lute anarchy exists In Mexico, It, Is not
stating the facts too strongly," continued
8lr Lionel. "There were some 4,000 good
policemen In the city of Mexico, but these
have been supplanted by an' army of
ffi.floo soldiers that fought the federal
government, and among these are several
thousands of wild Yaqul Indians, who
two months ago fought with bows and
arrows.
"Huerta had sqme sort of government;
Csrranza has none whatever."
fwaa no evidence of any tampering with
the machinery.
Tha station is out of operation for an
Indefinite period. Lieutenant Oygax ssid.
as the extent of the repairs to be made
has not been determined. It may take a
week or more to get the machinery In
condition to operate the wireless.
There wss a large amount of private
and government business on hsnd to be
flashed across the Atlsntlc when the
breakdown occurred.

The mud was getting worse instead of
better. Not daunted, the two cars Tom

"Walter Minor's tittle car balked at the

diagnosed It as a loose piston. Mr. Minor

his automobile from Omaha to ,L4neoln

Howell and son are scheduled, if it rains
no more, to meet the party tomorrow in

Mr. Howell will also catch up by that

"At Table Rock a meeting will be held

hired cars If need be.
"Last night's rain was especially severe
In the southwest. , Tecumseh's streets
are deep In mud. In tne country they are
not so bad. Showers fell all morning to

southeast as a starting point especially
unfortunate.
"The candidates areV not cast down

after digging In a mud hole. The skies
cleared by mid-afternoon today and tho

things will assume a brighter hue for the

feels that he Is the Snost unfortunate of
the six candidates. Besides losing his
automobile and finding It necessary to
have it tewed back to Lincoln from Firth,
hs was careless enough to leave his night
