The Atlanta Georgian publishes be
low an article written by K. H. Cook,
an American newspaper man, who ar
rived in Atlanta Thursday from Mon
terey, Mexico, where in* has been
since the beginning of the diplomatic
exchanges between President Wilson
and Provisional President Huerta,
which have brought the Mexican sit
uation to Its present crisis.
Mr. Cook crossed the boundary line
one week ago. As u newspaper man
he came in (dose touch with comil
lions In Mexico and from Ms obser
vations 1ms been enabled to deduce
the terrible consequences to the hun
dreds of thousands of Americans
there should war he declared
These h«. portrays in the following
article
By F. B. COOK.
Every American in Mexico has
armed himself Even the women
carry pistols in their handbags.
Their homes are arsenals
Thousands of them ar* swarming
across the border into Texas The
train which bore ine from Monterey
to Han Antonio was packed with
American refugees They carried
with them their personal effects and
the cash into which they had con
verted their business assets and real
ty. Those whom they left behind
them are following Just us fast as
they can get away.
The great danger to American resi
dents of Mexico is not for those in
the large cities so much as in the
rural districts. In Monterey, where
there are probably 30,000 resident
Americans, and in the City of Mex
ico, where there are twice that num
ber, they are prepared to resist.
Besides being armed they have
barrd their windows. Should the
worst come the American colonies in
the larger cities could easily muster
a small but veritable army to protect
themselves.
Helpless in Rural Districts.
In the rural districts, however,
where there are thousands of Ameri
cans practically helpless. matters
uld be different The mountains
anxious to leave Mexico as were their
husbands and fathers. The lure of j
pit Ins !
* £ 11 arc now bristling with roving bands,
some of them semi-bandits, and but
one flash of a war would start them
on a murderous i*»mpAge which would
equal the days of the Sioux and
Apache.
Very few Americans have decided
to stay and brave out the situation.
Those who have, base their action
on the close proximity of Uncle Sam's
troops who ure mussing along the
border. f
It has been figured that ten hours
after being ordered, the American
soldiers could reach the Uity of Mex
ico. This, of course, does not reckon
the possibility of blockades. The
troops would have to make the dis-
the climate seems to have proven
stronger than the fear of being mur
dered. The Mexican climate is the
most wonderful in the world, and.
coupled with the romantic people, has
a fascination hard to resist.
People Seem Happy.
Despite the uneasiness which pre
vails in every city, the streets each
night arc filled with people, ;ind the j
plazas, or parks, are crowded with I
gaily dressed throngs. Should the
cry of war ring through the streets, j
though, it would And it armed, with- \
al its fickleness
There is no room for argument even
in the City of Mexico as to who wou id
be the victor, should war he declared J
Huerta or Wurtha, as the Mexican
Provisional President’s name is pro-
nounced has a very unstable Billow
lng The Mexican soldiery is but skin
deep, and has but the one desire -to i
he on the winning side It is said that j
all but the very loyalist of Huertas
friends would not hesitate to Join
with the American force should it in
vade the country.
Yet, after a successful invasion,
there would have to be a repetition J
of tiie old Indian warfare, to accom- !
plish a final extermination of the |
mountain tribes They ar«f the most
dangerous and least accessible people
in the country. They owe allegiance
to no faction and desire none They
would have to be put ofT on reserva
tions as were the redskins.
Not in Dangtr Now.
As t tie situation is now, Americans
are not ill danger unless they bring it
to themselves. They receive civil
treatment from the natives so long
as they accord such.
Yet the ice is thin and any dls- |
turbance raised by an American |
would bring heavy consequences to
him
Shortly before 1 left Monterey three
United Slates soldiers came down
from Laredo, Texas, and for their
bullying manner on the streets were
taken into custody and placed in the
carceral Once in the jail they were
as if Isolated.
No American is permitted to enter |
the Mexlcun prisons and the fate of
those Inside is left entirely to the na
tives.
The report was spread among the
American colony the day before my
departure from Monterey that the
three soldiers had been shot. I could
