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 not verity tt.
