SEES INTERVENTION
Mexican General Warns Leaders U.
S. Will Act Unless Conditions
Improve
Washington, Sept. 6.? Warning
Mexicans that intervention by the
United Staite is imminent, General
Salvador 'Alvarado, one of the leaders
in the Carranza movement throughout
its course, has addressed an open let
ted to Carranza himself and Generals
Obregon and Gonzales in which he ar
raigns conditions in Mexico in scathing
fashion.
Alvarado, who attracted attention
of all the Pan_Americas for his ad
mr-ntefaation in Yucatan, estimates
that the present daily death list in the
scattered fighting between Federal
tr&cp:; and rebels is one hundred a day.
In Mexico City alone, he says, 8000
children die each year for want of
proper food, clothing and shelter.
A1 vara da,, after trying to make the
radical theories of the new Mexican
Constitution work in actual practice,
declares the system must be chanced.
He declares Mexico has passed from
cne extreme of an irresponsible, ob
structionist Congress to the ether?a
despotic, corrupting and ultra-personal
presidential regime, without responsi
bility or legal restraint.
He excoriates the administration of
justice, charging that justice is sold
to the highest bidder.
