Mexico, June 28. (By Mail.) Shortly after the last ritea had been said over the body of Venustiano Carranza, Luis Cabrera, Carranza'a Secretary of the Treasury,, proceeded to tell Mexico and the rest of the world of the great contribution tarranza had made to Mexican a corner of Mexico City for CaTjrera was "wanted" by the new revolutionary government--the former treasury head be gan writing a series of articles entitled "The Inheritance of Carranza." Five of the articles . appeared In . the newspaper Excelsior. Three more had been announced for publication, but at the conclusion" of the fifth, when Cabrera began to wax some what violent, the articles ceased to appear. Suppression ? That was the most common explanation, Cabrera, at any rate, had the satis faction of writing and publishing his essay on Carranza's international pol icy. It is this article whichtontains the most interest to he United States and South America. ' Among - other topics, Cam-era discusses the Monroe Doctrine, Latin ' America's part in Mexican relations with the United States, the petroleum1 question, Car ranza's attitude, during the war, the Pershing expedition after Villa, and the occupation of Vera Cruz by, Amer ican marines in 1914. . . The article is interesting, in the main, because it unconsciously dis closes Carranza'a exaggerated idea of guarding Mexican sovereignty, , an idea carried to such extremes .that at no time was ? he able to "maintain friendly relations witE the other great nations of the world. , : Before the time of Carranza, ac cording to Cabrera. Mexican sever- eignty waa practically unknown. He declares that: . , With respect to the part - which Mexico is supposed to have won for herself in the concert of civilized na tions, she scarcely played the cym bals to the , accompaniment of the American bass drum. So far as Eu rope and South, America were con- cerncd, Mexico until 1910 was what Cuba is now, a country which geo graphically and economically cannot : at a distance be distinguished. from the United States." -j . . Carranza changed all that. ' ' Vera Crux was occupied,- Cabrera explains,", "upon a very alight pre text," the United States believing it expedient to provoke a conflict with Huerta as a ' means of gaining the good will of the revolutionist prin Plly UCarranzifitaa. But aj thoujth CUranw could have profit politically from the occupation, Ca-i 11 is reported to have sold about $2,000 worth from -one acre.

"I want to get back into private life," said Viee- President Marshall here yesterday, de-,"o Is can walk down the street and look the citizens in the eyes without wondering whether they are pointing with pride to me or viewing me with lalarm." He came here from "Frisco. "I have had eight years in Washing- toil and 1 am satisfied," said Mr. Marshall. . 'I believe the man who wants to get into the White House national life. Hidden away in brera points out that he made firm protest against H, "offering a con trast to the interminable series of treasons which besmirch the record of Mexico." s i Beginning a lengthy discourse on the Pershing expedition in 1916, Ca brera declares that Villa's assault upon: Cojumbus, N. M., was deliber ately designed to provoke an interna tional complication, an act of ven geance against the United States for having recognized Carranza. Then Cabrera recounts how Carranza, de spite his military weakness, (ought vehemently against the "invasion, demanding unconditional withdrawal. He describes the failure of the confer ences at; El Paso, Texas, and New London, Conn., representing them as triumphs for Carranza. "Owing to the obstinacy of Carranza, the 160,- 000 men commanded by Pershing, who had remained idle during the six months of the conferences, could do nothing except leave " Mexico. And they, left, tacitly admitting the injus tice which had been committed through their entry." , Cabrera con tinues: ' "It is well known that Senator Fall is now speaking of a "pacific and friendly occupation," without .the in Itention of warring upon the Mexican people, but only with the intention of aiding them. We do not distinguish between friendly, and unfriendly inter ventions. All are outrages against our national sovereignty." Speaking of the conference at Ni agara Fallapromoted by Argentina, Brazil and Chile, Cabrera says that to far as Mexico Was concerned, "it hadno other result than to establish more firmly the principle that Mexi co' domestic ; affairs could not be brought before any international forum, even though composed oi men of our blood and of our tongue." Cabrera : then turns to V "another similar incident in August, 1915, when . Washington invited . various South American governments to take common action with respect to the af fairs of Mexico, it being suggested (Continued on pflffe three; GERMANY GETS JUST THREE-SI'THS MAKE GOOD WITH ALLIES Request for 15 Months to Disarm Turned Down Flatly, at Spa CASE OF, TIT FOR TA Asked by Lloyd-George WJby Germany Keeps ' Million Men Under Arms, Fore ign 'Minister Ciies the Sit uation in Ireland , (By thr United rreas) Spa, Belgium, July 8.

Government Federal and State vaccinators in North Carolina during the year end ing Juno 80 administered 4,708,700 cubic centimeters of serum, in combat ting hog cholera, according to the figures of Dr. Fred. D. Owqn, in spector In charge given out Bt dis trict headquartera here. The veteri narians made 87 addresses on the sub ject of hog cholera, the disease which kills 90 pur cent,' of all pigs dying from disease in the United States. These meetings had a total attend ance .of 4,384. One hundred and seventy-six farms were quarantined during the 12 months, and 3,359 were visited by the veterinarians for pur poses of .diagnosing and giving ad vice. There were 678 investigations in which special attention was need ed, and 253 post-mortem examina tions were held. Interviews relative to cholera and its control numbered 11,843, whilethe enormous number of 118,420 animals' were immunized against the desbrojuer,; The ecrum was furnished by the State veterinary authorities. Much of the work was done in Eastern Carolina, which experts de clare is destined to become one of the most important pork-producing sec tions in the country. Dr. Owen and his assistants have "educated" thou sands of farmers into realizing the need bf taking simple and safe pre cautions against the malady. Accord ing to Dr. Joseph O. . Sallade, in charge of the local district, it "is the aim of the Federal and State authori ties to bring about ultimate eradica tion of cholera and greatly increase the production of meat. At present the object is to bring the disease un der strict control so as to reduce losses to the minimum." . "The infection, according to the ex perts,' is carried easily from one place to another in a great variety of ways. Hence the need of care artd coopera tion by farmers with each other and the government men. Cooperation is absolutely essential to success. "Per manent reduction in losses," it is .de clared, "can be expected only when farmers organize for a determined ef fort and agree to self-imposed quar antines, etc. The continuous employ ment of sanitary measures and early use of the serum, treatment' should a herd become infected are imperative. It is important that competent veteri narians be employed ana mat co operation and support - be given to every movement by the Stats and Federal authorities for the eradica tion of hog cholera.
