Half a day? An entlre dsy? Liston to what Mrs. If. T. Brown, just arrived from ‘jftexlco City, leaving there with the refugee#' taken away h r the British government, and now visiting in -Columbus, has to say re- yarding the short time she and her sop. and family prepared to -catch 5*. train. iMrs. Brown Is the guest of her brother-in-law, G. W. Brown, a t 1314 North High street; ehe has been, living in Ooyopoan, five miles out of Mexico City, for TO years, her son being a teacher in the missionary school main­ tained by the Presbyterian, church, He has an English wife And two Jlttie children, and the five came north, ar­ riving In -Columbus, Monday, "We had very short notice,” said Mrs. Brown, the elder. "We had heard that a train was to be run out of Mex­ ico City, but hadn’t the, faintest idea. When, so 'Mr. Vanderbilt, one o f the ■teachers, wept into the city to dis­ cover when, we might get away. NO one could tell him, but he finally found out a t the British embassy, and by the time h e had the information and tele-,: phoned to us, we had twenty minutes in which to get the trolley for the city, - .No,Time Wasted. - - ~- “ ’No trunk®,’ was the word, because we were told we would -have to walk sly miles from break to break in. the tracks,.with no transportation, so ive hurriedly packed -suitcases and some •luncheon, "Never stopping to lock up any­ thing, hot even the doors-, we flew, al­ though to save your feellngaT wilt say that our next door ' neighbor, an English woman, sgld she would attend to tilings tor us, bu t whether or not we chan go back, •and ,if we doA whether we will find our things, We cannot tell. "Our trgin, in two sections, was stopped three times, but wo were hot molested, except -to listen to the Spanish: equivalent of ‘Death to Amer­ icans’, which was not pleasant. “As you perhaps know, Huerta’s men, Have a way of-surrounding a factory Or some placewhere men work in Jarge numbers, and on-their leaving immediately press them -into service, fh ey are driven to some place and ordered- to shoulder guns and then are assigned some .place -to patrOl as sentries. “Our school was closed on that ac­ count, the older pupils being afraid’of being gathered together and forced under the Huerta banner. It baa been said .that Huerta’s men ring church bells atuTfheu when -the people arrive^ drive the men to arms. Soldiers Are Hungry. . . • "As our train stopped once, a 'Mexi­ can patrolling up and down, looking dazed, and uncomfortable, said to my son: 'I don’t know1what t o do with this ghn; I can’t shoot, apd I am hungry add tired. We get nothing to eat and no pay, yet are afraid to rebel.’ We bed Just finished our lunch and fijy ptth handed out the,paper cantata- tag crusts add odds and ends, almost fearfully, bu t the insane greed with which the man took them and ate proved' that he had, been telling the •truth, . ' ’ "Mexico City Is do t different from any American' city, bu t there is feel­ ing there against all Americans. The English have been particularly kind to us in aiding in every way to make us comfortable. • . “On our train were four officials of toe Mexican. National /railway (not native^)- and.1the Huertahs were in­ sistent that they remain in the country because they knew too much to be allowed to leave, but the British consul insisted that they be allowed to. go with us on the train. “When we Arrived a t Vera Cruji (and, after ail, Wemight haVe brought trunks with us, as we only bad- to walk half * mile and could have hired some Mexicans to carry them across) and were walking to toe hotel, a large automobile drew up to the eurb and an elderly gentleman asked my com­ panion and myself to get in, saying that I, like himself, was no longer young, and therefore riding would' be more comfortable. He took in my daughter-in-law And her children also and drove ue to toe hotel, assisting us out with all courtesy. American Officers Commended. "I asked him who I might thank tot the kindness and he aid, “M-m-m, well, 'Oh Just the chlef-of-staff, mad­ am;’ so 1 don’t know who ho is, but he was co charming and: kind; and toe same might be said of every American soldier In Vera Cruz, "The American soldiers were partic­ ularly kind In Tigging up an old freight engine and coming out to meet us, so that we did- not have to walk so far from one broken track to another, arid on the boat, 'The City of Mexico,’ that brought us to Now Orleans, we had every consideration shewn us. "The boat Waited until every train came in, and when we arrived Friday, encouraging words were spoken, wo found several who had -been on toe boat state Monday, Everyone had to be vaccinated before going to their -taierfioms. "Down in Mexico there Is- more sympathy shown for Carranza than tor Huerta, the latter being ft plutd* craf, dissipated and a rogue. -"Wo had been, -talking of leaving Mexico some time before we did get away. The native professors at toe .college said they would all fight to protect the Americans, but advised us to leave when opportunity offered, and as the 'Mexicans are of * peculiarly Inflammable nature one can never de­ pend upon What they are going to do, "dust before we left, toe American grocery had been looted, but very little was gotton, -because we Ameri­ cans had Stocked our pantries and the stock was greatly depleted, The American: drug store was also looted, and we don’t know what might have happened to us if. we had re­ mained. The British counsul advised us to come away, but think of our get­ ting ready ift twenty minutes!
