IS Episcopalian Clergyman Pleads for Recognition of Either of the Warring Forces. U.

S. PLAYING PHARISEE There Can Be No Arbiters, He Asserts, but Firm Stand by Washington Would Soon End War and Chaos. lt is the opinion of the Rev. Samuel Salinas. a and an Episcopalian clergyman, that the l'nited States govern ment is stranglmg Mexlco.

Why. he asked yesterday. did not President Wilson recognlze one ot the other of the forces dlviding his unhappy not Huerta, th.n Carranza? Will ther electlons to-day help your country?" he was asked. "I do not think so. Fair electlons in Mexlco are nothlng but a dream The man who received a plurality of the votes iast to-day will likely never take ofttee.

lt will still be Huerta or Carranza. And yet, even if the electlon of to-day was fair. of one of the candidates received a great majorlty, your government. playing tlie Pharisee. would not recosnlze thla man or assent to the eleetion.

Is thla right or fair or Christian?" Salinas haa been attcnding the Oeneral Convention of the Kpiseopal Church and haa been staying at No. 416 West mth street. Por twenty years. he has been a missionary clergyman in Southern Mexlco. Zapata's but ins travels have extended throughout the land.

"Half the country 1s sheddlng blood ln Huerta's eauaa Thfl other half is sheddlng blood for i'at ranza. There can be no arbiters in Mex? ico. lt should be the duty of the l'nited States to say which of these men should be support.d by Mexlco.

and lf the l'nited States said so tlrmly, civil war would soon end. Hut your President leaves us to brigandage and chaos." "Would the Mexican people tolerate in? tervention by the l'nited States?" said Dr. Salinas vigorously. "The time for intervention has passed. lf there ever was a time for it.

The hour that an American army entered M. xlcan terrltory you would see all factlons, all p.rties, unitlng and forgettlng their per? sonal antagonlsms. 'Mexlco Is a proud nation. -Wfl may dls gract ourselves, but we will not let others humlllatfl us.
