Mexico.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 25, 1913:
To the Editor of The New York Times:
    The grim ghost of the French Revolution is stalking the streets of the war-plagued City of Mexico. The assassination of ex-President Madero and his Vice President proves that Mexico is endeavoring to emulate the example of the French methods of revolution. This is no longer a revolution; it has become merely a war of extermination.
    Mexican barbarism must stop, and the only nation on earth that can and must stop it is the United States. The whole world looks to us to keep peace on the American Continent. They are confident in our ability to do so, and it is up to us to see that they are not disappointed.
         Harold Fogel.
