The Real Huerta

By Editor

An intensely interesting account of a special correspondent who spent two and one-half months in Mexico trying to secure a serious interview with Huerta, will appear in the August Watchman. It is a most vivid word picture of Mexico’s dictator-president, of which the following brief extracts give but a faint conception:—

ONE OF UNCLE SAM'S "PEACEMAKERS" EN ROUTE TO MEXICO

“Huerta . . . jumped into the black automobile. We tried to intercept him. Cordial smile, handshake, greetings,—

“Wait for me: I will be back in one momentito. . . . and he was off. History will probably fail to record where Huerta spent that momentito. For five hours only his chauffeur knew where he could be found. . . .

“At nine in the morning one can now and then run him down at the Lazo Mercantil, a small café frequented by French salesmen; at ten he drives to the Chapultepec restaurant; now and then he stops at the Automobile Club. He lunches at home about two o’clock, dines about eight, goes to bed between two and four, and arises between six and six thirty.

“One may well indulge in speculation of melancholy turn when bearing in mind what may some day befall Huerta after years of such scanty sleeping, and of hourly pilgrimages to establishments where a bracing variety of ‘tea’ is dispensed. . . . Huerta is a full-blooded Indian, with the aborigine’s wiry hair and sparse mustache.”

The rest of the article is fully as entertaining, and will be found of the keenest interest to many thousands of Americans who know practically nothing of Huerta as he really is.

Another equally interesting and strong-selling feature of this issue is an article entitled “The Hand Behind Huerta.” This contains some plain, clear-cut statements from undisputed Catholic authorities that will be found of special interest at this time.

This issue also contains very strong articles on the “Marshalling of the Nations;” “The Remaking of the World;” “The Coming of Antichrist;” “The Rise and Fall of Churches;” “Good New Testament Greek, Good English, and Good Sense;” “How to Keep Cool in Hot Weather;” and a number of others equally good.

A beautiful cover design showing one of Uncle Sam’s “Peacemakers” en route to Mexico. Profusely illustrated. A most excellent opportunity to present the truth to your friends and neighbors in a way that will interest them.
