THE POLITICAL SHAME OF MEXICO 
By EDWARD I. BELL. 
Formerly Editor and Publisher of La Prensa and The Daily Mexican 
Illustrated. 8 x 10 . £2.00 net. By mail £2.20 
“ He writes calmly, 
simply, dispassion¬ 
ately, and the seri¬ 
ous importance of 
his narrative is 
often lightened by 
touches of humor 
that make its pe¬ 
rusal a delight.”— 
Philadelphia Ledger 
“No popular ro¬ 
mance ever 
matched the story 
it unfolds of high 
play, by giant 
players, for the 
stake of empire . . . 
for epic irony it out¬ 
does anything ever 
written into the hu¬ 
man comedy. — 
Boston Transcript 
U P UNTIL a week before this book went to press the author was actively pursuing and investigating fresh evidence of 
the hidden forces of conspiracy and intrigue in Mexico. His narrative and investigations are therefore up-to-the 
moment. As an eye-witness of many incidents, Mr. Bell writes of what he observed. As an acquaintance of many 
years with some of the actors of the political drama and in more intimate relations with many other leaders of all factions, he 
writes of the inside facts. These facts he stands behind knowing full well the storm of criticism they will provoke.

The Real Mexico 
By HAMILTON FYFE 
Special Correspondent of the 
London Times. 
“ The book is receiving 
high praise and it deserves 
it, because it deals sanely 
with events since the down¬ 
fall of Diaz.” — N. Y. Sun.

upon observations in Mexico City, 
but has visited every state and city, 
interviewing Federal and Constitu¬ 
tionalist leaders, peons, officers in 
troop trains, foreign residents and 
governing Mexicans. He believes 
President Wilson’s policy and Mr. 
Bryan’s diplomacy have been mis¬ 
taken, due to an utter lack of under¬ 
standing of Mexican life and tem¬ 
perament. 12mo. 81.25 net. Postage
