Mexico Not Considering Alliance With Germany Says Senator
States, said Senor Legorreta, and you may say for me that Mexico is not contemplating forming any alliance with Germany or any country across the sea. I am not a military man and cannot talk officially on matters military but I do know that President Carranza is working hard as are his associates in control of governmental affairs, to build up Mexico and not only restore it to former conditions, but to make it a country with every one of its valuable resources producing and being operated to full capacity. A wood specimen found in glacial drift and estimated by the Wisconsin state geologist to be approximately half a million years old has been identified by the forest service laboratory as spruce.
