(Prepnred by tbs National Oeographto So
olety, Wuhlngton, D. C.)
Kost or west an American must trav-
el far to reach a foreign country. But
let him take only a few steps to the
south and he will find himself more
effectually abroad than If he traveled
to many parts of Europe. A land de-
wld of Yankee “hustle" except where
Yankees themselves display It; a land
with Its peasantry reminiscent of
feudalism which the remainder of
North America escaped ; a land where
the aborigines were not dispossessed
but with their European conquerors
formed a new race—such Is Mexico.
It Is a country of striking contrasts.
Though It Is exceedingly rich In natur-
al resources, a lurge part of Its popu-
lation lives In dire poverty. It had
a university before John Harvard was
born, yet the great mass of Its peo-
ple are Illiterate. Modern equipages
and machines ure to be seen side by
side with the most primitive vehicles
und devices. And desert sands and
tropical Jungles cun be found almost
within a stone's throw of eternal snow.
The Mexico of toduy has an area of
about 770,000 square miles—approxi-
mately a quarter that of the United
Btutes. Roughly half of the long sliqre
line of the Gulf of Mexico is Mexicun;
and Its Pacific coast Is nearly a thou-
sand miles longer thau that of the
United States exclusive of Alaska.
Big in Bom* Way*, Small In Othar*.
Of th* nineteen Independent Latln-
Amerlcan countries, Mexico la exceed
ed In six* by only two, Brazil and Ar-
gentina ; and In population by oqly
Brazil. With Its population of 15,000,-
000, Mexico has twice the total popu-
lation of Argentina and three times
that country's density of population;
but measured by the value of Its com-
merce, Us revenue or the strength of
Its navy, Mexico la of less Importance
among the countries of the world. It
Is subordinate In these respects too,
to Brazil and Chile, the latter a coun-
try less than half the sla* of Maxlco
and with a population of about a quar-
ter. Even In the matter of railroad
mileage per 1,000 square miles of ter-
ritory. Mexico, before Us revolutions
well ahead of all other large Latln-
Amerlcun countries. Is now practically
equalled by Argentina and Chile.
But Mexico has wonderful potential
wealth, and with a stable and con-
structive government and laws that
make the Investment of capital safe,
would have many advantages over
Its Latln-Ainerlcan competitors In the
race for development and rank among
the countries of the world.
Though Mexico has an area of great
extent, what may be called the real
Mexico is much smaller. Throughout
the history of the country, both be-
fore the coming of the Spanish con-
querors and since. Its culture aud Its
center of population have been on the
great central plateau which rises be-
tween the two oceans, and particu-
larly In the south central part of that
region. A section there occupying not
more than one-sixth of the country
contains nearly two-thirds of the to-
tal population. This portion, of which
the valley of Mexico and the city of
Mexico are near the center, has a
delightful climate. Blankets are used
at night the year round, but seldom at
any time of the year Is an overcoat
needed at midday.
The northern portion of Mexico Is
largely occupied by deserts. The
southern section Is tropical—a coun-
try of steamy moisture aud Jungles.
Both coasts are hot and unpleasant
throughout a large part of their ex-
tent. It Is natural enough, therefore,
that the central plateau has played an
Important part In the country's his-
tory.
But On* Really Larg* City.
Mexico Is essentially a rural coun-
try. Mexico City, the capital, with
Its million Inhabitants, is the only
city of large size within the coun-
try's borders. Between the metropo-
lis and the next largest city, Guadala-
jara, Is a great gulf, for the latter
with Its population of 120.000 is only
the size of Nashville, Tenn., or Salt
Lake City. Monterey, the greatest
city of northern Mexico, and third lu
the country, Is approximately the slz*
of Harrisburg, El Paso, or San Diego.
San Louts Potosl Is the size of South
Bend, Ind., while Vera Cruz, the great-
est port of the republic and fifth city,
Is smaller than Tampa, Florida, or
Charleston, S. C. Sallna Cruz and
the other Pacific ports are little more
than villages with extensive docks. As
a rule the cities of Mexico are not
manufacturing centers but derive what
Importance they possess from being
the markets for the surrounding agri-
cultural country or mining regions.
While Mexico Is largely agricultur-
al, and therefore rural, its country life
is strikingly different from that with
which farm-bred residents of the Uni-
ted States are familiar. Seldom Is an
Isolated farmhouse to be found; many
of the tillers of the soil live In little
villages and go back and forth to their
work, usually on the land of others.
These Innumerable villages give one
the Impression of being standardized
and are difficult to tell apart. They
are made up of low, rectangular flat
topped huts of mud bricks or adobe,
and are huddled closely together. Be-
tween the forbidding walls of thes*
tomh-llke dwellings, the tropic sud
beats down on a narrow, dusty street.
Great Ranch** and Plantations.
In addition to these more or less In-
dependent villages of the common peo-
ple there are to be found In parts of
the country the haciendas or great
ranches of the landed proprietors, on
which ore other groups of the Inevit-
able flat-roofed huts, the dwellings of
the ranch's peons. In the hot country
of the south ar* extensive plantations
of bananas, rubber trees, cacao and
other special tropical products. These
plsntstlons are often operated by for-
eigners, and on them B«na!l armies of
day laborers are employed. From the
forest of southern and southeastern
Mexico comes roost of the chicle from
which the world’s chewing gum Is
made; and from the plantatlpos of
Yucatan comes practically all the fiber
used In making the miles and miles
of bundle twine with which the hugs
wheat crops of the United States are
tied Into bundles.
Aboriginal traits cling ta the mass
of the Mexicans who are such a short
distance In time removed from the
strange mixtudi of barbarism and civ-
ilization that marked tb* empire of
the Aztecs found by Cortez when h«
landed on the gulf coast In 1518—a
civilization with Its human sacrifices
In a city carefully policed, and scrup-
ulously kept clean by a corps of trained
“white wings;” with Its refined can-
nibalism beside an astronomical abil-
ity superior to that of the scholars
who arranged the Julian calendar;
with Its Institution of slavery the only
one known In the world which pro-
vided that every child should be born
a freeman. They are an artistic peo-
ple, the Mexicans, apt musicians, mod-
elers, basket-makers, featherworkera
weavers and metal-workers.
Burial Vaults Ars Ren tod.
Poverty brings its tragedy Into the
deaths as well as Into the lives of
the mosses of the Mexicans. Few are
able to buy burial plots, and the cus-
tom of merely renting vaults for a
short term of years has become gen-
eral. The lease Is often not renewed
aud the bones are cast on a heap of
millions of others to make room for
a time for some other unfortunate.
Mexico abounds In holidays. Be-
sides Sunday there is an equal num-
ber of saints' days and additional holy
and feast days to bring the total to
131 of the 365.
Mexico's large unassimilated Indian
population and Its even larger popu-
lation In which Indian traits predom-
inate makes a certain degree of tur-
bulence a natural condition In the re-
public south of the Rio Grande. The
United States had not so long ago on
Its frontiers Its Indian uprisings, Its
stage-coach and train robberies, and
Its “bad men" with a penchant for
“shooting up " towns. Mexico Is still
In this stage of development, and be-
cause of the heavy Indian element
in its population, probably will be
there for many years.

Legion posts presented the monument
to the city.
Standing In a bed of red popples
in the benutlful city park, the monu-
ment Is silhouetted against the palms.

the shaft. On each aide of the monu-
ment Is an Insignia, denoting the de-
portments of service In which Ameri-
cans gave their Uvea—the army, navy,
marine and aviation. The four figures
created by the sculptor represent four
phases of military experience.
T. Seramea Walrasley, chairman of
the Legion’* national committee on
memorials, was deeply Interested In
the erection of this tribute to the fal-
len comrades In New Orleans, where
he makes his home. Mr. Walmsley
pronounced It the most remarkable
conception he had seen.
