MEXICO CITY.—The American
publicity campaign is showing re
^ suits in Mexico. The wide spread
| i dissemination of facts concerning
J the war aims and accomplishments
_ of the United States are, according
; to foreigners long resident here,.
bringing about a change of senti- (
! ment, which, if not characterizable
j as love for Americans, may at least
| be called respect.

The effect of the Allied blacklist
becomes more noticeable daily. The
Gemans apparently have much less
money than formerly to spend on
propaganda. German firms, forced
to deal in hidden ways to secure
even the smallest imports from the
States, are less prosperous. Arro
gance of German officials and busi
nessmen in public places is decreas
ing. Since it became known that
four members of the American club,
alone in the building at the time, j
evicted thirteen Germans who in
vaded the club, there have been no
further outbreaks.
; Posters^)amphlets, reading matter
! for newspapers, war photographs for
window display, daily official cable
reports, reading rooms, moving pic-'
tures and authoritative statements i
! by American officials on inter- j
; national questions, are among the
means adopted by the United States
I :
: government to change the long
standing dislike for Americans that
has prevailed in Mexico.
Through these various channels
the war aims of the United States,
its accomplishments in the raising
; of a huge army, the sending of a
million and three-quarters men over
» seas in record time, its achievments
L in building a merchant marine, its
enormous war expenditures, and the
k unity of its people, are being
* brought to the attention of the in
telligent Mexican public in a way
^ 1 never before attempted. The cam
I paign also is having its effect on
the American residents who, armed
> with facts and encouraged by news
I of American successes in battle, are 1
doing vigorous personal missionary
I work.
» ]
, Another effect of the truth cam
paign is the disclosure of the falsity
| of the news reports regarding Ger- 1
, many’s successes and aims, for which '
( Teuton propagandists are respons-;
> ible,. It has been shown that the!
' German papers published here do not
( receive the news in the way they
> advertise, that it is taken from
' American papers smuggled across
I the border at Laredo, distorted in
> the rev;riting and then telegraphed
to German papers in the capital and
t other cities.
» Outward signs of the increase in
pro-ally sentiment are the number
' of newspapers seeking news reports 1
from American sources ,the amount j
| of space given in periodicals to Al- j
I | lied war news, the increase in the:
number of posters that are not'
| mutilated or defaced, the additions:
to the ranks of pro-ally publications
of numerous new periodicals and j
( the growing popularity of Allied:
moving picture films.
vi When President Wilson, General'
[ Pershing, the American flag and i
j marching American soldiers first1
j appeared some time ago on the j
[ screen in a down town motion pic-i
ture theater there was a protest- j
] Recently, in a theater holding more
| 1 than 4,000 spectators, in a poor dis
1 trict where anti-American sentiment
j has been high, there was not a j
J murmur when virtually the same I
1 characters flickered on the screen, j
; In fact, one ardent pro-ally Mexi-1
1 j can had to be forcibly prevented I
'from making an anti-German speech.;
I According to mining and smelter
; ■ men, reports that German interests
are buying up huge areas of min
■ eral and oil lands are quite con
i trary to the facts. They assert that I
j German mining interests are in sore |
| straits and that no ore produced |
in a German owned mine is being
smelted.
There is also a noticeable lack of
; the anti-American satire that for
I merly pervaded certain theatrical j
' performances given in the capital. |
