Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan over the adminis-
tration's reluctance to assist in the recovery of the body of Webb County rancher
Clemente Vegara, who was kidnapped and killed by Mexican soldiers in 1914-
From a distance, Mexican President Victoriano Huerta closely watches events
across the Rio Grande. The illustration appeared in the March 11, 1914,
Houston Post. Texans expressed more concern about the violent Mexican
Revolution than they did about the bloodshed in Europe during World War I.

before World War I," which begins on page 41 of this issue.
