...lesson of the Mexican officer's remark is a valuable one. There is hardly a greater virtue than obstinacy, if obstinacy is construed as refusal to recognize apparent defeat and turn it to personal advantage. The nations that today possess the soundest traditions of orderly government are the ones that have sacrificed most for it in the past. Their history is filled with the record of lost causes, which have in the end been victorious. It is difficult to predict the exact outcome of the present Mexican revolution.

...isolation or self-sacrifice to this life. We are having excellent times, and are quite as comfortable as we would be in America. I cannot praise the personnel too highly; it was very gratifying to find the American community so congenial.
