Juarez, Mex, May 20.-istanding on
the pedestal of a monument near
which arose the smoky ruins of the
recent battle, Francisco l. Madero to-
day bade farewell to his sildiers and
told them of his plans, when he goes
to Mexico City, to modernize the gov
ernment of the country and build up
a new Mexico
The occasion was the redistribution
of the insurrecto army of the north,
comprising the forces, largely enlist
ed from Chihuahua state, which be-
gan the revolution and lived to enjoy
the fruits of victory Fifteen humid
red insurrectos tomorrow at daylight
will leave for Casas Grandes under
command of General Pascual Orosco
and Colonel Villa. More troops will
leave for other parts of the interior,
and with the departure of the provi-
sional governors in a few days only
500 men under Colonel Jose Blanco
will stand guard in Juarez. Guiseppi
Garlbaldi, a grandson of the Italian
lberator, will also soon leave, after
having been an active participant in
the campaign which led to the fall
of Iuarez AT Casas Grandes the main
body of the insurrectos will still re-
main under arms, possibly marching
to Chihuahua City after President
Diaz has finally resigned.
The movement Of the insurrectos
southward also is significant, because
1t will remove from the border of the
United States the main fighting
strength of the revolutionsts. Casas
Grandes is l50 miles south of Juarez
1t is the intention of Orosco to camp
there for possibly several weeks, or
until Abraham Gonzales formally as
sumes office as provisional governor
of Chihuahua, succeeding Governor
Ahumada.
The scene of Maderos farewell to
his men was impressive. About the
plaza stood the blackened walls of
the new municipal palace and library
building which had been blown UP in
last weeks battle. Further on
stretched acres of adobe buildings,
mutilated and knocked into grotesque
shapes by the combined fire of feder-
ais and insurrectos.
Madero rode from his headquarters
accompanied by his cabinet and as
cended the steps of monument to
Bonito Juarez
AS the leader appeared above the
heads of the crowd he was hailed by
cheers of Long live the liberator OF
Mexico" and "Our next president
Orosco and Villa appeared beside
Madero and were greeted by their
followers. Tri-colored ribbons ano
rifles were tossed up by the soldiers
who We're massed in semi-circle
about the base of the monument.
Among the soldiers was a 12-year-
old boy who was officially credited
with having been in eleven battles and
skirmishes.
Madcro as he spoke stood beneath
a plaster statue typifying Justice, from
the upliftad hand of which, during
the battle, had been shot away the
scales or balances.
1t was the provisional presidents s.
first farewell address to his army.
Soldiers" said Madero, you sec
about YOU the terrible consequences OF
war Beautiful buildings have beer
destroyed and people have fled in ter
ror from their homes. Many of you
personally have felt the bitter suffer
ings of fighting. You have gone
hungry, have marched hundreds OF
miles over the hot deserts, often with.
out food. water or sleep. You have
shifted the SMOKE of battle and som,
OF you have had occasion to contem.
plate death.
But, my soldiers. it has been a jus
war, All of the suffering that ha'
been caused has been as nothing to tn,
suffering which the result Of this wal

ranny, its fruit is liberty.
My soldiers, | bid you farewell. Il
Is sad TO see you go, but you may leav,
with lighter hearts than when yol

In week or so | shall leave fol
Mexico City TO make permanent thu
peace which followed our triumph
mere. When peace is finally secure

the army If you like. There will b'
no conscription. The army which II
the future will uphold the liberty
guaranteed by the constitution O
Mexico will be composed of soldiers
who join it from choice and who will
receive good pay.
Many things are yet to be done be
lore the principle for which we Tough
