Reyes Was Without a Fol-
lower When He Unfurled
Banner

Washington. Dec. 2s.-A general
without an army and revolutionary
patriot without even a single follower
was the plight in which General Ber-
nardo Reyes found himself when he
unfurled his standard of rebellion in
Mexico. According to advices receiy-
ed today at the Mexican embassy here
from Manuel Calero. minister Of for
eign affairs for Mexico, General Reyes
confessed that mot one man" had rail-
lied to him when he crossed to Mexi-
can soil. Minister Caleros dispatch
follows:
please communicate to the press
officially that General Reyes has sur.
rendered to the government, making
the following declaration:
In order to effect the counter
revolution issued call to revolu-
tionists. to the army and to the peo-
Pile. When entered Mexico from the
United States not ono man answered
my summons. This clear demonstra-
ton of the general sentiment of the
nation obliged me to yield myself up.

creating war"
The embassy officials foretell a re.
markable era of development for Mex
leo now that the menace Of civil war

SHOT RECRUITS

Boy Robbers Rivaled the Ku

Initiation

Alexander Hoazepstein as qualifica.
tions for admission to the secret band
OF boy desperadoes who called them
selves the treasure hunters"
Alexander. with two young COM
panions, was up before Magistrate
Yates at the house Of detention. The
three were badly scared. but struggled
hard to preserve their dignity as be-
htted desperate characters.
To believe the youngsters fearful
admissions. when the magistrate fin-
ally persuaded them that truthfulness
was better than dignity, the Ku Klux
Khan In its best days had nothing on
OF its initiation ceremonies.
Alexander Hoazenstein. the admit
ted leader Of the three, and his com
pantons. Daniel Conghlin, who n Ia
years old. and Leroy Yerkes, who is
only IL. and the youngest Of the treas
ure hunters all promised Magistrate
Yates that they would forswear the
ways that are devious.
Therefore the MAGISTRATE let them
go after giving them a good verbal
dressing down. and admonished their
parents. who were taken aback at the
dreadful things told by the boys, to
take better care Of their Offspring in
the future.
To become a. member of the treas
stein explained. it was necessary to let
yourself be shot with an air rifle. It
was the regular thing-a sort Of trial
OF courage. The treasure huntars''
wanted no saffron blooded recruits.
The test Of the air rifle was adopted as
a sure indication of lots of nerve.
No one was ever very badly hurt in
the process OF being shot probably as
much because Of good luck as good
management; but Alexander, who
owned up to being the choice spirit Of
the band. said he had "got hts'' in the
left leg. and 1t hurt. too.
The applicants for admission to the
inner circle Of the band Of chosen des-
peradoes had to pass through another
test before they were made free Of
the guild. 1t Is one thing to have lots
Of nerve. but quite another to have
the necessary dexterity which goes to
make successful treasure hunter"
Therefore, II you wanted to meet
the rest OF the gang on the corner
and he initiated to their darkest Sc
crets you had to prove yourself wor.
thy OF the honor by "pinching" three
articles. Once was not sufficient.
The first time the ambitious thief
might succeed hy chance. He might
get by on his nerve" a second time
hut to lift three articles successfully
and without being caught afterward,
was considered quite feat, and pref
ty ample proof that the neophyte gave
good promise Of bright future.
Seemed Carcfree.
Alexander, Daniel and Leroy didn't
seem very desperate. but they owned
up to all their "cussedness.' and
threw themselves on the mercy Of the
court.
They might have fiourished in their
guilty calling had w. Fl. Buckley been
a better sport. He "peached.' and
thereby brought down the heavy hand
Of the law upon the three young cul-
prits.
They had novel scheme, which ha.
kept them in spending money recently.

Of the Russian government is taken
in consequence of the proclamation
Of independence by Mongolia and the

minutes.
The pronouncement Of acquittal
was ftrst taken quietly by the defend.
ants, but after an adjournment to an
ante-room they gave way to their emo
ton IN tears when embraced by rela-
tives and friends. As they passed out
street. large number Of men. women
and children awaited them. One hys-
