TUAREz is the slave mart for the

Pitted against the vigilance of this de-

Juarez Is Headquarters.
Juarez, being the strategic point on
the border. Is the headquarters of this
great trust which traffics in human be-
ings. They have no offices, their meet
ing places are unknown except to the
secret police and their operations are
all done under cover Of a secrecy which
spells death to the Chinese who dares
to betray his cOuntrymen. Yet the
tentacles Of this octopus which fattens
on the Illicit gain Of human barter ex-
tend to the remOtest part Of China and
into every Chinese quarter in the United
States. Millions Of dollars have been
paid into the nav Of this human trust
for the delivery Of the Chinese safely
into the interior cities of the country.
The method Of operation Of this un-

Cling alien Chinese into the country
Is as interesting as 1t is mysterious.

be trimmed SO that the animal always

bulls are as easily handled as a gen
