required much effort to wrench them
apart.
Even when pulled away the snake
still kept its Jaws closed. and the head

an open air meeting for today. 1t was
announced that Gen. Reyes would make
his first speech of the campaign. the site
selected being in front of the big ten-mil-
lion-dollar National Theater. in course of
construction.
Groups of Maderistas began forming

missiles.

went to the second story. from where
Gen. Reyes stepped onto d balcony with
the intention Of addressing the crowd,

to induce him to seek shelter. For twenty
minutes he remained there lodging mis-

The police, hated by the populace as the
instrument used by Gen. Diaz sternly
to maintain order, had drawn their sabcrs
