The battle that has been going or
between the forces Of Diaz and Maderc
In the city of Mexico during the past
week is probably unprecedented ir
modern warfare, in several particulars
more especially in that it has beer
waged with utter disregard to non
combatants. From the dispatches II
appears that the principal base Of the
forces Of Madero Is the national palace
and the Diaz forces are using the arse
nal as their base. The distance between
the national palace and the arsenal Is
just one mile. Batteries Of machine
guns are located on the roofs Of the
palace and arsenal and heavy guns are
parked In the streets and at various
places in the vicinity Of each base OF
operations. Between the palace and
the arsenal there are nine cross streets
and the two buildings are about four
squares out of direct line. This means
that the line of fire runs diagonally
across four parallel streets. The troops
of Madero have made several efforts to
carry the arsenal by assault; but each
time they have been moved down by
the fire of Diaz's machine guns and
forced to retire. Hundreds Of non
combatants have been killed in the
streets and many people have been kill
ed in their homes. Madero claims to
have 5000 loyal troops; but the num-
- to lryn nxIvVD
It has been stated, however, that sew
eral times squads and detachments OF
Madero's forces have turned on their
officers, shot them down and Joined
DiaZ. The representatives or foreign
powers have appealed to both sides to
stop a battle that endangers the lives
of so many innocent people, including
foreigners; but each side lays the
blame on the other. Altogether the
fighting is unusual and remarkable In
modern warfare.

Of this kind was attached to a long

opportunity for flirting.
One of the most tragic OF mask balls
occurred at the marriage of King
Charles VI OF France in 1898. When
the feasting and frolicking was at It's
height four young courtiers persuaded
the king 70 disguise himself as a wild
man.
The king and his four courtiers COW
cred themselves with tar pitch and
feathers and the courtiers chained
themselves together. They danced into
the great hall and whirled about to the
wild Joy of the court. Suddenly one

and the king became hopelessly insane.
