SERVING THE WOUNDED AND
BURNING THE DEAD-PROMIN-
ENT BROWNSVILLE DOCTORS
AND CITIZENS TAKE PART.

And they tlocked, yes literally locked
to Matamoros the stricken city as soon
as the embargo was lifted.
Thousands mostly Americans for there
were few of the MeXicans especially Mat
amorensens who felt equal to the task Of
at once taking up their residence there
or going over even to view-they knew
not what. They did not know whether to
think that there was anything left Of
their city that might remind them Of
the days of old, or that might be revealed
to their sorrowing light as Il city Of
dead and dying, of stricken homes and
broken firesides. They could not even
tell that their beloved plaza was left
to them. What could they think? The
attacking army over a thousand strong
had poured q murderous fire into their
little city for more than seventeen hours
without letup.
They had hurled deadly and destructive
bombs into their houses and had set fire
to many of them. Dotted around during
the day and the night that they spent
looking l%ongingly across the Rio Bravo
to their homes, they had seen the ascent
Of smoke and fire from all points Of the
city. No they did not feel equal to the
occasion of so sOOn viewing what they
thought would prove the wreck and ruin
Of their once happy homes.
No. they did net 90 over but the cur-
ious. the sightseer and those who the
horrors Of the scene did not touch so
nearly nor reach so closely went. They
came in droves. fiOckS. herds crowds.
Footback, horseback. and a~utomObillng.
And at the same time there were droves
of the poorer classes of MeXicans from
MatamorOs coming to the Browns
Vile side. The did not kn0w
what this new commander would do. He
was a stranger to them. Their own low
ed and known friends had been killed,
had escaped. had fed-in disgrace or had
come over and surrendered to the L. :.
soldiers. The flower Of the fourth zone
had been captured, routed, put to flight
and driven from their barbados. There
they were with no hand to guide, no
sword to protect. or so they thought. So
they came with their bundles. and their
bales. their chicks and their children.
their weary feet blowing up the dust Of
the road into Brownsville.
So with all going over there were still
many whose faces were set toward the
United States. because they realized
that they had friends here and they did
not know whether Blanco would prove q
friend or an enemy. 1t was too soon to
test him. He had not shown himself. SO.
in fright and in fear with tremblings and
sobbings they picked up their little all.
their bags, their coffee pots, their bread
pans and YEARLY trooped for good Old
Glory land.
Like a deserted village, save for the
dOtting of the soldiers and the hospital
corp busily at work. seemed MatamorOs
yesterday. Closed were the houses of
business and residence and the town was
given over to the victorious army and

SIX OR

While the report comes from one Of
the captains Of BiancO's men that four
teen Of the men defending MatamorOS
were backed up against the wall Of the
city market house and shot about sun
up. The report coming to Consul John
son direct from General BlancO is to
the effect that only six were executed
and that for the reason given in the
story of the day.

the sightseccr. As smoothly as Il well
oiled clock were the workings of the
Blanco command, as if merely off a h0li-
day instead of a twenty hour siege and a
fierce fight. the soldiers set their horses
or patrolled their beats or walked the
streets or attended their hospital duties,
without a hitch and with only an occa-
siolal bugle call and a subdued viva.
The surgeon general was busy having
his men hunt through the streets and
alleys, and out through the mesquite
brush for the dead and wounded and
was having them brought to the market
plaza. to the hospital or to the electric
light plant.
In the improvised hospital at the cleo
trio light plant the doctors and aides
Ell to the score or more Of wounded and
in a nearby room nine dead lay waiting
the last sad rights.
Five or more physicians from Browns
vile spent almost the entire morning
ministering to the wounded. Among them
NClN notOu us ltIilIc. IUtNs hllh1d1ll
Dougherty and Works. These were assist
ed by physicians of Matam0ros and
many of the Brownsville laymen went
as red cross volunteers and right valiant
ly did they work and toll for the sake
Of nothing if not for the sake Of great
humanity. They s~taunched the flow Of
ebbing lifeblood. they bathed the fever
ed brow. they gave gracious drink and
stimulant to those lowering on the Dor
der, they fed the hungry and pressed
the cup of brOtherly kindness to the lips
Of the Mexican brother. Perhaps never
a more faithful, never a more unselfish,
never a more denying or self service was
given to man. All honor to the men went
into this after battle with death. to try
to snatch from the bullets nav one who
had almost become its victim and to
snatch them back with hands Of gentle
ness and love. Theirs not to reason why
men should shoot enc another down.
theirs not to know why strong men should
be crushed by the powerful blow Of the
proiectile, theirs but to do the best that
could be done for the vital spark that
was left.
Into the arms Of death these victims
had rushed each fighting for what they
thought was best. but now they were
carried back into the hands Of conlpa
sion. Strange as it may seem is was not
the women that ministercd by the pal
let of suffering, ii was the men, men of
business and men Of affairs. who laid
down their burden of dollar gathering
for so long a time as it took them TO do
a deed Of Kindness for their fellowman
in the name Of their fellow man. 4 cup
Of cold water in His name. is a prayer
for the soul of man.
But MatalnOrOS was not much SCARED
The bull ring was burned to the ground
and the hauscs around showed signs of
being hastily left or of having been fore
eel by attackers as furniture and bed
ding and pillows and scanty stores were
scattered around. The Cathedral spires
were puncturcd and torn i'm several
places, the scar Of bullets can be seen
on several houses. About a dozen houses
were blown up and set on fire by bombs

NIGHT HAVE SURRENDERED.

1t is the opinion Of many Of those who
had to stay in the city of Matamoros
and watch the fight that if the men had
been properly commanded they would
have either put up a better fight or a
surrender might have been arranged. As
it was the men were left i'm bitches and
didn't known anything but to fight. They
did not know even that they had a right
to surrender as they had no officers to
command them.

/" HE method of education devef
oped by Madame Montessori of
Italy is attracting the attention
of the whole educational world.
Her system involves reaching the intel
lect and heart OF the child through the
senses, developing all Of the senses, In
the Montessori system the child is left
to develop himself, the teacher being
merely an assistant at the process, and
not an absolute dictator feeding mental
pabulum by force, The Montessori
system has succeeded in wonderful
way In interesting the children in their
own development and making them love
their work. The proof that the true
road to the intellect is through the
senses is that mentally defective chill
dren educated by this method have en-"
tered school in the same grade with
normal children Of the same age.
The teaching forces of the world are
looking upon the new method with a
mingled apprehension and hope, The
