IN CAMP WITH CARRANZA! NEW PICTURES AND
STORY FROM REBEL FRONT

STORY FROM
BY FRED L. BOALT
Tampico, Mexico.-Terrible fellows
are these rebels. Bloodthirsty and
relentless bandits. Yet when l went
among them at the old Quartet, they
gave me food. When night came
they gave me blanket. And in the
morning 1 joined with them in enter
tanning two pink-cheeked and BASH
full sailor boys who had strayed from
the Dutch man-o'-war in the river.
We drank their black coffee-the
Dutch boys and land smoked their
cigarettes beneath a sign which said:
"Fumar Probe
L gave them the English transIa-
ton, Smoking Forbidden" and they
managed it very well. But when the
Dutch boys gave them "Rooken Yer
boden," their tongues twisted and
they roared with boisterous laughter
over their failure.
Then they posed for the camera,
and it was a pleasant game. They
seemed more like amiable children
than bandits children playing at
war, with real rifles and with belts
heavy with real cartridges for toys.
This, though, is mistaken impress
sion. They are neither bandits nor
children, but real men, awake and
pursuing an ideal. -...
By and by there came to us man
from the north. He had been a cow
boy in Texas, and he spoke English.
Lean and worn and very old he was,
but agile as any boy.
1--WE do not like this fighting" he
told me- eve are tired of it. But we
