LIFE IN VERA CRUZ, MEXICO
BY James w. Dell.

We found that since we left the
States orders had been received to
evacuate the city, but no date had been
set to leave, and in few days trans
ports began to arrive and we loaded all
bulky material so that when the date
should be set we could get away upon
short notice. More than three weeks
have passed and we are still here, with
all indications pointing to longer stay.
However time and time only will tell
the story.
| have had lots of time at my disposal
and have spent most of it in exploring
the city to its extreme limit and to all
points OF the compass. 1t is like all
other cities of Spanish culture that
have visited, and yet in other ways it
is quite different. What struck me as
greatly different is that their streets
are straight and fairly broad. Their
streets are of asphalt, that is, the bust
ness districts. The houses are all two
story-very few of them hlgher-and
most all are made of brick and motar,
plastered with cement and painted over
either pale blue, red or orange color.
The roof is red tile.
At present it is absolutely the clean.
est place ever saw. Some of the men
tell me that when the troops came
here that it was filthy. Others say
that it is no filthier than many cities in
the States. | am inclined to believe
the latter statement.
In the center of the town is a large
'quare called the Plaza. On one side
Is an immense cathedral and on the
other side is the city hall. On the two
remaining sides the walks are wide and
here we see an institution of which We
have heard but never seen-that is
open Ar cafes and on the side walks
la the center Is a lunch stand, while on
the outer rim there Is a wide prone
made, where there is always a band
concert, weather permitting. Here of
an evening one may STE the elite of the
clIy-ihe ladies-in what | suppose to
be the latest Partisan creations Some
OF them are very elegant and aristo-
cratic in appearance. am speaking
OF the pure whites and those nearly so.
The largest majority Of the people are
either pure Indian or half-breeds.

Dearest friepds:-
| know you would like to hear from
Vera Cruz and you would also like to
know what think Of the inhabitants.
As you all know spent four months of
watchful waiting at Texas City during
the summer months, and | had begun
to think would never see Mexico, on
the 18th of September ] received orders
to be ready to sail on the 18th. So on
the 10Th sixty.four of us boarded the
San Marcas, a small chartered trans.
port, for the land of our youthful
dreams of adventures and romances.
This trip was not made for our benefit,
but was regular trip of the San Mar
cas- as supply ship. We had very
nice and pleasant trip: the weather was
good and the sea calm.
Early one the morning of the 18th ,
we could see dim outline of noun
tain range to the southwest, which we
knew could be none other than the
mountains of old Mexico. About 10
O'Clock we could see the city of Vera
Cruz in the distance, and about noon
we got close enough to begin to look
for certain landmarks that we knew to
be feature of the place. The first
we LOOK for is Mt. Orizoba, which we
look for in vain, as the day is rather
hazy il cannot be seen. The other is
the Castle of San Jaun DE Ulloa. which
we easily recognize by its towers and
thick walls eiuplaCements for common
masts. The tort city is situated on q
bay Of at least and indeuture of the
coast line which gives them safe har-
Dor for shipping The only thing in
the way Of the harbur here is a con-
crete basin filed with breakwater and
is not very safe one as we can see
half dozen wrecks living on the beaca.
The docking facilities are excellent,
and well they might be as their port is
to Mexico what New York is to us. We
went ashore about p. M, reported at
the headquarters of the fourth field
artillery and were assigned to Is tie ry { i,
an organization | had served with in
the PHILIPPINES seven years ago. But |

TURKEY may FORCE
ITALY into THE war
Situation In Tripo|l Becoming
MenaCing.
May Avert "HoIy War;

London, Nov. 9.-The news from
Egypt is reassuring. There is no in.
dication that the efforts of Turkey and
Germany to stir the Moslems to revolt
has been successful. Religious lead
ers and tribal chiefs seem to have re-
jected Turkeys demand for holy war
and are promising loyalty to the en-
pire.
Rome, Nov. 9.-Italy is sending
troops to Tripoli to defend her settle
ments and loyal tribesmen against
Arab rebels and Bedouins who have
raided supply columns in the interior
and have attacked an encampment of
submissive tribesmen at Derna.
Turkey has disregarded the promise
made to Italy by Germany that the
porte would not threaten Italian colo.
MES, and that Turkey had no designs
on Tripoli Events are tending more
and more to force Italy into the war
on the side Of the allies. The newest,
most momentous crisis has developed
In Cyrenaica, due to the aggressiOns
of Bedouins stirred by the preachments
of Turkish and German agents.
News received here indicates Tur-
keys intention to drive the Italians
out of Tripoli and to regain the prov
inces lost in the war between Italy
and Turkey. For week Bedouins in
the interior have waylaid small de-
tachments of troops and have fired
upon and wounded Italian soldiers.
BedOuins appeared in force at Derna,
on the eastern extremity of the Cyren-
aica promontory and made a savage
effort to destroy the encampment
there. The desert marauders were
driven off by Italian infantrymen.
1t seems probable that Italy, within
the next day or so, will demand an ex-
PLANTATION from Turkey and possibly
from Germany, since Germany has as
sume1 to guarantee the safety of Trip
oil.
