soldiers can ever win victory, yet they
do. The reason is that their opponents
are no better than they, in their own pc
culiar way. The rebel OF the north has
more incentive to fight than the Federal
"soldado." He knows that victory means
loot and an extension of the area In
which ne can steal and plumber. The
rebel OF the north is also a harder man
than the Federal from the south ana
often knows great deal more ABOUT
shooting.
These rebel advantages. however, are
offset by better organization on the part
Of the Federals There is a nucleus or
the Federal army which is fairly well
trained. and there are few officers IN II
,who are highly efficient There are many
officers. however, VINO lack interest ana
zeal. and because Of this the Federal
army is not all that it should be.
A Mexican soldier is not vicious hSht-
ing man. His one mission in life seems
to be to expend as much ammunition as
nossible. He fires at will and also at
random. II he can possibly do so. he will
stand behind some building and push his
gun around the corner anu theh' WIN
hands extended as far as possible, loosely
holding his rifle, he blindly fires down the
street.
An American navy officer who saw all
the recent fighting at Tampico, when the
rebels made what seemed to be a forml-
dable attack, reported to his commander
in chief that he had seen two miracles IN
one day.
What were they" asked the admiral
zone was that the rebels did not capt
ure Tamplco and the other was that the
Federals did not annihilate the rebels

No Good Guns in Mexico.

The Mexican government has plenty OF
rifles and apparently an abundance of
ammunition. The equipment however. Is
ali old. There are exceedingly few, If
any. modern high powered rifles. An eX-

/, 10 a significant thing about the Mexi-
can army that one never sees Mexican
soldiers on liberty, with the general eN-
cention OF bandsmen, who have special
rr;viIeces. The reason is that the soldiers
are kept locked up in their barracks ana
narnnitted little freedom. IL they were
turned loose, as American soldiers they
would disappear forever, as far as the
army is concerned
When the ''leva" is AT work the "volun-

They are equipped with rifles. ammunition

Miss Walsh Splendid
In Vaudeville Offering.

A restless party in the gallery, who
probably had its own ideas of enter
tainment. took away the edge from
the excellent headline act, The
Countess Nadine" of Miss Blanche
Walsh and her company, at the For
syth Monday matinee.
The little play is turgid sort OF
vehicle for a person so capable as
Miss Walsh. but through it all the
power of the star is plain. There is
a darkly dignified setting to the act,
which heightens its somber effect.
Miss Walsh is supported splendidly
by Wells E. Knibloe Theodore Bah
cock and William M. Travers. Miss
Walsh shows the same emotional
power that won her an envied place
on the legitimate stage
Bright enough is the act that fol-
lows. that of Stepp. Goodrich ana
King, young men who sing and play
the banjo and piano. 1t is unfortu-
nate that they select as an encore a
burlesque on the Salvation Army,
which is hardly to be considered good
taste.
Laura Buckley has an act in which
she impersonates excellently several
well-known types, adding interest to
her work by changing costumes in
full view of the audience. The NC
Banns, in a juggling act. prove them
selves unusually adept with Indian
clubs and with straw hats, which do
anything they want them TO, II
seems.
Hugh Mccormack and Grace wal
lace show ability as ventriloquists in
an, act that is a little out of the ordi-
nary. James B. Donovan and Ida
Arnold, a well known pair in vaude-
willie. appear in an act of right clever
singing and talking. Miss Teddy Os-
born. with a pack of dogs and a lone
monkey, opens the bill.
