and railroads earned for him the title OF "The
Destroyer" He never displayed any such mill
tary ability as Villa; but destruction is popular
with the Mexican soldiery, it must he remembered.
Gutierrez pundered and robbed with slight
heed to what Carranza and Villa doing. He
seized property of Americans and put il to his
purposes, while Carranza ignored protests
despite his title of first chief.
Last July he sent demand to Carr, ordering
him to resume all the Mazipul industries at once
IL must be remembered that the British company
had been closed down for months. There was no
fuel, no cars, railroad tracks, and there was
financial basis. Yet the order from the
watchman read to start up the works, North
Mexico is pacfed and there is excuse for
delay"
1t was physical impossbility, so Carr went
to Carranza with final protest Carranza in
formed Carr he could delay resumption, and
for this Gutierrez seized 100000 worth of
owned by the company and sought to sell it as
contraband. in which he probably succeeded.
Carranza has degenerated into the head of
band of looters. The scenes accompanying his
evacuation of Mexico City, it is learned,
disgraceful. The national treasury was robbed
of all except about 600 pesos which must
have been overlooked. Every ounce of gold and
silver in the mint was taken. Also there went
printing presses, plates and the entire stock of
bank note paper in the government printing

private citizens and foreigners.
At the Buena Vista station of the Mexican rail-
way train after train drew out in the drec-
ton of Vera Cruz laden down with every
ceivabe sort of punder-motors, furniture, horses,
pianos paintings and safes. Even Huerta
outHuertaed.
The now ridiculous Carranza is set up at Vera
Cruz. His cause is hopelessy lost. Among his
remaining leaders, however, Gen. Alvaro Obregon
looms large. He is undoubtedly a strong man.
He has kept Gen. Lucio Banco in line for Car
rama and saw that the retreat from Mexico City
was not an entire rout. However, Obregon is a
plunderer like the rest
Another man who should not escape mention
is Governor Jose Maria Maytorena of Sonora
whose men have been besieging the Carranza
general, Hill in Naco In Sonora Maytorena is
supreme and he is dolized by the Indians. He
is not friendly toward Americans, and there is
well-defned conviction among the American army
officers along the border that Maytorena could
by a word have prevented the snipers' bullets
which killed and wounded So persons from COM

If Maytorena ever decides to follow the path from
