the border. You hear many regret
for the old days before the first rebel
lion, when every Ell Pasoan had friends
in Juarez. Since then the better ele-
ment has left Juarez almost entirely
and few people visit the Mexican city
except out of curiosity. In fact. the
more prominent Ell Paso merchants stay
away. because they find themselves and
their money value are too well known
in Mexico.
A few miles from Ell Paso Is the
army post of Fort Bliss. Its garrison
may have something to do with the eX-
.emplary behavior of the Mexicans on.
both sides of the river. Fort Bliss
usually contains three or four regi-
ments of infantry or cavalry and reg
iment of artillery. The fort is head
quarters for a long division of the bor-
der patrol, and part of the troops are
liable to be transferred at any moment
to the scene of a new disturbance. Thus
two regiments recently went to Doug
las. But enough troops are always left
In Fort Bliss to put down any possible
trouble in that vicinity; A telegram
to Washington would bring them down
to take charge of the city.
The presence of the artillery is also
strong safeguard. The sky line OF the
business district of Ell Paso, with its
towering skyscrapers, looms up from
Juarez as the sky line of New York
looms up from the lower harbor-no
doubt a tempting target to any outlaw
leader who happens to have cannon
and a grievance. The thought that the
artillery of Fort Bliss would quickly
knock him and his cannon to powder
is sure to have restraining effect.
Ell Paso has enjoyed absolute quiet
for years, ever since the battle of
Juarez sent stray bullets into the heart
of the business district and killed sew
eral citizens The city is obviously
prosperous. Some people have accused
her of favoring war and opposing peace
because war brings business Ell Paso
protests that she prospers in spite of
the war. The great volume of business
lost in Mexico has been replaced from
the southwestern part of the United
States. With the restoration of order
Ell Paso expects a boom.
For this reason the recognition OF
Carranza has been favorably received,
though Villa is probably more popular
Any step toward a stable
in Mexico is hailed en-
thusia stically in Ell Paso. For five
years the southern republic has been
spending it's money for means of de-
struction rather than construction. For
instance, it is said that not a single new
wagon has gone into Mexico in four
years With the coming of peace should
come a great demand for the neces-
saries of everyday life. Ell Paso does
not forget that to Mexico she is truly
Ell Paso del Norte-the gateway of the
north.

Yet so long as Villa has money to pay
to take the chance of being shot by
the border patrol or drowned in the
Rio Grande while getting them to him.
Various bold expedients have been
tried by the smugglers. When the Rio
Grande is entirely dry, as sometimes
happens here, their venture becomes
comparatively simple. They have only
to dash across the river bed. When
the stream is low the shifting sand
that fills the channel turns to quick
sand and the passage is dangerous
enough to make the smuggler earn his
profits. In very high water there is
the risk of drowning.
