ARE ANXIOUS TO SERVE STATE
General Felipe Angeles and Son and Gen
eral Jose Maytorena Spend Sunday at
Stephenson Farm in Somers Seek
Cattle for Great Ranch.

Bronzed men who rode the trail with
General Villa over the plains and
through the mountain passes of Mexi-
co, rode in automobiles in Kenosha on
Sunday when General Felipe Angeles
and his son, Alberto Angeles, and GEN
eral Jose Maytorena, governor of the
state of Sonava and nephew of the
famous Ramon Ramirez, came to Keno
sha to visit the stock farm of former
United States Senator Isaac Stephen
son in the town Of Somers. These men
of. the revolution are soldiers only a
part of the time and General Angeles
gives much of his time to the pursuits
of peace He came here looking for
pure bred cattle to place on his great
ranch near Ell Paso, Texas, where he
has a herd Of more than a million cat
tie. General Angeles is one of the
Wealthiest Of the Mexicans and at the
same time he has been one of the most
loyal supporters Of Villa, who has been
called the bandit chief. There is a
wonderful difference between the stories
told of Villa In the kilograms from
Mexico and those told by the generals
Of the army Of Villa who visited in
Kenosha on Sunday.
The Villa described by the Carranza
government is not known to these men
but on the other hand they declare that
the man they are proud to serve as
their leader is the real representative
of the real people of the Mexican Re
public. General Angeles does not speak
good English, but his son Alberto, is
well educated and speaks several
languages fuently. General Maytorena
speaks excellent English and he has
spent a considerable time in this
country.
1--WE are interested in serving
Mexico,' said one of the generals in
discussing conditions over the border.
We feel that Americans are misled
as to the conditions there. General
Carranza is brave man, but he is the
representative of an aristocratic class
in Mexico rather than representative
of the people. General Villa on the
othe- hand stands for the people. He
wants the people to have freedom in
religion, more and better schools, he
stands for the freedom of the press.
His great asset is his own love of the
common people and real desire to
make Mexico their country.O
Neither General An. eles OF. General
Maytorena would discuss the Carranza
States in ecogrizing Carranza as the
head Of the Mexican government.
They expressed the opinion that the
Carranza government, like others in
Texico, VOID be short lived and that
IN time the people Of this country
would come to see that Villa was real
patriot with the best interest of the
whole people Of Mexico III view.
ampanying the two distinguished
fighters from the southern neighbor
was Albert W. Brickwood, Jr., Of
Chicago, vice consul for the Argentine
Republic in Chicago.
The Mexicans and Consul Brickwood
spent Saturday evening at the Stephen
son farm returning to Chicago just be-
fore noon on Sunday. They had no
commissions to buy munitions for the
revoluntary party under General Villa,
but we're simply seeking to get the best
possible Holstein cattle for the FL Paso
I ach of General Angeles. The old
general is an authority on the cattle
situation in the southwestern part Of
this country as well as in Mexico. His
vast holdings are now nearly all in the
United States along the Mexican Dor
der. 1t is declared, however, that in
the army of Villa there have been no
more distinguished leaders than the
two men who spent Saturday night and
Sunday in Kenosha.
