Pancho Villas most cherished Sc

portant guides to the expedition that

in a diary taken from the body of
Pablo Robes, Villas prime assassin,
after he was killed in the massacre
of Columbus.
The diary is hand book Of
slaughter and loot, an astounding
revelation OF the inside life and
cam paign of the Villa forces. But
it is not as a human document that
the book is important to the state
department and the army.
Jotted Spanish notes reveal the
mysteries that have enabled Villa
to defy law, order and humanity in
the northern hills. They disclose
the hidden trails over which Villa
led his men when pressed, they show
where his cannon were hidden and
they disclose the names Of the men
who are smuggling arms to him as
well as those Who are acting as his
agents along the border The dark
pages of the book also tell of plotting
that preceded the Santa Ysabel mas
sacre, when IS Americans were taken
from a train and slaughtered, and
