WHY E1EXECASlS FIGHT

John Paul Dana, formerly news elitor 9f the Mexico City HeraIj. and col"nel of the Foreign Legion under General CbI2Gun k writing series Of articles on Mexico, and from one of these in the St. Louis Globe Democrat tLe following is taken:
 "Whv are the MaAic&ns fighting among themselves, and how does 1t come abJu. that there k one rebel ion after another? l. the question which has been asked me time and again
 "The men who are in the various Mexican armies are, and have been, having the best time of u cir lives since Francisco N2t.ero started his rebellion, something Ike five years ago. Today they would rather have war than reace. and 1t does not make much difference about the character of the var.
 After 9 residence of almost ten years on Mexican soil and close acquaintance with political industrial and economic con Gitions, l must acknowledge that patriotism with the peon Mexican is an unknown fercnt wars 1 have seen troops of inferior quantity At divers times during tie dIf numbers surrender to more powerful forcas, and a short time afterward fight against their former comrades.
 The Mexican am speaking of the peon. or lower class-has been serf, a slave, aii his life And this life dates back to the time of Corte2. No slavehcder of the old South ever held the power over his blacks that is exercised by the rich haciendados over the peons. It is that of life and death, and the soul of no poor Mexican is his own, neither man nor woman.
 "A taste of unwonted luxury came when Madero started to depose Porfirio Diaz. The soldiers had meat at least once 3 day, when ordinarily they ate flesh but once a week. if they were fortunate. They had the loot of the towns. They picked up gold here and there, and they were given every license. Women were theirs, as they took them, for women are held chearly among most Mexicans. And why should they return to peace when there was such a good time during war condi- tions. 4 life now and then did not amount to much, for they held life as cheaply as they do women.
 That Is one great reason today why the Mexicans are fighting. They have found war conditions much more to their taste than those of peace What patriotism will develop with the invasion of the American troops is more or less problematcal 1 be lieve that they will arise, however, and fight for a common cause against the grin goes"
