JUAREZ GAY FOR
'CINCO De Mayo
Anniversary of Victory at
Puebla Celebrated in the
Border City Friday.

Juarez was particularly Jubilant Fri
day. 1t was the great "Cinco de Mayo
meaning that May has a patriotic sig
nificance in Juarez somewhat identical
to April 81. in Texas. or July in the
United States.
Turning the calendar back to May .,
1852. while the United States was IN
the midst of its civil war, a courageous
young Mexican named IgnaciO Zaragosa
with a Mexican army defeated the
flower of the Macmillan army at Pu-
ebla and settled, once for all, the pre-
tertious claims Of the house of Austria
TO create an empire in this western
world
Each year JUarez and all the other
towns in Mexico bedeck themselves in
the three colOrs, red, green and white.
Friday JuareZ not only commemorated
the victory of 1852 but also there was
present the cheerful note of expectancy
that Mexico had passed through an I'M
duly long travail and that Gen, Alvaro
Obregon, the border City's guest, had
at last brought an element of peace
into an altogether too much shot up
Plaza Gay with streamers.
The Constitutional plaza, with the
slender mulberry trees, had gay
streamers floating from the branches.
Also pennants were swung from the
branches, and the bright colors were
very fascinating to the men and wO-
men who gathered upon the benches
below, and especially to the small per-
sons, who escorted the many miserable
men and women who had no eyes to
see the cOlors.
Band Concert Given.
In the morning hour there was no
evidence of festivity Noon brought
out many, and the band of the gaf-ri-
son gathered among the rose blooming
bushes of the Quartet general, and
PLAYED bright and patriotic airs.
The tri cOlors were flown from the
tops of all the public buildings, while
smaller flags and stretches OF bunting
framed the low roof tops of the adobe
buildings.

MEXICAN ROAD
READY FOR RUSH
North Western to Rebuild
Bridges to Handle U. S.
Army Supplies.

Preparations are being made by the
Mexico North Western railroad to
handle great quantities Of supplies
from the border to the army base at
Casas Grandes, an official of that com
pany announced Friday.
The railroad will be prepared to
handle all of the shipments Of sup
plies which are expected to be shipped
over that road as soon as the
agreement for the use Of the line is
ratified. The company now has four
locomotives IN service in Juarez and
on the northern division. In addition
there are eight big, long coupled loco
motives which are out Of service be-
cause they are too large to be used
over the "shoo-fly' tracks which have
been built around the burned bridges
on the road.
To Rebuild Bridges.
As these "shoo-fly" tracks leave the
main line at sharp angles il is I'M
possible for the long coupled engines
to negotiate these sharp curves. How
ever, the railroad company is prepar-
ing to rebuild the bridges where these
temporary pieces Of track have been
built around the bridges which have
been destroyed and abandon the "shoo-
files"
There is plenty Of rolling stock in
the Juarez yards to handle the initial
shipments of food and supplies TO the
army. II the supply of cars is eN-
hausted the Fl Paso railroads will be
called upon for additional cars and
these will be bonded to insure their
safe return. In addition to the loco
motives and rolling stock in Juarez
there arc II locomotives and consid-
cradle rolling stock at Pearson and

FOR NATIONAL GUARD

Patriotism in these stirring days
finds many new channels for express
sion, and instances arise every day
showing how deeply the new Ameri-

of the nation.
truly fine example of the alertness /!
with which the citizenry is doing its
share in the preparedness program is
found in the city of Springfield, Mass,
where through public subscription
there has been raised funds sufficient
to equip an entire company of the state
militia with the recently perfected
motorcycle machine guns. These eff
fective war machines developed by the
Hendee Manufacturing company, in
collaboration with T. S. army officers,
have been furnished to the militia at
cost, with the Hendee company max
ing a substantial contribution to the
fund as we'll The tires with which the
motorcycles and gun carriages are
equipped were a donation in the inter-
ests of patriotic endeavor contributed
by the Fisk Rubber company of Chico

| The equipment of this militia COM
! pany known as the Machine Gun com
pany of the Second regiment, Massa-
chusettS Volunteer Militia, consists Of
four machine guns, an ammunition
caisson, and twenty additional Indian

| Eighteen of the machines are fitted
with luggage carriers which convey
an additional supply of ammunition
| The remaining two machines carry

This most efficient fighting unit is
