the forces which now have control of
portion Of the Tampico district.
The troops will be commanded by
General Castro, secretary of war, the
letter added. This military movement
caused considerable discussion in the
national capital, as 1t was believed to
have an international political signifi-
canoe instead of being a purely mill
'ary movement against an anti-gov-
ernment force, according to the let
ter.
Reports have reached the border
here that Palaez was being paid by
some of the foreign oil companies in
the Tampico-Tuxpam district for pro-
lection from the Villa forces and 9TH
er rowing bands of armed rebels and
that his receipts from the oil com
panies took the form of production
tax while the companies paid the
Mexican government tax on all pc
troleum products exported.
AS the allied countries receive q
large part of their fuel supply from
this Mexican field, the proposed
movement of federal troops into the
district has attracted much attention
throughout northern Mexico.
Gen. Francisco Murguia, command
er of the northeastern military zone
recently and it has been reported that
he would cooperate in this move
against Manuel Palaez, but this was
never confirmed officially.
Federal troops We're also reported
to have been massed at San Luis po-
tosi for the purpose of moving east
ward to Tampico, rebuilding the rail-
road as they went.
Gen. Manuel Dieguez was to be al
the head of this command.

jubflant, and by dint of cross-ques-
tioning I got the truth out of one of
them.
What had happened was that one
OF their own machines had appeared
over the town. 1t was of new pat
tern, not previously seen in that
neignborhood, and as the only officer
entrusted with plans of new German
machines was absent that night it
was treated as an enemy machine and
fired on. It was only when the fall
len machine and it's crew were picked
up next morning on the outskirts of
the town that the truth was discover
ed. That, however, did not prevent
the enemy issuing to the world the
lying statement that an Allied air
raid on Cologne had been beaten off
and one British machine brought down
| in flames.
| have seen a good deal Of the bru-
tally which German officers of GER
tain type show to our prisoners.
One day I saw a party of weary
men marched in. The German Of
ficer in charge was a brute. He Sc
lected the weakest of the men to bully
them. With me at that time was
young Lieut.. S. He could not
stand this, and when the German Of
ficer advanced to repeat his tctics
s. stepped forward and told him
what he thought of him. The bully
was furious. He tried to rush at
s.. but was held by a brother of
ficer. That night s. was visited
by the brother officer and told that
he was challenged to a duel, which
was to take place next morning be-
hind the camp in which we were. s.
accepted the challenge, though we sus-
Ipected treachery. 1t was agreed that
I should be SIS second, and in case
of dirty work I went to the meeting
tplace armed.
| The Victor's Fate
When we got there the German Of
ficer and his second had arrived.
There were three other German offic-
ers, and when I protested it was
agreed that the duel should be defer
red to allow the attendance of an
equal number of British officers. It
took place half an hour afterwards.
s. was wounded, but he hit his man
in the chest, and the German bully
died that night in the camp hospi-
tai
| There was a big row, over this. s.
was taken before various big pots in
the camp and asked to explain what
he meant by fighting and killing a
German officer. If s. had been kill
ed it wouldn't have mattered. AS it
was nobody worried about his wound.
They threatened to put him on trial
for murder, but one of the German
officers who had been present at the
duel was so keen on insisting that it
was a fair fight that this idea was
dropped. In a few days s. was re-
moved to the Wittenberg camp, where
he contracted typhus through being
housed in quarters that had not been
tenanted since the great typhus out
break there. -(By the international

STOCK MARKET

New York, March 26.-Opening.-
Heavy buying Of Liberty bonds, es-
pecia1y the second Is, at an advance
of one-haf on one per cent, was the
outstanding feature Of today's early
operations on the stock exchange. The
stock list as a whole reflected the
feeling of quiet confidence prevailing
in high financial quarters. Prices
were slightly irregular, but fractional
reversals in some of the more inapor-

We were well treated on the whole
at first, with one exception, and that
exception was found where we least
expected it. The German nurses were
monsters in. human form. They seem
ed to take delight in adding to our
sufferings.
When the Germans heard that some
of their prisoners were being treated
in a certain way by our government
because they had been caught carry
ing on U-boat outrages, the order
came that we were to be moved to less
comfortable quarters, and for three
weeks we were housed in a building
like a workhouse under the care of
an elderly shrew, in whom the milk
of human kindness had turned sour.
She examined US critically every
day to see whether we were losing
weight or were otherwise suffering
from the treatment accorded US.
Woe betide the man who had the
appearance of thriving in spite OF
everything. Such a man was certain
at least to have his rations cut down
and lucky was he who did not find
himself punished in some other way
for being sufficiently optimistic to
keep cheerful in spite Of his surround
ings.
In Terror of Air Raid Reprisals
Some time later we were removed
to Cologne, where we saw something
of the state of the German civil pop
ulation. Every day queues lined VI
around the shops, but not half of those
who waited were ever served.
One day I got a chance of talking
to one of the guards, and he was
frank enough about the position IL

He said tht the principle of eff mar

was being enforced in the big town;
of Germany, and that if munitior
workers failed to keep good time they
were punished by having their rations
cut off for a number of days, accord
| ing to the enormity of the offence.
It was while staying at Cologne thai
realized for the first time how
much the Germans dread air repri-
sails. One of the British prisoners, who
ARRIVED last November, brought the
story that our people had decided tc
bomb all German towns in return fol
the raids on London. The story
which was heard by the guards, soor
spread among the civilians.
From that time onward Cologne
was a city Of nerves. On one occa-
sion we were reused from bed in the
middle of the night by heavy gun
fire. In the midst of all the excite
ment the sky was lit up by a grea'
glare, and a bright object was seen te
crash through space. Bursts of cheer
ing came from different parts of the
town, and the guards exultingly tole
ms that a British airnan had beer
brought down in flames during a great
raid on the town.
