CAM0UFLACE
FIRST IRIlST USED BY
THE MEXICANS
Soldiers in Days of Diaz
Placed Straw Hats on Long
Poles to Mislead Enemy.

Juarez, Mexico, Oct. 1.-Camoufage
as a war art was known in Mexico
long before it was used in Europe
although not by that name. Mexican
soldiers since the days of Diaz have
practiced concealment for military ad-
vantage. They have been known to
place their high crowned straw hats
on poles stuck in sand hills in such
way as to make the enemy force be-
lieve they were defending the hill,
then flank the enemy from another di-
rection. Huerta's federal soldiers
used camouflage to conceal the port
cars. A checkerboard pattern was
painted on the sides Of these cars and
black and white squares concealed the
rife ports. &A
The Mexican fighting men have also
used the trick of covering their high
hats and bodies with brush to advance
on the enemy positions through. thick
cts. Villa originated the plan Of driv-
ing a herd Of cattle into a besieged
town at night in order to draw the
fire of the defenders and to explode
any mines in the streets.
The most primitive, though effec-
Mexico was the practice of the Tara
haumara Indian scouts with Madero's
revolutionary army. These half naked
scouts would precede the army and
by doing a kind of patter dance,
raised cloud Of dust which concealed
them from the viev of the enemy and
permitted them to zpproach enemy
| positions without being. detected in
their envelope of dust which re-
sembled a dust whirl common on
Mexican deserts.

erful, indeed she will be left power
full, doubtless prosperous and doubt
less wealthy, but no longer a tyrant
who can use the nations which she
