HORSES ARE FAVORED
TO MEMS DISCOMFORT

JUAREZ, Mex, April % (by Asso-
ciated Press) American soldiers in
France who rode in stock cars mark
ed for 80 men or Is horses had the
best of it compared to the Mexican
federal soldier when travelling on troop
trains in campaign. Cavalry horses
are given the preference over the
soldiers who are forced to ride on top
of the stock cars with their families
huddled under crudely improvised
tents made from scraps of canvas or
pieces of tin. The usual way of load
ing troop trains is to put the horses
in the cars, the soldiers and their
families on top and the impedimenta
under the car strapped to the brace
rods. Women and children even ride
under the cars on these brace rods.
The makeup of Mexican troop
train is: locomotive, tender, armored
cars with machine guns, stock cars
with soldiers, their families and cav
airy horses; fat car with steel tur-
ret containing a revolving mountain
gun, caboose for the use of the train
crew, private cars for the staff Off
GERS and the private car of the com
handing general at the rear end.

they exist by the very fact that they
have equal opportunity with papers
which are financed for other purposes,
whether to defend the democratic
party or advocate chiropractic treat

not necessarily perfection.
