HAS Remarkable Record.

Paris.-The most remarkable pa
tient in Base Hospital No. 35 is a
Moro Head-Hunter, who turned up in
France six months ago with COM
pany of American soldiers who had
just come from the Philippine Islands.
His name is recorded as Philipo Mo.
reno, and his home as the Philippine
Islands. No one suspected him of hav-
ing remarkable record until his story
came out one day after chance meet
ing with the colonel in charge of the
base hospital to which he was taken
from the front. And this is how it
happened:
A Red Cross searcher hearing of a
man suffering from five bayonet
wounds who. had just been brought
into Base Hospital No. IS, hurried to
his bedside with fruit and an offer
to send home any messages he might
wish delivered. The man, unusually
big and dark, accepted the fruit CRATE
fully, but assured her, that he would
be we'll enough himself to write soon
to his sister, his only living relative.
Sings Weird Songs.
And he kept his word in spite of
the five bayonet wounds which healed
so rapidly that all the doctors of the
hospital marveled at the remarkable
constitution of the dark-skinned man.
The patient was soon convalescent,
and the first place he visited was the
Red Cross recreation hut. Some one
was playing the piano; as usual, and
during the afternoon one of the men,
bers of the sanitary corps sang one OF
Burley's negro songs, 'Deep River"
Philipo offered to sing the song in the
original and astounded his audience
with weird version full of minor
notes and harmonies that made shiv-
ers run-up and down susceptible
backs.
And thereafter the Filipino insisted
on entertaining gatherings in the rec
reation hut each afternoon with wild
songs and curious chants and recita-
lions. Some of these were very spicy
tales indeed of the underworld and it's
denizens, and finally the Moro waxed
confidential and began telling tales
of the wilds of the Philippine Islands
and the days when he had hunted
heads.

The colonel of the hospital, attract

dropped in one afternoon to listen.

he announced. "He's too tall. served

Just then the Filipino came up and

VILLA-HERRERA
..FUED ENDS With
DEATH OF FOUR
Bandit Chief Exacts Bloody
Toll for Desertion by
Herreras.

.Jurez, Mexico, June 7.-When old
Jose de la Luz Herrera and his two
sons trudged out to the Parral ceme-
terry before the Villa firing squad in
the dawn of Easter morning, a Mexi-
can fued more bloody than any of the
Kentucky mountains came to a eli
max.
Francisco Madero's call to the
mountain men of Chihuahua in the
fall of 1910 brought Villa from his
brigand rendezvous in the Sierra
Madres, Crozco from the San Andres
llaons and the Herrera brothers from
the copper mines of Parral. To-
gether they fought the revolution of
1901 and together they marched
into Mexico City in the triumphal
entry. "Pancho", Malclovio and Luis
all wore the tri-color of the revolu-
tionary army.
When Madero was killed and the
Constitutionalist revolution started,
the Carranza and Villa again took up
arms against the Herrera federals.
But the inevitable break between Car
rama, the educated and Villa, the
bandit, occurred. All of Villas old
friends and followers remained with
him but the Herreras father and five

sons. They joined Carranza against
Villa. A quarrel on the station plat
form at Jimeniz during which de-
nunciations and dares were hurled at
Villa by Maclovio, Herrera was SAID
to have been the prime factor IN
breaking this long friendship be-
tween Villa and the Herrera family.
Maclovio, the deaf and Luis, the
lame; joined Carranza as generals OF
the line; Old Jose de la luz (Joseph
of the Light the father went back to
Parral and became mayor. Melchor
moved to Juarez and became mayor
there. Villa led his hosts to defeat
against Oregon, fighting under Car
ranza's banner. To his Golden Ones
Villa swore an oath he would exterml-
nate the entire Herrera family.
Later Maclovio was killed by con-
cealed machine gun as he crossed the
border to join Carranza's forces. The
report said it was case of mistaken
identity.
Christmas week, 1917, Villa sprung
surprise attack on Rorreon, COM
mercial capital of the rich, Laguna
district. Luis Herrera was the Car
rama commander. He was captured,
tortured and mutilated, then hanged
to telegraph pole with a picture Of
Carranza suspended from the body.

Two years elapsed and Villa rode

rera were commendersin this organi-
zation. Villa disarmed and pardoned
all but the three Herreras. The
other officers interceded for them.
"No! This is a personal matter"
Villa said.
Old man Herrera advanced, saluted
and offered his hand. Villa refused
it. Realizing his fate was sealed the
head of the Herrera home denounced
Villas as "the greatest traitor and
worst enemy Mexico had ever known"
"Take them out to the Campro-
santo", Villa ordered and, to the dead
march of the drums they were led out
and executed on Easter morning. All
died bravely, without eye bandages
and facing the firing squad squarely.
This done Villa announced that his
oath had been fulfilled, his grudge
satisfied and that the younger Her.
rera boy would be spared.
All the Herreras were famous in
Mexico. 1t was Maclovio who charged
and captured machine gun nest at
the battle of Terreon in 1914 when a
general of division under Villa. Tuis
Herrera was one of the first of Made
ros commanders to be wounded.
Herrera, the father, was credited with
saving Major Frank Tompkins from
humiliation at the hands of a mob at
Parral during the Villa chase. Mel
Choir, as mayor Of Juarez, was always
friendly to the Americans and saved
many Americans from death before
the firing squad. The other of the
Herreras is dead and only the boy
survives Villas hatred and then only
by grace of Villas pardon.

Toronto.-Despite the approach of
normal peace when there will be no
more "enemies," the alien enemy Ques-
ton Is still far from settled In Canae;a.
Controversy surges around two
points, first: Is the alien enemy to be
allowed to work? and, second: Is he to
be allowed to vote?
Conditions During War.
When the war was on the alien en-
envy worked. There were many objec-
tons to it, but labor was so scarce
that the alien enemy who could work
was rarely interfered with. And he
made big wages. Now labor is not so
scarce, and the alien enemy's job Is
more precarious. 1t is not employers
who are interfering with him, nor Is
1t government authority.

AS TO the vote, the alien enemy lost
