 "There are no heavy field pieces whatsoever, even at the fort. The largest gun held by the federals is an old three-inch field piece that looks as if it had served it's usefulness in the Mexican war against the United States. Possibly it didn't.
 "Juarez is practically surrounded by a network of trench, such as we useo in France. With the equipment Ii, hand, however. these trenches car serve no purpose other than to afford shelter for 'Carranza's men.

Modern warfare with antiquatec weapons is being waged by Mexican federals at Juarez in an effort to save the famous old border city from the hands of Villas rebel army. So de- clared George Nichols, a recently '. turned Tank from overseas, last even ing. Nichols arrived in Phoenix Sat urday evening, coming directly from Fl Paso. Thursday he visited Juarez and had occasion to witness the prep arations being made by the federai forces for the impending battle.
 But for the lack of modern equip ment. the battle of Juarez might be a real honest-to- goodness engagement, '" Nichols declared. The federals have made extensive preparations for a long engagement, but because of their out of-date weapons, will probably be un- able to withstand an attack of any momentum.
