Civil War Flares.
Guanajuato and Aguascalientes are
two other states where civil war has
broken out recently, and a dozen rebel
bands are vying with each other for
supremacy. In Guanajuato, rebels
are peppering trains carrying Amer
lean tourists, but no one has been in
jured in the raids to date. 1t is an
obvious effort by the revolutionists to
discourage the tourist trade which
Mexico City merchants are welcoming
so eagerly.
Each rebel band in itself is serious
problem only locally and little more
than a nuisance to the national gov
ernment. but with 33 of them ravag-
ing several states at the same time,
they add to the tinder of dissatisfac-
tion and encourage other ambitious
Rochas to lead revolts.
The rebels this year, though, are
hampered by a lack OF American
money. Several have agents working
along the American border, seeking
capital. but the men and the big
American concerns once interested in
Mexican revolutions and willing to
gamble money are gone, and it has

BY GORDON GORDON.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, July
CN.A.NAO.-Anothe Pancho Villa
Is riding high in the mountains less
than rs miles from this city Of
cathedral spires.
He Is as staggering and daring as
the first one and his reputation is
as CORY. The villagers report that
he Is just as murderous toward his
enemies and just as kindly to the
poems.
Gen. Lauro Rocha knows all of
the Villa and Sandino tricks in guer-
rila warfare and he is typical Of
the 33 major bandit chieftains who
today are terrorizing mountainous
regions In 10 of the 90 Mexican states.
He and the other rebel command
sntes, who lead about 5000 tattered
and half-starved renegades, are ma
neuvering to catapult Mexico into
such a chaos of murder and flames
that the Cardenas administration will
collapse. They, then, would ride into
Mexico City and sit at the right hand
of some less hardy successor who
would rather have them on a lat
pay roll than fight them.
Politics of Gunpowder.
Such is Mexican poltics-the poll
tics of gunpowder-and such is the
keg of dynamite in the cart OF the
Cardenas administration.
So frequent have the raids become IN
recent days that the United States
Army has agents in Laredo, El Paso,
Nogales and other border cities to
watch for rebel activities which might
endanger Americans along the Inter
national Line.
The United States border patrol
too. has doubled its vigilance toward
enforcing the American embargo on
arms since a shipment of guns and
ammunition was discovered recently
at Laredo. Tex. destined presumably
for Cuban rebels but probably FOL
insurgent forces in Mexico.
During the last few weeks, the
rebel attacks have become more ano
more frequent until the daily cas-
ualties, based on figures for the last
two months, average four dead and
es many wounded.

never are able to locate the rebels.
There was the time recently when
Gen. Luis Ybarra was shooting mayors
in Sonora. A detachment of his
troops rode through Magdalena while
the garrison soldiers continued with
their siestas. For eight weeks, he
played about the State-until Mexico
City grew suspicious and dispatched
another commander.
If a community is in sympathy
with the revolutionists, the soldiers
usually adopt laissez-faire policy and
let the rebels shoot a school teacher
or two.
Unlike the other rebel leaders, Gen.
Rocha commands a well-disciplined
army of about 800 men. They are
equipped with late model American
rifles and machine guns. Their
ammunition is smuggled here by OK
carts from the United States.
Invade Larger Cities.
The rebels confine their raids to
towns of a few thousand. although
now and then they slip into this
city of 175,000 and into Mexico City
to plaster the MISUNDERSTANDING
the police stations and army bar
racks-with posters calling on the
people to rise up against "sovietism. !"
Military authorities report that
more than 100 have been slain within
the last 10 weeks in this revolution. +"
The town of Atotonilo, south of here,
looks like a battlefield. A few of the
houses are spattered with blood and
any number are riddled with bullets
Like most rebels Rocha processes to
fight for Christ and God" and
promises to reopen the churches If
he ever comes into power

Cardenas Arms Agrarians.
That is one reason why the presi-
pent armed the agrarians, the farmers.
Besides giving him a powerful per-
sonal army, in case of any defections
on the part of generals, he expects
the farmers to serve as rural police.
Since this Is their government, and
they are either going to get or al
ready have received hacienda lands,
they are personally interested in elm
mating dangerous bandit gangs.
The army has not always shown
itself eager to run down the rebels.
1t is commonly known here that
regiment after regiment rides into
the hills after Gen. Rocha and holds
a picnic somewhere. The doughty
little general. who is the slender, wiry
type and clean shaven, visits this
city every few weeks to meet his
agents and take care of business
matters. He doesn't wear any dis
guises and he doesn't travel incognito.
He sees his friends in the newspaper
Offices, chats with acquaintance IN
hotel lobbies and is entertained at
banquets by his wealthy admirers
Despite protests by city and state
authorities that they are cooperating
with the federal government in efforts
to find him, they always look the
other way on his sojourns here. 1t IS
good politics. Most of Jalisco decidedly
likes him as war lord" and he can
ruin or break any politician who would
dare oppose him.
Helped Poor Peasants.
Many legends are growing about
him, just as they did about Francisco
Villa. There is one that tells OF a
poor peasant who appealed to him for
help when rich hacendado was about
to seize his few acres because of
money the peon had borrowed and
failed to pay back. Rocha called
upon the hacendado for a tribute
payment" took the money to the
peasant, who passed it back to the
hacienda owner. There was another
occasion when the general found
family starving and raided bakery
for supplies.

Cardenas Is confident that the
agrarians, with the aid of the regular
army, will wipe out the rebel camps
this Summer. If they do. they will
have eliminated q serious threat to
Mexican peace.
