’ IMITATION OF
QUAIL HABITS
JUAREZ, Mexico, Aug. 21 (by As
sociated Press).—Francisco Villa’s
method of evading pursuit by Mexi
can government troops is almos
identical with that used by a covey o:
quail to escape the hunter. Ever
the detail of protecting coloring has
been applied by Villa, his men al
ways wearing brown cotton clothing
which blends with the desert land
scape and dust clouds through whicl
they travel in campaigns.
Hunters know that the quail’s ir
stinct directs it to scatter when dan
ger approaches, seeking cover in th(
nearby landscape. * Villa and hi
rebel bands do the same thing whei
a superior federal column approaches
Often Villa’s band will number 2,00(
men under his chiefs, Angeles, Lopez
Diaz and Garcia. They make a col
umn which coils across the plain
like a great snake and leaves a grea
cloud of dust in its wake. But le
General Castro’s government troop!
approach with artillery, machim
guns and cavalry mounted on formei
American army horses and the col
umn will break up into little bands
of 100 under petty chiefs, will disap
pear in some mountain canyons anc
go into hiding until the federals pass
Once the danger* of attack is ovei
the column reassembles, occupie:
pome towrn in its path and again dis
appears with its loot.
Villa’s men have been known tc
hitch theiT horses to plows in tin
fields of the irrigated districts and b<
industriously plowing when the fed
eral scouts appeared. They have
learned various tricks of deceptior
during the years of evading the fed
erals. and even drive a herd of burros
* with them so they may transforn
themselves into wood vendors on oc
easion. During the Pershing expedi
tion it was claimed by Mexicans tha
' Villa himself stood in Namiquipa dis
guised as a peon, with a blanke
wrapped to his eyes and watching the
Pershing column pass through th<
town in pursuit of him. This has
been denied and its source questioned
but Villa has played many equally
daring tricks on his Mexican military
enemies.

THE FLAG WILL BE TRUE TO HIM
He may have naught but his army
clothes,
His bundle, his sears—and his vim;
But he has been true to his country’s
flag,
I And the flag will be true to him.
l Again he will join the homeland folks
' And the^eoldier will be no more;
And some will not know he’d been
called to face
Mad hell with its thundering roar.
►
He may come back to a home and love
^ And a ‘j‘ob” he may call his own;
■ m ..mi
But sometimes a soldier has no kin—
And he walks thru the crowd—alone.
But the hero is sure of the stars and
stripes
Whose proud colors will not grow
dim;
For he has been true to the grand old
flag—
And the flag will be true to him.
