MEXICAN REBEL
LEADERS ARE
MUCH UNALLKE
JUAREZ, Mex., June 25 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The physical law that
opposites attract each other seems to
apply to Francisco Villa and Felipe
AngeleB, the two learding Mexican
rebel commanders. Villa rough, im
pulsive and given to flashes of red
temper is as devoted to Angeles the
suave, well bred and highly educated
as if they were blood brothers. When
Angeles left New York last November
to join Villa, many of his friends on
the border wondered at his folly in
leaving a comfortable hotel to take the
field with the most rough-and-ready
character in Mexico. The two leaders
are as unlike as the poles and yet each
is the complement of the other and
the result of their union under a rebel
flag was almost instantly apparent
when Villa ceased killing prisoners
and civilians, treated Americans cap
tured by his forces with more consid
eration and refrained from destroying
property wantonly.
General Angeles was graduated
from the Chapultepec military acad
]»mv of Mexico as an artillery officer
studied at-St. Cyr in France under
ter artillerists. He was an ob
er at many European maneuvers
wrote many pamphlets on artil
fire. He joined the Madero revo
>n and, later the Constitutionalist
ement under Carranza. When Villa
ce with Carranza the prospect of
on with Villa lured Angeles to
side and together they conducted
aggressive campaign in the north
ch had such a disastrous ending
the battle of Celaya. After this
eles deserted Villa, brought a
y in the El Paso valley and an
nced his intention of retiring from
;ican military and political affairs.
3n the European war broke out he
t to New York as an inspector of
Is for the French government and
J quit this to rejoin Villa in Mexico.
. Even in the field Angeles shaves
daily, wears clean linen and carries a
tailet kit on an extra pack mule. Villa
prefers a flannel shirt and a soft collar
to starched linen, shaves at rare in
tervals when in the field and wears
“hand-me-down” suits and square toed
shoes. •
To an American prisoner in Villa’s
camp General Angeles confided that
Villa had almost ruined his chances of
ever regaining the good will of Ameri
cans by his treatment of native and
foreign prisoners and that he, Angeles,
has persauded Villa that to observe
the rules of civilized warfare was to
make friends for him and for his
cause in the United States. The only
time Villa has lapsed from this pro
gram was at Parral where he executed
six Chinese because he found them
armed and the three Herreras, against
whom he had a grudge of long stand
ing.
To another American prisoner Villa
extended a blanket invitation to any
Americans who wished to visit him In
his rebel camps in the field. To date
no one has accepted this invitation.
LONGEST SUBMARINE
TELEPHONE CABLE TO
BE LAID IN DECEMBER
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, June 25 (by
Associated Press).—Direct telephone
service between Key West and Ha
vana will be a reality by December,
according to Colonel Sosthenes Behn,
who announces that the submarine
telephone cable connecting the main
land and Cuba which was planned be
fore the war will be laid within the
next few months.
At present the most important
American and English engineers are
working on the scheme, according to
Colonel Behn and the laying of the
cable will be commenced this summer.
The submarine telephone from Cuba
to Key West, according to Colonel
Behn, is but the first legt of a cable
telephone system which in time will
connect all of Greater Antilles.
“The development of the telephone
(luring the war has made it possible
for us to plan now for a submarine
telephone cable system which three
years ago was not dreamed of,” said
Colonel Behn. “The first leg of the
system from Key West to Havana in
itself will be the longest submarine
telephone in the world. At present the
submarine telephone across the Eng
lish Channel is the longest.”
Mr. Behn was president of the
Cuban Telephone Company when the
Unitedjjgtates entered the war. He vol
unteered and was commissioned a cap
tain in the army signal corps. He is
connected with banking interests in
Cuba.
