HOW TO REACH
MEXICO CITY
is Question Which General Fun
ston May Soon Have To
Solve.
United Press Service
Vera Cruz, May 11 -How toyet
to Mexico City is the question
which General Fred Funston
may have to solve. He must get
there in the quickest way and
with as little bloodshed as pos
sible in order not to arouse the
Mexicans to slaughter Ameri
cans who may remain in the
country. Should Funston be or
dered to advance on Mexico City
it is a historic and romantic trail
that his troops must follow.
The Mexican capital lies 7,
E00 feet above sea level and is
240 miles from Vera Cruz. The
army at one point will reach an
altitude of 11,000 feet. From
• he tropic u' of Vera Cruz
Hie soldy_^ within a few days
will reach a climate of autumn
days and November nights. They
must pass under the shadow of
the hugh, dead, old volcano of
Orizaba with its snow covered
t op.
It, wili not be the first time—
that, is, if Funston finds it im
possible to proceed on steam
trains— that an army has clank
ed its way through the great
Mexican ravines. Once in the
sixteenth century, these same
passes rang with the rattle of
the armor of Cortez’ Spaniards.
There was only a handful of
them, and they had heard only
as a vague Indian legend that a
great and rich city was ahead of
them, beyond the mountains- A
few years later Cortez lied by
these same passes and even to
day the Mexicans hate a Span
iard more than any' other for
eigner.
Along the trail of the narrow
gauge railroad which Funston
may use if engines can be ob
tained, General Winfield Scott,
in 1847, led his army to Mexico
City. It took him many weeks
to reach the great capital. His
only task was to reach and take
the city, progressing slowly, and
with caution. Funston’s task
may be far different, because, if
possible he must advance swift
ly and as peacefully as he can
to save the lives of Americans
who may still be in interior cit
ies.
Later, in 18(52, a French army,
whose duty it was to place Max
imillian on an emperor’s throne
in Mexico City, passed through
these same mountains and by
I he same pathway departed leav
ing Maximillian to be executed
by the hand of General Aurela- j
mano Blanquet, wno many is
Huerta’s secretary of war.
As the army approaches Mexi
co City, the atmosphere will be
come more and more rare be
cause of the altitude. Mountain
fever which is ony a passing ans
nausea, will affect some of the
soldiers, but within a short time
will pass away.
Whichever way they reach the
city—by the narrow gauge, the
broad gauge or by foot marches
they will see as they near their
destination the peaks of the two
giant, snow-covered mountains,
standing side by. side, sentinels
through tht> ages of the weird,
beautiful, mountain-hemmed
Mexico City. One of the moun
tains is known in the Indian lan
guage as the “white sleeping
woman ” There high in the sky
the American soldiers will see
l he vast form of a prostrate
woman, lying face upt urned, her
hair streaming down the sides
of the mountain in square miles
of snow. Nearby they will see
the snow-covered, pointed peak
of the dead volcano of Popocat
epetl, which schoolboys for
many generations have been
spanked for not remembering or
will find after they reach the
»
capital that their teacher did
not pronounce it correctly either.
At their feet, lying in a vast
basin, rimmed by mountains,
they will see the beautiful valley
of Mexico. In the center of the
valley, the white stone city with
its cathedral domes, its miles of
boulevards and mansions and its
acres of parks where violets of
spring, roses, of June and gol
denrod of autumn bloom every
day of the year and where the
half million persons who live
there content themselves in the
most, wonderful climate in the
world.
Then into the city. There are
some real soldiers, too, in the
Indian capital; generals who
have fought Indian battles al
most every year of their car
eers. Already the American
troops have had a taste of the
Mexican strategy. For days be
fore the Americans landed at
Vera' Cruz the Mexican govern
ment had been withdrawing as
many railroad engines as it
could obtain. When the Ameri
cans finally put foot on shore,
they found only two very an
cient yard engines, one on the
narrow gauge and the other on
the broad gauge road. There are
cars enough of both gauges to
transport 5,000 soldiers to Mex
ico City

Funston is most likely to pro
ceed to the capital—if he should
he ordered—as on the broad
gauge, which is one of the most
daring pieces of railroading in
the world, there are several steel
bridges which the Mexicans cer
tainly would destroy with dy
namite. On the narrow gauge
road there are only a few cul
verts which might be easily re
paired and no tunnels which the
Mexicans might dynamite.
Suffragettes Parade Under Flow

one of the most beautiful and
impressivle scenes attending any
suffrage celebration in the city.
The artist’s section formed one
of the striking ftatures. Some
weeks ago every woman artist
in the country was invited to
march and from today’s indica

was arraigned before Esquire
Barnett’s court on a charge of
damaging the culverts on the
Smithville public road by run
ning his traction engine over
them without complying with
the law. A jury was demanded
and granted. E. H. Tharp of
Walnut Ridge represented the
state and T. W. Campbell of Po

1 he evidence for both sides was
given in, the attorneys argued
the case; the jury returned a
verdict of acquittal.—Imboden

BATTLE AXE.
My notes last week, as you perhaps
observed, were conspicuous by their
absence. Got busy with other things
and lost a day. liope, though, the
Independent and its readers will sur
vive the loss.
Have never referred to the effort
being made by some correspondents
to have correspondents meet and get
acquainted. This would be, no doubt,
pleasant, and promote a new spirit
of interest, but I fear Scribbler would
hardly have time to participate. Trust
the meeting will materialize and be
enjoyed by all who can attend.
Farmers generally wearing broad
.smiles over crop conditions. Unusu
ally good stands of corn and cultiva
tion beginning nicely. While many
are done planting cotton, and most
| others well in towards finishing. Sea
jsons and land conditions favorable for
1 germination, and good stands already
up in all early planting. Of course,
too much rain now can easily check
cultivation and put them “in the
grass,” but hope for better things.
River on the point of overflow all
latter part of last week, having stop
ped rising close to danger line about
Saturday. Early Monday morning
came heavy rain, causing another rise
of several inches and covering practi
cally all the bottom lands. This has
driven cattle out, and they are now
wandering about the lanes and high
points bordering on the overflow. In
dications now are that rain is over
and that there will be no further rise.
Trust it may prove so.
Health Officer Dr. Watson of New
port and Dr. Slayden of Tuckernian

J. W. Bowden and family down from
Possum Trot Tuesday, visiting friends
and waiting for grgound to become
dry enough to plow. Jim says he
has some me timothy and clover, now
slightly under water, but hopes water
will subside before damaging it ma
terially.
G. A. Pilquist is putting a fresh
eoat of paint on J. W. Lindley’s resi
dence.
Farmers, the next time it rains so
you can’t plow, don’t go to the near
est store or town to loaf. Get your
saw, hammer and nails and do that
little job of repairing your wife has
been asking you to do; and then look
around a little and you will find sev
eral other small jobs well worth do
ing, and which wil make your home
life more pleasant.

Koenig, the teacher, from Jackson
port, was highly complimented for
her cleverness in the way she had
trained the little ones to act and
speak. The Island string hand was
programed for a few national airs
and the little entertainment was ap

The meeting of the correspondents
is now on foot. Never stop until an
organization has been perfected. I am
sure others will he anxious to come to
the meeting. I am with you, L. E.
