SIDELIGHTS ON MEXICO “One Who Knows” Says It Would Take About 25,000 Americans to Capture the Chief Places in 60 Days and a Like Number Could Hold the Country. (By a Veteran.) Washington, d. C Twenty-five thou sand Americans could capture Mexico’s chief places in sixty days and alike num ber of United States soldiers could hold that country, in the opinion of an Am erican who has lived twenty-five years near the west coast of our tumultuous neighbor. He is a civil engineer by training, but now a farmer. He writes to a friend as follows: “I am still on the ground, hut ready at a moment’s notice to take to the ‘brush” If I cannot get to my farm on the coast. “When the Mexican authorities were sending a train nrtfth, April 25th, and picking up all foreigners enroute, I, not wishing to leave, having too much to look out for. decided I would remain, so the evening the train was expected 1 I made myself scarce. No. I did not have that cot bed cached in some convenient cave. T slept on the rocks that night. a short time, anyway. Most of the night I spent trying to find tHe softest place, which I finally decided was my own body. The next day my companion and I hiked it five mfles further up into the hills, well loaded with pack, guns, and canteens, no small job. That night we slept beside ft big boulder at the base of a mountain. The next morning we climbed well up the mountain and built a fort. We had water forty minutes away, hut had to go for It only every two days. We were In a spot where no one would think of looking for us and a place where any twenty men would have found It a Job to have taken us alive We had provision for a week and I knew that if the "dance” were on we could safely return before that time. We returned the next day ns I re ceived a "wireless” that the difficulty was up ff+r mediation. May 1, three torpedo boat destroyers slid into the bay and sent word to all Americans to get out. 1 decided to get back to m> old place but my com panion thought be prtfarrad going - ward and my friends and family la-ought such pressure to bear on me that I went to my farm, where I considered myself safe, sm 1 had three other Americans as companions and me were off the main line of regular travel and could get next to the Yankee bluejacket when he cams In a three horn’s hike. May 4 I w-a* hack here and at work.

Governor of Sinaloa The Mexicans are steeped In the old So said Farragut as he ran his ship into Mobile Baj. It is a good motto for the young man who would steer his course to success . Let him keep straight ahead style diplomacy; deceit, In other words. Yon have noticed for (several years, Just aucli articles appearing from time to time. They, fearing Intervention, have tried to hide their own weakness hy conveying to the American mind that in. tervention would be a herculean Job, and that it would take fin army of 1,000,000 men ten years time and millions of dol lars to subject, the Mexican people, not counting the enffirnoua loss of life. Now, our pseudo governor indicates that Intervention will find Mexico pro vided wlllt nearlj 1,000,000 defenders; that the combined armies now muster about 120,0i»o men; that these million men are drilling every day and have been for months; that all are fully arm ed have plenty of ammunition urid most are faifiy good shots: that the two con tending factors will unite: that resident Americans would be butchered If caught In the country; that the coast would lie taken, but that Mexico to a man, woman and child would wage a war In the mountains that would last for years. Now let os look over tliin statement and confront each assertion with farts. Huerta lias made use of every man he can lay hands on, even by force, anil cannot put an army of 10,000 men In the field In any one place. He probably has all told, and mostly conscripts, 45,- 000 men. Tile Constitutionalists really are limit ed to the men they ran arm, arid all told have 45,000 more or less. They have every available arm In their section. In regard to 1,000,000 reserves, that Is a' myth pure and simple. The men exist, hut will they take up arms'' And If they would where will they get them? The atatlstics of the fights among themselves do not speak very highly for general m.irkmaneli p. | know of one general engagement where several hun dred men (over flOO) were engaged for the greater part of three days with ri fles. machine guns and cannon and a gunboat on one siric and the greatest distance ahHrt 1 3-4 miles, and from that lo a few hundred yards. Hess than 100 men were killed and wounded all told on both rides: and not one by the effects of a cannon shot The Kcdcrals were In trenched on hills am, were driven out Now knowing fairly well the condi tions In both countries. 1 am going to tell what will happen If the Mexican peo ple nr their representatives force ort themselves IntrYventton. Within twenty-four hours after the slart every port worth while In Mexico will he blockaded and occupied. Tills i will demoralise 30 per cent of the avail able armed forces of tbe country. In spite of the claims the whole Mexi can nation 'annot tinder the clmim* stances mobilize an army of "0,00 Omen In any one place to oppose tbe foe that will pour Into the country from a dozen different points. Not on account of superior valor (we I will cede that to tho Mexicans but duel THE AUGUSTA HERALU, AUGUSTA. GA,. “DAMN THE TORPEDOES; GO AHEAD’’ ''////// • ck M. K.

THANKS FO* THE SALE Washington.—President Wilson to day received a telegram from the pfin- Hcllsnlc union in America thanking him for Hit sale of the battleships Idaho nnd Mississippi to Greece "We consider the transaction a great art of humanity In preventing the out break of a new war In tin near east," wiute the president of tint union. and he will find that the torpedoes which wreck the drift ers slip harmlessly by the side of his course. THE AMERICAN DUEL The windows of the officers’ cnslno were wide open and the merry laughter of the officers rang Into the (inlet night. The supper wuh over. Home were playing hill lards, others were seated In the soft comfortable arm chairs of the reading room or enjoy ing fragrant Havanas in the smoking rooms. Outside In the garden the military band wch still playing when Count Bamberg started brewing Ills famous Ice ptinchh. Little groups of officers were watching him laughing ami chatting when Huron liana von Galdern thre>v his gaunt bony form Into an empty chair between the captain and tint youngest first lieutenant, Herbert von Berres turned to the* latter and salo rather nonchantly; "Ho you, too, have been asked lo ride for the army?” Herbert Von Berres frowned anti said In an ley tone: "Yes, here too we aru rivals.” The others caught the tone and lis tened. "Oh, I see, you are hinting at my little affair with KTauleln von Wol tersbach, my dear Berres. Yes, there we are, Indeed rivals,” It was easy to see that Baron (ialdern, the famous gentleman Jockey, who had . twice ridden his horse to victory for the army in the presence of the kaiser and wtio three times in succession had received tie gold cup for the Augusta Victoria Steeplechase, from the hands of tho kalserln, did not look upon ttie otti ers as a serious rival on the turf. Count Roinber, who thought things began to look rather seriously, told the orderly to fill the glasses, and said Jokingly: "Ho the little von Wal tersbaeh has stolen your hearts, A (■harming girl and a splendid horse woman. Khe would lie quite an ac quisition for the regiment. May on" of you win her.” lie raised his glass and looked mer rily at ttie two rivals. Von Galdern smiled his coldly superior smile, as he fell sure of tils victory. Berres hesi tatingly touched his glass with his lips. "Why not settle the matter,” rang out tie thin lisping voice of young Prince Hertholdshelm. "bight It out and hi the victor lake the little VVol tersbach.” Herbert von Berres made n quick movement tu spring up. His face turm 1 white anti his hand grasped the hill of Ids sword tint a stern glance from his captain stopped him. He sat up straight and grew calm with marvelous self-control, Count Romberg salt) earnestly: "In rnedlavsl times when two knights fell In love with Hie same lady they fought for the possession of her In open tour nament. Now you two gentlemen aru to fight a toiirnHinent on the turf next Hundiiy. I now propose that you maku that count ss an "American duel, whoever loses shoots himself. In this case let the loser step hack anti con gratulate his luckier rival." Romberg’s words spoken with con ciliating friendliness aroused a storm of bravos. Berres alone said, look ing straight Into the eyes of his cap tain: “And still the matter Is not quite so simple. I’rlnce Hertholdshelm shook with laughter ami said: "Not quite so sim ple. We all know that Berres is mad - ly In love with J,lly von Wolterahaeh That Is certainly not simple. It Is sim ply comical.” ”1 must nsk yon to keep your opin ions to yourself, Hertholdshelm. No body has anything to say In this mat te.- except the two gentlemen Inter ested." Galdern had arisen at Romberg's words. With a sarcastic smile he Mid, turnlngg to Berres: "And Bern;*, what do you say?" Benes was trembling all over, he was trying to steady himself leaning on hts sword. "Accept,”' someone whispered Into Ills ear. He turned tils head and looked Into the open manly face of the only one present whom he concltlered .4 real friend. "Ho not tic afraid.” Berres hesitated a monment. Then tie straightened himself up, clapped Ills heels together, bowed hts hen 1 •lightly lo Galdern and said, "I ac cept.” As soon as possible afterwards, he left the club, his friend, ilillern, fol lowed him. “I think It frivolous to treat, an af fair of the heart In such a manner Why did you persuade me to accept?” "Because It was the only way. Had you declined, the others would have thought you a coward ami (Jaldern, who thinks himself Invincible where women are concerned, would have put another feather In Ids cap. Now you have a chance perhaps of lto 100, but why shouldn’t you win ttie race, I am sure everybody wishes you luck." "I do not like this idea of buying happiness. I think that Frauleln von Waltersbach’s heart and not chance ought to settle this affair.” Hlllern stopped and looked silently Into his young friend's excited face; "Why take this so seriously. The lit tle countess Is a dear, sweet but quite childlike young thing, who so far has absolutely no Idea of what love means, if she loves anything it Is horseback riding and whoever wins her admira tion on the turf will win her heart If he he young and handsome. Kvery young girl must be taught what love means and here I think you have fur better chances than von Galdern. Now ride your very best." The two friends shook hands and parted. Herbert von Berres had come In from morning drill. It was eight o'clock. The morning papers were lying on the table in front of him. In thhe sporting columns he looked up the last performances of "Burgundy, ’ the horse he was to ride. It was con sidered a very good runnor and had won several flat races, but had never scored In a steeplechase. Time and time again It had refused to take the hurdles. Galdern was to ride Blue Boy, that won every steeplechase in which It had been entered. He did not understand now, how he could have been foolish enough to leave his fate to chance. The race course was crowded, pad docks and grandstands were full it people. The kaiser and his court had not yet arrived. Now the imperial colors were run up and the imperial cortege drove In. Von Galdern in full dress uniform was standing next to Countess Woltersbach. "It will he a race between Burgun dy and Blue Boy,’" he said. "That Is, between you and ■ ——" she looked In her program, "and HefJ von Berres. That will be exciting,'’ "Do you wish me victory,” he asket "Frankly speaking—no. It would be something of a sensation to see you defeated." Kite turned away from him and walked quickly toward von Berres, whom she had just caught sight of. "1 wish you every success on Bur gundy," she said unnecessarily loud. Berres looked Into her eyes and kissed her hantl. Perhaps Hillern was wrong after all, he felt sure that Jpst now It was her heart that har spoken. His trainer came up with Bur gundy. "Beautiful horse, countess," he said, "strong in limbs and wind. Just the proper build for a steeplechaser too. The lieutenant will get the best out of him too. You remember how he rode "Pennigod," a rank outsider to victory in Urunewald? Burgundy too is a shifty creature, but he has got it In him. It all depends on who Is up. Now, lieutenant, keep away from the bunch no crowding, stay by your self unless you want to take the lead. II does not matter if you lose a length or two temporarily. Rather that than get tangled up with the bunch. It is the one thing Burgundy won’t stand for.” The horses were led past the kaiser. "There is Galdern —on Blue Boy— there is Blue Boy!” It was evident that Blue Boy wa» the favorite will) Galdern up. With out moving a muscle in his handsom* face, and looking straight ahead, Gal dern cleared the trial hurdle, and cantered to the starting line. Countes* Woltersbach followed the men through her field glasses and In her excite ment a mild oath escaped her lips when she saw Burgundy stop a second before the trial hurdle. Hhe grew quite feverish In her ex citement She felt as If she herself Wits In the saddle on Burgundy. With all her energy concentrated In he" eyes she followed the horses every movement. Twice Burgundy Jumped willingly. Now came the solid a horse In front of It stumbled and ft 11, lint like a bird Burgundy flew high above the prostrate animal anti Its rider. Had Berres a chance yet? 11c was riding splendidly, but Blue Boy was lengths ahead, the bunch Im mediately behind It. She trembled wltti excitement and remembered the trainer's words. Berres was six lengtlts behind now, riding all by him self In the turn—now she shot for ward with the swiftness of an arrow. A moment, later and he caught up with Blue Boy, The countess dared hardly breathe. Would he defeat Galdern? Would he show him that he knew how to ride? She almost prayed for hts victory. But Galdern was wide uwake and evidently knew hts rival's' horse"s weakness. He tried to crowd It out. The countess stamped tier foot. But the trick fulled, Berres rode like a devil, and Burgundy went like a streak of light ning clearing the broad water Jump as If It had wings, Coming down It slipped, a cry of terror arose from the grandstand, but Berres lifted It up, the powerful stallion was on hts feet again and raced on. This was horsemanship! The countess felt her heart heating madly as a mighty ovation shook the air. Burgundy swept the turf. It wa» five lengths ahead as It reached the taut hurdle. But where was Galdern? Had he lost Interest In the race now that Berres had become the hero of the day? The countess looked for Blue Bov. There It was. tinder a hailstorm of blows It regained three of the lost lengths, hut then It. began to loss speed. Burgundy too was running slower. It’s heaving flanks showed that Its tsrength was nearly spent. The tape Is only twenty meters away. “Why doesn't’ he use his whip?” groaned the countess. But Berre* never raised tils arm It was as if he were forgetting everything and with Galdern hailing blows on Its shoulders, anil flanks, Blue Hoy was once more gaining. One length and then another. Hide by side, the two splendid beasts were racing neck and neck. "Blue Boy wins!” shouted the erowd. “Hurrah for Blue Boy!” fount ess von Waltersbach was turning pale. Why did Berres fall tier now? He did nothing at all while Galdern was using his whip madly to spur ort his horse and the tape was only a length and a half away. Then Hurgunily of her own free will made a mighty effort and stiot forward and won the race by nearly a head. A mighty roar went up. Galdern had disappointed the erowd. Galdern had ridden badly. Another man had shown them what good horsemanship meant And what a horse that Burgundy! Countess Woltersbach's eyes were full of tears. "1 never have seen anyone ride a* you have Just done,” she said, to Berres, "hut why did you give m* such a fright towards the end?” Berres hesitated. The prize that I was riding for," he said at Inst, “was so great that I did not want to win It hy brutal force. With my horsemanship alone I must win—or must he deflated." Lily von Woltersbarh was scared at the earnestness In hts voice. His words evoked a sensation within he.' heart that she had never felt before and made It tremble. Instinctively she knew that she loved Berres nnd a new light came Into her eyes. Berres kissed her hand long and passionately (luldern, who was passing hy, saw !t. He smiled amuiedly. After all, he had never aerlouily cared for the little Woltershach But that Berrok had publlrly defeated him on the tiff was gall and wormwood to him. STEAMER In TROUBLE.
