NEWS FROM BORDER CAMP A Weekly Letter, Prepared Especially For Our Readers, From the South Carolina Guardsmen Encamped at Fort Bliss, Texas. - In Camp with the South Carolina Brigade, in the El Paso Patrol District. "I Just discovered the trouble with the Mexicans and can understand why they 'revolute' so much and so unani mously," remarked a South Carolinian during one of the daily discussions of the troubles of our neighbor. "Well, for goodness sake, toll us," chorused the ones who' were talking with him when he made the startling declara tion. "It's because they eat so much popper," said the Columbus of the camp, and while every one laughed 'at iim, subsequent observations have shown that his opinion is at least worth considering. If you should happen to cross the international bridge, about the only impressive part of wiich structure is its imposing name, and get by the American soldiers and custom officials and run the gauntlet. of the Mexican braves and customs collector on the other end, get. in Juarez and visit their marketing place you would be strongly inclined to come to the same conclusion as that of the South Caro linian, that the trouble with Mexico is too much pepper. Pepper is the only thing which abounds in greater amount in Mexico than flies. Just stroll through the market and when you look over the apples, fruits, watermelons, sand wiches and other things which they have for sale you will be impressed first by the swarms of flies which cov er everything and everybody and next you will remark to your companion you have never seen so much pepper. Everybody has It for sale and no stand is complete without it. It is the only thing which must be universally de manded on every Mexican table and at every Mexican meal. Naturally with so much pepper in their system the Mexicans are a fight ing people. They prefer to fight for eigners but when they are not handy they fight one another. They must fight and they have fought so much that their finest young men have been killed and, to judge from what one sees in Juarez, they have only the old men and boys left but still they fight. It is presumed that when the old men and boys have been wiped out the fighting will pass to the women but as lon1g as tley' stick to pepper they will fight and there is no Indication that pepper is waning as a popular part of every meal. It takes 0one who sees beyond the surface and can look beneath the darkened skin ot the Mexicans to rea son out their fighting proclivi'ties and to lay it on the pepper,. for certainly surface indications are all against tis proposition. This was impressed on me during a trip I madle into Juarez the other (lay. To get into Mexico you have to cross the international bridge across the Rio Grande, thle bridge patrolled on the American end by soldiers of Uncle Sam and on the Mexican side by soldiers of that nattion. No soldiers are, of course, allowed across 'the line and only citizens in citizens' attire can get across the b~ridge. In a pproacihin g the inlternla tional bridge from the American side you are first examined by an Ameri can soldier, a member of tihe de tachment which is kept constantly on guard here. The bridge is patrolled about one-third of the distance from the American side b~y American sol diers and two-thirds across on the Mexican side a Mexican soldier paces up and down, day andl night. After the AMnerican soldier finishes is examina tion you undergo inspection by an American customs official to make certain 'that you are not smuggling anything acr-oss and carrying in some thing that you have no businless to carry. Af-ter running the gauntlet of the Americans you get -to the Mexican end where tihe soilier gives you the "once over" and then you undergo ex amination by the Mexican cus-toms of ficials. The first personifleation of au thority, however, is the Mexican sol dier and there you get'first hand Idea of the fighting arm of the de facto gov ernment. was not impressive in appearance. This particular r'epresentative of the military department of Mexico He was young in years but his clothes Speculation as to how long 'they are to be on the border has been started among the Palmetto boys by reason of seeing thle long train loads of New Jersey soldiers passing through on route home, The New Jersey boys were stationed in the Douglas (Aff. zona) district and some of 'thoem were sent back after being down a shorter time even than the boys from South Carolina, The New Jer eyltes were in jovial mood as they passed through 101 Paso homeward bound and they shouted, tooted their ipiugles arnd tos. ed hrdtak to 4ka ptetu.r., r uniform hung loosely about himA He, like all the Mexican fighters, car ris his cartridges In a belt slung around his shoulders jumt as one wouqd carry a kodak, and his W'ire was ii a position of half way "order at'ms." His whole appearance was -lifeless and hopeless and he looked as if his last square meal was severu6 months ago. lie was typical of the soldiers of our neighbor seen on the streets of Juarez ror there is every evidence that they ire half feed and nalf clothed. They also appear to be either old men or young boys and it is evident that the- revolutions which have swept that Lroubled country for the past , five years have carried away the flower of Lhe nation. Passing the sentry the customs offi 31als gave our party only a cursory examination and then passed us on ward with a wave~ of his hand and i6me greeting in Spanish. In crossing the river we saw scores :f Mexican men, women and children In bathing and some on the river bank disrobing. A great many had finished that job and stood looking around se rencly indifferent that they were cloth' [3d only in. nature's garb and standing In the broad light of day. Some of them had "September Morn" outclass 'd. However, as my companion was a married man we did not tarry here but Imioved on the centre of the town. 'The0 street was filled with mud but the sidewalks were paved., The build ings are for the most part one story mud brick structures, the typical Mex ican material. Several times we pass ed Mexican soldiers in twos and threes and' while'they glanced at us closely no0 01n1e acCosted any of the party. We came to- the plazaj and benches filled wtli men, women iand children, and others strolling through the paths. Only two woll dressed people were son and these were Mexican girls. They both were as smart and neat in appearance as any young American lady who keeps up with tho latest fashions. The others were sitting tirounud anl Idling. Nobody seemed to be working. Close by the plaza is the market place and this is well worth a visit. In general the market resembles that of Market street in C(harleston or the one which formerly stood on Assembly street in Columbia. The various, stands -only there were very few stands, most of those having anything to sell .lust piling it in a corner on the floor were filled with apples, and the other products grown in this country, and pepper. Fwerybody sold pepper and no wonder the Mexicans are a vola tile people. If they eat as much pop) per as evidently is the case from the groat amount everybody has to sell they must he continually hot under the collar and sparring for a fight. Father, mother, big brother and big sister and all the little folk were out to wait on prospective customers. As these were scarce the family sat around on the floor and Idled away the time, dozing to the music made by the swarms of flies which' feasted on the products of the markets while the customers were absent. On out- return we passed the garri. son where the Carranza soldiers are quartered when not on duty. The buildings look like a big prison with all t-he (loor-s and windows closedi and one lanky ydung man with a gun long or than he was tall and a belt full of cartr-idges strung around his shoul der-s was p~acin'g back and for-th in front of the prison like structure.' I was told that the Mexican soldiers when off duty are deprived of their gun and cartridges and locked up -for if they are let loose they are likely to dlecamp. When it comes time for thein to go on gutard( they are given their guns and ammunition and sent out in (-lharge of a sergeant or corporal to their post of duty. The homes of the Mexicans are for the most part in keeping with the squalor like appearance of the town, On1ce in a while you come across a dlwelling of the better sort and you will see vines climbing over the front entrance and flowvers blooming in the yard. From several of the houses we heard .the soundl of music and passed two or three Mexican string bands, They are a musical people and while away many an hour picking their mu sical instruments. The whole appearance of Juarez is that of a ,place where business is dead and tihe people are having a hard time getting enough to eat. Nobody was at work and the people, while out in large numbers, were sttandling or sit ting around looking as if they were waitin gfor something to happen. There are a great many beggars on the streets and about the market and plaza and they never tail to ask for something. One time it will be a lit tLe girl and the next ,time an old woman with a shawl covering her head. They are very Persistent and aften become very ugly If not given something. Such is Juarez in appearance, and ill kept, the people looking hopeless, helpless and ambitionleau and kept in fighting mood by the large amount of riepper which serves as a stimulatt In the absence of nutritous food. There has been a small homeward movement of troops all along the bor der and at the same Ume anore troop. have been reaching the border from state mobilisation camps, Most of those now coming in are encamping in the E~l Paso district. The latest ar rivals are from Ohio and Kentuecy and thoite from North Carolina, Geor gia and Florida are expected. Troop. from Illinois, Indiana, Minnesiota, Kan sas aid other states stationed in the Brownsville and San Antonio districts have been ordered home. None in the E~l Paso district have yet been sent AWARD OF #O f$IN S Winthrop College f4wlntment. Af Announced by 8tatp 'Board.-FOI lows Investigation.
