Ont Best Service 890 260 195 IO 160 Old fashioned etrtnoiogiata used to say that the word "ogre" com- memorated the sufferings of Europe during the ninth and tenth centuries at the hands of the ranging "0igoum," or Hume. This deriva- tion, however, is now abandoned. "Ogre," which reached the French language by way of Italian and Spanish, is really Orcus, the Latin hell, afterward the god ot the under. world. In Romanesque folklore this god became a shaggy, black, man devouring monster. with a particular taste for lost babes in the wood. This extraordinary system accounts for the immobility ot the Federal troops. Compared with the rebels they are leader: footed. They cling to the railways and to the box can, in which they live with some comfort. T.“ shaman army has no army service corps, no medical department to speak of. It carries no camp equipment, no supplies. Watch a field force break camp at dawn. First there go battering " a horde ot wo- men laden with pots and pans, blan- kets, sometimes babies. These are the soldaderas, the camp followers. the commissariat of the force. That they move as quickly as they do is a miracle. Whatever the day's march mar be they are always on the camp- ing ground before the' men arrive. They rig up shelters. they cook tortil- las and frljoies (maize cakes and beans), they make ttttttee. You see them mending their'husbands' coats. washing their shirts, roughly tending flesh wounds. Without these solda- deras the army could not move. While President Huert". was seizing hun- dreds of men by night in Mexico City and other cities in order to swell his forces to a hundred thousand he also had women "pressed" to go with the new soldiers and take care of them. Criadas (maid servants) were posi- tively afraid to be out after dark. Mexican generals have unfortun- ately very little talent for war, and they make, as a rule, no attempt to "lick their men into shape." Omeera in command are incredibly slack. At a small battle in the State of More- los the Federals by use~of machine guns forced the rebels to retire. The nature ot the country made it easy for their retreat to be cut off. But the Federal colonel looked at his watch, "It is time for dinner," he said, and told his bugler to sound the “Cease fire." The rebels leisurely went away. That kind of incident, which hap- pens daily, helps to keep current the belief that Federal offieerg do not wish to bring the war to an end. They do not tthe 'eo1dieritttrpsrioutsly. After the evacuation of Torreon by the Federals Gen. Munguia was tried my a court of inquiry. The intention was to shoot him. This was his de- fence: "How could I meet the rebels in the open?” he asked; "they tight in loose formation. I was obliged to keep my troops together. It I did not they would melt away. Desertion is the idea uppermost in almost every soldier’s mind. Again, how could I order my oifieerg to lead their men to the attack? I knew their men would shoot them down as soon as they got the chance." . Ton-eon, the town recently captur- ed by Villa, was taken by the rebels once betore. in September last. After denying for a week that it had fallen the war tttties admitted the truth, but said that it would'be retaken in a few days. For a month or so nothing happened. Then it was announced that " blow would be struck." Gen. Velasco would start at once and the rebels would be driven out ot Tor- reon. The Government had been urg- ed to act vigorously because in the cotton district a record crop was in need of being picked. They respond- ed by putting a new tax upon cotton "to meet the cost ot the war-like op erations," and by doing-nothing.' The forces which were to route Torreon advanced and retreeted, chauued and let to partners, merch- ed this way and marched that. Gen. Velasco was frequently reported to he not with his command, but in Sal- tillo. Not until Dee. 10 was Torreon retaken, and then only because the rebels had drawn " and left the gar- rison very weak. The troops are “customed to live In trains. Their when no “ken slang, too, to act " ttrrrtr service corps. They would never be in any hurry to start.
