Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 46: March 1911It. Will not be surprising if the end of Diaz' reign is marked by the volleys of the insurrectos. All his life the president of Mexico has been a mili tary leader, and now at eighty years of age he is not afraid of warfare. The first half of his life he knew little else, during the last half he has prevented bloodshed only by his superior armed force. What bandit-infested Mexico has been in the past is represented by crosses reared on the desert, or lone hillsides, which mark the spots where men have been murdered, what she is today may be surmised from the regi ments of soldiers eternally marching through the streets of the capitol. The fact that Mexico empties her jails into the army does not make it any less ef fective. Surly looking fellows these soldiers are, in white cotton uniforms, with their horny brown feet thrust into clumsy sandals.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
