PAGE TWO WEDNESDAY, JUNE IC, 1923. THE GASTONIA DAILY GAZETTE GIVES VIVID PICTURE OF FLIGHT OF CARRANZA J MEXICO CITY, May -S.- A liav written by AJIo Baroni, an Italian jnur aalist, gives a viviil pii'tun of the flight ' of President Carrama un.i his exjieilitiou f 10,000 jiersons from Mexico Citv in the vain effort to reai-h Vera Cruz in safety. It leals up to the moment when Ike word was passed in the exjwlition to aave yourselves who ran, me Trains were abandoned, t'arranza Wade fcn-nor Rsu-oni good-bye and liegan the march into the hills which ended in his death. . The diarv dim-loses the fact that 'ar- ranza evidently foresaw his end for 8enor Baroni quotes him as saying "fcheu he left the train to take refuge in the hills: "You saw me start my first journey in 191.1 and you will see my last in 1920." Parts of the diary as published by Kl Universal read: "I followed Don Vmiustiano when he left Saltillo in 1913 with :00 men in his heroic move against Huerta. Today I am leaving the capital with him to be, probably, a witness of huj end. i am 'writing, seated on a lag of rice in the presidential supply ear. The disorgan ization which prevails m the station yards is terrible. Nobody ha the power to organize anything. The expedition appears like one to Africa (referring to the enormous amount of baggage). 1 just saw in a cage the lions of Barragn that used to arouse the wonder of the bourgeosie in the l'aseo de la Reforma." At Apizaco he recorded: Word has passed that the last t'hree trains have been lost. It appears that good luck is with Don Venustiano. The word ' trea on ' is on every lip. The citizens are jauitned in the cars like sardines, Our march is like that of a herd of savages. The military trains are tilled with sol diers, who have brought their children, domestic animals, dogs, chickens and par rots. Their women cause the greatest disorder. In the trains are more than 10,000 persons and of these more than 5,000 are women and children who wail, cry, cook, rob and impede progress. , " Jn front of the presidential train is a luxurious Pullman buffet car, a symbol of disorganization and immorality. A number of 'girls' elegantly dressed and a few elegant youths comment and wave from the windows. They appear like .picnickers. "We leave San Marcos at night with the lights out for the enemy menaces the ' rearguard and flanks. -The ill will of the train men has been noticeable since we left Mexico I'ity. Air hose has dis apiteared from some of the trains and without brakes t'hcy threaten to crash into the ones preceding them. Water is becoming waive. There luas been no mil itary discipline since we left the capital. The trooiw are demoralized. The leaders act independently. (.(ieneial) Murguia runs everything. "The first shots break the morning eillness. On horseback, followed by only one aide, Don Venustiano advances at m trot. The first wounded arrive. There are few meilfcal supplies and the 'girls' m . , v . .1-.:.. . ..i : - oi ine reminine i ruin oner men prui roats as bandages. Nobody had time to think of medical dressings but the I ions of Barragan were not forgotten. I "The president returns. He personal ly led forward the cavalry on the right flank when they began to retire. Mur guia has flanked the enemy and defeated him. Under a mewpiite bush a deputy is Toasting a chunk of meat with great skill, i.uis t'abrera is organizing a batallion of civilians. 'All who have no arms step forward!' It resembles a scene from 'The Chocolate Soldier.' A prisoner is questioned. We learn that all Vera Cruz is in the power of the rebels. Camlido Aguikir, almost alone, has fled to Zou golica. "Murguia arrives, amidst cheers. The victorious troops parade. I see an order of the day captured from the enemy. In it Obregon orders that the trains be , stonix'il but that the president, if he ! wills, be allowed to proceed to Vera Cruz, i as with full guarantees and an escort. "The trains proceed slowly. We ar rive at Kincouada. Ten kilometers of I trains, wrapped in silence. There is no j water. A living chain passes it from j hand to hand to replenish the supply of I a dead lorimuit Doi watches.

He does not know men. Callable, he is surrounded by in capable. Honest, lie allow thieves at bis side. "1 am aroused by a terrific squealing, rsoldiers and civilians have sacked the iSoledad ranch of .4X hogs. Soon the cnrs resemble butcher shops. 1 am told we are to continue our journey on foot.

He is placing sentinels around the treasure train. At his feet, in u cage, the lion cubs of Barrugou are gnawing a bloody iypt'. " ... ROMPERS PLEADS FOR SUPPORT OF LEAGUE MONTH KA I., .Mine Mi. " It is piti nblu" that the I'nited States has not ratified the league of nations. Samuel (jumpers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, declared here yesterday in an address before the federation's convention. If the league covenant were submitted to the American people with out anv other entangling questions '' it Would be overwhelmingly accepted, he said. 'It is idtiable that the Cuiteil States has not ratified the league of nations," said Mr. lumpers, "but has forgotten the effort of the nations of the world to prevent another horrible conflict such as that which started six years ago." The labor draft of the league cove nant. he added, would "help in the re union of the working people of the world and would help workers in the most backward eountrie " Mr. (Jompers made a strong appeal to the convention to support the league and "lend a helping hand to the toilers of the smaller countries and aid them to take iheir places among the civilized na tions of the world.
