C. W. FAIRBANKS

Former Vice President Praises Prudence of Mexican Soldiers.

RETURN OF FAIRBANKS

Reaches Indianapolis after Long Western Trip for Health. Talks of War Aspects in Juarez and Japanese War Rumors in California. Indianapolis, March 24. Former Vice President Fairbanks reached home from a long western trip, taken for the benefit of his health. “With an El Paso friend,” he said, “I went into Juarez. In the middle of the town I saw many soldiers on the roofs of buildings. Around the edge of the roofs were sand bags piled high for breastworks for the soldiers. On some of the buildings the side walls were built several feet above the roof and portholes had been made in the walls so that the soldiers on the roof could shoot through them. It was rather novel to see the Mexican soldiers take up their positions in the middle of town. In our country the soldiers would be at the outskirts to keep the enemy from entering The Mexican troops were certainly In a safe position and free from danger of getting hurt.” Mr. Fairbanks smiled when asked about the feeling along the Pacific coast on the Japanese situation. “There Is no foundation for the rumors which have been set afloat,” he said. “The people on the coast undestand this to be true, and they are too sensible to be frightened by a scarecrow. They do not pay any attention to the rumors.”
