Joubert offers the story of his experiences with a Junker-born neighbor in southern Mexico. The man was a university graduate of the military caste. His code of ethics, and his absolute disregard of the rights of his neighbors, so nearly coincide with the spirit which caused the European calamities of the last three years, that the experience reads almost as a parable. Each 10 cents; $5.00 per hundred.
