Herbert Lampron, a Manchester 
boy, who is serving in the United 
States navy, is aboard the Nebraska, 
stationed at Vera Cruz, Mexico. He 
writes of conditions in that part of 
Mexico from which little is heard in 
these days of border excitement. 
“Editor North Shore Breeze: 
“Received your paper on Sept. 16. 
Was more than glad to hear the news 
from home and was some surprised 
to liear that some of the boys at home 
are doing duty along the border.. This - 
* ship left Boston, January im. fora 
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, stayed there 
three’ months, -had drills and target 
practice and left in April, arriving in 
Boston Navy Yard where we were 
given five days leave. On May 22 
we left for Vera Cruz and arrived 
here June 1. We were here only two 
weeks when trouble broke out. I was 
an engineer of a steamer making trips 
over to the landing for refugees. 
When we came alongside of the docks 
they would flock around us. We 
thought many times we would be shot. 
In about three weeks we had am 
refugees abroad. 
“Some came from Mexico City in 
box cars, etc. Mexico City is only 90 
miles from Vera Cruz, but Villa and 
his band tore up the roads, wrecked 
and held up trains. The Americans 
were about starved in Mexico City 
for most all of the stores were closed 
and could not get bread. Those that 
were late would wait all day and then 
maybe not get any. 
“What makes things bad here is 
that the Americans know how to go 
about and make tmoney, while the 
natives are lazy and will not work. 
“An American may have a cattle 
ranch and the natives come right in 
and kill the cattle, just taking the hide. 
and leaving the carcass. That starts 
trouble. 
“The money is no good, - When I. 
first came down here the Mexican 
-money was $40 in paper to one dollar 
in gold of U. S. Money. Now it is 
$250 paper to $1 of gold. Vera Cruz 
money, old, was $10 for $1 of gold 
and now it is $25 for $1 of gold. 
“During the trouble we transferred 
all the refugees to the Transport 
‘Sumner,’ which took them to Galves- 
ton, Texas. Some of the people had 
to leave all their belongings and cat- 
tle here.. We had to keep up steam 
all night; in case war was declared 
we could leave the ship at a minute’s 
notice to get the American Consul. 
We had guards up all night watching
