Dr. S. Boyd Calkins, science teacher in the Durango high school, points to the earthy effusions which last week oozed from Carbon...
Eighteen thousand warriors?the greatest single army in recent Mexican history ?were rumbling out of Mexico City in freight cars, led by ex-President General Plutarco Elias Calles, to do battle with the rebels in Durango, Chihuahua and Sonora.
