'HE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY. JUNE 6. 19J4. 1 TOWEL SERVES DOUBLE USE Pathe Photographer Miller Tells of Use of Rag at Vera Cruz. ;ed as a flag of truce W hp.it Sot SPrrlns In That Cnpaclty Around KitRlttP on the .Mrxlcnn Itnllroad. How a Turkish bath towel Is used al ternately as a flag of trtlco and a wip ing rag on a locomotlvo engine at Vera Cruz Is one of the many funny tales be ing told In Omaha by Victor Miller, Vjnovle" operator for Patha's weekly, J-vho has Just returned from Mexico, ar.d took motion pictures of the public school children's play day exercises at Fort Omaha. "Tied to an old bamboo cane, the bath towel Is used as a flag of truce by an American soldier on tho fender of the locomotive which hauls the train from the Mexican trenches Into Vera Crux," Miller says. "Frequently the towel also docs service as a wiping rag about the engine. "Huerta'-s policy has been to excite the Mexican fieoije against tho 'grtnKoea'," Miller continues. "But they now see through his schemes and arc deserting mini, so his days are surely numbered. "Vera Cruz Is Just like an American city now, with our troops In control of everything, and doing a good Job of It, too. The city Is as safe as Omaha to iay. whereas It was a dangerous holo for everybody a short time ago, before tho United States took charge." Miller spent a month In tho city, mak ing firms of Pathe's weekly. With the help of army officers, he staged a re production of the capture of the customs house, which reel has already become fa mous throughout tho United States. Prior to his work In Mexico he accom panied White Sox and Giant ball teams around the world.
