Vera Cruz Life Dull Plazas Attract Few Social Signals
Special Washington Post correspondent Richard Harding Davis reports Vera Cruz during early 1914 war waiting. The portales near the main plaza host cafes and tables where officers and wives mingle, but there are no senoritas or grand processions. The army arrives on war footing, yet daily life remains repetitive with familiar faces and routines, while proclamations and riots once sparked here have faded under martial law and military governance.
