Searching Mexicans In Vera Cruz For Dangerous Weapons
The American forces In Vera Cruz, after the capture of the city, confiscated over 6,000 guns, knives and other
wenpons from citizens. Even children and women were forced to surrender firearms. The whole city seemed to
have been thoroughly armed. A house to hquse search was made, and often suspects were held up In the street,
as was the case when the war photographer snapped this scene. The guards frisked through the suspects wltU
little ceremony, and no doubt the lives of many Americans were saved by this vigorous method of disarming. .
