tire company of infantry was sent to
patrol the bank between the two
bridges which form the main arteries
of traffic to Juarez
Scores OF Mexican soldiers came to
the opposite river bank to look across
at the United States troops. 1t was a

mained on it's own soil.

insurrecto territory today said that
Capt. Oscar G.. Creighton, the American

still encamped in the hills a few miles
south of Juarez. Creighton's band,
which is composed in large part of
Americans, is suffering severe hardship,
according to this man. The men. he
declared, have often gone several days
without food, and only the chance
coming upon steer has saved them
from actual starvation.

Apostolic Delegate at Washington
For many years the sixteen millions
of Americans who worship in the Ro-
man Catholic Church have felt that
their worth was not properly appre-
ciated by the appointing power Of
Rom and it has seemed to them that
the failure OF His Holiness, the Pope,
to appoint more cardinals from Amer
lea showed a desire to overlook the
services and the faithfuness MS well
as the number Of catholics in America
Even Mr.. Roosevelt adventured him
self into This troublors sea. and
Bcllamy Storer was eugufed in the
whirlpool Of Italo-American &C.
cIesiastical politics. But it is no,
TO be supposed that even MI Roose-
welt could successfully deal with so
mysterious n force as that which final
ly decides the appointment of cardi-
mails.
1t has been remarked that the great
West has not been singled out by
the Pope for the honor OF the Cardi-
naate. But the appointment OF Arch
