 The Red advance was commanded by Captain Seeley Of Tucson and con sisted of two companies of infantry. AS soon as they were within firing dis tance of the canal bank they deploved promptly and Were well conducted to- ward the Arizona canal This forced Grinstcad to withdraw his company through the underbrush which was done in good order. Donkersley then made the north side of the canal bank and prepared to attack the main posi- ton. Hastily looking over the field he decided upon rapidly dispatching two companies of infantry one thousand wards to the east for a flank attack. His machine gun detachment to the right of the line to concentrate the fire upon the commanding point in the Blue line with an idea of locating the hoWitZer and then to silence it. Two companies Were disposed for d frontal attack. one company was sent up dry wash under cover of the heavy brush and one company was held in reserve 800 wards in rear of the line. The Red force located the howItzcr and put 1t out of business by concentrated fire and then advanced to ward the posi- tion of the Blues This left it a mat ter of hard fighting only and the man ouver was called off and the fight called a draw.

Major Donkersley went onto the field and in two hours had made almost the identical dispositions to at tack the place that had been figured out as the correct ones by the instruc- tor himself after more than six hours work over the ground.

REDS AND BLUES
 FIGHT A DRAW
Battle Exercise at Squaw Mountain Proves Inter csting and Instructive First Aid and COurt-Mar- tial Work at Night

The Reds and Blues fought draw
 yesterday afternoon all over the ground
 that leads up to Squaw Mountain, and
 when it was found that nothing could
 win as to dispositions except hard
 fighting. superior forces, the recall was sounded and the troops brought
 back to camp tired, dusty but satisfied
 that they all had learned something.
 You see it was this way, there was not d sure enough fight going on out near
 SqueW Peak, but q theoretical battle, and battle exercise. or field manouVer, or whatever one wants to call it, went on out there between officers of the National Guard of Arizona commanded by Major II. II. Donkersley known as the red force and attachments from two companies of the First Infantry commanded by Major Grinstead.
 The story of the manouver and the work itself was very interesting indeed not only to the men actually engaged in it but also to those who travelled out to the scene Of the fight to witness the work of the officers and men. For the first and only time since the off cerS school camp was organized at the Fair Grounds an exercise Soley for the benefit of the field officers was con ducted. The other work during the week has been entirely for the com pany officers but the work yesterday was for the field officers and entailed q great deal of work on the part of the company officers and the enlisted men. However remembering the fact that the field officers had been generous enough to take what came to the company officers all week and the additional fact that each one may be q field of ficer himself one of these days, they went at it in good part.
 Major Donkersley with six compan- ies of Red Infantry and two machine guns was supposed to be pursuing a Blue force composed of four companies of infantry and a mountain howitZer out the Park Road toward the Paradise valley. where a much stronger Blue force was supposed to be camped. Ma jor CrinStead commanded the Blues and had about one hour and a quarter start of Major Donkersley By four o'clock in the afternoon he had reached the Arizona canal and the information was brought to him that he was about to be caught up with. Scenting the danger he ordered one company to de- ploy along the north bank of the canal with the object of forcing the enemy also to deploy, thus allowing Grinstead and his Blue force to get into the mountain passes with minimum of trouble.
 He proceeded to the pass one mile ! west of Squaw Peak, directly north of Park road and got a good look at the ! advancing force which he made out to | be stronger than his own. He estab i lished his mountain hoWitZer on {

The crowded condition of the city schools has given the board of trustees some concern already this year The recent census of children attending the school at the end of the school year just closed showed that there were GA more than when the school opened, in the city of Phoenix alone. These children must naturally be taken care of this next year, and there $ the added propo- sition of taking care of the increase between the close of school in the spring and the opening of the school in the fall

MONEY DOESN'T HELP.
Dean Briggs Says Harvard Tries for
Clean Game.

Cambridge. Mass, Feb. Eft am
not sure that the enormous outlay of
money on the athletic teams of the
college has increased the chance of
victory, and 1 am sure that it has
damaged some players" declares Dean
LeBaron r. Briggs, chairman of the
committee on the regulation of athlet-
les at Harvard college, in his annual
report which was made public today.
Dean Briggs says further:
I'm certain things related to ath-
letic games the college should spare
no expense. For example, she should
studiously and at any cost reduce the
danger to life and limb
Discussing the Luxurious living of
college athletics the report says:
"A boy. poor when he comes and
poor when he goes, gets a bad start
in the struggle for a living if he has
learned to regard costly food, automo-
biles on the slightest provocation,
free entertainment in hours of leisure
and refreshments as due from the
world to him.
Much is being done at Harvard to-
ward reducing the expense of MAIN
tanning the athletic teams, Dean
Briggs says. and in closing he adds:
Harvard has honestly tried to play
a clean game"

FUNDS SOUGHT.
Mexicans Arrange $1O,OOO,OOO
Loan from n. Y. Bankers.
New Administration Has ONLY
$4,000 i'm Treasury.

New York, Feb. 27.-The new adj
ministration of Mexico, which faces
the perplexing task Of reconstructing
the government of the country with
treasury that is practically empty,
has immediate access to SO, 100000
in New York. according to a report
which has gained currency.
Less than three weeks ago, accord
ing to this report. Ernesto Madero,
then Mexican minister of finance, sent
a special messenger to New York to
negotiate a loan of $10,0O0,000 with a
well-known banking firm. The nego-
tiations were completed on the basis
of II per cent. one year notes.
These notes were sold to the bank
ing firm, but the Diaz revolution had
a climax in the meantime and
they were not delivered. This bank
ing firm, whose name cannot be di-
vulged, is willing to make the loan to
the new administration in Mexico, and
thus it is only necessary for the
Huerta government to confirm the ne
gotiations of Ernesto Madero's mes
senger to obtain the money.
How badly this $10,000.O0O may be
needed is indicated by the fact that
the Mexican treasury contains only
$4,000 at the present time.
