March Under Blazing Sun.
One marine battalion. ordered to hurry
out to Ell Tejar, made the march under
a blazing sun. Another battalion OF
marines and a battalion Of the 4th In
fantry were taken forward as quickly as
the rickety narrow, gauge railroad and
the patched-up locomotives could take
them At the same time artillery and
mounted detachments with machine gun
platoons were held in readiness.
The threat to take El Tejar Is re-

by Gen. Gustavo Mas himself.

The Mexicans were carrying hundreds

very friendly and informed the Ameri-

along the other line, and it was in that
direction that the battle. II any, must

A Mexican corporal during the meeting
declared he did not know how far back
Gen. Mas was nor how strong his
forces were except that there was a
party of forty men a few miles beyond
the break in the line. Much smoke was
seen along the railroad and it was de-
duced that the Mexicans were engaged
in burning the ties and destroying the

Road Law Not Enforced.

On the haciendas, which in some in
stances are larger than one of our coun-
ties. the necessary roads are crudely
maintained by the owners merely for
their own convenience.
The laws of Mexico provide that the
roads be at least thirty-six feet wide
and that they be repaired each year.
Failure to comply with these provisions
entails a double fine on the offending
parties. the fine being paid, theoretically.
in either labor or money. There is no
attempt to enforce this law, and the
roads are given little attention.
In Cuba and the Philippines the first
work that was required from the army.
after sanitation had been accomplished.
was the improvement of the roads. The
Philippines had no road system when the
American army landed, but now there is
a very modern system to be found in the
islands. The advance of civilization. ac-
corning to the American Highway Asso-
citation, usually can be gauged by a

THREE ROUTES TOARMY
FOR INVADING MEXICO
Laredo Way Regarded Best, But All
Roads Are Classed
as Bad.

Discussion of the likelihood of more
troops being moved from the border into
Mexico, with prospect of an attack on
Mexico City, has caused those interested
in engineering work to consider the
routes by which an army could be
moved into the southern republic
There are three routes by which an
invading army might enter Mexico, the
one starting at Laredo, which avoids
the long desert; another by way of Ell
Paso. and the third by way of Eagle
Pass.
The Laredo-to Saltillo road, regarded
by army officers as the best as well as
the shortest military route to Mexico
City, Will present unexpected difficulties
to an invading army. according to state
ment issued by the American Highway
Association at Washington headquarters

Rain Impairs Many Highways.

Within a few weeks the season for
rain will begin In Mexico. and. owing
to the failure of the officials Of that
country to maintain their roads, many
Of the highways will become impossible
According to this statement the roads
in Mexico are in such bad condition
that the hauling of artillery over them
will be very difficult, especially after
the rainy season sets in and the high
ways become heavy with mud
With the exception of the valley of
Mexico and few mining regions, there
are few improved roads in the state. In
most sections they are little better than
the unimproved earth road. and very
little work is done either in repair or
maintenance. except as is absolutely nee
essary for immediate traffic
In the state of Chihuahua, where Car
rama and Villa have their political head
quarters. government appropriation,
amounting to only. $1,000 in gold each
