"Home, Sweet Home" His army is
supposedly making forced marches
, eouthward from the captured city in
ssipursuit Of the 10000 federals under
Generals Mas and De Moure, who
evacuated Saltillo Thursday.
1t is believed the retreating feder.
ais have been checked along the rail-
way between San Luis Potosi and
'Saltillo. General Elulio Gutierrez's g
rebel army was assigned the work OF
:. closing communication south of Sal.
ftllo and his army OF 5000 men may
have barred the retreat.
Prominent rebel officials here say
that villa announced before the open
ang of the Saltillo campaign he had
prepared for a federal retreat and
predicted that the Huertistas would
mot make the getaway" they did at
Torreon. This is cause for the belief
that his forces are close on the heels
of the fleeing column If they have not
already overtaken them.
General Pascual Orozco felt the
power Of the revolution when col.
umn OF 5000 federals whom he had
led out from San Luis Potosi against
the rebels was routed by General A.
Garrera Torres at the village OF Caro-
vhda, about 30 miles northeast OF the
capital Advices 10 this effect came
from General Carranzas headquar-
ters in Durango.
General Torres personally led the
attack of the rebels on the federal
positions. Huerta's troops retreated
IN the direction OF San Luis Potosi.
Reipforcements where sent from the
state capital TO the relief OF Orozco's 4
command and are attempting to
check the further advance of the reb-
OILS on the city. General Antonio
GoVea Loya and A. Mendoza, feder
ais, were also with the Orozcc
column.

ONE HEARS VERY little
OF engines nurse

almost become monotonous: Il usually
start with a good supply, and for a
three-weeks trip get pound each OF
butter and coffee, several loaves Of
bread that will keep fresh week if
properly cared for, quarter peck Of
onions and potatoes, half dozen box
es of biscuits, two dozen of eggs, some
canned vegetables, a couple of slices
of ham and sufficient sugar. Like my
self most of the boys have sweet
tooth, and like buns and cakes and rice
puddings. Also no messenger would go
without some cans of sardines, for they
make their favorite sandwiches of
them.
Living in the cab, the only time the
messenger leaves his quarters is when
his charges have been shifted off on a
division waiting the makeup of a
freight train. For, be it understood,
these freight trains do not run from
coast to coast without changes and re-
making. Aso the locomotives travel
on slow freights that make from IF
teen to twenty miles an hour
The run to Kansas is made in an
average time of about eighteen days,
to California as many as forty;five
days may be consumed. This is due to
relays in freight yards and to various
hold-ups when trouble develops in the
new locomotive. 1t is the messenger s
duty to keep his locomotives moving
as rapidly as possible. If the delays
are due to causes which he cannot ov
ercome, the messenger wires the Phila
delphia office. Sometimes the locomo
tives may get many miles along the
way before they are blocked; again
difficulties may develop within the
first few hours.
One thing the messenger must espe
cially guard against is the ''hot box.
In new locomotive the bearings are
stiff and the constant grinding makes
trouble. Often the messenger, expert
enced in such matters, can smell the
trouble" If he thinks it is serious he
gives the engineer of the freight trair
the signal TO stop by waving his arm
in certain manner. Otherwise he
will wait until the train makes a stoI
TO" water. Always at stops he exam
ines his charges.
If necessary he will have the en-
gineer cut out his locomotives ant
place them on siding. When he ha.
brought them into good shape again h,
notifies the division superintendent o
the road and is attached to the mex
freight passing that way. The reason
the pairs of locomotives are distribut
ed throughout a long line of freigh
cars is because of the need of a divi
sion of weight in going over bridges

PRINCE LOUIS OF BATTENsERe

London, May 23-Prince Louis of
Battenberg, who is the Senior Naval
Lord of the British Admiralty, is re-
ceiving many congratulations in ad
vance of his sixtieth birthday anniver-
sary, which comes tomorrow. The
criticism that followed the recent an
nouncement of the appointment of
Prince Alexander of Teck as Cover
nor-General of Canada calls to mind
the fact that Prince Louis of Batten-
berg had to contend with much of the
same sort during his earlier career in
the British navy. The popular OBJ
lection to the Battenbergs as well as
the Tecks is not based on the fact
that they are connected with the royal
family, but that they are of German
origin.
In the case of Prince Louis of Bat
tenberg the objections on these
grounds have a much firmer founda-
tion than in the case OF the Tecks.
Though every inch loyal Britisher,
Prince Louis is nevertheless native
OF Germany, the son OF a German
prince, the bearer of a German name
and title, and the brother-in-law of
both Prince Henry of Prussia and the
German Car.
The post of Senior Naval Lord is
the highest in the British navy after
its representative in the Cabinet, the
First Lord Of the Admiralty. The
rank and file OF the navy has been
more or less opposed to Prince Louis
OF Battenberg holding the post, on the
same grounds that the army long op-
posed the Duke of Cambridge having
the highest command, namely, that it
was given to him because he was a
member of the royal family instead of
for professional competency. Prince
Louis, however, has had wide naval
experience. He was lieutenant on
the lnconstant during the Egyptian
War, and, in charge of battery, land
ed with the naval brigade for the oc-
cupation of Alexandria. He has held
command of a cruiser squadron, in the
Mediterranean feet, nj the Atlantic
feet, and in the Home fleet He also
held the important post Of director OF
naval intelligence.
