TT was not the intentional fault Of
the railroads that we were thus Grip
pied. They have been willing to give
us all the help they could. They sim
for us. You couldn't expect, of course,
that they would have many cars lying
idle down in that country.
IF we did not have to transport SO
much cavalry-if this had been merely
an infantry movement-we would have
been right on Villas heels from the
very start"
Reports reaching Gen. Funston late
today indicated that difficulty of trans
portation might be added to by efforts
of Villa sympathizers along the border
to destroy the lines of communication

Steps have been taken to Illustrate
any similar attempts. 1t will be i'm
possible to patrol the long lines OF
communication between the various
stations, however. Gen. Funston said.
This will have to be largely left to
the railroad companies.
Gen. Funston said trains bearing
troops probably would be preceded by
pilot engines in certain sections where
attempts might be made to blow them
up.

be equipped with complete motor
supply train. an innovation in the

tant bearing on the expeditions sue
cess. Gen. Funston said Once away
from railroads, great quantities Of pro-
visions. forage and ammunition will be
needed. and even water. The motor
train will carry these supplies.
Two hundred horses also are to be
purchased at once to complete the
cavalry quota of mounts.
Lack of Rolling Stock.
II became known today That lack OF
rolling stock, particularly in Arizona
and New Mexico, has hindered troop
movements.
sometimes we have not been able to
get any help from the railroads. Gen.
Funston said. In many instances we
have had to ship men in box cars.
