realize that the present warfare is
likely to be long drawn out. They I'M
questionably would prefer a pitched
battle and to have the thing over with
once and for all. but the history OF the
past along the border in Mexico makes
1t seem probable to army men that
there will he a splitting up OF the
forces of the pursued bandits and that
the captures or killings must be made
in detail
1t is also possible, Of course, that
there may be one fight before the sep
aration of the renegade force into
small units. 1t may be that the en-
gagement vii! not be decisive and that
thus an opportunity will be given for
the scattering.
In the year 1891 "a band of MeXicans
led by man named CARA who had
many of the characteristics OF Villa,
split into flying fragments" and gave
the United States forces all that they
wanted to do in order to effect cap
lures. There is on record one specific
case which is typical of many cases
and which may prove to be the coun-
terpart of individual man hunts which
perhaps must be undertaken before
Villas scattered followers are cap
turcd, band after band. and the round
up is completed.
How Dickman Did It.
Joseph T.. Dickman is now colonel
of the Second cavalry. During the
Cara uprising in 1891 he was first
lieutenant OF the Third cavalry, sta
toned on the border The followers
OF the Mexican chieftaiu had split up
into bands and alternately were hiding
and raiding Lieutenant Dickman was
on a scout with orders to trail through
a certain section of the country. He
had been doing "A lot OF thinking on the
possibilities in the case, and when he
had gone some distance from the head
ing and went by the left flank to a
place where the thick chaparral opens
out toward the clear country.
1t is not proba BILE that an. Eody but
Dickman knows to this day just how he
figured out that he was going to make
killing that morning after there had
been months and months of practically
unsuccessful hunting for the scattered
members of the guerrilla band.
Dickman led his small detachment
straight away at swinging gait. He
gave an order suddenly that made his
1t.
that business was at hand. The or.
ders were explicit and suddenly the
thing opened A volley came from
men concealed in the brush at the
troops front. 1t was wasted yolley.
