The tourist season" is about to
open in Alaska and Il endures until
October. Those interested in ship
ping and transportation predict this
year will see the greatest influx of
tourists that the country has ever
known, for many Americans with
money and leisure whom the war
bars from Europe will explore Uncle
Sans most northern territory.
The tourists from the states ha-
bitually speak Of Alaska as a north

western country" The Aleutian
Islands, constituting the extreme
western part of Alaska, extend so
far toward Japan that a traveller
from New York to Attu Island, Of
the AleutianS. would not be half way
to his destination on reaching San

MOREY. HERO OF
CARR|zAL FIGHT
Captain Forces Troopers to
Abandon Him on Desert.
THINKS THAT HE IS DYING
Commander CompeIs Men 10 save
Themselves and Garry Report OF
Battle to Pershing-Later
Escapes Himself

San Antonio, Textile story of
how Capt. Lewis S. Morey, commander
of Troop K, Tenth cavalry, severely
wounded in the CarriZal battle be-
tween American troopers and Car
rama soldiers, escaped with four of
his troopers and later forced his men
to abandon him on the desert in order
that they might save themselves and
carry his report of the fight to Cen
leral Pershing is told in official dis
patches received at army headquarters
here The cold official reports add
another story of heroism to the many
that have come from the scene Of the
unequal battle in the Mexican desert.
Later dispatches showed that Cap
tain Morey also managed later to re-
turn to the American lines and is safe.
After the tide of battle had turned
against the little American force,
which was overwhelmingly Outnum-
Ibered by the Mexican soldiers, Cap
tain Morey with the three unwounded
and one wounded men were together.
The five men realized further fighting
would be in vain and took refuge in a
hole 1000 yards from the scene of the
battle. There. while the Mexicans

Ell Paso, Tex, June q. - General
Pershing's forces are reported to be
within striking distance of General
Trevino's- army at Villa Ahumada.
The Mexicans are throwing up earthen
breastworks in anticipation of an at
tack The American column is said
to have halted, awaiting such orders
as may follow the reply of First Chief
Carranza to President Wilson's last
ultimatum. A rumor that fighting
had started between the two forces
sent thrill along the border during
the early afternoon, but the infOrma-
ton was discovered to be unfounded
San Antonio, Tex, June 27.-General
Funston said that 1900 Mexican sol
diers were at Naco, held On train,
and added:
I'VE think we know what their plan
is and we are ready to block it,
General Funston at a late hour had
received no further report from Per
shing. Whether Major Jenkins and
Major Howe are returning with their
squadrons of the Eleventh cavalry
from the vicinity of Carrizal has not
been announced.
Boyd Had Fight Report.
Captain Boyd's notebook, taken from
his pocket by a negro sergeant who
was by his side when he was killed,
will be an important document in fix
ing responsibility for the CarTiZal
fight. Pershing reported roughly its
contents to Funston in a dispatch
Pershing says that the circumstances
plainly indicate Gomez planned an am
buscade in the town.
AS reported to Funston, foTty-three
enlisted men and an officer, Captain
.Morey, have reached the American
lines from the Carrizal fight One
trooper is known to be making his
way north to Sabinal Allowing for
seventeen prisoners at Chihuahua,
twenty-five men are still missing
Captain Boyd was killed. The fate of
lished definitely. Probably most of
the twenty enlisted men were killed,
but a few Of them may yet be found
alive.
General Funston announced that
two Illinois brigades and one Wiscon-
sin brigade, all infantry, would be
brought to Fort Sam Houston and kept
here temporarily, to be ordered OF to
other points as the need might de-
velop.

hunted for the American survivors,
Captain Morey wrote his report of the
fight. This was 9:15 o'clock on the
morning of the fight.
The men remained in the hole for
the rest of the day, and when night
came they intended to make their way
TO the American lines.
Carry Captain.
The commander was too weak, as a
result of loss of blood and the effect
three faithful negro soldiers picked
him up and took turns in carrying him
on their backs.
The troopers also became weakened
by thirst and long exposure, but they
made their way two miles across the
desert from their hiding place before
they were forced to stop.
Captain MOrey then realized he was
hopelessly wounded and that he was a
handicap to the men.
He ordered them to leave him in
the desert. The negroes protested.
Their leader pointed out to them the
fact that he only made their chances
of escape less.
Orders Men to Save Selves.
They appealed to him TO allow them
TO take the chance, but Morey was de-
termined that his report should get TO
General Pershing at any cost and or
dered the troopers. as their command
ing officer, to go forward. Their mill
tary training forbade any other course.
and they departed.
The negroes stumbled forward
across the desert until they were
picked up by a detachment under
Lieut.. Henry A. Meyers, Jr.. which
was securing the country to pick up
men who had escaped the massacre.
Morey's Report of Fight.
Here is the report of the battle writ
ten by Captain Morey. while hiding in
the hole in the ground:

Captain Boyd said he was going to
Ahumada at this time.
"He was talking with Carranza COM
mander. General Gomez was sent a
written message requesting that Cap
tain Boyd could bring his men into
town and have a conference.
Captain Boyd feared an ambush.
He was under the impression that
the Mexicans would run as soon as
we fired.
"We formed for attack, his inten-
ton being to move up to the line of
about 40 Mexicans on the edge of the
town. We formed Troop G on the left
in line of skirmishers, one platoon of
Troop K on right of line, and another
Troop K platoon on extreme right,
echeloned little to the rear.
Mexicans Fire First.
when we were within 300 yards
the Mexicans opened fire, and strong
one, before we fired shot; then we
opened up. They did not run, to make
long account short. After about an
hours fire, in which both troops had
advanced, Troop G to position of Mex
lean machine gun and Troop X clos
ing in slightly to the left, we were
busy on the right keeping off flank
attack. A group of Mexicans left
town, went around our rear, and drove
our led horses away at gallop.
"At about nine O'Clock one platoon
of Troop K, which was on our right,
fell back Sergeant said he could not
stay there. Both platoons fell back
about 1000 yards TO the west, and
then. together with some men of Troop
G who were there, these men scat
tered.
81 was slightly wounded. Captain
Boyd, a man told me, was killed.
Nothing was seen of Lieutenant Adair
after the fight started, so a man saw

as the inevitable consequence.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois, the Democratic whip, con-
ferred with the president regarding
