Geo gia has to oner-that they arr
men OF whom any parent and ami
state might justly be proud, says th'
Macon News. I
Coming here as they did when th'
war fever" was hottest, buoyed witt
the hope OF an early chance OF get
ting away 10 the excitement Of .
Mexican campaign. these young mel
have remained to see their HOPED
first deferred and then all but LOST
The excitement OF the first few dayl
is past in its stead has come tho
sober realization that they may be-
here Tor an indefinite period and that
only camp routine is ahead of them 81
lar as they may Judge.
Were they any less the men the!
are this would have discouraged then
already. That this is not the cast
is to their undyng credit. 1t proves
that they are men in the fullest sens
Of the word; that they have not takei
their oath to serve lightly; that the.
understand that service in its fulles
and best sense must be cheerfully rem
dored. That they expected to iigh
rather than hang around mObillza
ton camp has not made them forge
that first and foremost they enlist
ed TO serve as the government saw
fit. This they are doing in spite 0
the fact that the service is anything
but pleasant
Aud on still another score hai
Georgia ample grounds to congratu
late herself. Heretofore soldiers, b|
they regulars or volunteers, have beei
looked upon as undesirables, TheI
have not borne the best of names. TIL
public has come to look upon theIi
with at least suspicion of not opel
hostility "Rowdles." "Toughs,l
"Roughnecks," tho public thought
If this has been true of soldiers II
tho past, Georgia's guardsmen are td
tally different from soldiers of othel
days. OF this the fact that upward
Of four thousand soldiers have been
here for more than maonth without
A single one being arraigned before
The recorder gives ample evidence.
Nor IL this due to the fact that these
men would not have been arrested
lad they violated the eity's laws. For
40 orders have been issued making
hem immune from arrest Truth of
he matter is the men have conducted
themselves as soldiers and as gentle
nen both in camp and on the streets
rs they have come in contact with Ma
ION civilians
For the sake OF the men themselves
hundreds OF Wnom are serving not
lnly a great monetary loss, but to the
sacrifice OF other interests, it is to
be hoped that the government will
not find il necessary to keep them in
service Indefinitely. However, Macon
wishes these soldier boys to know
that they have won a place in heI
heart. that they are welcomed here
rs friends SO long as they may stay
ana that their sojourn here will al
ways be remembered by Maoonians as
a most pleasant occasion.

 MANY KILLED
Villa Bandits Perpetrate Outrage Be. tween QuteretarO and Empalme
 Gonzales Last Thursday.

San Antonio, May 15.-Passengers who arrived today at Laredo from the south report one of the boldest train holdups that has occurred is some months, with the killing of eight per sons and the robbery of many thou sands of dollars in the new Carranza currency.
 The train, with private car of Charles A. Dougles, representative Of the United States in Mexico City, att tachec at the rear, left Mexico City, at , o'clock Thursday afternoon.
 Between Queretaro and Empalme Gonzales at 2:3O the next morning the passengers were awakened by a sudden jar and a terrific de onation, followed by a volley of rifle shots. Outside the cars was body of ban dits shouting Viva Villa" and firing continuously.
 The engine and four cars derailed anG the engineer, fireman, helper and
 
 de; were instantly killed. The ban dits entered the second class car in front and worked their way toward the rear, robbing all passengers.
 Among the passengers were two army paymasters who lost their funds, one $2O.0OO and the other $16O 900 in the new currency. A paymas- ter of the Fl Ore Mining company lost $35, 5,OOO in the new Carranza currency, and an American named Hill lost $3,- 900 in gold.
 There were aboard two lieutenant colenels and two major paymasters of the Carranza forces, but they were not recognZe1, as they had removed their uniforms and all insignia oi rank, and one of them even feigned death while the bandits were robbing the other passengers. Eight soldiers had two prisoners under guard and they were abused and the prisoners released
 The arms of the soldiers were talk en from them. No other passengers aboard offered resistance, fearing in stant dea h. The express car is said to have contained million pesos in the new Carranza money, but owing either to the desire of the bandits to get away, or ignorance of the con- tents, it was not broken open. al though it left track and rolled down the embankment. A strange feature was that the private car was not mol ested in any way by the bandits.
