LONDON, July 4-Several special
trains loaded with wounded from the
battlefield in France arrived at the
three principal London stations last
evening. Great crowds assembled at
the approaches to the stations and
cheered the men, must of whom had
been wounded during the fighting on
Saturday.
In few cases, the men were still
so dazed that they were unable to tell
what day it was but in a majority of
the cases, their condition was not very
serious 1t is remarkable how few men
were suffering from shell or bullet
wounds. Most of them were victims
of bayonet, testifying to the hand to
hand nature of the fighting.
"The soldiers had vivid stories of the
battle to relate A. Gordon Highlander
declared that the regiment had added
a glorious new chapter at Mametz, to
its history.

"They swept over the ground and car

WASHINGTON, July 5-While the
diplomatic aspects of the Mexican diff
ficulty showed no change tonight, war
department measures for a new dis
tribution of the border patrol clearly
indicated that months of active SER
vice along the frontier await the
thousands of national guardsmen gath
ering in the south from all parts of
the country. Only the appointment of
a general officer to supreme COM
mand is lacking now to complete ade-
quate administrative machinery not
only for border operations but for
| campaign of any desired proportions
in Mexico, should general hostilitieS
come.
Under the new plan the 1900 mile
frontier will be divided 40 that the
southern and western military de-
partments will take care of the eastern
| and western extremities of the line, re-
| spectively. Major General Frederick
Funston, relieved from responsibility
| for the entire border at his own rec
ommendation, will continue in COM
mand of the southern department,
| while Major General Franklin Bell,
| commanding the western department,
will transfer his headquarters from
| San Francisco to Douglas, Ariz., to be
in direct touch with his share of the
| border work.
| The mid-section of the border line,
embracing territory between El Paso
and a point near Douglas, and reach
ing northward to the Colorado state
line, will be known hereafter as the
department of New Mexico. Under its
jurisdiction will fall the expedition
into Mexico, based at Columbus, n.
NJ, and Brigadier General John J.
Pershing, now commanding the expe-
dictionary forces, has been offered the
post of department commander.
A message went to General Persh-
ing today asking if he desired to as
sumo the duties of department chief.
as commander in the field. The eX-
pedition is believed to have about com
pleted the movement begun ten days
or more ago, when General Pershing,
for strategic reasons, ordered drawn
in closer to the border. The war de-
partment has no definite information
as to the exact whereabouts of the va
rious camps, but it is thought that the
most advanced patrols now are within
$50 miles of the border
No reply had been received from
General Pershing at a late hour to-
night 1t is possible that he will see
difficulties in the way of combining
command of the new department and
of the eXpeditionary force under one
head. In that case there are indica-
tions that he would be expected to re-
linquish direct command of the expe
dition and establish his headquarters
at some point on the border where
he could give personal attention to
its needs and also supervise the dis
position and training of the thousands
of national guardsmen soon to be add
ed to the portion of the line within
the new department. The war depart
ment has suggested Ell Paso for de-
partment headquarters, but left the
final choice to General Pershing. With
the line of communications generally
shortened the general still could CO.
. ordinate the operations of the vari-
Gus regiments now beyond the line,

EAGLE PASS, July 3-Mexican
troops throughout the north of Mex
leo are being concentrated along
sound military lines, according to
close students Of military affairs
among officers here. News reaching
the border indicates that the general
plan being followed by the Mexican
commands is to scatter small mobile
bodies of cavalry throughout the
country just south of the border and
concentrate their main forces at
points some distance in the interior
to meet attack and also allows the
movement of ammunition and sup
plies when necessary.
Reports indicate that this general
plan is being followed from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of California.
Mexican troop movements have been
almost continuous in some sections
and it is believed that in some cases
the same troops have been moved
back and forth along a certain line
many times. From sources regarded
as reliable, reports would seem to in
dicate the following possible MEXICAN
bases in the north: Monterey, Lam
pazos. Monclove, Cuatro, Cienegas,
Sierra Mojada. Torreon, Chihuahua,
some points between Nacozari and
Fronteras, Hermosillo and some port
of the west coast.
OF these Torreon, from its location
and railroad advantages, probably
would be the main base. A force al
Monterey would be in a position to
oppose an advance from Brownsville
and guard the line leading to Tam
