Promises Made to
Irish Not Kept

DUBLIN, Ireland; April 3.-The
O'Conor Don, the Lord Lieutenant OF
County Roscommon, and one OF the
most active supporters of recruiting
in ireland, has written 10 the Dublin
press complaining that the promise
Of support to their dep:ndants made
to young Irishmen on enlisting has
been very inadequately kept. Delays
OF months have, he says, taken place
in the payments, and In many instan.
ces the amounts allowed have been
totally inadequate. Wounded and dis
charged soldiers have been returning
to their homes In Connaught, and are
often sent back unfit for work and
without any pay or pension being
granted to them. The o'Conor Don
gives several specific cases with full
particulars in proof OF his statements
and adds. that with such instances
we can scarcely wonder at q falling
off in the recruiting returns"

Col. Dodd Will Be Retired
On Age Next
July. @.-
II HOURS IN SADDLE
Regarded AS One Of the
Most Efficient Cavalry
Commanders.

Ell PASO, Texas. April 3.-"This
chap who put Bandit Villa on the run
must be spry young fellow" is what
Mr.. Average American probably said
when he read OF Dodd's ride made by
Col. George A. Dodd when he routed
the bandit. Villa, at San Geroninmo
ranch.
This chap who stuck to his saddle
II hours straight, made 55'mile dash
into Mexican iungles. with ten miles
OF 1t running battle, must have youth
and fire and an iron constitution"
But Col. Dodd. though he may be
spry. isn't young. THE man OF the
hour" in the Mexican invasion Is SIX
ty.four.
He has been in the army 35 years.
In July he will have reached the age
limit OF military service and Will be
retired.
Retirement for ''age.limit" cannot
dim the glory that closes the fighting
days OF the veteran cavalry man. TO
die fighting is fate to which any sol
dier may look forward, but to retire
at the close OF a campaign that would
have daunted the courage, and tested
the endurance OF youth, is a triumph
that comes to few fighting men.
Col. Dodd is not stage hcro-the
movies" will never catch him. He
is a soldier, picturesque in his way,
the type Of man Remington loved to
paint. He is iron-neryed. steel-mus-
cIed and clear.minded.
Except "Black Jack Pershing.. the
daredevil OF the cavalry, there is no
more daring riderSin the army than
Col. Dodd. u. -, ~. 81
The man who routed villa Is the
mar Ewhogpti the s.monKe dfitl into
the$United States cavalry and he made
his men SO agile and fearless they
could cut, monkey shines" on bare
back Of galloping horses.
Col. Dodd, so his men say, Is "dev-
II for discipline" Pity the man who
tries to "soldief" in Col. DJda's regi-
ment. a shot from the most sarcas-
tic tongue in the United States army
brings him, up quick to attention.
Col. Dodd graduated from West
Point in 1876. .rr ...,-..
He soon afterward wen his baptism
Of fire hunting Red Cloud Indians In
Nebraska. The young lieutenant could
ride like cowboy and he was soon
known in the west as Daredevil
Dodd."
When war with Spain broke out
Dodd was captain in the Third cav
airy. He was at San Juan Hill, In
Cuba, and fought with Lawton and
Young In the Philippines.
on his return to the United States
IN 1903 he was sent to Montana to
ouell Chippewa uprising. He has
bcen fighting Indians along the bor-
der for several years.
When Villa became troublesome
Col. Dodd was Immediately Dispatch

Col. Dodd is native OF Pennsyl.

COLUMBUS, \. NJ, April 3.-To.
day, five days after the forces OF
Francisco Villa began their flight from
the battlefield, of Guerrero before the
victorious Americans, details OF the
pursuit are stAl lacking.
Military authorities here are inclNn.
ed 10 believe this means that Col.
George A. Dodd's American cavalry.
men are still searching for the han'
dit leader in some remote mountain
wilderness of Guerrero far out of COM
municAtun with the field base at
Colonla Dublan.
There was no official confirmation of
numerous rumors OF developments In
the pursuit Among these was one
that Villn had been captured and an.
other that the bandit chieftan. seeing
capture inevitable, had committed
suicide.
The stockade to be erected here to
confine the prisoners captured at
Guerrero will be of barbed wire, hang
ing to which will be hundreds OF tin
cans partly filled with pebbles.
Guards, to be placed ut intervals,
would he notified OF any attempted
escape by the rattle Of the pebbles
In the cans. Some apprehension was
expressed here today in q iocular way
that the military authorities may be
confronted with a predicanent SINH
lar to that of Fort Bliss officials, who
m 1918 held 5000 Mexican refugees
prisoners WORD OF regular meals
given to prisoners soon reached
friends on the outside with the result
that each morning at roll.call a larger
number responded than had answered
the day before. {
