CAPTAIN MOREY TELLS STORY Of
FIGHT OF 10TH CAVAtRYhT CARR|ZAL

Field Headquarters (via Radio to
Columbus, N. M. June 27.--Captain
Lewis s. Mofey OF troop X. Of the
Tenth cavalry. the sole officer to
survive the fight with Carranzista
forces near Carrizal. today sat on
the edge Of his bunk In the thatched
hut that Is the headquarters OF the
American forces and told an atten-
tive group OF fellow officers the de-
tails OF the first real tragedy OF this
campaign.
Captain Morey had spent the night
In the hospital after his arrival here
by automobile Sunday. Today, with
his bloodstsined shirt removed and
his body refreshed and cleaned, he
was able to be about camp with his
left shoulder, through which a
Mauser bullet passed, swathed In
bandages.
He first visited General Pershing.
then visited the regiment In what
will probably be one OF the most re-
markable reunions OF the campaign.
AS he walked through the company
streets, fanked by tents and curious
ly woven brush huts, quarters that
men and officers have built, there was
no cheering, no music, but from each
group he passed some officer with
eager face stepped forth and grasped
Morey's UNNAMED hand, exclaiming
"Glad you're back; congratulations
Those were simple words, but they
were fervent. for no man Of this COM
mand had believed Morey would ever
be with them again.
Captain Morey told his story slow
ly, with superb restraint and modesty'
lie blamed no one, drew no conclu-
slons and offered no suggestions as
to what should have been done,
He added little to the tale OF the
fight, except to say that Captain Boyd
and Lieut., Henry Adair died like men
and that in the firing that followed
the Mexican attack the Carransistas
seemed to be cehtering their fire on
the white soldiers.

Morey's troop was on the right
flank when the ball opened" as he
expressed it. and he could follow the
charge OF troop c under Boyd and
Adair only to the fringe OF the brush
into which men and horses disap-
peared.
Men OF troop c tell me-" he said.
that Lieut.. Adair died in an irriga-
ton ditch with his head held by a
non-commlssi0ned officer. There
was water in the ditch and Adair
would have pitched forward into It
had he not been stopped. | under
stand the non-commissioned officer
left Adair in the ditch at his order
and went forward toward Carrizal.
Looking back, he saw Adair with
glazed eyes and his head wobbling
against the sides OF the ditch. So
he went back and stayed with him
until he died.
Captain Boyd was killed when
his troops made rush for the trench
In which the Carranzlstas had ma
chine guns. Just how he died | do
not know"
Morey told how his own small de-
tachment, fighting on their bellies.
withdrew until Morey, wounded in
the shoulder, found himself with
seven men behind an adobe wall

lection from bullets but nm from the

posed to stay there, Those who wish

wounded, elected to try to escape

ENGLAND EXPECTED

Impression Prevails That Safety
 Will Be Assured Austrian Envoy

London Dec "A strong impres- l sion prevails that Great Britain will l grant the request from Washington 1 for a reconsideration of the refusel of 1 a safe conduct for Count Adam Tar } nowski von Tarnow, who was recently appointed Austro Hungarian ambassa- ! dor to the United States.
 Although stating that he had not yet seen the Washington request, Lord 1 Robert Cecil, minister of war trade,
 in discussing the question with the l Associated Press correspondent says: 1 Tt must be kept in mind that the question presents two entirely distinct ] phases. The first is that of belliger- I ents to whom we could not extend fa- l vor under any circumstances. We can discuss and arrange for the exchange 1 of military and civilian prisoners and 1 other similar matters with the cen 1 tral powers, but, on account of their actions in this war, we cannot be ex- pected to grant them a single favor The other phase concerns a friend ly neutral like the United States, to whom we are ready to grant any favor which does not violate our imperative l necessities To grant safe conduct to Count Tarnowski, for which there are precedents, may fall within the latter phase, but it is a difficult ques-
 tion about which it would be danger
 ous to prophesy."
 The American request has been pre-
 sented directly to Viscount Gray. sec
 retary of state for foreign affairs
 Some time may elapse before action Is taken as the French government must be cancelled.
 It became known on November 20 that the United States had sent notes to Great Britain and France request ing reconsideration by those govern ments of their refusal to issue a safe conduct through their blockade lines for Count Tarnowski. The notes point ed out that it was the inalienable right of sovereign nations to exchange ambassadors and insisted that third nation, even in war time, was not jus tif1ed in denying that right.

(Springheld Republican, :.

Judge Hooks decision that the Adamson law was unconstitutional served the purpose of expediting ab immediate appeal to the United States supreme court, but a decision that the law was constitutional would have had precisely the same effect. The judge admitted that his opinion was not based on study of the merits of the question; what he did was to trans late an impression into a judicial de- cision, and his impression might cas- fly have been rooted in mere preju- dice against the statute. No special harm was done, to be sure; for the United States supreme court will not Hook. Yet why should judges of in ferior United States courts whose de-
 cisions are not final on constitutional questions, ever presume to nullify an act of congress on the ground of un
 constitutionality? Why don't they content themselves with a presump

They might well follow that course, leaving to htigants the privilege of appealing from thelr decisions to the higher courts. The practice of minor judges in nulllfylng laws on constitutional grounds mas been much overdone-so much so that proposals have been made that ollly the United States supreme court shall be permitted by law to deny the coh- stitutionality of an act of congress-

San Antonio, Dec. 2.-The United States army's first caterpillar tracor train was believed by officers here to have started today on the second half of it's journey over the west Texas desert between Maria and Presidio. Reports of the trains experimental trip are being waited with interest by officers at Fort Sam Houston, who see in the new mode of transportation a revolutionizing influence in traffic along the border where good roads are few and more trucks cannot go.
 The train consists of a Caterpillar tractor somewhat in principle like the English tank in France, and four trailers loaded with lumber. Several days will be required for the sixty three mile trip which began Thursday, as the tractors make only 1-2 miles an hour.

Providence, R.

The highest tribunal in the nation has been noti fled that unless the Adamson law is upheld the threatened railroad strike will be enforced. It is a threat to starve the nation into submission. The decision resulting may be the proper one, but the means contemplated are wholly wrong.
