Viscount Monck and
Earl of Antrim Are
Both in Mourning

This is the birthday of two Irish
nobIem en-Viscount Monck, who has
his family seat in County Wicklow,
and the Earl of Antrim, whose Irish
estates are in the county of that name
Viscount Monck's eldest son and heir,
the Hon. Charles Henry Stanley Monck
who held a commission in the Cold
stream Guards, was killed in action
some time ago, and the Earl of An
trim is mourning his brother, Sir
Schornberg Mcdonnell, who died of
wounds received while fighting in the
trenches in France.
Viscount Monck was born in Dub
lin sixty-seven years ago to-day ana
succeeded to the title in 1894 upon
the death of his father, the fourth
Viscount Monck, who gained per-
manent place in New World history as
the first Governor-Genera1 OF the Do
nninion of Canada. The late Viscount
was created a baron of the United
kingdom in recognition of his SER
vices in Canada, The fifth Viscount
was in his younger days an officer OF
the Coldstream Guards, the famous
military organization with which MS
eldest son was fighting when he was
killed. The Viscount had much ac-l
tive service in Egypt before his re-
tirement, with the rank Of captain.
The Monck family estate consists OF
about $4,000 acres in Wicklow, k1I-
kenny, Wexford, Westmeath and the
City of Dublin The Monck family
has a long and honorable history, and
one of the ancestors of the present
Viscount, George Monck, Duke OF Al
bemarle, brought about the restora-
ton of the monarchy in England in
1860.
The Earl of Antrim, eleventh of a
line created nearly three centuries
ago, was born Jan. 8. 1851, and sue
ceeded his father when he was only
eighteen He owns about $4,000
acres, chiefly in County Antrim. Wis
count DunIuce, son and heir Of the
Earl, is an officer Of the Royal Lanca-
shire regiment, serving in France. The
EarTs younger son, Angus Mcdonnell
married an actress in Chicago few
years ago, and lived in British Column
bia for some time. Some years ago
an attempt was made to secure pos
session of the Antrim titles and es-
tates by an American claimant hall
ing from Indiana, who declared that
he was descended from a son OF an
Earl of Antrim who ran away to sea
and after many wanderings, settled
in the United States and founded
a family. The Hoosier claimant was
unsuccessful in his quest for Irish
honors and land, but not until he had
given the Earl some anxious moments.

GOLD AND AMMUNITION
BURIED BY VILLAS MEN

Villa has 5000 mon with him now,
according to the mos: authoritative re
ports. Ten thousar2 men, it is b>
li:ved, will join him on the day the
American invasion is launched Men
old in the wisdom of the border say
Villa will have from 10000 to 10000
'nen within week after the hated
"gringo" sets foot in Mexico.
Tales come out of Mexico Of gold
silver. and ammunition that Villa has
buried that put to shame the stories
of Captain Kidd and the lost pirate
treasure of Cocos island.
II should place the gold and silver
in bullion and money that Villa has
buried in northern Mexico at $780,.
900" said one of the bandits former
lieutenants. The spots where this
treasure is buried are known to no
one on earth except Pancho Villa. The
men who buried it for hin, were shot.
villa himself told me of one cache
of treasure he made in the mountains
near Guerrero, which is popularity sup
posed to have been his birthplace. 1t
required pack train of six burros to
carry the sacks Of money and gold and
silver bars to the spot where Villa
had decided to inter them.
Six men dug the trench. After
their return to camp. Villa had them
arrested on a charge of treason. They
met their death in front OF q line OF
Mausers and took the secret of the
buried wealth into the other world
with them.

asked about him. He was q good so

AS practically all Villas men arr
mounted, to catch him mounted troops
will have to be used. This means cav
airy and field artillery. If he gets into
the Sierra Madres mountain artillery
only can be used. In this type of ar
t1llery the guns are dismounted from
the carriages and all the parts and am
munition carried on pack mules.
One Aero Squadron.
We have one aero squadron which,
II 1t can get over the country, probably
will be of great use in helping to locate
any considerable forces Villa may
keep together. We have no reserve OF
men or horses to bring our regiments
to war strength or to make good cas-
ualties. Therefore, even if we start
with them at peace strength, we will
have to let the regiments used run
down in strength or else fill them up
with green men and green horses The
greater the number of these the less
the efficiency, with the consequence
that as time goes on we will probably
need a good many more men than
would have been the case had we at
the present time sufficient trained re-
servists to fill our regiments to war
strength and to make good casualties.
Will Resort to Guerrilla Warfare.
From Villas expressed intention to
involve the United States as much as
possible in order to force intervention,
the proba utilities are that he will not
make any attempt to fight a campaign
but will scatter his forces. in order
to give as much trouble as possible.

problem, due to the extent of coVntry

HARASS|NG WITH SCATTERED BANDS
LIKELY TO BE VILLAS TACTICS

Washington, D. C.-The administra-
ton has announced that it has no in
tention of entering Mexico in force,
and therefore will merely send a suffi
cient body of mobile troops 10 locate
and dispense or capture the band or
bands which attacked Columbus.
This, then, is the problem before the
war department.. To bring this about,
two forces must be provided, one to go
after Villa and the other to guard the
border, so that he or other Mexican
leaders may not raid it as was done at
Columbus, says Capt. Henry J. Reilly
in the Chicago Tribune.
If Villa keeps his forces concentrat.
ed and offers battle, the problem will
be much more simple than if he scat.
ters his forces in small bands all over
the country. If he keeps them concen.
trated we will have to send force sui.
ficiently large to defeat him in battle
and to guard its own line of communi.

We have never had enough troops to

has been that in most vicinities the
