Gen. Pershing Compliments
Stamina and Spirit of
ExpeditiOnary Force

Hea adouarters OF the American Puni-
tive Expedition Forces, Colona Dub
Ian Mex, March 26. via wireless to
Columbus, y. M.-Brigadier General
J. J. Pershing, commanding the Am
erican troops pursuing Villa to-day
complimented the stamina and the
spirit of the troops comprising the eX-
made the statement in his headquar-
ters tent-the tent over which have
swept singing dust storms, bitter
sleet and biting winds all of which the
troops in the field have faced in
rapid succession.
No similar body of any army would
have arrived in better conditions in
the circumstances, he said. The SER
vice encountered by the command in
cluded some long marches by the cav
airy and long stretches of desert COW
cred by the infantry and artillery.
March Unequalled
The march of concentration at the
first base is not believed here to have
been equalled by any command of this
size in recent years. And through il
all the morale OF the ,roops has been
excellent. The spirit of the command
is shown by the eagerness which the
men have manifested in pushing for
ward through the heat OF bare pla-
teaus, the fury of the Mexican dust
storms and the bitter cold of noun
famous attitudes
The men all seemed TO feel that il
was part of the days work. General
Pershing was asked to specify in detail
some of the records set by American
troops in the present expedition such
as the 27-mile-trip made in single
day through the desert by infantry
companies under heavy equipment
and the cavalry rides. the hardships
of which are said 10 have torn at the
very souls of the troopers. But he
shook his head, smiled a bit and re-
piled:
NO. Id rather not. Can't you see
that might appear somewhat as
though we were attempting 10 throw
bouquets at ourselves"
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-27


that it was expected that some OF
them at least also have Joined Villa"
The fact that this news was passed
by the censor was regarded as signifi-
cant here where every report from
the interior of Mexico has agreed that
there was disaffection among the
Carranza troops.
1T is pointed out here that there
are very good reasons why the men
in the ranks at least, should desert
the standard of General CarranZa.
They receive only about ten cents a
day and are reported to be in need of
food and equipment. The first chief
has given strict orders against loot
ing which arc said to be generally
obeyed. Against this Villa not only
permits, but encourages his followers
TO loot and his customary pay is a
bullet.
Apart from the immediate pursuit
of Villa. interest centered to-day in
the situation in Durango and Coahuilo.
There seems little doubt that the Villa
forces have made considerable head
way in both of these States.
