TROOPERS TO TRAIL
BANDITS TO LAIR
DRIVE IN MEXICO TO BE QUICK
AND SURE, ACCORDING TO !
PRESENT PLANS.
General Funston to be in Command Of
Expedition to Capture Villa, But
Will Not Lead American
Troops in Person.

Washing ngton.-General Funston, un.
hunt down Villas bandit army in
northern Mexico, is moving his troops
behind veil of rigid secrecy
War department officials, who had
given the border commander free
hand in working out details of the ex-
pedition, made it clear that they re-
garded it imperative to success that
all information which might aid Villa
in eluding the American forces
must be guarded scrupulously.
Instructed by the war department
at Washington that he was not to per-
sonally command the troops that will
search for Francisco Villa, Major
General Funston, the commander of
the southern department, has arranged
details of the expedition and planned
for the safeguarding of the entire
Mexican border.
A close censorship has been estab-
lished, however, on proceedings. All
announcements are made by General
Funston himself.
General Funston has announced
however, that while he will not lead
the troops in person, that an officer
subordinate to him will lead the men
against Villa, and that he has in
structions to trail the bandit leader
to his lair, and capture him, dead or
alive.
General John Pershing will lead the
American troops in the pursuit Of the
attackers OF Columbus.
Both Generals Funston and Per-
shirNg are known in the army as ''get-
ters. Directing their operations
from Washington is Major General
Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff, whose
reputation along the same lines had
been established before either Fun.
SION or Pershing-they are both
young generals-had ever worn an
officers uniform.
Funston's most spectacular exploit
was his capture of Aguinaldo in 1899
IN the Philippines. Here he used the
tribal hatred of the Macabebees for
the Taealogs to consummate his mis-
sion. Placing himself in the hands
or Macabebee soldiers, together with
number of picked American officers
and men, he was taken into Aguinal-
dos secret mountain camp as a pris-
oner, and there surprised and over
powered Aguinaldo and his staff. tax
Ing them prisoners to Manila.
1t was Funston's knowledge of the
Seculiar country that won his success
by which he was awarded his first
star Admirers of Funston believe
that it will be by this knowledge of
the Mexican treacherous nature that
Vi~l will be brought In, rather than
by use of overwhelming forces.
In carrying ou. such a plan no ADLER
lieutenant could be found in the army
than John j. Pershing, who used the
same tactics in SO far as they were ap-
plicable in the subjugation of the
head-hunting Moros in the wild

Settlers Relieved from Paying
for Water They Did Not Re-
ceive During 1915 Season.

Attorney w l. Dunn and John

committee of the Oakley Canal
Waters Users association, ap.
pared before the board at the
Monday morning meeting in
regard to the recent order of the
board for the elimination of cert
ain lands under he twin Falls
Oakley project 1t was explained
that the state engineer now is
working ON the order for the
cutting down OF the project.
The Board took action at the
morning meeting ON the question
OF irrigation payments on the
same project, The following
motion was made and passed
unanimously.
"lt is the sense of this board
that the settlers OF the Twin
Falls-Oakley project who did
not receive water for the year
1918 according to contract and
who suffered crop failure as a
result, shall not be required to
pay to the Twin lls-Oak!ey

stalment OF principle and interest
due prior to the year 1916, until
after they have been furnished
water according to contract for
the irrigation season of 1916"
The following resolution and
statement were read into the
record upon the request of the
governor, but were not voted
upon or passed By the board.
Whereas, It, appears that the
following officers and employees

Heaven or Hell.
Grace IIllery Channing)

(By Grace Ellery Channing).
Soul our day on earth is done.
We are failing with the fading sun;
Tomorrows rising, shall behold
An empty tenement and cold,
Deserted, tenantless and bare,
Which thou and Life so long did
share,
And, Soul we shall be wandering
where?
In what strange land, to what strange
doom,
Avakes the sleeper from the tomb ?
O Soul, consider well,-
Dost merit Heaven or Hell?
We've sinned, my Soul; in every way
Our wayward wills have gone astray
No uncommitted fault, no thought
Of evil, but we too have wrought;
We've sinned alas!--yet, Soul, be
brave;
Disputcless claim to Heaven we have,
For it a heaven here we gave:
We loved, were loved; for fear Of sin
We starved Love till he died within,
We conquered nightly,
Heaven the reward shall be.
O Soul,-a sudden fear
Go umbler here!
What if at last in some dread place
We see d judging angels face,
With fainting, trembling eyes, that
seek
Our doom ere the divine lips speak ?
And what if then, Soul, we see
Adjudged by that august decree,
Our sin, O Soul, our sin to be
Nor this, nor that; no one Of all
The slips we counted each a fall
But sin all sins above,
The pride which murdered Love?
Soul dying eyes sec WE'LL
Heaven lOveless will be-Heu
