TOUGH MARCH

Through Sand.

Ell PASO, Texas, Sept. 26.-Facing
an all day march across the New Mex
lean desert under actual war condi-
tons. the tene mile column Of Penn
sylvania troops was under way at
dawn on the second day Of the hun
bred mile hike. The only water sup
ply available had to be hauled from
Fl Paso during the night by tank
trucks.
Yesterday the division marched
eighteen miles with the loss of only
eleven men who fell out Of the ranks
from exhaustion. The problem of a
water supply for the remaining three
days is looming big as the men must
cross arid stretches of fifteen to thir-
ty miles without supply point.
The men Of the Second Pennsyl-
vania regiment felt the first pinch OF
desert campaign harships when their
water tanks sank in the deep sand
and failed to reach camp. Other regi-
ments were forced to share their
water allowance with them.
