DOdd's Flying Tenth Cavalry
Wins Praise.
Zone of Finest Marching Feats
in Army"-FunstOn.
AVERAGED SO MILES A DAY
II Villa Makes Stand, Clash Is
Near at Hand.
Funston Gets Report by Wire
less From Pershing.

San Antonio. Tex, March 1S.-The
march of Colonel Dodd's forces from
Hachita. New Mexico, to Casas
Grandes, slightly over 100 miles, is
said by General Funston to be one of
the finest marching feats in American
army history Funston said that
smaller bodies of picked men had
made marches of 20 miles in "A hours,
but that for a large force to maintain
an average speed of fifty miles a day
in rough desert country is most re-
markable.
Wireless reports from General
Porshing this afternoon gave General
Funston full particulars concerning
the disposition of all troops in the
main column.
The coIored Tenth cavalry regiment,
reported to have been the first to enter
Mexico south of Hachita early Thurs
day, was said to have composed the
Dedd relief party.
In Saddle go Hours.
Led by Mormons who left their
families in Dublan, Dodd's horsemen
were in the saddle almost continuous
~ for sixty hours. Spurred on by re-
ports that the colonists were IN dan
ger of being massacred by Nillistas'
the troopers covered 100 miles of the
most diff. cult desert region in Chihua-
hua on forced marches that will go
down in the annals of American army
history.
The column took advantage of the
knowledge of the Mormon scouts, who
knew every water hole, trail and road
along the route.
Their arrival in Dutlan was admit
ted by an elated army official here
today, who said Colonel DOdd almost
wore his men and horses out going
to the relief Of the men, women and
children in Dublan.
Dodd at Casas Grandes.
The west column of the American
eXpeditionary force in pursuit of Villa
is at Casas Grandes. While General
Funston at army headquarters here
has had no direct word from Colonel
D0dd, he believes the information
given out by General Gavira, Carran
Vista commandant at Juarez, locating
Dodds flying column of cavalry at
Casas Grandes, is correct Villa, ac-
cording to the best information at
Fort Sam Houston, is 80 miles south
of Casas Grandes, in the Galeana dis
trict. His whereabouts, General Fun
ston believes, indicates a clash be
tween United States troops and Villa
bandits within short time.
Clash Looks Near.
j Whether the American cavalry will
come into immediate contact with
villa forces largely depends on the
bandit chiefs policy If he is deter
mined to make n stand, clash is GER
Tain.
The cavalry division of the main
within supporting distance of Col
Dodds forces and it is possible juno
ton Of the two forces will take place
Sunday at Casas Grandes.

Want To SHOW US
Aviator Offers Practical DEM
Onstration of Bomb Dropping.
Exhibition Missiles Will Ex-
plode High in the Air.

DeLoyd Thompson, aviator and cap
| tain of the aerial reserve of the United
States army, is going to show the peo-
pie of thirty different cities in this
country that our bombs should be
loaded with something besides broth
erly love and grape juice, shortly. if
his plans mature to attack various
points at night time.
There need be no cause for real
alarm for the bombs are to be of the
harmless variety but the lesson they
will carry and the impressions they
will make on the citizens of these
cities will be such, it is hoped, that
| they will see the necessity of being
prepared for such an attack.
While the bombs will be of the high
explosive variety they are to be so
arranged that they will explode high
in the air. thus rendering them harm
less to the citizens but the noise they
will make should convince any one
that if so intended they could soon
demolish any section of a city marked
for destruction
Explode at 500 Feet
Each bomb will hang from its own
fuse at the side of the plane, which
will fly about three thousand feet in
the air. and an electric spark will cut
1t loose and start the fuse to burning.
After having fallen five hundred feet
the bomb will explode with terrific
noise.
Another form of educating the pub
lie will be the dropping of several
| hundred excelsior balls covered with
canvas 2nd shellac coated. On each
of these bombs will be printed, This
is a fake bomb. Suppose it had con-
tanned nine pounds of nitroglycerin.
Where would you be?
ANY one having ever experienced
the kick" of a single drop of this
liquid need think no longer about the
outcome
Thompson is negotiating with To-
Deka parties to make this city prac-
teal demonstration of what could be
done to it in a few moments should
hostile biplane hover over it for
few moments and drop a few bombs
loaded with high explosives.
