The Logical Point
For a Mobilization Camp Of National
Guards, Says the New York
Telegraph Correspondent.

ht ibllbNih - - 'iAA viz ANN "
York Telegraph of June 20;
Columbus pretty little neigh
Dor, Deming, about forty miles
to the north, is burning UP the
wires to Washington, ID. c., in
an effort to persuade the admin.
istration to the belief that Dem.
ing, New Mexico, is a border
town and of strategic Importance
as a United States army base for
the National Guards.
Deming surely is an oasis in
the desert, but there is about
forty miles OF said desert be
tween Deming and the nearest
pont into Mexico, which is the
gateway beginning at the Colum.
bus army base camp.
The night of the raid at Colum-
bus Deming came to the rescue
as quickly as it could, but on ac
count OF the distance and the
bad road for autos the MeXicans
were over the border before tie
van of cars arrived on the scene.
Columbus is now well equipped
for the reception of troops, even
thousands more than have al
ready been accommodated here
can be taken care of, with the
additional benefit To the militia
that regulars are on the ground
to help in making of new camps,
and under expert and efficient
guidance of the regulars the new
comers are broken To harness
with astonishing quickness.
DemIng has none Of these ad
vantageS. lthas railroad facilities
but so has Columbus, and there
is no trans shipping of troops
necessary here. Those sent
direct to Columbus, when they
arrive are at the Mexican gate,
and not only is this a time saving
arrangement, but il is a money
saving plan as well, aud Uncle
Sam needs look To the cost of
things from now o. if this
Mexican situation is to be the
long drawn.out affair we of the
southwest believe likely.
1t would probably take two
days for troops to move by foot
from Deming to the Mexican
border, and they would have to
come through Columbus at that,
so il is foolish if not unpatriotic
for the former To suggest to the
East, which cannot understand
these geographical distances,
that Deming is in any sense a
logical point TO. mobilization
camp The only route in direct
line to the border from Deming
is south TO Columbus by motor
truck-this would take three
hours or more-and the trucks
would have to 20 from Columbus,
for though Uncle Sam has now
five. hundred trucks in service
they are so bitterly needed be,
tween Columbus and the fur.
thest base in Mexico that the
truck drivers now have not more
than one nights rest before they
are sent south with more sup.
plies for the army. SOa detour
of eighty miles after Deming
soldiers would be wasteful and
foolish.
El Paso is on a direct line from
Deming, but il is seventy miles
away, so to go TO FL Paso from
Deming TO reach Colum bus
would be twice as bad as TO gC
