FABLES Of WAR
ARE CRITICIZED
French Veteran Says COndi-
tons in Trenches Are
Not Luxurious.

GENEVA. May Writing in
the Revue" a French captain who
has been at the front since the drst
day Of the war. almost fiercely at
tacks the legends that have been
spread by war writer's among the
people Of France.
The French press has made
practice of picturipg the conditions
at the front in glowing, alluring
colors," the captain says. our peo-
pie have been told time and again
OF the alleged joyous life OF the SOL
diers and of the comforts and lux
t.ry created by their inventive genius
in the shelters behind the trenches.
These legends hav created an en-
tirely false impression. The citizen
at home regards the 'poilu' as a kind
OF an unconquerable demi-god. who
enjoys the bloody work he performs
and in his shelters has the comforts
of a milliOnaires club after his daily
job of killing 'Boches. Every sol
der is supposed to be superhuman
without faults and without any
thought Of himself. moved solely by
tie spirit OF patriotism and SELF sac
uhce.
Stories ntrue.
"All Of these stories are far from
the truth. Life at the front is every
thing but a round Of pleasure. I'm
the supposedly luxurious shelters the
soldiers often suffer from cold and
moisture and the trenches are most
~ half filed with water. The poIlu,'
although always willing to suffer and
sacrifice himself. is no half god.
"His hardships and the continu-
oUs dangers have made him an ego
fist The war has killed all compass
sion and the sufferings of the indi-
vidual soldiers are so great that the
men have no time to shed tears over
the misfortune IF others

There would be no glory in de-

big hearted men. and its equipment
and organization are far better than
we thought when the conflict began.
we will defeat the enemy i'm the
end, because our soldiers are more
capable and we excel in technical
rsOurces, but the struggle will be
hard and long.
There is no use in deceiving TIE

General Pcrshing, Near
Namaqlipa, Reports to
General Funston.
VILLA THOUGHT TO
BE NEAR AMERICANS
Some Trouble Is Expert
cnccd in Getting Pro-
visions to Troops.

(NAN ANTONIO, Texas, March "a
- General Pershing's report to Cen
eral Funston that two columns OF ms
cXpeditionary force were in the Nicih-
ity of Namaquipa, 12O miles south>
east of Casas Grandes. and repeated
reports from Mexican sources That
villa with comparatively small force
had been forced to stand at I'll Oso
near there, caused officers here to eX-
pcct news at any time of battle.
General Funston thought it probate
that an engagement might already
have occurred.
General Persing referred today for
the first time since last Monday to
his operations south of Casas Grandes.
but his report contained little IN
formation and none concerning any
encounter between Villa and Amerl-
can soldiers or troops of the de iacto
government He said Villa had last
been reported at Namaquipa. rus
report was dated today, reached
Columbus by wireless and was trans
mitted by telegraph to Fort sam
Houston. 1t was taken by army Of
ficers here to indicate that either no
engagement was fought yesterday with
Villa. or that General Pershing had
not learned of II.
villa Army Defeated.
Consul Beltran of the Mexican gov
ernmcnt received a message late to-
day from Consul Gracia at FL Paso
saying confirmation had been received
of the report that Villa had been de-
featcd yesterday in the santa GER
trudis canyon by the American ana
To- 60 n
to El Oso, five miles from Namaquipa
where he was surrounded. The consul
added that one of the American Of
ficers with the eXpeditionary forces
had reported to General Pershing that
they would attack Villa today.
The American troops near Mama
ouipa moved south and east from
Casas Grandes over the trail that
passes through Vale and Cruces.
Vale. 50 miles from Casas Grandes,
was selected by General Pershing as
temporary base. he said in his re-
port to General Funston. The fact
that he mentioned two columns as
having reached points near Mama
quipa caused it to be believed here
that he had called back the third
column dispatched from Casas
Grandes the first of the week from
the trail leading to Carmen, and sent
it south from Galeana to Join the
Seventh cavalry on it's way south
through Vale.
That General Pershing is meeting
with some difficulty in provisioning
his detachment. now more than two
hundred miles from the border, was
indicated by a statement in his report
that unless he could use the North
western railway for transportation he
would need more auto trucks.
