MORE TROOPS
 SENT PERSH|NG
SUPPLIES BEING FORWARDED
Indications Point to the Belief that Army Officials are Fearful of Trou- ble in Mexico if the Troops are Not Withdrawn.

COLUMBUS, April 29.-A large body of United States troops left here yesterday afternoon to reinforce Gen. Pershing's expedition in Mexico.
 The sending of these troops is talk en here to indicate that Mexican af- fairs are still far from an amicable settlement, and that the military au- thOrities are not at all satisfied with the situation in that country. While they refuse to give out any informa- tion, it is believed that the officials hold the opinion that the concentra- tion of Carranza troops between Per shing's expedition and the border is extremely threatening and that the Mexican government is preparing to xive battle to the Americans in the (event the troops are not ordered with in 8 few days.
 Large supplies of munitions and fOodstuffs are being rushed to Per- shing and in the event of trouble he will be we'll equipped to stand an at tack by the Mexicans.

SAYS
 PLANES USELESS
TOO LIGHT FOR WAR PURPOSES
Lays Failure of the Aviation Corps
 with Pershing's Corps with Per- shing's Expedition in Mexico to
 the Machines with Which Equipped

FL PASO, April 29.-Gen. Freder- ick Funston states that the aerial squadron accompanying the Pershing expedition has not come up to expec- tations, and while the members have accomplished some good scouting, they have been of comparatively lit- tie use to the expedition. The General does not lay the blame for this hpon the members of the aviation corps, stating that they have displayed ex- cellent training in this branch, and have endeavored to fill the duties re- quired of them. The fault lies with the planes with which the corps are equipped, which, the General states, are too light and fragile, and wholly unfit for the rough duties for which they are called upon to perform. As exhibition machines they are all right, but for practical purposes in war time they are utterly useless.

But don't be afraid Just you wait

and the fox was creeping nearer and
nearer to Jennie, getting ready to
grab her first. when what did Bright

leaves that grew nearby and throw
them right in the eyes Of that bad
fox.
. Now, horseradish leaves are very
smarty and peppery, you know, al
most like mustard. and when they got
in the fox's eyes they made him so he
couldn't see, and they hurt him, too.

chance. When we can get away before
he sees us!"t
So they ran away, taking all. the ap-
pies they could carry, and the fox
couldn't see for ever so long for he
couldn't get his eyes open. So that is
how Brfgheyes, and Jennie Chipmunk
were saved, and the y went home and
