Mexican Orchestra in
Camp of U. S. Soldiers;
AUiat0rs Are Active

General Pershing's Camp at San
Geronimo Ranch, by Aeroplane and
Motor Courier to Columbus, n. NJ,
April s. - A Mexican peon four-piece
orchestra gave an unexpected Sunday
night concert in General Pershing's S
camp last night. 1t was the first
music to which the American forces
have been treated since they entered
Mexico more than two weeks ago.
The orchestra came into camp in a
wagon, returning from Sunday
"felicitation" at a nearby ranch and
was halted by eager shouts of the SOL
diers, just as the camp fires were
lighting about the broad. mountain
enclosed mesa which is the camp
site.
The campfire smoke rose almost
perpendicular, and sounds of camp
carried for great distances.
play some of the Mexican national
airs said General Pershing.
The MeXicans played La Gold
orina." and then some Carmen selec-
tions.
Wonder was expressed at their
musical talent, for they were n ragged
type of poems, dressed in blue jeans,
all except the vaquero driver of the
wagon, who stood at the head of the
line, more ragged than all the rest.
At General Pershing's request one of
them sang "Adelita," n favorite Mex
lean song.
This concert under the stars and
nearly treeless wilderness, lasted for
an hour. Then the Mexicans climbed
into their wagon, seemingly greatly
pleased and drove across the plains,
without lights, over almost impossible
roads.
Each day has found new uses for
the army aeroplanes which for the
first time began flight among the cliffs
and crags of the peaks of the Sierra
Tarahumares less than a week ago. 1t
has been discovered that they are ex-
cellent pathfinders. The native scouts
have not been entirely satisfactory
and in a few instances, when scouts
could not give clear description of
what trails lay beyond a ridge. an
aeroplane has gone up returning with
information which in a few minutes
was transformed into good trail
and Typographical map.
The planes have demonstrated the
skill of the army aviators by daily ad-
ventures which they have pulled
through safely. Two days ago an
aviator was caught in a wind which
blew off his goggles. He finished his
ride with an icy wind estimated at 80
IllllGS All IlOuI blONllS lnlO HIS eyes.
Whenever they are on the ground
the aviators keep in mind General
Pershing's orders to demonstrate the
army's friendliness and they have had
some startling opportunities in this
line, landing among MeXicans who
have never before seen any American
military outfits.
Everywhere along this front the
minds of the people seem to have been
filed with suspicion against Amer
leans. There is evidence that Villa
himself not only told the MeXicans
whom he passed in his retreat that he
would return to punish them for hav-
ing anything to do with Americans
but that he also spread false rumors
through agents all over this section OF
Chihuahua. In some villages where
the Americans have not yet pene-
trated the MeXicans seem to expect an
immediate reign of Villa in his full
power However where the United
States soldiers have had time to make
themselves known the fear of Villa
seems to be wearing off.

was turned into the
yesterday by Mr.. Holler. The check
was for S4,O994S. The nearest ap-
proach to the amount was S3.9S9.7O,
which Mr.. Holler collected in the first
quarter of 1914. During the initial
quarter of 1915 only s1,S65.91. Dur
ing the three months ending April l.
the costs collected amounted to $S,-
OS3.4S; fines $3.50; jury fees $416. The
unusually heavy sum was due to the
fact that there were sessions of crimi-
nal court January, February and
March instead of only January and
March,
Nhlle the first quarter of 1916 was
more than ordinarily lucrative the ex-
penditures were some $4,000 higher
than any previous term. The court ex-
pense for instance in 1915 amounted
10 S7,6S7SS while the first quarterly
sessions of 1916 cost $13, S3322 The
Rraund jurors cost $416 more than
last year; other eXcesses in expenses
were: petit, S2,76O; traverse, $3.50;

Elk Presidents Need Pensions

tx Presidents Need Pensions
Helen Nicolay IN The Country Magizine.
Even in the sedate days our
tribute to pullc men was apt to
be paid in somewhat free and
easy fashion. Washington is the
only one in our national panth.
con to whom docoruos rever-
ence has always been made.
The admirers of Franklin who
knew his reputation abroad
were astonished when they came
to this country and made a pill
grimage to his tomb to find only
a plain white slab in IAN obscure
corner of an obscure burying
ground" Not even path led
to it. But they might have found
food for thought in the fact thai
the tall grass about it was press
ed down by the tread of many
feet and there was no need of a
guide to show them the way.
The roads leading to the
homes of our early Virginia
presidents were filled with adj
mirers who arrived, according
to the custom of the
South, by coach and chariot,
bringing their horses and their
servants and staying sometimes
for days to cumber the stables
and empty the larder. WASH

leans of his generation, escaped

to die within three years of lay.
ing down the presidency. The
others all suffered. jefferson
paid the penalty of fame by be-
ing literally eaten out of house
and nome and his blOGrapher'S
idyllic statement that mo hard
work was done at Monticello"
scarcely tallies with the asser-
ton of his daughter that she and
her household servants were
sometimes called upon to pro-
vide beds for so people. Mon
roe said of his visitors that some
were bounties and some were
taxes" On the whole he thought
that there were enough of the
former TO offset the latter, but,
in his opinion, pensions for form
er presidents were a necessity,
since under our republican plan
they could not shut their doors
and refuse hospitality to this SEN
timental horde without dlscredit
to the country.

Mr.. Jeff Pope, who was riding
horseback from Monroe Satur-
