General Funston Sends Request for More
Troops and Orders Follow at Once
-ExpeditiOnary Force 10 Consist Of
10000 to $4,000 Men

Washington, March 11.-General Funston wired the
war department tonight request for four additional reg
ments of cavalry for patrol duty on the border
La response to General Fnstons request General
Scott ordered the First cavalry from Monterey Cal the
Eleventh from Ogethorp Ga and the Twelfth from Rob
nson Neb to leave at for the border If any forces
have crossed the border Funston has failed report to
the department. it was announced
The Fifth regiment at Fort Mver Va. will be sent if
Funston reports it essential said General Scott.
This regiment will be the last to leave. Although its
headquarters at Fort Myer the troops scattered
ia Chicago and LeaVenworth The three other regiments
are in readiness tonight, and will leave at once
General Funston directed the first aeropane squad to
proceed to Columbus H. Nj.
The delay in moving the border is due To the
mobilization for forces and supplies distance Of 800
miles along the border and presumably from distance
inland, it was said at the department.
Supplies well men, must be rushed to concentra-
tion points The problem Of providing sufficient water
for drive into the arid wastes below the border line is
extremely difficult The first fresh water below Golum
bus is lake miles distance the supply from which
is more or less spasmodc.
General Villa already has head start of 100 miles
at least. State department messages given the de-
partment located Villa at Ascension just 100 miles below
the border
Funstons request for the additional cavalry regiments
for patrol duty apparently he is the verge of
drive which will require guarding of the border after the
American forces start The request is significant
too by of the prospective administration plan to
grant Caanza the right to into the United States in
pursuit OF Villa wherever American soldiers avail
able but with the idea that patrols shall actually make
any such crossing unnecessary.
Secretary Baker denied there any shortage of am

Pueblo, Colo, March 29.-The visit OF
John McLennan, president of the State
Federation of Labor, was greatly en-
joyed by the Trades Assembly last
Wednesday evening. and the address
made on this occasion seemed to reach

brought closer together the members OF
organized labor.
The Trades Assembly will have super

receive a percentage of the receipts, and
no doubt will place a goodly sum in the

Denver Manufacturers Association has

bers of the visiting committee, the

some OF the questions asked, the manu-

same tactics will prevail and the same
men control that brought discredit to the
old Chamber of Commerce. There seemed
to be a disposition to let the new body
prove its new title clear before joining

stitution as explained, will consist Of an

Judge Lindsey Tells Assembly
About Trip With Peace Party

There seemed to be an abundance OF
all kinds of food except butter and
milk" said the speaker, "and the prices
charged in most instances were the same
as those prevailing before the war"
The party did not visit France, Aus
tria, Italy or Russia, nor any of the
Balkan states.
When Will The War End?
Since returning to America 1 have
frequently been asked how long this war
will last. In my opinion, the resources
of the nations involved will hold out for
another year, certainly not for more than
a wear and a half. l hope and expect it
will then terminate in a draw, for l do
not believe the allies will be able to
crush Germany. nor the Teutonic armies
to overpower England, France and Rus
sia. Then will come u period OF recon-
struction and reallignment of nations.
Crowns will topple from the heads OF rul-
ing monarchs and the aroused, awakened
people themselves will assume the reigns
of government. This war will mean the
end of capitalism in Europe, for every
nation will emerge from it a pauper ma.
ton. with a debt so stupendous as to rev.
olutionize all former plans of finance. II
will burden the people for Mt least CEN
tury to come.'
Awful Death Rate of Babies
Judge Lindsey told of the frightful
death rate among babies in Germany,
Poland, Austria and Russia. 'Some OF
these are practically babeless nations to-
day because of lack of proper nourish-
ment. They have been deprived of milk
by the British blockade, and the frail
lives soon flicker out. In Austria ana
Germany there are few living children
under three years of age, and in Poland
and Russia those under ten have died Oft
by the thousands. The United States
government, urged by conditions dis
closed by our party, is endeavoring to
have England lift the embargo upon food
stuffs. especially milk for the children
and babies, which may be shipped from
America to non -combatants This awful
slaughter of the innocents is the most
cruel feature of the war. and one that
cannot be excused upon any humane
grounds"
At the conclusion of his address. Judge
Lindsey was rendered a unanimous vote
OF thanks. Mrs. Lindsey accompanied
the Judge to the meeting as she did on
the notable journey to Europe. and was
one OF the interested auditors.

Shippers Would Profit.
The railroad companies, as well as
the public at large, would be benefited
by the change All trunk lines centering
in large terminals have so-called mani
fest freight, leaving these terminals each
night, hauling from l 900 to 1000 tons
of freight, which is called fast freight
service. These trains travel over di-
visions up to 40 to 240 miles on an
average OF an eight to eleven-hour basis
In many cases the so-called drag or dead
freight train, leaving the same terminal
probably three hours ahead of these
manifest or freight trains, are passed
on the road, and the fast freight goes
to its destination in eight or nine hours,
while the dead freight is often caught
by the federal sixteen hour law and has
to tie up for eight hours rest before get
ting into division or terminal points.
Long Hours Are Hardship.
III one train can be sent over di-
vision of say 40 or $50 miles in eight
hours, there is no just reason why the
same class engine, with another train,
should put in fourteen or sixteen hours
over the same course. Take, for instance.
crews on dead freight service, or what is
commonly called 'slop freight Out OF
twenty-four hours they are often four
teen hours on the road. They spend one
hour after they get in washing up and
looking after the engine, and then are
ready to go home to wife and family
tired and sleepy. After eight hours they
are given a two-hour call at the end of
fifteen-hour trip. These men spend one
and one-half hours with their families.
