ASSOCIATED PRESS MAN
LIKES NEW IEX. TROOPS

FL Paso. Dec. 25.-T'iat the officers
and men of the First New Mexico in
fantry are among the est Of the Ma
tional guardsmen now on the border
and that they are fas reaching the
efficiency standards OF the regular
army, is the opinion of Phil McLaugh-
lin, representative Of he Associated
Press at Columbus. who is in FL Paso
for Il few days.
IL have observed the ,jew Mexico in
fantry," said Mr.. McIauglin last night
"and | have seen it steadily improve
from day to day and from month to
month, until today | clieve the Or
gani2ation is one of the most efficient
units on the border. Regular army Of
Iicers with whom | hay G talked share
this opinion and many of them do not
hesitate to dearc the \ ew Mexico in
! fantrymen the equal of similar
number OF regular troops.
THE New Mexico rct iment was the
first to respond to Pre- dent Wilson's
call. One company, that from Dem
ing, did not wait for tie call, but ar
rived at Columbus six hours after the
VIVA Iulu upon lilit lc"n.
"When the New Mexico regiment
first reached the border, newspaper
correspondents and others criticised
the showing made by the guardsmen.
and this criticism was later, in meas
ure at least, justified by the fact that
the physical examinations made by
the regular army surgeons resulted in
fully 10 per cent of the soldiers being
rejected for physical disability.
"Since that time, however, the reg
iment has steadily improved Colonel
L. G. Abbott, in command, Major b.
Ruppe and other officer have worked
increasingly to recruit and bring the
regiment up to n high andard and to
uphold the honor of their state. That
they have succeeded IN their task is
the unanimous opinion of the regular
army officers on duty at Columbus.
Recently the New Mexico regiment
has been attached to tie punitive eX-
petition, being the only national guard
regiment directly under command of
Major General PershnC and it is now
doing n considerable share of the out
POST duty and guard duty about the
base of communication.
"Another honor which has fallen to
the lot of the New Mex cans is the Sc
lection of several of their officers to
command truck train running be-
tween Columbus and th, headquarters
of the punitive expedition in Mexico,
Captain Arthur Brock and Lieuten-
ant Frant Ncwkrk being recently as
signed to this responsible work.
"The New Mexican regiment, like
the various units of the national guard
is made up of men from all walks of
life. Included in its ranks are farm
ers, bankers, clerks, merchants, me-
chanics, cattlemen. mirers and not a
few cowboys. Inciden ally, it is the
only regiment on the border that now
boasts of men Of Sp' nish-American
origin, and though there is consider
ably healthy rivalry between these
and what might be cal ed the regular
Americans, it is n rival y for efficiency
and works well in bringing out the
hest there is in both classes of SOL
diers.
altogether Colonel Abbott has reu-
son to be proud Of hi' men and the
state of New Mexico is to be congrat-
ulated upon raising one of the best
guard regiments now in the service
of Uncle Sam"
