WAIT DETAILS OF
BOYD'S LAST RIDE
Guardsmen Well Remember
Slain Commander of H"
Troop

Cavalry officers of the National
Guard awaited to-day with keen inter-
est the confirmation OF the report that
Captain Charles T. Boyd, commander
of Troop "H" of the Tenth Cavalry,
had been killed in the battle of Car
rizal.
Captain Boyds pleasing personality
and his splendid ability as an officer
while assigned as the war depart
ments cavalry observer and instructor
at Mt. Gretna three years ago won
him scores of friends. Lleutenant-
Colonel f. NJ. Oft, Captain Charles P.
Neck. former commander and adju-
tant respectively of the Second squad
ron of the Guards cavalry regiment,
Captain George c. Jack, commander
OF the Governors Troop and Lieuten-
ants E. A. Nicodemus and George w.
II. Roberts, were especially anxious to
learn definitely of the regular army
officers fate as they had all been very
close friends at Gretna.
Unofficial reports from Mexico were
to the effect that Captain Boyd who
commanded II" troop of the Tenth
on its last ride had been killed while
battling with overwhelming odds
Captain Boyd paid the Governors
Troop particularly pleasing compli-
ment few years ago, in his report to
the war department on the way the
men cared for their horses" said Can
tain Neck to-day. The men of this,
the Governors Troop, treat their
horses with especial kindness without
impairing the efficiency of the
mounts was the glst Of Captain
Boyd's report"
Another officer, mentioned promi-
nently IN the newspaper dispatches,
too, was Captain Lewis S. Morey. who
is also well known among Guard off1-
GERS. He represented the war depart
ment both at Gettysburg and Mt.
Gretna six or seven years ago.

CITY'S WOMEN
TODO THEIR BIT
Girls Who Want to Offer Ser
vices Can Send Names to
Mrs. C. E. Ryder

Harrisburg women will hasten to
offer their services to the flag just as
soon as the need arises, and already
many are preparing to do their bit"
at the first call of the country.
Mrs. Charles E. Ryder, chairman of
the local chapter of the Pennsylvania
Women's Division for National Pre-
paredness, issued a call for volunteers
this morning. Names may be sent
either to Mrs. Ryder or to Mrs. James
B. Mersereau, 1904 North Second
street.
Women and girls are needed to ac-
complish the huge task that has been
assumed by this organization, which
will divide it's work into eight lines.
One branch will be in charge of
Mrs. George S. Reinoehl and will en-
deavor to look after families of SOL
diers who are at the front; another is
in charge of Miss Mary Miller, of the
Visiting Nurse association, and a
third will be in charge of Mrs. C. P.
Turner and will make ana store surgi-
cal supplies.
Should the war make such work
necessary a fourth division will be or
ganized to care for the blinded or
crippled soldiers who are sent back
from the field. A fifth division with
automobiles will volunteer for messen-
ger service. This class will be given
drills in the care, operation and repair
of autom obiles and other machines.
....Ir r.
in the Red Cross branch and will re-
ceive their training in the hospitals
and will learn cooking, first aid and
similar work. Another squad will CO.
operate with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Preparedness Organization In
collecting and distributing food sup
plies, while the eighth division will
engage in general work such as pre-
pairing kits, sewing and clerical work.
DR.. George B. Kunkel declared to-
day that 1t would be only in a case of
an extreme crisis that the corps of
Harrisburg girls organized and led by
Mrs. E. Riley, as an emergency first
aid corps would see actual service.
DR.. Kunkel will give five lectures in
a series of fifteen to be delivered be-
fore the girls.
DIR. Kunkel said that girls who have
had but a few months training could
not hope to render the service of Red
Cross Nurses who have been for two
or three years closely identified with
such work.
The work that may fall to the lot OF
the local classes under DIR. Kunkel will
not take them from this city, and the
only chance for active service that
they will have will be to treat men
from the Harrisburg military organi-
injured at the front and sent

Those members of the classes who
at the end of the course pass the ex-
aminations and receive their certifi-
Gates will be qualified to assist in any
emergency of a local nature

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ALL IMPORTANT POSITIONS
ALONG MEXICAN BORDER

and Huerta and other former minor
factional leaders. seemingly were in
good favor with the Mexican military
authorities.
1t was said that General Caraveo
will leave tonight for Chihuahua City
where General Jacinto Trevino will
assign him to a command in the army
of the north.
General Gonzales declined to dis
cuss these reports other than 10 say
that "any Mexican, not an outlaw, is
welcome to his motherland to-day"
Say L. :. Aggressor
Further indications that the Mex
ican people are being told that the
United States is the aggressor in the
present crisis and that Mexico has the
moral support of all foreign nations
were contained to-day in the follow
ing dispatches to the local consulate
from the official information bureau in
Mexico City:
Gable messages from Buenos Aires
say that newspapers of that city are
emphatic in their disapproval of any
possible Intervention by the United
States in the affairs of Mexico"
Overnight reports from along the
border were more or less routine in
character. indicating that in the AM
erican towns the people were pas
sively awaiting developments. An in
creasins activity of both troops and
civil populations in the Mexican towns
was indicated, however. Some inter-
est was manifested in orders issued
by the de facto consular officers in
structing Mexicans in their districts to
return to Mexico at once.
From several of the larger border
ports to-day came reports that an
embargo is to be placed on the ex-
port of foodstuffs in large quantities.
This follows the recent expectation to
Mexican towns of large consignments
of -four beans and other military sup
plies and reports from secret service
agents that most of the shipments
were billed to the interior. 1t was as
serted that the embargo is not to af-
feet small shipments. Customs off,
cials here declined TO discuss the re-
pCrts.

enlisted men will receive, while in the
active service of the armed forces of
the United States, the sum of SIS per
month, and even though this entire
sum were paid to the wife of the SOL
der it would be entirely inadequate to
enable her to provide for herself and
children. A woman with small chill
dren cannot leave them and go to
work in order to secure a livelihood,
and the consequence is that If the
father responds OF the call, she and
her children will inevitably become
the objects of charity during the alb
sence of the soldier at the front.
Uncle Sans Duty
1T is unquestionably the duty of
this government, Immensely wealthy
as ii is. boasting of its billions upon
the wives and minor children of the
men who are willing and anxious to
defend and protect its honor.
Congressman Kreider has intro
duced a bill in the House which should
speedily be enacted into law. This bill
provides that every married man en-
gagged in the active service of the
armed forces of the United States shall
receive the sum of $3.50 per day, 81 OF
which is to be paid to the wife. and it
further provides that an additional
sum of % cents per day shall also be
paid to her for each and every minor
child under the age of 16 years de-
pendent upon the soldier for support.
THE provisions of this bill are GER
tainly most moderate. but If it is
passed promptly it will enable the men
who are now members of the national
guard to go TO the front with their
respective commands with the assur-
ance at least that their loved ones will
be able to secure the necessaries of
life and not become objects of charity
while they are at the front"

important border point to-day. Field
artillery has been mounted on hillocks

Of their guns pointing in a southerly
direction, while in the smaller towns,
machine gun detachments have been
stationed.

that every preparation had been made
for possible hostilities.

that it was an unprovoked attack
upon the Americans and then lapsed
into expectant waiting.
When the dispatches were read to
General George Bell, Jr., commanding
the El Paso military district, over the
telephone early to-day he expressed
keen qualification but said he had re-
ceived no additional orders from de-
partmental headquarters.
Il knew it." he exclaimed. Il knew
our men did not start that fight"
Fear For Prisoners
Grave apprehension was manifested
rere for the safety of the II American
prisoners taken in the engagement
who are held by General Trevino
probably in Chihuahua City. 1t was
pointed out that should hostilities re-
suit the MeXicans probably will at
tempt to carry out threats made by
subordinate leaders to hang the
capiVes.
With the receipt of General PERISH
ings first report, military authorities
here felt confident that supplemental
reports would be received giving ad-
ditional details of the fight and news
Of the two squadrons of the Eleventh
cavalry who were sent to reinforce
the troops of the Tenth.

Congressman Points Out Fail
ure of Government to Aid
Soldiers Families

Uncle Sam will be better able to
make more adequate provision for the
wives and children of the men who
serve the flag in the army, navy or
national guard If a bill offered to-day
in Congress by Aaron S. Kreider, Leb-
anon, one of Pennsylvania repre-
sentatives in Congress. becomes a law.
The bill. which is to become effective
Immediately upon its passage, allows
$3.50 per day for all men in active
service. 81 Of which shall be paid to
the wife. and that an additional 25
cents per day shall be paid to the wife
for each minor child dependent upon
the absent father.
The bill provides that amy married
man having enlisted and being in the
active service of the regular army of
the United States or any subdivision
til hereof. or in the active service of the
navy of the United States or any sub
division thereof, or in the active serv-
ice of such other land or naval forces
OF the United States as are now, or
may hereafter he, authorized by law,
shall receive while in such active serv-
ice of the forces of the United States
not less than $50 per day, together
with such other allowances as are now
provided by law: Provided, that not
less than 81 per day of this amount
shall be paid to the wife of such mar
ried person; provided further, that a
further and additional sum of 25 cents
per day shall be paid to the wife of
such married person for each and
every minor child under the age of 16
years dependent upon such married
Person for support.
Kreider Points Out Need
In discussing the bill to-day Con-
eressman Kreider said:
The sudden call by President Will
son on Monday for the mobilization of
the national guard has brought to
light the failure of this government to
provide for the wives and children
whose support is taken from them If
the members of the national guard
respond TO the call.
''It is we'll known that many of those
cnlisting in the national guard were
young, unmarried men at the time of
their enlistment. These men, enlisting
as they did in times of peace, have
been members of the national guard
for number of years, and have,
through the training thus received, be-
come quite efficient in military tactics
and practice, and If they are mustered
into the regular army will constitute
larger and perhaps almost as efficient
force as the regular army itself.
Many OF these men since their en-
Iistment have married and are now
the heads of families who are de-
pendent upon them for support. Al
the request of the President they are
now called on TO defend their country
and their flag. They are requested to
leave their homes and their families
for an indefinite period, but in order
to do so they must leave their wives
and children without sufficient means
to secure the neCessaries of life.
Under the present law the private
