CAVALRY VALUE
NOT DECREASED
BY AER0PLANES
ARMY OFFICERS LOUD IN THEIR
PRAISE OF THE TRAINED
v. g.. HoRsEMEN.

Field Headquarters, May 11.-By
motor truck to Columbus, N. M, May
19.-One phase of the Villa chase not
ed by army officers has been that the
value of cavalry for scouting and all
around fighting has not at all de-
creased.
Notwithstanding the use Of aero
planes for scouting, the cavalry recon-
noissance lost none OF Its military
value. Four sets of conditions de-
veloped, under which the aeroplanes
could not scout--in fog, darkness, in
rain and in cloudy weather. The cav
airy did it's most efficient scouting in
darkness, or under cover OF rain
clouds. Every important fight with
bandits was accomplished under cover
Of night, which made surprise attacks
possible.
Few persons, even those with the
expedition, realized that the remark
able work of the auto trucks in main
tanning the supply line was done
largely as an auxiliary for cavalry op-
erations The daily ration for one
soldier averages two pounds, whereas,
the daily ration for horse is eleven
pounds. so that the trucks were carry
Ing a heavy proportion of their loads
for the cavalry horses.
For several weeks most of the cav
airy campaigned without truck rations
either for man or horse, but this work
brought out another distinctive value
of thoroughly trained cavalry. This
was the cavalryman's individual skill
as a horseman, which enabled the men
to keep their mounts alive and service
able, not only on scanty fodder but on
no feed at all.
In all their battles, the cavalrymen
fought as infantry, that is dismounted,
and with rifles or pistols, The differ
ence between them and mounted In
fantry lay in the years Of careful train
ing which enabled them to keep the
horses going under conditions 50 try
ing that probably nine-tenths Of the
animals would have perished under
the handling Of. anyone except an ex-
pert horseman. 80 a..

TUBERCULOSIS IS
COLLECTING TOLL

Stockholm, May 19-Evidence Of the
heavy toll that tuberculosis Is exacting
in the world war is found In the ex-
change of disabled prisoners which is
being conducted through Sweden by
Russia and Austria. One train from
the Russian camps had eighty cases OF
consumption among the 230 Austrian
prisoners on board. Three Of the vic.
Tins died while the train was passing
through this country.
On another train from Russia there
were thirty, Austrians who had been
rendered insane by their sufferings.
Three trains are now running weekly
in each direction exchanging prisoners
who from disease, loss of limbs or men
tai breakdown are unfit for further
military service.

Columbus, N. M, May 19.-Ninety
Villista prisoners, captured by Ameri-
can cavalrymen in the engagement at
Ojo Azules, Chihuahua, late In April
have been released, according to civil
fans returning to the border today.

information concerning the movements
of the various scattered bands and
then released, it was said. At mill
tary headquarters the reports concern
ing the release were received with
prisoners have been captured during
the campaign and six of them have
been imprisoned in the stockade built
here.
A number of American soldiers en-
camped between Colonia Dublan and
Namiquipa recently became ill after
eating food purchased from Mexicans
and as result several Of the natives
were taken into custody, the arrivals
said. Military authorities have taken
steps to prevent repetition of the

Heavy traffic over the motor truck
trail from Columbus to Namiquipa has
made it almost impossible, truckmen
said. In some places the road, despite
efforts of the engineering corps, has
become so rutted as to make impossi-

fer resistance. ground Is still being
wrested from Gen. Gadorna's forces.
which, according to unofficial reports,
have at points been pushed back as
much as five miles.
The main line of attack is in the
southern Tyrol, where the recent near
approach of the Italians to Rovereto
had threatened that place, key posi-
tion in the defense Of Trent. The latest
report from Vienna shows continued

Maggie ridge and working into it
alien territory as far as Costabella.

Counter attacks by the Italians have

claims the capture of more than 900
additional prisoners, together with
eighteen cannon and machine guns.
The Austrian losses are declared to
have been small.

If you have been careful to use
pure cream of vegetable oils.
These coarse hairs come with the
advancing years and they can be

You can also have this done by

Your eyebrows should be
