But Hildegarde continued inexora-

feels the greater need. If that be the
man, and the woman on whom he
leans is gentle and kindly and a great
idealist, she sacrifices everything for
his happiness. But If the woman feels
the greater need, the man must fail
her unless he be at once both gentle
and strong.
But Hildegarde now had grown cold
Her ideals had failed her. There re-

Hildegarde had now nothing to offer.
If her own life had been based on lies,
there were still basic truths of justice
and kindness for which to fight. So
she continued still judicial where en-

"And then like to think the factory

Reproachfully and helplessly Law

was unconsciously; and now coldly
and wilfully she was condemning him
to unceasing pain.

How cruel you are! What do

MOBILIZATION GOES ON
ALONG MEXICAN BORDER
No Immediate Alteration of Wal
Department Plans Along That
Line Is Expected.

The mobilization Of the National
Guard for service along the Mexican
border continued today at full speed. 1t
is certain there will be no immediate
alteration in the War Department plans
regarding this border patrol. Prob
ably a reduction of the border forces
would be ordered only after some CO.
operative plan of action had been
agreed upon with the Mexican govern
ment and had been tried out sufficient
ly to leave no doubt as to its practical
bility. In other words. a demonstration
of the ability of the Carranza forces to
carry out their part Of the bargain
would be required.
Officials believe that the call for the
National Guard and the actual dispatch
of the troops to the border was the i'm
polling influences which induced Gen.
CarranZa to abandon the hostile atti-
tude taken in his previous notes. They
say the United States holds strong ar
gument in favor of peaceful solution OF
border difficulties as long as 1t main
tains an army near the line, and there
seems little probability that it will be
withdrawn until all danger has passed.
Unquestionably, if no new bandit
outbreaks occur. the National Guards
men will be gradually sent back to
their homes. 1t originally was planned
that only part of the force be used on
the border, the remainder being sent
later to relieve regiments which had
put in the required time at active serv-
ice. 1t is possible that scheme will be
followed later.

TROOPS ARE PREPARING
FOR THE RAINY SEASON
Buildings Are Being Put Up and
Wagon Road to American Bor-
der Constructed.

COLUMBUS, N. NJ, July 6.-Gen. ]. ].
Pershing, commanding the American
expedition in Mexico, has issued orders
that every effort be made to expedite
the construction of the new wagon
road between Columbus and the field
base at Colonia Dublan, according to
reports from the field today. That
delays in transportation over the
American lines of communication may
be at a minimum during the rainy
season he has ordered that extra
laborers be put to work and additional
machinery employed. New graders and
wagons are being rushed to the con-
struction camps and military authori-
ties here expect that the road will
be ready for motor truck travel in
thirty days.
Military authorities are keeping
secret the exact route of the road, but
it is known it leads south through
Palomas, Ascension and thence to
Dublan.
Reports from the field also indicated
that much construction work Is under
way in the field headquarters camp.
Numbers of buildings are being erected
to house food and forage. which has
been piled in the open, in the rainy
season, and corrals are under con-
struction in which the horses can be
stabbed and the cattle purchased for
food purposes held.

Hickam, were on a scouting patrol in
search of bandits believed to have had
their rendezvous in a zinc mine about
thirty miles from the American base
Not finding any bandits, they started
back and had turned into the main
road, the entrance to a canyon, when
three Mexicans, half a mile to the
south, opened fire. Immediately the
troopers replied and the Mexicans dis
appeared over the top of a ridge Lieut.
Hickam did not follow. realizing that
the terrain in that direction formed a
natural trap and that the territory to
the south was not under patrol. The
Americans urned north, trotting onto
the canyon. AS they went down the
hill trooper galloped up from the
rear, reporting that about 300 armed,
mounted Mexicans had dashed over the
ridge. where the three Mexicans fed
and were pursuing the Americans

at gallop and the American horses,
wearied by the long march they al
ready had made. steadily lost ground to
the pursuing column. To rest their
mounts the Americans from time to
time dismounted and ran, leading the
animals. Still they lost ground.
" When the CarranZa force seemed about
to overtake his men Lieut.. Hickam led
them Off the road into a rock walled
depression about ten feet deep. where
huge oak hid them from view. With
in 900 yards the Mexicans rode past
without discovering the hidden Amer
leans. Then the latter at a leisurely
pace followed their late pursuers until
the hill was reached. Here they drew
up along the crest Of the canyon with
deep ravines protecting each flank. At
this point they had chance, in case of
attack. to get their horses safely up
and over the mountain ridge over
looking the canyon. which ran upward
from the American rear. But when the
CarranZa men came back down the
canyon road they passed the foot Of
the hill without a hostile move of any
sort against the Americans, whom they
could see plainly a few hundred yards
above.
The cavalrymen found that word of
their proximity had been taken to the
Carranza forces by the Mexican care
taker of the mine, who was equipped
with an excellent pair of field glasses.
He said that he had been accustomed
to retire to the bottom of the mine

DESERVING GUAROSMAN
CAUGHT ACROSS BORDER

DOUGLAS. Ariz.. July 6.-United
States soldiers of the border patrol
here crossed into Mexican territory
late yesterday. but returned to the
Arizona side II few minutes. The
soldiers crossed Fthe line in pursuit of
Private Edward Stone. a deserter from
the Arizona National Guard.
Stone escaped from the guardhouse
of the Arizona militia camp. a short
distance north of the boundary. He
was arrested a few days ago on a
charge of desertion.
The private ran toward Aqua Prieta,
the Mexican town opposite here, a
number of soldiers in pursuit AS he
crossed the international line soldiers
on patrol Joined the chase. A num-
Der of shots were fired at Stone, who
was captured after he had penetrated
approximately 500 yards into Sonora.
The incident created some excitement
on both sides of the line for several
minutes Stone was returned to the
guardhouse.

VERY FEW GUARDSMEN
AT BORDER ON SICK LIST

EAGLE PASS, Tex, July 6.-Less
than l per cent Of the American troops
concentrated at Eagle Pass are on sick
report. according to reports to Gen.
Greene. Especial care has been taken
in sanitary arrangements Of the camps
and plans now are under way for the
erection of base hospital, capable of
caring for all the men stationed on this
section of the border.
The three National Guard regiments
from Vermont, Kansas and Maryland
now here have passed the necessary
physical examination and most of them
have been given the first typhoid pre-
vention treatment. The prophylactic
typhoid treatment will be completed
here, and those not vaccinated against
smallpox will undergo this precaution
Immediately.

| In readiness for action.
Orderly lines marked the camp of the
pack and wagon trains. Picket line
after picket line of trained and tough
ened mules was there. each the length
of about one city block. The drivers
were giving the animals the most care
full attention, for they realized that
frequently upon the training and mus
Gle of such mules may depend the lives
of soldiers in campaigns, especially as
here in Mexico where supplies have
been outrun by the fighting columns.
A pair of socks and shirt hanging
on the wire fence which inclosed the
camp of the Signal Corps perhaps
formed only a discordant note. For
from the principal of view of prepared
ness. the size of this soldiers wash in
dictated luxury. 1t meant the owner had
an extra shirt which he was wearing.
1t meant he was carrying excess weight
in contrast to others of the soldiers,
who have carried no extra clothing for
weeks. In this camp washing and bath
ing have been done simultaneously, the
hot sun and winds drying the clothing
by the time the bather is ready to
dress.
