The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-06-24

With the cheers Of patriotic
thousands ringing in their
ears; with the sobs and good
byes Of each particular moth
er, wife or sweetheart gripping
their hearts, Company L, First
Infantry, I. N. G., left Keokuk
this morning at z o'clock for
Camp Dodge. What may be in
the future for the boys who so
gaily marched down the street
this morning, and with smiles
and a cheer boarded the train,
no one knows. Whether they
60 or whether they are not
needed, they showed them
selves ready, and Keokuk as
in 1861 and again in 1898,
turned out to bid them good
bye and Godspeed. The crowd
at the station was packed in
SO tightly that it was almost
impossible to move. They
had to be pushed back on both
sides as the troops marched
down Main street. Everyone
who could, grasped the hand
Of some friend or acquaintance
as he walked up the platform
to the coaches waiting to carry
the soldiers to Des Moines.
Those who couldn't get near
enough to touch hands, cheered
and called goodbyes and all
sorts of good advice such as
not Ito let the greasers get
them, and to be sure and bring
back a flag. Then just before
the train moved, the Elks, U.
G. rs and others carrying
flags stepped to the side of the
train, and Company LIS spe
cial moved out between the
wall of American flags, the
crowd shouting itself hoarse.

were under explicit orders from Gen.
eral Pershing to confne their opera
lions exclusively to scouting. They
Were specifically commanded to en-
gage in no fight or to make no move
which threatened to precipitate a
fighN unless actually attacked. If
Boyi was commanded to stop, or was
refused permission to proceed, by
General Gomez and advanced regard
less, he violated his orders and there
will be no declaration of war because
of the Carrizal incident. If reports
made so far by the escaped colorei
troopers of Tenth cavalry that Cap
tain Boyd had stopped his march at
the command of Gomez and that tho
Mexicans fired on the troopers after
they had halted are confirmed by an
officer, President Wilson's threat Of

WASHINGTON. June 24.-The
question of an armed invasion Of Mex
leo hangs today upon the nature OF
the first report of any commissioned
officer who participated in the Car
RIAL fight, if any are alive.
Following a conference with Presi-
dent Wilson, lasting one hour, Secre-
tary OF War Baker at IL o'clock said:

word from General Pershing before
we can determine oIr course of &C

aside from that coming from Mexican
sources, is the report Of few stray

Pursued on the Desert.
Ell PASO, Texas, June 24.-The
fate of sixty men, reported to have
escaped from the scene Of the Car
ranzista ambush at Carrizal, was still
unknown here early today. Whether
they were pursued by the Mexican
cavalry and cut down on the desert
or persisted from lack of water was
unascertainable.
Army officers and state department
agents here, believing that the two
troops of the Tenth cavalry were v1r-
tually wiped out, declared today that
war probably could not be avoided.
The absence Of word from the relief
column of the Eleventh cavalry in
creased fears that they also may have
been engaged by the Carranzistas, or
were combing the hilly, barren coun-
try around Carrizal for survivors Of

to follow open hostilities.
Captain Lewis Morey and two lieI-

to have been among the escaped

STRANGELY, and the members Of

windows and cheered.
Whatever new tangled ap-
pliances modern warfare has
employed, the saying Of good
byes is not changed one bit.
There was the crowd on both
sides of Main street all the
way to Water street. Automo-
biles were parked along the
east side Of this street and
vantage points such as freight
cars and telephone poles were
eagerly snapped up. Along
the sidewalk in little groups,
their eyes red from weeping,
stood mothers, sisters, wives
and sweethearts Of the boys in
khaki who were whisting
and smiling as they marched
down the street in heavy
marching order. And at the
train the scenes of 81 and '93
were gone over again. A moth
er rushed out from the crowd
for a last goodbye, and a
trooper stepped off the coach
to gather his sweetheart into
his arms for a farewell kiss and
a murmured word Of endear-
ment. And the crowd was
momentarily gripped with the
pathos of it all, but it's pa
triotism rose above it's pathos,
and cheers broke out again.
Not all OF the mothers or wives
were at the depot, either, to see the
boys depart. Some there were who'

parade down Main street. and silent
tears coursed down their faces. others

THE PAD OF BUNGALOWS.

BungalOws started i'm India 1t is a
species of villa among the wealthy class
es Of that country. 1t is very needful in
the hot climates to have shade about
the dwellings and sleeping places so the
roofs of the bungalows extend on all
sides to form piazzas or verandas. to
give this necessary shade. The govern
ment in India provides public bungalows
for the travelling public, also military
bungalows for the use of the officers OF
the army.
These public bungalows are of vast
importance TO the travelling public in
that country. as they are left open to
travellers and have both rooms and cool
Jars of water provided. Tourists are ex-
pected TO carry along their servants, bed
ding, food, etc, and the government
charges two shillings per day for the
use of the house. 1 have been told that
a book is kept where travellers enter
their names, the time of arrival and
departure and amount paid. also remarks
as to the bungalow itself. its condition
and needs.
It is said that the natives do not use
these bungalows as a rule and Europeans
are glad to find them in their travels.
These little inns, for that is what they
are, are stationed from ten to fifteen
miles apart. perhaps a comfortable jour
ney when the heat is intense and people
may only safely travel during morning
and evening hours. Whenever railways
are built in such countries the bunga-
low inns give way to taverns or hotels.

window or offer some courtesy which
affords him an excuse for "butting in"
(to put it in his parlance) and having
done this he is not long in gaining her
confidence to the extent of telling him
she's decided to go to town to earn her
living.

country, that she's not happy at home,
that her family misunderstood her, that

THE AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL CUES

There are twelve Of these agricultural
schools in Georgia There were large
appropriations made 10 start them in
buildings and equipment, etc At the
present time tand for a number OF years
pastl. the state has been giving TO each
OF these schools $4,000 per annum.
let the attendance be many or few the
amount is the same and this is given
no matter how deeply in debt the state
may be. Money is borrowed abroad TO
give this large sum $4,000 TO these
twelve Agricultural schools in addition
10 the large amount donated to the
common school system. in addition 10
the local taxation for nigh schools in
the counties and in addition 10 the reg
uIar amounts given annually 10 the uni
versity and similar institutions OF learn
ing. I know but little OF the workings
OF these agricultural schools but 1
know that the locations in some OF the
congressional districts are detrimental
in various ways. II you will look on
the map of Georgia and the counties
composing the Seventh district Il men
tion this district because I am familiar
and much interested IN this cOAAeclAOh
Of countiesl. The district agricultural
school for the Seventh district is near
the county lines separating Fulton and
Cobb. Il is in the southwest corner
and remote from three-fOurths of all
the other counties. Fulton county is in
the Fifth district and the children or
that part of the Fifth district are in
touch while Dade, CatOosa. Whitfield,
Murray and ., aIxer are at least nun
bred miles distant or the twelve coun-
ties in the Seventh district, eleven are
remote and the consequence is the agrl-
cultural school in the lower edge or
Cobb county IS obliged 20 be local
school. while the other eleven counties
are doing without such other BENEFITS
as were promised. Douglas county IS
nearer than any county in the Seventh
district except Cobb and yet that place
was selected. Heaven only knows why,
10 locate a school for counties and
farmers children that are hundreds or
miles distant and the $4,000 is or no
service except 10 a small corner in the
very outside county and on the very
outside edge Of Cobb itself.
