Of the engagement had not been re-

American trOons, particularly the m

march into Mexico. according to sew
eral men Of the Sixth and 18th infantry
regiments. who have returned here for
one purpose or another
One of the causes of suffering is the
severe heat of the sand during the day
and the severe cold of the night. Some
officers of these two regiments dis
patched man back to El PasO yester-
day for lambs wool lined coats to

The returning soldiers assert that the
sun is only up a short time in the
morning until it has the sand burning
lot and their feet blister as result
of the constant march over the hot
ground. The sand also fills their shoes
and makes walking still more uncom-
Portable.
The early evenings are reported as
pleasant, but before midnight, II is
severely cold and the pair of blankets
carried by each man are far from

The horses of the cavalry have suf-

SAYS DARKNESS RESPONSIBLE
FOR MACHINE GUN FAILURES

Washington, D. c., March 21.-DarlS-
ness was responsible for the failure OF
two Of the four machine guns used by
the American troops in repelling the
raid Of Francisco Villa at Columbus
y. ", according to a report to the war
department by the officer in command
Of the machine gun section.
The report follows;
"The reason for the jamming OF the
machine guns during the fight last
Thursday was not the failure Of the
mechanism to function properly but
was due 10 the fact that the night was
dark and it was very difficult to load
the guns. In loading the guns the feed
strip has to be inserted in a narrow
slot or guide. II the strip is not in
serted properly in this guide, the gun
viii fire about five shots and will then
sam. This happened to two of my guns.
as it was so dark that il was almost
impossible to get the strips in the
slots. The other two guns did not jam
and the execution they did showed the
value of machine gun fire. The ammu-
milton was not reloaded and had been
manufactured since 1910. The extract
ors are all model 1914"
