He Asked For "Troops."
From the Chicago Heralt

SAAS AAt>No
General Funston has asked the war de-
partment for more troops for use in con-
nection with the pursuit Of Villa and his
gang. The war department has granted
his request.
1t is worth noting that General Funston
asked for troops. He didn't ask for
Hay men. He didn't ask for raw re-
cruits. He didn't ask for legislation. He
didn't ask for a campaign to secure vol
unteers. He didn't ask for statistics.
He asked for troops, because he has
something important to do, and the only
thing to do it with effectively is troops.
He asked for troops because a situation
has arisen which requires prompt and de-
cisive action. He asked for troops be-
cause purely statistical military resources
aren't sufficient to catch a single Mexican
lurking in the mesquite-to say nothing OF
a band of them.

fnitely larger han the comparatively
| small one presented by Villa and his gang
when the nation has for an enemy some
| thing more formidable than even "a we'll

! there is sure to come-just this same call
for troops which Funston sent to Wash

FLOCA'S CAFE is MADE
FAMOUS BY GREAT WAR

Saloniki-Floca's has become the So
cial focus Of the entente armies in the
Balkans. Some such rendezvous comes
to be associated with almost every ex-
peditionary war. The bar of
Shepherds hotel in Carlo was the
place through which everyone passed
sooner or later in the time of the Su-
dan campaigns; the Rand club at Jo-
hannesburg fulfilled a similar function
in South Africa. Here the same un-
expected greatness has been thrust up
on Floca's, SO that it's name will al

many others here is making a small

cherished allied institutions-the Eng
lishman's afternoon tea and the
rench ans afternoon aperitif or APP
petizer. From 4 o'clock in the after
noon until s o'clock, Floca's is more
densely populated than any spot in Sa-
loniki. 1t is filled with officers of the
allied armies-base officers, camp Of
ficers, embarkation officers, staff Off
GERS, flying officers, French, British
Serbian, Greek-such a varied collec-
ton of officers Of every rank and corps
