CHINESE OFFER PROBLEM TO OUR
 MEXICAN ARMY

Field Headquarters in Mexico, July 12, by motor truck to Columbus, N. M., July 16-What to do with the 300 Chinese who have associated them selves with the punitive expedition has developed into a serious problem with the army since the strengthening of the American line in Mexico recently revealed the large number enjoying present security under the protec- tion of the American flag.
 These Chinese f1ocked to the Ameri- can lines to make money but the Mex jeans refused to sell them anything to eat. Doughnuts, pies. candy, to- bacco, matches and fruit, which com- prised about all the luxuries known to the men during this campaign in a poverty-strfcken country. were fur nished by Chinese and by them only.
 Like the Mexicans who were threat ened for having dealings with the army, these Chinese lay themselves open to reprisals after departure of the troops. Consequently they have followed the army northward to the border. Charlie Tien, leader of the Chinese here, who claims American citizenship, today said that he would not care to remain in Mexico if the troops withdraw. He said his coun- trymen now with the expedition, but who are barred from entering the United States, will go with the army to the border, stopping on the Mexi- can side. from where, he said, they expect to be able to flee across the line for temporary refuge in case they are threatened.
 Chinese here, when asked whether they carried firearms for self de- fense, shook their heads. "Carran- zistas," they said, have played. great jokes on the China boys who have guns. We hear these China boys have had to enlist in the Carranza army"

SCOUTS ENTERTAIN BRIDGEPORTERS AT
 STILL RIVER CAMP
Hammers and Saws Used to Good Effect for New Floor
 ing ef Dining Room.

Still River Camp, Boy Scouts or America, July 17-A half dozen fing- CTS that got in the way of the ham, n1er and two or three scratches from misplaced boards have told one side of the story of the camp life while the Boy Scouts encamped here were lay ing the floor for the big dining. tent. The first aid kit has come into its own during this time and all are enjoying life and able to do justice to the ex- cellent meals provided by cook Young. Saturday saw the raising of the dining tent on the level with the kitchen floor, and forming with the fireplace an ideal spot for eating and lounging on stormy nights. Saturday night Director Cortright arranged for house warming, to properly celebrate the completion of the undertaking.
 The floors were cleared and ire built in the stone fireplace, and to the strains of the new photograph, whlch had just been received as the gift of the American Graphophone Co.,, the party opened. Soon the floor was oc- cupied by dangers. The Paul Jones was quite the favorite.
 During the next event, however there were no sidelines, for from the kitchen came the ice cream and cake. to which all did ample justice. Following this there was singing and stunts with all seated in a semi-c1rcle and the firelight for inspiration. The party broke up at 10 o'clock with the return of guests to the various camps.
 The party, included Clifford Apple ton, Edward Bergman, Erhard Hede- gard, Robert Hull, Chauncey Jepson, Howard Larson, Frank Marsh. Harry Thornbury, Morris Marble, B. B. Cort- right, John Sorg and other scouts, while the guests present were Mrs. E. E. Cortright and daughters Enid. Ber- nice and Estelle, MT. and Mrs. Lee Young and Lee Young. Jr.. iAlber; Buckingham, William Triton, Miss Hazel Dickson, and Clifford Paul son. .
 The work of the camp has been hin dered by the failure of the tents or dered in April to be delivered. The Mexican situation has entered into this failure and all have to possess them selves in patience.
 The visitors to- camp during the week have included the following Bridgeporters: Mrs. Morris Marble, Rev. and Mrs. William Jepson. Mrs. Henry Jepson and Miss Margaret Jep- son, William Triton, Clifford Paulson, Albert Bergman. Arnold Bergman. Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Thornbury, MT. and Mrs. Clifford Marsh.
