purpose was to destroy American lives

insistent demand that military protec-

and closer to the border. He was not
intercepted nor were HIS movements
impeded by troops of the de facto gov-
ernment and no effectual attempts
were made to Illustrate his hostile de-
signs against Americans. In fact, as
am informed, while villa and his
band were slowly moving toward tho
American frontier in the neighbor-
hood of Columbus, s. NJ. not single
Mexican soldier was seen in his vi
oinity. Yet the Mexican authorities
were fully cognizant OF his movements,
for ON March 6, us General Gavira

American military authorities of the
outlaws approach to the border so
that they might be prepared TO pre-
vent him from crossing the boundary.

NOTES OF THE CAMP.

The "medicos" now have a screened
mess tent. This afternoon they decided
to follow the lead of the signal officers
and soop had supply of lumber and
wire netting on hand. They waited
until the cool Of the evening, and then
started to work. Capt. Began drove
the first nail. Capt Hudson declares
that his associate hit his thumb with
the hammer "the first crack out of the
box"
Capt Hudson acted as supervisor of
| the work, and Capt Dollman also was
present while construction of the fly
less mess tent was in progress. Capt.
Began. Lieut.. Pelzman. Sergt. Ketner,
and Prfyates Hughes, Arbeelie and
| Emerson did most Of the work. When
| darkness came on Capts. Hudson and
Dollman did not mind it in the least;
| they obtained lanterns, SO that their
associates could continue their good
work.
| A soldier from the 22d brought a pair
of boxing gloves into camp last night.
and for an hour or SO the Signal Corps
| men had fine time beating up one an
other: Merritt and Briggs mixed things

wards and Cox tried their hand at the
sport. Carrico and Tanning were

Filter at Hospital Tent.
A filter has been set UP just outside
of the hospital tent IN the medico
camp. Capt. Dollman says it is for
| demonstration purposes only. as the
water in this locality is quite clear.
The chief objection to the water is the
| fact that along in the afternoon 1t gets
| SO warm that 1t cannot be used for
drinking purposes unless iced or cooled
in some other manner. The pipes are
laid only q few inches under the
ground. and with the sun beating down
| on them for several hours the water in
| them actually gets hot. A big canvas
water bag has been set up in the med
leo camp, and with this the tempera-
