WHAT THE SHORS1 5 :. " u y
ARE SHOWING - .NZ

Tickle March with all it's bIuster
still gives us some delightful days,
when all outdoors calls to us to come
and enjoy it. Whatever outdoor pleas
ures we prefer, everyone agrees on the
joys of kodalling and now is the time
10 plan for the coming season and Sc
lect the particular kodak one wishes.
The Gorgas Drug Store, 16 North
Third street, makes a specially of
Eastman kodaks and supplies, and
their stock is so large and complete
that one may find there anything that
could be desired in this line, ranging
from the popular little Brownie 1T
$1.00 to the most expensive and COM
plete kodaks with all the newest at
tachments.
Warm Again. Cold Again
With one day warm and the next
day cold, it is very helpful to have
a furnace that can be easily and
quickly regulated, and the Penn Per-
feet furnaces, sold by the Hines
Hardware Store, 10 North Market
Square, are especially easy to regu-
late. Large rounded fiue strips and
"A special jog placed below the drum
with outlet through the lower casing
instead of the upper as is usual in the
ordinary furnace, gives these furnaces
an indirect draft and revertible hue
effect which increases the heating
power while diminishing the amount
of coal required.
Variety Is the Spice of Life
Variety is the spice of life" and the
clever housewife makes a point OF
offering varied menus to her family
instead of allowing the meals to falI
into the too common rut of sameness
Nuts, raislns, dates and figs make a
welcome variation of the menu, espe-
cially during the Lenten season, FOR
these things are as nourishing as
meats, and far more wholesome. The

WASHINGTON, d. c., May o.
Eleven companies of coast artillery
stationed at gulf and Atlantic ports
were ordered to San Antonio, Texas.
tonight to serve as infantry with the
border patrol.
Secretary Baker announced the de-
cision to draw upon the coast artil-
lery, virtually the only available
troops left north of the border, was
reached after a conference at the
War Department late tonight.
He said the eleven companies
would be drawn from all along the
coast from Galveston to Delaware.
SO that no post would be left without
sufficient garrison.
The Secretary also formally an
nounced the orders for the movement
to San Antonio of the five batteries
of the Fifth field artillery at Fort

of the Third field artillery at Toby

AMERICAN TROOPS PURSUED
THE GLENN SPRINGS RAIDERS
This Latest Invasion of the United States Territory May
Also Be Followed into Mexico

to death in the raid by Villa bandits
Friday night. The force constituted
one hundred and more cavalrymen
belonging to Troops A and B of the
Eighth cavalry under the command
of Major Langhorne. Two troops OF
the Fourteenth cavalry commanded
by Colonel Sbley, from Fort Clark,
go forward tomorrow.
! A strict censorship is enforced to
screen the troop movements either
in the pursuit of the brigands or in
the protection of the border from
| further attacks.
Captain Cole, with % men of Troop
A, is now scouting the river country
where the bandits recrossed the Rio
Grande in their flight after the at
tack on Glenn Springs and Boquillas.
Unconfirmed reports are current
tonight at Boquillas that bodies of
bandits are operating in numbers on
the Mexican side. The number of
cavalrymen under present orders to
proceed toward the river indicates
that no effort would be made to pur-
sue the bandits into Mexico unless
they are observed near the border.
In that event chase into Mexican
territory may be attempted that
might carry the American forces fifty
or more miles into Coahuila.
Lack of transportation and prop
erly defended lines of communication
preclude any extended pursuit into
Mexico and military men here do not
think another punitive expedition
possible because of the lack of caval-
rymen. The last body of Villa fol-
lowers recrossed the Rio Grande Sat
urday morning and they are now
probably nearly forty miles south of.
the river.
at would take brigade of at
least 5000 men to form an eXpedi-
toin into Mexico to effectively cope
with the situation" said an army of
ficer here today just before the troops
moved toward Glenn Springs. eve
simply have not the men for another
punitive expedition.
You can't chase mounted bandits
with infantrymen. If we see any
bandits near the river, I imagine we
will get orders to go after them, but
l don't know positively But | do
know we can't go far after them with
but four troops of cavalry"
1t was learned here today that after
the raid of Glenn Springs the ban
dts split their forces in two bodies
one heading toward the Rio Grande
and fording the river at Boquillas,
and the other, about 40 in number,
working southeast and recrossing the
river at San Vicente. 1t was here
that they were observed by Mrs.
Hart, school teacher, who reported
that the brigands, mounted, crossed
the Rio Grande about 5 o'clock Satur-
day night and disappeared into
Mexico.

making art, opportunities are now
lacking for giving them Nhe practical
experience essential to quick and
ready grasp of the emergencies
which would arise at the outbreak of
hostilities.
For these reasons, if congress de-
cides to embark upon project of
this character, there viii be many
advantages in conducting the work
under the engineering corps of the
United States army.
with reference to the sum pro-
posed for defraying. exposes, the in
ment is insufficient to permit a posi-
tive expression of views as to wheth-
er $25O,000 will suffice to prepare a
complete plan for the whole United
States or not. The recent highway
work for various states has provided
a considerable mileage which will be
available for connection between
principal centers. 1t has been com
puted, however, that the total length
of roads in the United States is
something over 100000 miles, and
considering the wide extent of the ma
tional domain and the fact that in so
many instances alternative routes be-
tween centers are available, it will
be seen that the plan involves the
consideration of thousands of miles
of highways. The sum mentioned,
however, will doubtless permit the
preparation of preliminary plans for
a large proportion of the principal
routes.
Every respectfully,

Secretary of War"
