Expeditionary Force Crosses
Border After Long Sojourn
in Mexico.
REFUGEES ARE A PROBLEM

Columbus, N. NJ, Feb. s.-Ten
thousand thoroughly seasoned SOL
diers, members Of General Pershing S
Mexican punitive expedition, re-
turned to Columbus today, after more
than ten months foreign service.
Interest OF the soldiers tonight was
divided between the pleasures of their
first leave of absence in an American
town since they entered, and the recent
developments in the international
situation.
Columbus was a seething mass OF
soldiers tonight. Tomorrow they will
resume their march to border stations
and Columbus will gradually lapse
back into the calm which was broken
BY Villas raid in the early morning OF
March 9 last.
The refugees from Mexico, who
preceded the punitive expedition re-
main a problem for the civil authori'
ties, as there are more than 5000 en-.
camped here. The American Red
Cross has been appealed to for assist.
ance in feeding these refugees.

Washington, Feb. 5.-War and
Navy department chiefs and en-
ployes, busy with plans for any mill
tary activity the nation may require,
had interest in their task heightened
today by "a personal visit from
President Wilson. Walking over
from the White House, the president
appeared unannounced at the office OF
Secretary Daniels and after the con-
ference dropped in on Secretary
Baker.
With Secretary Daniels he talked
over the amendments to the naval ap-
preparation bill, which the house is
expected to pass tomorrow, empow-
ering the president to take over ship
building plants, munition works and
other private agencies vital to the
construction or operation of the navy
in war times.
Visit Is Routine"
The president described his visit to
Secretary Baker as routine" He is
understood to have been told just
what the army is doing in the way of
preparation. -,

TO CHIEF BENDER.
4o~ABY WILLIAM F. KIRK.H<


Cwhose Big League career has Just endea-)
VERY clearly we could hear it
As we thought of Bender's fame;
1t was Hiawatha's spirit,
Hiawatha's words that came
whispering TO this valiant pitcher,
Long wizard in the game:
''You are going, Bender, going
Going from the scenes of triumph
You beheld in other seasons
When your form was like the willow,
Quick to bend but never broken,
When the storm bowls high above II
And the cruel wind beats wildly
At the rnonarchs Of the forest
Well you held to the traditions
OF a race now strewn and wlthered,
With your subtle brain, your wisdom,
With your coed right arm untiring,
With the never-failing courage
OF the warriors gone before you.
Long you 1eigned among the leaders,
Lcng your name viii be remembered
When the names of Men are spoken"
VERY plainly we could hear 1t,
As the mystic chorus grew;
II was Hiawatha's spirit
Speaking to q warrior true,
Clean ard clever, valiant ever,
With the will TO dare and DO.
