planted at the bridgeheads began to
exercise more caution.

also prohibited.
The driving snow today made ap-
proach to the bridge piers easier and
for that reason even greater precall-

| The naval militia. which was the
first to be summoned during the Span
Iish.American war, is holding a rigid
guard over all public property, the

clad youths from offices and stores
are patrolling in these places. Anyone
| who stops is asked to move on. Ques-
tions are met with flash Of bayonet
and little more suggestion. Street
cars are kept moving. Motor men
and conductors have been warned
that while crossing the bridges they
must keep their car windows and
doors closed and keep the power
turned on.
Automobiles are met with the same
orders.
Underneath the structures search
lights swung on the piers and up and
down tho stream all night long, arc
and drop lights, illuminated the
bridges. Important looking artillery
pieces frowned grimly toward the riv-
er where constant vigil was kept by
men aboard naval tugs. Tugs were
warned not to approach closer than
fifty feet to any of the piers and
barges were especially watched lest
one Of them, laden with explosives,
should bump into the masonry.

land, the men broke into wild cheer
ing and shouting. The column as 1T
covered the final stretch of the hike
to the border was nearly fifteen miles
in length.
Before marching across the borden
the American flag was dipped in
salute. The entire expedition formed
in a hollow square at Palomas Lakes,
five miles from the border on the
Mexican side With twelve thousand
men standing at attention, the bands
played the "Star Spangled Banner"
while the stars and stripes fluttered
to the ground. then the columns
formed and pushed toward the inter
national line. For more than three
hours, the bronzed bearded veterans
of the Mexican campaign swung
through rising dust clouds, the men
laughing and cheering at every step.

General Pershing crossed the line
first The infantry regiments followed
the commander and then the cavalry
and artillery. The withdrawal of the,
American expedition from Mexico

however. he went for an hours con-
ference with German Foreign Secre-

his manner was grave.
To observers here any drawing back

With diplomatic relations at an

LONDON, Feb. 5.-British news
papers believe the turning point in
the war has been reached. An indt
cation Of how important they regard
the situation may be judged from the
fact that today's. editions devoted
from forty to sixty percent of their
editorial and news pages to the
American situation. American news
and analysis of American naval
strength was featured to the exclu-
sion Of news from the various fronts
and discussion of Britain's own in
ternal affairs.
Naval experts opinions were
spread over columns in the news
papers. Their discussions centered
on the possible aid which might be
expected from America on the seas
The experts disagree on many
points-even while they argue from
the same sets of tables showing
American naval strength-and prob-
ably the same pictures.
Pictures, incidentally, are printed
In remarkable profusion.
The naval experts are practically
unanimous in their opinion that the
main American neet will not serve
any purpose which is not already
adequately met by present forces Of
the allies. The greatest attention Is
on weapons which might be
used to combat the submarine mem
ace.
Some opinions bewail the failure of
America to provide fast cruisers;
others take satisfaction in large
of destroyers and gunboats
listed in the American register.
The most interesting comment
was the belief that something
new will be produced from Thomas
A. Edison's invention board" ap-
pointed as consulting committee by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Some
predictions were that master
weapon against the submarine would
be revealed once the United States
entered the war. Without exception
the most favorable attention was
given by critics to the mobilization
of volunteer motorcraft whose recent
maneuvers in mock warfare against
were apparently keenly
watched. from this side of the water.
The Britains called these motor boat
adversaries of the submarines, "sea
wasps."
They hold that the addition in
large numbers of these submarine
hunters to the allies effective naval
forces would be of the utmost value
at the present juncture. The organi-
cation of this force, the London Elk
press observes, proves the American
navy department has not been slow
to learn the lessons Of this war"
All British newspapers united in
lauding the spirit of the American
navy.
Everything justifies the confidence
which the United States reposes in
its naval strength" declared the
Times. Its officers and men are
real sailors" declared the Standard.
"The standard of discipline is diff
ferent from ours-it is democratic,
although efficient nevertheless"

He Wants a Iiuht

Secretary Evans of the Commercial club has discovered that he is just little envious of the white light (sing ular number) of Mesas sister city Tempe. The latter with commendable energy and some little expense has run a wire to the top of the Butte and at night the glow from big electric light, is a welcome and interesting sight t. travellers along the highway MT. EV- ans does not see any reason why Mesa should not be so adorned and adver- tised, and has written a letter to the city council asking their consideration of the question. Mesa has an elevated tank wherein is stored the towns wat CT supply, and the suggestion is a light on the top of this high tower He even goes Tempe one better and suggests both a white and red light. It may be mentioned that the top of that lone some tower is the best place for the latter sort of light if such an addition be a necessity to a community.
 Several years ago the Commercial club asked for a light on the city water tank, but the council turned the re- quest down because of the expense, but Secretary Evans hopes that with the town owning the electric light plant the expense would be nominal There are many citizens who believe the mon- ey would be well spent in carrying out the plan.

They found them Thursday over near Gilbert and brought them back with them. Three of them are Quigada, Moraga and Lion, and are boys still in their teens A fourth party of the gang is still evading the officers, but they expect to land him at once.
 Part of the goods stolen from the J. F. Hall residence was recovered, but the 30-30 rifle was not found The lads spent Thursday night in the local lookup and they seemed to be very much Unconcerned about what they had done
 This is the same bunch that was up before the juvenile court about two weeks ago, at which time they prom lsed to behave in the future.
