miles on their road to the Rio Grande.
But every farm and every village was
a menace. and at first they were forced
TO make numerous detOurs. AS the
Night grew older, however, they rode
straig lighter course, urging their horses
to the limit, hoping against hope to

and Dolores, who were unused to the
saddle and unable to maintain the pace
Juan set for them.

the crest of a fiinty ridge to give their
horses breath and to estimate their

states that the American flag which
was intended for the division which
he offered to raise for the French
front has been sent to a station which
the military authorities have named
Station Roosevelt in his honor.
Nine. Vix expresses to Colonel
Roosevelt the deep regret which she
and her compatriots feel that he is
not coming to France. When his
sion of American fighters was an
nounced the people OF France as
sumed that his proffered service was
as good as accomplished and looked
forward to his arrival with great an
ticipation.
The Partisan singer cabled to the
Colonel asking II she might have the
honor of presenting him with an
American flag for his regiment and
he cabled to her his acceptance. The
presentation Of the colors by Nine.
Nix was to be a part OF the cere-
monies of greeting to the Colonel and

authorities have accepted it for this
purpose.
