 RivaIries of Sectarans
 AS to the difficulties due to the sectarian nature of the societies which served the army, the report said the facilities of all were open to men of all faiths "but the auspices through which these privileges are extended are sectarian. The tendency is to stimulate rivalries and jockeying for position that are disheartening to witness. To see the representatives of these different agencies wing with each other in an attempt to make a lasting good impression upon return ing troops bringing prominently into the foreground their respective em- blems and insignia, is to despair of the whole system of social work in the war
 Our men have been glad to receive what the societies had for them in the shape of service or supplies, and they have not cared two straWS whether it came from Protestant, Catholic or Jewish hands. Our boys fought at Chateau Thierry and in the Argonnr as Americans. They did not fight as Protestants, Catholics or Jews. As a matter of fact there is no reason for sectarianism. The religious interests of the army are wisely con- fined to the chaplains."

 Contrary to popular impression, MT, Fosdick stated, the Salvation Army did not give it's supplies free except in case of need.
 Its policy is to sell it's canteen supplies,' he said, "even it's far famed doughnuts- it's proces, due to the fact that it had no extensive buying machinery, are generally higher than those of the Y. M. c. A.

Fruit Growers Favor Trucks.
Fruit growers are another class
among whom autotrucks are becoming
common. The big fruit farm, hauling
its own fruit to the railroad, uses
horses in the fall out Of all proportion
to farm needs at other seasons.
Numerous large fruit farms formerly
made no attempt to keep draft horses
In the numbers required for fall haul
ing and instead let this work out
on contract, at so much a box or bar

class: during the long, idle periods n
consumes no oats. The autotruck is
also proving valuable to growers Of
perlshable fruits permitting them to
ignore the express route and find q
market In a hurry when required.

CAVALRYM'N RETURN
FROM BANDIT CHASE
Five Outlaws Killed and Six
Suspects Arrested By
Punitive Expedition.

Maria. TeX.-Thrce hundred Amerf-
can cavalry troops Sunday made their
way back 10 the Rio Grande through
driving rainstorm after an unsuc-
cesstul campaign begun last Tuesday
to overtake the bandits who captured
and held for ransom Lieutenants Har-
old G. Peterson and POul H. Davis.
The first of the expedition to cross
the border on the return to the Unit
ed States, the pack and supply trains,
reached RuidOsa shortly after $50
o'clock Sunday night. The remainder
of the expedition followed.
Contact with Carranza forces, also
| the bandits, and heavy rain which
wiped out the fresh trails, resulted IN
the decision to abandon the chase.
The Mexican federals were encounter
ed Sunday night by a scout patrol and
after a conference army officials de-
cided to abandon the pursuit In the
| meantime the rain had wiped out the
trails of the bandits, who were only
a few hours ahead of the Americans.
The punitive expedition is making the
return in single column, with three
cavalry troops leading pack trains,
machine gun troops and other units
| following. The troops are acting as
rear guards.
The six days below the border re-
suited in the killing Of four bandits
| by troops and the death Of one by ma
| chine gun bullets from an airplane
Nine bandits said to be part Of the
RenteriA band were captured at Coy
anne, in a dance hall, by Carranza
forces. Reports that Jesus Renteria,
leader of the bandits, had been killed
were brought to the border, but could
not be confirmed.
1t was announced at Southern de-
partment headquarters that the re-
quest of General Pruneda, Carranza
commanders, for aviators to scout in
the vicinity of Palomas, where band
Of ViIlistas were reported, would not
be granted. The reason for the re-
fusal, it was stated, was that the
troops went into Mexico solely for the
baRdits who captured and held Lieu
tenants Davis and Peterson, and they
were not sent for the purpose OF pur,
suing any other bandits.
According to Southern department
headquarters information, Jesus Rem
terra is supposed to be at San Pedro,
in a mountainous district to which
only three trails approach. 1t is not
considered practical to attempt to
reach Renteria with the forces which
were sent across the Sborder. There
are five towns by the name of San
Pedro in Chihuahua, but the one where
Renteria has gone is supposed to be
the San Pedro 80 miles south Of Chi
huahua City.
The Palomas referred to in Gen,
eral Pruneda's request is about fifteen
miles southwest of Chihuahua City, it
is believed. According to information
CLEANED by army scouts, Pancho villa
is now thought to be in the vicinity
of Parral, but his brother, Hipolito
is believed to be at or near San Pedro
where Renteria is reported to have
gone.
