Thousands of Years Old.

The Mexicans know these trails as
a New Yorker knows Broadway-or
better. There are certain broad,
open. well travelled trails which lead
back from the border to the little
Mexican settlements. Some of them
can be navigated by wagon Many
others are only fit for horse and bur-
70 use. The first travellers laid them
out by following the natural grades
of the country. No doubt many of
them are thousands Of years old.
Back Of them are innumerable short
cuts and hidden trails. They go up
almost wall-like hills. They wind
through the baked and burned Bad
Lands. They tunnel under the
branches of the mesquite. Those who
know them can find water, perhaps
once day. perhaps more often. Those
who do not would suffer torments
with the heat and the thorns and the
constant labor. The lone scout would
be in danger of ambush every second.
A company of cavalrymen would be
advertised like a circus parade. The
banditti they chase could spend half
their time playing cards and still get
away.

PLENTY Of PLANES
| TOPATROL BORDER
Herbert Corey Learns Ban
ditry Along Mexican Frontier
Can Be Defeated.
100 MACHINES ARE READY
BY HERBERT COREY.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, October s.
There are one hundred airplanes ready
for use against the Mexican banditti
That means that-if Washington
permits their use-robbery and murder
Will be carried on with some diff
Guilty along the border. Up to this
time the robbers and murderers have
had all the best of 1t. They had only
to light down on some poor mans
farm, shoot him, injure his wife. beat
UP his little children, steal his cattle
and ride away. There was nothing to
be done about it.
Now and then the U. S. cavalry
could ride into Mexico on a punitive
gotten drunk or If they waited too
long at some other mans farm, or If
their chronic distaste for Americans
led them into the folly of fighting it
pened, the U. S. cavalry promptly won
q victory. Usually no one of those
things happened. After the cavalry
got tired of riding into Mexico it
Honor had been satisfied2and the
thieves had the cattle.
What the Border Looks Like.
It has not been the fault of the
cavalry. Conditions were to blame.
Most of the border country is on edge.
II you can imagine a junk pile-com-
pounded of broken bottles and half
bricks and Jagged stones-magnif1ed
q few million times and then over
grown with thorn bushes you can
get a fair idea of what the border
country is like. Some Of it is bare
rock and sage and alkali. Here and
there canyons have been chopped in
1t. Some Of them are miles long and
hundreds of feet deep with nearly
precipitous sides.
Everywhere is mesquite and manza-
nita and the other sorts Of oTergrown
bushes and dwarf trees peculiar to
this country. They all wear thorns.
Even the toads are prickly down here.
Only the man who is thoroughly ia
miliar with the trails can ride through
the country, and he only if his legs
are protected by chaps. There are
barrens covered with cactus, which
dagger-like points Of the cactus leaves
would rip their legs open like knives.
I'VE rode for ten hours once on the
trail Of bunch of robbers said
cavalryman Then they hit rocky
fiat on which the unshod hooves of
their horses left ne tracks. By and
by-quite by accident-we came out
OF the brush on the lip Of a canyon
and made camp by a little spring
Next morning, half a mile away as
the crow flies, we saw the robbers
They were unget-at-able That rift
was more than 1000 feet deep. and we
did not know the trail down. We turn
ed around and went home"

Pershing Wanted Airplanes.

All this was known years ago. Gen.
Fred Funston. Gen. Hugh Scott, every
other general who ever served on the
border has known of it and told Of 1t.
The use of airplanes was urged by
Gen. Pershing in his Mexican expedi-
tions. But he could not get the planes.
In his first expedition he. had three
airplanes, each Of which Of about the
flying value of an old-fashioned side
bar buggy. They were a frightful
nuisance. the troopers say, but Of no
practical value.
Now Gen. Dyckman may call 100
planes into action II he wishes. Most
Of them are the American made bomb
motor. They are heavy, slow. un-
handy affairs, that remind one Of q
buzzard in action, rather than an
eagle. These statements may be re-
sented, but 1t Is a fact that the
American bombing plane was never
on q parity with even the second best
of the French or German planes. They
are not designed for this work. But
they are better than no planes.
There are a few other planes at
Dyckman's command, too. Some are
of the lighter type, and there are
some French combat planes. accord
ing to the flying men. These are Of
precisely the type desired for border
carry a sufficient supply of fuel to
permit a flight of several hours. Such
planes can comb the chapparal at
will. Unless their operators descend
unnecessarily low they are practi-
cally immune from danger. Only by
an extraordinary chance can a rifle
man hit flyer.
Evening star., 1919-10-12
Even Old Planes Invaluable.

II Intervention is ordered these
planes will be absolutely invaluable.
Even the unwieldy. clumsy, danger
Gus DH-4 and its liberty motor will
be useful. They can scour the coun-
try for leagues in advance, and If 1t Is
desired a squadron Of the big planes,
each with a machine gunner in the
observers chair, could break up the
average Mexican army. But even II
Intervention is not ordered the planes
will mean that policing the border
Is possible.
There will certainly be a protest
from President Carranza-added to
his protests already filed-against the
use of planes on the Mexican side of
the border. But an air patrol Of the
border would put an end to he sue
cession Of murders and thefts Of
which border residents have been the
victims. In most cases these out
RACES have been committed on the
Mexican side of the line.
