Id BLUE, Tom Mix's favorite
horse and companion for fifteen
~ years, is dead, and the sorrow
that prevails In Melville, Tom Mix's
cowboy colony, will be shared by all
who have seen Mix ride this sterling
animal through all sorts Of difficult sit
nations.
The story OF Old Blue is n Of the
most beautiful tales of horse and man
friendship that ever has come out OF
The cattle country. Known among the
cowboys as a 'coldjaw boss" Old
Blue was feared by everybody until
Tom Mix got him. 1t was the unruly
ways OF Old Blue that attraced Mix.
The horse was fast. was trim when he
got going. and displayed a keen intel
ligence that was necessary for the sort
Of work Mix was doing. So Tom Mix
set to work to win Old Blues affec-
lion.
Day after day he took the horse out
and played with him; always fed Old
Blue himself. and in countless ways
showed that he and the horse should
BE- friends. This kindness was reward
ed by the growth in Old Blue of a
blind confidence in Tom Mix, and from
then until about q year ago. Old Blue
was the only horse Mix would ride.
One llJ while Tom was making 6
picture in Arizona, Old Blue stumbled
and fell. The horse scrambled to his
feet and wanted to 80 on, but Tom i'm
mediately dtsmounted and decided
right there that Old Blue had oyertax-
cd his strength and had earned a rest.
So the horse was pensioned and sent to
Melville, where a fine roomy box stall
was built for him and he was made
rs, comfortable as possible.
The other day Old Blue while gallop-
Ing about the corral in exuberance Of
spirits, stumbled and broke a leg. He
was promptly chloroformed- and thus
Tom Mix's favorite horse passed away.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, May 29.-
Sucha howl OF protest as has never
been heard at Camp Stuart, near here,
went up today when West Virginians
of the Eightieth division, who arrived
yesterday on the Zeppelin, were in
. ioimed that they were to parade in
Itichmond June and then so TO Camp
Lee for rehabilitation.
Z I'VE want to so home" was the cry
+ heard on all sides.
1--WE have been through hell for tho
3 people OF this country" said one West
Virginia trooper, "and now We have
to amuse them"
The attitude OF the West Virginians
is that of objecting to parading in a
foreign ssate, where they are known
by only handful OF people. They
have no objection to parading in their
home state or city. in fact Clarksburg
boys in camp have started move
ment among themselves to parade in
tina city as soon as they get there,
iprovided all come home together.
Although they would be out of the
army then and without officers, their
8plan is to name officers from among
their number.
Boys from Clarksburg, Fairmont and
Martinsburg voted today on the ques-
ton of parading in Richmond and not
singel ballot was cast inStavor of the
parade. All the men who arrived on
the Zeppelin yesterday were deloused
last might. parting with their cootie
friends with tears and now as one
soldier put II I'VE are all dressed up
and no place to go" the boys can see
no reason why they should be held
here until the date for the parade,
when they are all ready to go to Camp
Lee for demobilization.
All the boys are in excellent health
and are anxious for news from home,

IN retiring today from his post as
\ commander of the Eightieth division
to take command of the port of en-
= barkation here, Major General Adel-
bert Cronkhite issued statement in
which he paid high tribute to the men
Bpf the Three Hundred and Fifteenth
Field Artillery and other units of the
division.
In addition to being clean men. y
said General Cronkhite, they are as
scrappy a bunch as any 1 have ever
commanded" He then cited incidents
OF the divisions record in France to
back Il phis statement.
General Cronkhite succeeded Cen
seral Ferguson as C 'pmander of the
port. He received word of his trans
fer by wireless as the Zeppelin passed
on the Virginia Capes yesterday
morning.
