TROOPS DASH ACROSS
BORDER AFTER BANDITS
Eighth Cavalry With Aviators Flying
Bombing Planes Start in Pursuit
Of the Outlaws.

Maria, Texas, Aug. 21.-American
troops of the> eighth cavalry, with
aviators flying bombing planes acting
as scouts ahead of the columns, swept
across the Mexican border early Tues
day as a punitive expedition in pur-
suit of the bandit band under Jesse
Renteria, who held the American n
army aviators, Peterson and Davis,
prisoners in Mexico, it was announced
at military headquarters here today.
The troops are supported by an
adequate communication line, pack
trains carrying the field wireless for
use when out of touch with the avi-
ators who are scouting the entire
Ojinaga district for the bandits.
Colonel Langhorne sent a message
to Gen. Antonio Pruneda, commander
of the Ojinaga forces, through the
Mexican consul at Presidio, Texas,
notifying his troops in the field to pre-
vent possible clash between Car
rama troops and American cavalry.
Lieut.. H. G. Peterson and Paul
Davis, aviators of the United States
army, held captive for more than a
week by Mexican bandits who de-
manded ransom of $4,000, were
rescued early Tuesday morning by
captain Matlock, Of the eighth cav
airy, and are safe in American terri

Picture That Would Live.

When Daniel Webster was eight
years old he saw in a country shop
cotton handkerchief with something
printed on both sides of it. He gave
his whole stock of boarded pennies
to secure it and absorbed it's contents
that night with his keen dark ewes
on his fathers kitchen floor, by the
light of the roaring chimney fire.
What painter will be the first to
make that scene perpetual in our
country's history and art? 1t was the
constitution of the United States
just then in the dawn of its benefi-
cient power under the lead of Presf-
dent Washington, that the New Hamp-
shire lad was then stamping on his
memory. He told the story himself
in 1850, and archly said: "I have
known more or less of that docu-
ment ever since" Forty years
from that winter came the great
Hayne debate. But l would travel
further to see masters picture of
the lad. reading the constitution in
the rude home on the edge OF the
northern wilderness, than to see
Healey's great painting of the orator
in the senate struggle against the
theory and passions or secession: as
would go farther to see a picture
OF the springs of the Amazon, far up
under the cold white splinters of the
Andes than the adequate representa-
tion of the imperial rivers tropical
course.-Thomas Starr King.

dts who held two American army avi-
ators for ransom, but only meager re-
ports as to progress had been re-
ceived here tonight
The forward dash which started
three days ago was not slackened by
protests against the presence Of Amer
lean troops on Mexican soil.
Major General Joseph T. Dickman,
commander of the southern depart
ment, who arrived here today, de-
clared tonight there was nothing
ready to give out about any plan to
have flying columns of cavalry troops
on the border to pursue bandits in the
future
Nothing further has been received
from military headuarters regarding
the reported capture Of two Mexican
bandits yesterday by American troops
The report of the capture was brought
to the border by an army sergeant
sent back to the river station for sup
plies.
Aviators reported that the expedi-
tionary troops were continuing on the
trail but there were no details Of the
pursuit. Army headquarters here has
had but little information of the
troops movements below the border
since last night.
General Dickman Reticcnt.
General Dickman declined to make
any statement regarding the border
situation until he had gone over the
entire subject with Colonel Langhorne
and familiarized himself with the de-
tails of the punitive expedition. He
also refused to discuss the payment
of the balance of the ransom money,
but it was understood no effort WOW d
be made to deliver the remaining
$500.

Whether paint was invented In an.

Of beauty remains forever a disputed
question.
The first men, covering under the
fierce and glaring u II of the biblical
countries, constructed rude huts OF
wood to shelter them. The perishablo
nature OF these structures caused rapid
decay, and II Is probable that the oc-
cupants, seeking some artificial means
Of preservation, hit upon the pigments

rainbow may have created u desire 10

dwellings.
The earliest record " the appllca-

structure dates from the ark, which
was, according TO the Bible, pitched
within and without" The pitch was a
triumph OF preservation whatever Il
lacked rs y thing Of beauty.
