U. s. TROOPS RETURN

Continued on Page Two
 The heavy cavalry horses had found difficulty in keeping up the speed set by the wiry little Mexican COW pony and they showed their fatigue in dropped heads and tails The men sat. saddle weary on their mounts. Many had souvenirs of the Villa pursuit. One caValryman from the mountains Of Tennessee obtained the sombrero with the golden star, worn by Villas Dora dos or Golden-Guards Another ob- tained an old Mauser rifle from a dead soldier. Private Wooddell of the ninth engineers foraged a miniature mule and rode it all the way to the post
 Officers obtained silver spurs and many sombreros, knives and crude equipment which were brought back
 One American Casualty
 All of the seven Mexican prisoners professed to be either farmers in the valley or Carranza soldiers, none ad- hitting having been with Villa. They had but six horses and mules, one pris- oner having to ride down double on a mule that had been shot in the left forefoot and will have to be destroyed.
 Colonel James J. Hornbrook, com nlander of the fifth cavalry. announced tonight that one casualty occurred in his command during the pursuit of the Villa forces this morning, Private Ar thur A. Linburg, who was shot through the neck. He will recover.
 Three Villa followers also were brought to the hospital at Fort Bliss to have their wounds treated, having been captured by the American forces.

STAGE SOLDIERS LAUGHA5LE

A British soldier in London recently placed himself on record in the Daily Mail with the statement that actors can impersonate any character successfully except a soldier in uniform. The ob- servation was inspired by the scene of Lees surrender to Grant as depicted in John Drinkwater's play, Abraham Lincoln,' which is attracting so much comment in England just now
 The American soldiers of the civil war" says the writer, were not, for the most part, regulars carefully drilled in peace-that is true. But all soldiers, after four years of war. get q soldiers bearing. It is an erect, yet easy bear ing. sure footed. but not suited.
 Grant and Lee were suited and rot al all easy.
 Above all. Lees entry when he came to ask for the terms of surrender was quite wrong. He entirely failed to look the general worn out with the daily gnd nightly anxieties of a long and losing battle painfully bringing all his dig nity into the performance of this last duty.
 Also the procedure is an obviously stage procedure. Lee walks up to Grant in the center of the stage, the two gen erals face each other in silence, and, Grant. the victor. very, very, very slow ly raises his hand to a quite impossible salute which Lee initiates.
 Lee should have saluted the moment he came inside the door, the formal but courtly salute of one commander in-chief to another: Grant would have saluted almost simultaneously with a soldierly precision. That slow lifting Of the hand-a very familiar stlge trick to express strong emotion inhi5iting the muscular functions-was perfectly ri- diculous to a soldier who knows how the real thing is done.

 Plans for magnificent hotel struc ture are now being prepared by Posti. and Fischer, noted Chicago hotel architects and engineers. Preliminary plans that already have been submit ted and which will be incorporated in the final plans call for 9 building nine stories in height, exclusive of base ments and roof garden. The hotel will have 300 rooms, each with bath, with ice water piped to every room, and the structure will be modern and of the very highest class in every detail
 The roof garden is designed to solve one of the big problems of Phoenix q providing accommodations for large conventions and other big meetings for which at present there is no amp, auditorium. In this garden on top of Phoenix's new million dollar hotel, it is planned to seat 1,20O people under one roof. A portion of the roof garden will be a glass-enclosed banquet hall where 400 or 800 persons may dine at one time or where smaller conven- tions can be accommodated
 Start Work in 60 Days

 It Is added that the allied and asso- cited powers believe, if the German people prove that they intend to fulfill the conditions of the peace and that they have abandoned forever these az gressive and estranging policies which caused the war, it will be possible at an early date to complete the league Of nations by the admission Of Germany thereto
 Clause VII refers to the denunciation by Germany Of the blockade of the allies. It declares the blockade always has been legal and recognized method of war. It adds that if the allies inn pose blockade of exceptional severity on Germany. it. was because of the criminal character of the war initiated by Germany and of the barbarous methods adopted by her in prescott inS it."
 Clause VIII says: Tn conclusion, the allied and associated powers must make it clear, this letter and the mem orandum attached constitute their last word They have examined the German observations and counter proposals 1 with earnest attention and care. They have, in consequence. made important qualifications in the draft treaty. But, Tn its principles. they stand by it. They believe that it is not only just settlement of the great war but it provides the basis upon which the peo- pies of Europe can live together in friendship and equality"

ANGELES IS SAD

not the forthcoming battle, but the ac- tion of the big sister republic in the north, if General Villa took the port city.
 Angeles a Sad Man
 For q person to reach General An geles' headquarters was a task that would tax strong nerves. For miles on every road, a stranger approaching would have to come in with the right hand in the air, showing that he was not an enemy
 When General Angeles received the news by a courier that the Americans were over, a shadow crossed his face and his disappointment was great He had hoped. he said, that the United States would still adhere to it's atti- tude of non-interference and he again referred to the Nogales- Sonora troop movements through American terri tory. General Angeles expressed re gret that shots had been fired into Fl Paso.
 Total number of forces with Villa around the immediate vicinity of Juarez, and stretching in a semi circle for a distance of 12 miles, was less thar a,600 men. For, as General An geles said. ii Central Villa had had 1000 men. as it was reported, the break through the Carranza lines Sunday 1 afternoon which only consumed one 1 hour and one minute. would not have lasted well towards II p. m.
 The men under Martin Lopez were | the most conspicuous with regard to ! bravery. A handful of them would l attack whole company of Carranza men. Reports received at the head l quarters Sunday morning said that the men led personally by Lopez had reached a point less than 200 yards 1 from Fort Hidalgo itself. Villa Will RetaIiate?
 The attitude of General Villa before the attack, toward the United States was one of sincere friendship. It was still one of friendship before the second attack yesterday, but that it will un- dergo change now, since the Ameri- cans went after him second time, was freely expressed by his staff.
 General Angeles said he would never give up the fight he has made for hi: people and that he would be found al the end, fighting for their rights anc justice.
 The casualties on the Villa side wtrt 460, including 80 wounded. Forty were taken prisoner by General Gonzales men. Where and when the next attacl will be made is kown only to Villa ant his personal staff.
 The forces under Martin Lopez anC Colonel Holguin had only three snal field guns and were used only il breaking through the Carranza en trenchments.

around Juarez still lie unburied in the suburbs, the refugees who sought safety on the American side of the bor der are slowly returning to their homes. A few places of business have reopened and all fear of another attack was dis pelled by the report that the American cavalry had chased the Villa men far to the east along the river.
 Members of General Gonzales staff estimate their casualties at 150, but ad- init that they have no details as yet. Fifty seven wounded have been treated at the White Cross hospital, established in an old billiard hall.
 The garrison which was concentrat- ed at Fort Hidalgo last night. began taking up positions at the various bar racks this afternoon. There are GO Villa prisoners at Fort Hidalgo whose fate has not yet been determined by court martial, which will begin to- morrow.
