ARTILLERY MAY BE USED IN FINAL ROUNDUP OF VIILLA The photograph shows a detachment of United States
artillery in Mexico. On account of the nature of the soil and climate, army officers have found the movement of artillery a
very difficult problem. Light field artillery, however, usually can proceed anywhere that the cavalry can go. It is possi

of the same manipulators who four
years ago tried to sclr.c the party

and having only three of their own kind
