negunentai narratives of the five cav
airy regiments that participated in thi
hunt for Villa, which have just been
brought up to date and submitted to
headquarters, show in detail how near
tne American troopers came to accom
plishing the full purpose, of their expedition.
They show that just after the Parral
fight, on April 12, less than a mouth
after the expedition had entered
Mexico, and immediately prior to th
order to withdraw northward from th
Parral district, the Americans had ru:

had cut off every avenue of Jiis escape

flight into Durango, 500 miles from
the American border, scattered hfs

It was the victim, too, in the tragedy
oi npru a at Larnzal.
Across the Line.
Two of the five cavalry regiments
now in Mexico, the Seventh and the
Tenth, crossed the line at Culberson's
ranch early in the morning of March
16. Their dash to Colonia Dublan has
ueen 1010 ana retold, the Thirteenth,
which already had spent three and a
half years on the border, , crossed
March 15 at Columbus, whrre it had
been attacked March 9 by Villa.Two

on March 29 and were joined by the
third squadron April 10 at the Mor
mon Lakes, near Dublan. The first
dotachment of the Eleventh entered
Mexico March 17 via Columbus.
The marches of the Fifth may be
summarized briefly as follows: Nami-
quipa, April 16; ban Gerommo, April
23; Lake Itascate, April 24; San An
tonio, May 3. About the time of the
Scott-ubregon conference the regi
ment was given a district, with Satevo
as neadquarters, whKh it was ordered
v to search intensively for bandits. Each
cavalry regiment was alloted a similar
sector of southern Chihuahua. The
beating of the brush for Villistas,
however, was never fully carried out.
The Fifth, on May 10, was made part
of a provisional cavalry brigade to
cover tne withdrawal ot the expedition
northward at a- time when 4,500 Car-
ranzistas were-reported to be within
thirty miles of the Americans. Since
Carrizal it has been encamped at El
vane. !
Delav Does It.
- The Seventh, after completing its
dash to Colonia Dublan withjieneral
Pershing's column, prdceeded post
haste to San Miguel, where Villa was
reported. Poor guides caused He av
and the bandit escaped. It then start
ed toward uuerrero. J. his town was
reached by forced 1 marches twelve
days out from the border, with a daily
average of thirty-two and a half miles.
I he longest day s march was on
March 17, when fifty-eight miles were
.tovcreu. ine route cnart snows tnat
xne regiment ana detachments on
reconnaissances covered 5,500 miles.
Mention is made that during Dodd's
historic ride his men many times had
only parched corn to eat. Nearly 300
miles was made in a single file, the
troopers leading their mounts and a
number of them leaving bloody foot
prints on the rocky trail, for their
snocs had worn out. Officers and
men lent their own, money to buy
food, and forage, bdf it was not until
the end of April that clothing could be
secured. By that time the men were
in a pitiable state. I wo fights stand
to the record of the Seventh Guer
rero and lomache. -
The Thirteenth, which arrived at
Colonia Dublan on (March 17, fur
nished the two picked troops which
Major Tompkins commanded in his
dash after Villa and which were halt
ed ?t Guerrero. , The itinerary of the
remainder of the regiment embraced
El Valle, Las Cruces, Namiquipa, San
Oeronimo, Lake Itascate and El Ru

May 1 to hunt-bandits in the district
to which it had been assigned, It was
concentrated at San Antonio on May
10 and later went into permanent
camp at Colonia Dublatty
Hard Marching.
Thi history of the Tenth cavalry-is
a record otjiard marching and hard
luck. Short Iwo troops when it was
made part of the column that entered
Mexico from Culberson's ranch, it was
divided oil reaching Colonia Dublin.
The first squadron, sent south on the
Mexico Northwestern, lost a number
of men bv injuries when their ram
shackle train was wrecked. The third
squadron participated in the vain
march to San Miguel. It was joined
March 24 by the first and both reached
- Namiquipa March 25. With the first
squadron at San Diego del Monte, the
second engaged in its first clash with
the enemy at Agua Caliente on April
1. Three of the fifty Villistas routed
were killed. On April 3 this squadron
reached San Antonio and on April 6
it was at Cusi. Ordered on April 10
toward Parral as a flanking force, it
arrived at a point twenty miles from
that city just in time to reinforce
Major Tompkins' squadron, which had
retreated Irom that city. 1 he regi
ment was concentrated during the re
tirement and camped at Colonia Dub
lan on May 19.
- Commiasary Faulty.
The regiment, on May 5, lost its
commander, when Colonel Brown, ill,
reft for home. Brief mention only is
made of the hardships the only negro
cavalry in the expedition endured. It
received no clothes until May 13. The
horses began to suffer early in the
campaign from lack of forage and on
March 25 they were further disabled
when their shoes began to wear out.
The first supply of toffee, hard bread
and bacon received since March 18
was 'furnished the men on April 20.
During that time the command sub
sisted almost entirely on beef killed
on the range and corn ground in small
hand mills. No details are given con
cerning the scouting expedition in
which Troop C from Ojo Fcdcrico
and Troop K from Dublan were en
gaged in when cut up at Carrizal.
The narrative of the Eleventh, the
most detailed of the five submitted,
contains extracts from the war diaries
of the commanding officers and fur
nishes valuable sidelights on the cam
paign as viewed during its critical
period. Arriving at Colonia Dublan
on March 22, the regiment was split,
four 'picked troops under Major
Howze moving south on Villa's trail,
reaching Namiquipa on March 27.
Four others, under Lieutenant Colonel
H. T. Allen, who later become colonel
of the Thirteenth, left March 30 for
Namiquipa with verbal instructions in
regard to the pursuit of the outlaw
leader. Colonel Allen, at San Antonio
on April 8, was ordered to follow
l'ablo Lopez trail.
Men Are Ragged.
Major Howze, unable to pick up
Villa's trail in the Sierra Puras, into
which range he had fled, skirted the
mountains, honing to capture the ban
dit when he emerged. On April 10,
according to his diary, his "horses
were thin and footsore, his men rag
ged and no food or grain was to be
had in the country. .
Colonel Allen, meanwhile, had
been making marching history. Or
dered on April 12 toward Parral, he
led his men, alter sixteen consecutive
days of traveling, on a march that
lasted to the dayof April 14, and the
night of the J4tfi and 15th.
the situation that obtained during
the days following the Parral fight,
while the cavalry was near the Du
rango line, between Villa and safety,
is summarized by General Allen in
his war diary as follows:
I he story of Parral, theronference
between the American and Mexican
authorities, the search for supplies
during our encampment at this little
ranch constitute one of the most in
teresting, characteristic and peculiarly
delicate situations within my . knowl
edge of the punitive expedition. The
attitude of the people of Parral, the
instructions from General Gutierrez
not to go a step farther South, the dic
tatorial manner of General Iiuis Her
rera at the conference on April 21 and
his reply to the request for disavowal
of the unprovoked attack, ending with
there is no reason tor an apology on
my part,( all these go to show the
character of the co-operation this ex
pedition wis receiving from the au
thorities and the people. The night
our column passed through Zaragassa
(immediately after the Parral attain
the situation was very tense, and I
was expecting an attack as we passed."
Nothing unusual marked the retire
ment northward of the lfth, save the
fight at Ojo Azules. Here on lay 4
Major- Howze, after v an all-night
marchi surprised 140 Villistas, killed
forty-two, saved aCarranza lieutenant
and four men from execution and
scattered the band broadcast. Among
the more noted victims were Julio
Acosta, CruzDominguez and Antonio
Angel. All this without a single cas

good time for Busy Bees to devote in learning how children
of other lands live. Don't you think it would be interesting to
know something about the manners and customs of the little
Esquimo hoy or girl, or the Indian, Dutch, Swiss, Norse, Ital

other parts of the globe?
While our little boys and girls have their days made up by study and
play to a great extent, think of the grave responsibilities that weigh even upon
children in the war-stricken countries, for instance. There is no doubt but
what the war is weighing heavily upon their little hearts and minds. sVhich
is all the more reason for American boys and girls to be thankful we are
not in their boots..'
Stories told in your own words of children in other lands would be
most interesting for the other Busy Bees to read, I am sure. Lizzie Rath of

Kan. Blue. Side.
There was a base ball tournament
at St. Francis not long ago and we all
went to see Captain McMillen's flight.
Everybody rushed to the ball grounds,
where Captain McMillen was to make
his first flight. He was to go upl
after the ball game, about noon, nut
something -was wrong and he didn't
go up until after the game in the after
noon. He made two flights Friday
and one Saturday, which was his last
flight.
Ihe captain was interviewed prior
to his start.He stated the conditions
not the mos"t favorable for the flight,
but expressed determination to make
the attempt. Upon leaving the ground
the machine seemed to be swaying
from side to side more than it should,
but took the air better than either of
Captain McMillen's two previous
flights the day before. After reaching
an altitude of perhaps 1,200 feet the
plane righted itself and seemed to be
traveling smoothly. Veering a little
to the southeast on turning north with
the wind, the captain evidently de
veloped engine trouble. His exhaust
could be heard and was spitting until
it finally stopped, after which the ma
chine dropped rapidly until it struck a
vacuum. It came down so fast, in all
firobability, it caused the captain -to

was without a guiding hand. The ma
chine came down head first. The cap

How Pansy Came.
By Hazel Wickeuberg, Aged 12 Years,
, Omaha. Blue Side. ,
Cupid, the gocf of love, was a mis
chievous little, fellow. One day he
was walking through heayen and
looked to aee if he could find'anv mis
chief to do. When he came to Odin's
chair he sat down and looked over the
earth, but found nothing that inter
ested mm, until lie happened to look
into the garden of a rich man.
He saw a beautiful maiden -looking
up toward the sky watching the clouds
sail by. Cupid instantly fell in love
with her. She wore a lovely velvet
robe of rich purple trimmed in red
velvet. Her coat was of yellow velvet
piped in little, braids of dotted velvet.
Cupid crept down from the chair
and went to his castle. When he ar
rived there he ordered his servant to
get a few of his belongings ready, as
he was going down to the earth.
When Cupid was ready he got in his
chariot and drove down to the earth.
He went to the rich man's garden and
saw the maiden still looking up at the
sky. He went up to her and said,
"Beautiful maiden. I have looked nnnn
you from the heaven and have loved
you. Won't you come back with me
and be my bride?" But the maiden
shrank away and whispered, "Marry

Once upon a time some of my

So we were going to a different

Wonderful Discovery Which Promises to Mark a New Era in Medical Science.
NEW YORK. N. Y. Since the reHTark
able discovery of organic iron. Nuxated Iron
of "Per Nuxate," as the French call ft, has
taken the country by storm, it is conserva
tive estimated that over five million per
sons daily are taking it in this country alone.
Most astonishing results are reported from
use by both physicians and laymen. So
much so that well-known doctors predict that
we shall soon have a new age of far more
beautiful, rosy-cheeked women and vigor
ous men. , s
Dr. King a New York physician and author,
when interviewed on the subject, said :
'There ean be no vigorous iron men without
iron. Pallor means anemia. Anemia means
iron deficiency. The skin of anemic men
and women is pale. The flesh flabby. The
muscles lack, tone; the brain fags and the
memory fails and often they become weak,
rervous, irritable, despondent and melan
choly. When the iron goes from the blood
of women, the roses go from their check!. .
"In the most common foods of America,
the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies,
polished rice, white tread, seda crackers,
biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca,
sago, 'farina, degermlnated corn meal, no
longer is iron to be found. Refining proc
esses have removed the iron of Mother Earth
from these impoverished foods, and silly
methods of home cookery, by throwing down
the waste pipe the water in which our vege
tables are cooked, are responsible for an
other grave iron loss. s
'Therefore. If you wish to o reserve your
youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age,
you must supply the Iron deficiency in your
food by using some form of organic iron,
just as yon would use salt when your food
has not enough salt."
Dr. Bauer, who has studied abroad in
rreat European medical Institutions, said:
"As I have said a hundred tm nu

Prohibition vs. High License
Wj J. ConnelL who Pftmfi to Omn ha wit.li f lie MrfKof Wohrnn.
, ka as a state and has witnessed the growth and development of
Omaha from a town of less than 15,000 people to a magnificent
city of orer 160,000 inhabitants, upon being interviewed as to his
views of prohibition, responded that he had come to feel a good
deal like the old Quaker who said to his better half, "Wife, I
do believe everybody has one crazy except me and thee ! and at
times I have my doubts if we are not a little bit off in the upper
story." Notwithstanding these doubts, Mr. Connell's views are
as follows: , x j '' "
"I favor the present tiigh license system over proposed abso
lute prohibition for the following reasons:
"First Our present high license law is in effect a local option-law.
- . '
''Second Under the present high license system, where
public sentiment will sustain prohibition, you can have pro
hibition. This is true of every county in Nebraska, under exist
ing law. Where the sentiment of the people in any city or
county does not sustain prohibition, this attempt to enforce it
will be a dismal failure.
"Third-fit is better to have regulation of the liquor traffic
than bootlegging, which is certain to follow attempted pro- ,
hibition. ' .
"Fourth Certain evils have existed from time immemo-
rial, and will continue to exiet in some form for all time to come.
They canl)e regulated, but not wiped out by law or constitu
tional amendments. ... .
"Fifth There is less danger from an open fire that can be
seen and kept within proper control than from a concealed or
smothered fire. , v
"Sixth What a person wants, they will have. , ' . '
- "Seventh To be denied anything only creates the desire
and increases the determination to have it anyhow.
"Eighth You can't legislate goodness into anybody -,
"Ninth-It is education, nof; legislation, that makes' people
better. The teaching of the ill-effects of alcohol on the human
system, as now taught in our public schools, .is doing more for
the cause of temperance, than all the prohibition agitators in
. America.
