WflN Millinery Ju |jy Fourth and Walnut Streets \M FRIDAY EVENING, ' ■ „ „ HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 14, 1916. I The march to Guerrero was one of the hardest of the cavalry's ex ploits on account of intense cold. The officer who brought the dispatches was with the machine gun platoon, but acted as a messenger during the fighting. He said the march upon Guerrero. 55 miles, began about noon of Tuesday, March 28, proceeding un til nearly dark, when a brief halt was w ' as mac ' e - dark the ten troops of the Seventh in this exploit resumed their march. Late at night it be came very cold, and when the men finally reached San Antonio, about 12 miles from Guerrero, they were all shivering. At San Antonio, there was a long stop, while the guides were be ing found. During this wait some of the men boxed with each other to keep warm. Others laid their ears against the necks of their horses to stop them from aching. Finally after a delay which made it impossible to reach Guerrero before daylight the march HALF MILLION IN IMPROVEMENTS Carlisle Building Operations Will Include Hospital and Indian School Structures Special to the Telegraph Carlisle, Pa., April 14.

The most important work of the year is the construction of the new $50,000 Carlisle Hospital, now prac tically completed which will be dedi cated this month. Funds for the con struction were raised by private sub scription in the town and country. Additions and alterations costing be tween $40,000 and $,">0,000 have been begun by tho Frog, Smith and Manu facturing company, the largest tnanu- I facturers of the town. The changes are principall in the manganese cast ing department. This division of the company is engaged in filling a large government contract for special bucket lips and other steel work for the Panama Canal operations. Fur ther additions are contemplated dur ing the year with an increase of the capacity output of 20 per cent. Work will be begun in two weeks on the construction of a modern new laundry building for C. L. Strayer, formerly of York. The place will cost upwards of $20,000 and takes the place of a century old road house. Dr. J. M.

A meeting of the Halifax Brotherhood will be held in the United Brethren Church on Sunday afternoon at 3.15 o'clock. An interesting program is being pre pared, a feature of which will be a debate: "Resolved, That tho Bible should be taught in the Public School." Affirmative, the Rev. C. E. Ret tew and I J. Irwin Hoffman; negative. Dr. Fred erick C. Smith and W. Leroy Brooke. was resumed. It was so dark that houses one hundred feet from the road could not be distinguished from the background of hills and moun tains. This made marching slow. Were Close to Villa Although they did not hear of It that night, some of the officers of. the Seventh were informed a few daya-iatu erwards that Villa was believed to have been at a house within two miles of San Antonio the night when the American column passed on its way 1 to Guerrero. As the Americans took their posi tions at three points about Guerrero, the officer stationed with the machine guns said that he could look down into the city, which was spread over <i wide expanse. From the plaza and : from most of the houses he saw men running and everywhere horses were being saddled hurriedly. Before the American surrounding movement was complete two columns of men rode out of Guerrero. Each of them carried a Mexican flag, the same as the Carran za troops bear. Word went along the American lines not to fire on the Mex ican flag. Two captains, JamesFechel and Rush Wells were sent forward to demand the identity of the two col umns. Captain Fechel received no reply to-his demand, but Captain Wells was fired on. Snipe as They Scatter The Americans swung into action as fast as their tired horses would take them, while the Villa band scattered, | all in flight, some in twos and threes, sniping as they retreated from rock to rock. The Villa forces, this mes senger said, formed three times as if to make a stand against the Americans but gave up each time without a tight and continued their retreat. The Am ericans followed, riding a short dis tance and then dismounting to (Ire. It was difficult for the Americans to I overtake tho Villa band because of the long march the cavalrymen had made to reach Guerrero. For this reason the machine gun platoon was unable to get into action at very close range. From a hill these guns swept an area of about 2,000 yards wide and 2,000 yards deep. Observers with the guns saw horses in the distance lying prone where the guns had reached them. The machine guns also followed the retreating bandits, but on account of their long march, had difficulty in keeping up with the fresh horses of the Villa followers. A cavalry officer who has been out riding the trails of the Wandits, re turning to-day, had not tasted bacon in fifteen days. His troops did not meet any of the bandits but partici pated in many long chases which help ed to run the Mexicans into contact with other American forces. Old Sook Highly ITized "My most prized article of baggage." the officer said, "I think, was an old sock. When I had coffee, I kept it in this sock. When I had tobacco and no coffee, 1 turned the sock the other side out and tilled it with tobacco. One side for each, but not enough of either to keep even one side working all the time. "Yesterday T obtained some matches, took them while the other fellow wasn't looking, because 1 knew he would not need them half as much as we did out on the trail." His men and himself, this officer said, had worn out much of their clothing, according to ordinary stand ards of wear, in their hard rides. They, like thousands of other cavalry men were patching their shoes with the extra leather from their stirrups, which made excellent sole leather. "This is the only suit of clothes I have along." the officer said, "and I <vore out the seat of my trousers a week ago. So I made a new seat out of my shelter half." Two men used one tent and each carries half, culled his shelter half. These tents are about a yard high at one end, sloping to the ground at the other end. Most of the fast riding cavalry advance columns are without such tents at present, having used them for other purposes, or discarded them to lighten burdens when they got the trail of some squad of Villa bandits. I "A good many shelter tents in our. [force." the officer continued, "have I ben used to renew trouser seats." The Stout Man!
