EL PASO HERALD EDITORIAL and MAGAZINE PAGE Saturday, Sept. 16, 1916. Motor Transportation Of Troops A Helpful Flood The Best Man Loses Why Not End The Farce? Short Snatches From Everywhere Gea. Bell'-" plan to transport an entire division of United States troops from El Paso to Elephant Butte dara and return by motor truck is one -which will arouse great interest throughout the army and in the war de partment as demonstrating the feasibility of trans porting units of 12,000 or more men considerabIe dis tances over average roads by means of motor vehicles It may foreshadow the day when infantry will become as mobile as cavalry; when troops will be far less de pendent on railroads than now. The trip to Elephant Butte by a division of United States .troops will recall the day when Gen. Gallieni commandeered thousands of taxicabs and other motor vehicles in Paris, loaded them with 12,000 soldiers and sped the whole command to the battlefield of the Marne m tune to turn back the German army which threat ened to overwhelm the capital of France. That trans portation, however, did not present many difficulties which would be encountered in moving the same num ber of men to Elephant Butte dam and back. The roads out of Paris are among the finest in the world. There was no need for transporting supplies for the troops in the same movement. The essential thing in "914 was to move the selected portion of the army of Pans a comparatively short distance at considerable 'peed and launch a severe blow with it against a wing rf the German army to meet an emergency. The Amer ican army's journey to Elephant Butte dam will be more leisurely but also more arduous, and more equip ment will be required. Such movements of troops by motor truck as have thus far been attempted, though heretofore on a small cale, not more than a few companies at a time, have been entirely successful- The trucks have given satis faction and the cost of transportation is very much less than that by rail. It is probable the time will not come when motor transportation will enable infantry, equipped with mo tor trucks, to entirely displace the cavalry arm. Cavalry is of service in country where even motor trucks can not penetrate. Much of the scouting for Villa bandits by Gen. Pershing's troops has been in mountains so mgged that men could proceed only on horses, mules or on foot Cavalry will be needed for such purposes so long as troops operate in badly broken country, al though infantry officers assert with great vehemence 'hat, day in and day out, infantry can outdo the cavalry in a long campaign, men on foot becoming more hard rned with service, while horses "wear out" under it It has been said of the Mexico expedition that it was a "cavalry expedition." because Gen. Pershing is a ravalryman and is considered by infantrymen as partial to that branch of the service. Gen. Bell is an infan tryman and the infantry is going to be given a chance n this new plan of his, say the infantry officers. Whatever the truth in the bickering between the different branches of the army, motor transportation bids fair to tremendously increase the mobility of the jinny The Salt River oralley surrounding Phoenix was aided by a cloudburst and flood last Saturday evening. Dis patches late in the day told of an unusually heavy downpour of rain, followed by a rush of water which caused breaks in the canals and the flooding of fields. The dispatches told of many thousands of dollars worth of damage, and the reader could have been forgiven the impression that crops and farm land itself suffered. Such was not the case, however. Phoenix is one of the few favored spots of the world where a flood is usually a beneficence, worth almost its weight in gold. What damage there was lay in the breaking of the canal banks, not a very serious matter, after all. All the main water gates along the canals were opened, and the water descended through the ditches to the multitude of farms, already well soaked from the rain fall. The water as it came from the Verde valley north of the Phoenix mountains which form a half-barrier along the north side of the Salt River valley, was heavy with silt. The silt was spread thinly and evenly over thou sands of acres. It was a very easy and perfect fertili zation of the farm lands, adding greatly to their pro ductivity. This is the kind of automatic and natural fertiliza tion which occurs in the valley of the Kile river, in Egypt. It is a wonderful aid to the farmers of Arizona and such floods the farmers welcome. While Mexican commissioners are trying to show what great strides the Carranza government has made in restoring order in Mexico, wouldn't it be embarras sing if Pancho made good his threat to capture Chi huahua City? Greece has sounded the entente allies on war terms and the allies have made a hollow sound. In other words, there's nothing in it for Greece. o Why is it that every time the Russian westward ad vance is "checked," the Austro-Hungarians fall back a day or so later? o The report of the abdication of king Constantine of Greece seems to have been founded on hope rather than on fact. o Leadville has "scooped" the United States on snow Leadville is perfectly welcome to keep the honor and the snow. From testimony before jadge Landis, it appears the aged millionaire Morrison should have taken out burg lary insurance. o Great Britain's reply on mail interferences is as much delayed as the mails themselves. As predicted, George A. Olney did give Gov. G. W. P. Hunt of Arizona a hard race for the Democratic nomination for the governorship, but Hunt won for the reason that, despite the most intense opposition from most business and professional men, from prac tically all the industries and from every daily news paper in Arizona, 3000 more than enough people voted for him. Every argument which could possibly be truthfully brought against Gov. Hunt to prevent his renomination was produced. It was shown that taxes had increased nearly 25 per cent, in some cases much more, during Gov. Hunt's incumbency. Letters were printed wherein eastern interests stated they were ready to invest in Arizona mines and other enterprises, but not while present conditions obtained. But Gov. Hunt was re nominated. Organized labor voted for him practically solidly. He has always been strong with the laboring men, and his position in the Clifton strike made him stronger still. The thousands of Arizona Democrats who work for wages are for Hunt, no matter what is said against him. They feel he is their friend, and he is just that. He is a better friend to the miners, building trades, and the day laborers generally than they have ever before known. At least, he is more prompt to champion any cause of labor. The trouble is, Gov. Hunt is not equally a friend to the farmer, the real estate dealer, the small grocer, the mining company and the salaried man. It is possible the laboring men of Arizona a little over estimate the value of Gov. Hunt's one sided friend ship. A great many more miners, for instance, would be at work in Arizona today had not the governor's policies and those of his clan scared out of the state the men who had money to develop mining clairnr. Many another line of business is suffering likewise. It is not necessary to give capital an unmerited prefer ment in order to encourage it to invest and assist in a state's development But it is necessary to make cap ital feel it will not be received as an enemy, to be preyed upon through over taxation or subjected to op pressive laws. A good man went down to defeat in George Olney. He would have made a good governor. He was the best the Democrats had to offer. There is this to be said: The thousands of Democrats who supported him and who are so bitterly opposed to Gov. Hunt, still have exactly their kind of man for whom to vote. He is Tom Campbell, the Republican candidate for governor. Mr. Campbell is a Republican first and last, but he is also a straight forward, level headed Arizonan, without fads, foibles or feuds, who, if elected, will administer the affairs of the state impartially and will be a friend of all classes instead of merely the friend of one. o The Democrats of Maine had not learned the call of the Moose. The conferences of the American and Mexican com missioners at New London, Conn, are proceeding as harmoniously as a honeymoon, without a single point of difference, so far as the public is informed by the statements issued from day to day. The whole pro gram is cut and dried. Everyone has a fair idea what is to be done and that complete agreement on the course of both the United States and Mexico was practically assured before the commissions met The daily con ferences consist on the presentment, by one side, of a series of statements concerning Mexico with which th other does not disagree. They read like a narrative of Mexican revolutionary history. The discussions, so called, appear to be limited to assertions and assents. When everyone knows that the United States has long since determined to accept the declarations of the Carranza government at their face value and to with draw the Pershing expedition from Mexico, the wonder is that there should be so much palaver. Every word issued for publication from Washington or New Lon don shows plainly the course of the United States has been long agreed upon. The best possible construction is placed on every phase of Mexican internal and ex ternal affairs. Every effort is made either to minimize or to ignore altogether bandit activities. Though Villa has revived his activities and is causing the Mexican authorities themselves frank concern, Washington does not officially regard him as in existence. His name is not mentioned. The activities of his men bring not a word from the state department. The commissioners for the United States accepted the statement of the Mexican commissioners that the Car ranza government is in full control of Mexico, and at the same time appeared not surprised when the com missioners proposed that strong forces, both of Mexico and the United States, guard the American border. If Mexico is all "peace and quiet," why the necessity for this guard? The American commissioners seemed to see nothing strange in the suggestion that United States troops should protect their own country from citizens of another country of which its government claims to be in control. That a government should be in control and still unable to control did not seem contradictory. It is a farcical performance, the whole series of New London conferences. Better end it and withdraw the Pershing expedition, since the administration is de termined to withdraw it, anyhow, and let Mexican af fairs drift along, as they have drifted in the past, and as they will continue to drift so long as no strong guiding hand is in evidence. It must command the admiration of every general to see the way General Motors advances day by day. o The more work and the higher wages, the more strikes. That is the way it seems to go.
