'1 - THE OWL T'LEFT-BmilXD iin. - Tho- hour was sad, I left the maid, A llno'riifo farewell taking, tTor aighs and tears my steps delayed, 1 thought her heart was breaking; In hurried words her name 1 .litest, 1 breathed the vows that bind me, And to my heart in anguish pressed The girl I left behind me. Then to the South we lore away, To win a name in atorVi And there, where dawns the sun of day. There dawned our sun of glory; Both biased in noon on Richmond's height, Where in the post assigned me I shared the glory of that fight, Sweet girl I left behind me. The hope of final victory Within my bosom burning Is mingling with sweet thoughts of thee And of my fond returning; But should I ne'er return again, Still worth thy love thou'lt find me, Dishonor's breath shall never stain The name I'll leave behind me. Full many a name our 6mtier bore Of former deeds of daring. But they wero of tho days of yore, In which we had no sharing; But now, our laurels freshly won, With the old ones shall entwined be, Still worthy of our sires each son, Sweet girl I left behind me. "Forward, march!" Grimly but alertly, with rifles tilted acrosa their right shoulders, more than 900 hhakl-clad men and officers of the 2d In fantry, N. Q. P., swung In quick time out of the armory doors, on Broad street below Squsquelianna avenue, this morning. Wheel. Ing northward Into Broad street In column of platoons, the marching soldiers proceeded to the Philadelphia and Beading Railway yards at Broad and Huntingdon streets. A special train of 30 passenger coaches was watting on a siding. Company by com pany the troopers passed Into the cars. Their equipment was stowed away, their guns stacked. Line and staff officers board, cd the cars reserved for them. A few mln. utes of watting, and then the start for Mt Gretna In response to the Government's call for defenders was on.

General Jacinto B. Trevino, Carranza commander at Chihuahua City, made this assertion todny in denying reports spread broadcast in the United States that American prisoners taken in the battle at Carrizal had been hanged. "The prisoners have not been hanged, nor will they be," he said. "That is not the custom of a civilized country." By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN WASHINGTON, Juno 24. The war spirit ran high In the nation's cnpltnl to day. News of tho ambushing nnd virtual massacre of Troops C and K, of tho 10th United States Cavalry, has aroused official dom to a pitch unknown since tho battle ship Maine was destroyed In Havana har bor. On all sides a demand for Bpeedy re prisals was voiced, and the Administration has set moving the machinery that may bring a completo break with Mexico by the middle of next week. The drat action was to demand through Consul General Rodgers nt Mexico City tho release forthwith of tho American troopers taken prisoners in the fighting at Carrizal, the exact number of whom is not officially known. Tho second was to decide that any ofTer of mediation that may be made on behalf of the Latin-American nations must be re jected by the United States. The questions at Issue now are questions of national honor, affecting the lives of Americans, the Inva slon of American territory and outrages upon American property. None of these are matters that can bo submitted to mediation In tho opinion of President Wilson and his advisers. MOMENTOUS CONFERENCE. These decisions were reached at a confer ence that lasted more than an hour, partic ipated In by President Wilson, Secretary of atate wwslng and Secretary of War Baker, At the same time a general plan to be fol lowed was considered, but was not adopted pending the receipt of additional reports from General Pershing and officers who actually participated In the Carrizal mas sacre. It has been definitely determined to hold General Carranza responsible for the at tack upon the Americans at Carrizal. He will be called sharply to account as soon as the complete report of what transpired at that place Is at hand, and will be ordered to punish all responsible officials Immediately. No satisfaction la expected at the hands of tho Frist Chief and his associates, and the program for the further course of action Is being worked out In the several departments. But that the State Depart ment is holding back on certain portions of Its program developed when It was learned that Secretary Lansing had been Inquiring anxiously when the National Guard would be ready for service.
