"DRILL, DRILL, DRILL"
By CARL L. ZEISDERG
Evtnlno Ltdacr Staff Corrttvondrnt
EL PASO, Tex., July 10. Major General
Charles M. Clement, commander of the 7th
or 'Pennsylvania division of tho National
Guard, arrived hero early today after having
been delayed at Sweetwater by a freight
wreck, and nssumed command of tho Penn
sylvania troops. At tho same moment the
troops from tho Keystone State began their
first routlno camp duty, which wilt be con-
j tlnued for ten-vdays, preparatory to the
greatest maneuvers ever known In this coun-
j try In time of peace.
1 The maneuvers, which consist of 18 dis
tinct programs, will bo under tho super
Vision of a regular armyofncor, who will
, drill tho guardsmon In all tho lessons of
modern warfare Six months at least will
bo required to finish the course of making
hardened soldiers out of citizens. It Is ex
pected. ' Tho utttmato object of tho great assem
blage of troops along the border becamo
known when tho news was flashed from
camp to camp. Not tho conquest of Mex
ico, but the making of an army, Is tho
objoct of tho concentration of troops hero.
, With .tho arrival of General Clement,
' who brought with htm tho last battorled of
, Pennsylvania artillery, tho Pennsylvania
troops assumed formidable proportions. Tne
first artlllory trains of tho 1st Pennsylvania
Light Flold Artillery slipped Into town
tinder tho cover of night.
All of Pennsylvania's troops destined for
tho border are now oncampod here or aro on
tho way from Mount Gretna. Tho 4 th Bri
gade, under Gonoral O'Neill, and tho cavalry
To somewhere en route
General Clement established hadquarters
at Washington Park, whero tho engineers'
battalion will bo moved. Its fourth move.
Tho grind began today for Philadelphia's
1st Brigade Soldlors encamped at tho foot
of Drab Mount FrnnkllriT'whllo their newly
arrived brothers from the western part of
the Stato put their houses In order. "
Drill, drill, drill will bo order of tho day
from now on until no. ono knows when.
Ask even a high ofllcer, and ho will tell
you perhaps Irreverently '"I don't know how
long we will bo hero. Nobody knows but
God. and Ho won't tell."
Tho arrival of General Logan and the
10th and 18th Iteglmcnts yostcrday com
pleted tho 2d Brigade, tho 10th Ileglment
already having pltchod Its tents. Tho now
comcrs today aro orcctlng their squad tents
on tho Mesa. Their skins too are turning
red, and they, too, are chasing away the
horned toads, centipedes, llzzards, snakes
and other creatures that Inhabit tho sandy
tableland.
Thoro aro now somo 0G00 Pennsylvania
troops In camp. The western Pennsylvania
regiments are unusually strong, nvoraglng
1200 men. Tho strengths of the Philadel
phia regiments comprising tho 1st Brigade
are: First Regiment, 66 officers and 873
men : 2d Ileglment, CO officers and 978 men.
ana 3U itcglmcnt, 63 officers and 872 men.
COLONEL ALLEN CONGRATULATED.
The 3d Ileglment today received Its sec
ond Injection of typhoid prophylaxis, this
V precaution having been taken with the 1st
and 2d Regiments yesterday. Regular
army officers congratulated Colonel Allen on
the appearance, of the lBt Regiment camp.
The drill that began today for tho 1st
Brigade is not a continuation of tho light
drill that has been a part of camp routine
lnco the arrival of three regiments. It Is
full drill, an earnest school, In which all the
lessons of soldiers which tho boys have been
taught in their armories and In camp will
be repeated until the evolutions become ma-chlno-liko
and second nature Sighting and
aiming rifles will bo an Important course In
the school, the faculty chairs of which aro
filled by the company officers.
An acute problom, solved for tho boyB of
the 3d Regiment by Colonel Kemp and
Captain Frank A. Warner, of Company A.
Is being solved today for other rpc-lmpntu
Tho problem Is: With what aro the boys
going to buy their soap, toothbrushes,
candy, cigarettes and llttlo Incidentals when
they are broko or ''badly bent" nnd-payday
Is two weeks away? The solution Is the
regimental exchange or store.
Tho 3d Regiment's exchange has opened
and is doing a rushing credit business with
coupon, books purchased by the penniless
soldiers on their personal notes, payable
on payday. The profits of the exchange go
to the meas funds of the various companies,
according to the amount spent by each.
The 1st nnd 2d Regiments will open
tores soon.
Another problem, equally vexatious, is
being solved by the postofflce officials. For
days many piles of mall sacks have lain
unopened In the postofflce because there
were no Government employes to sort the
mall. Wires are being worked between here
and Washington, while some, soldiers are
wondering If they have been renounced by
uicir jarmiios.
VILLA, IN FUNDS, GETS
DESERTERS; MAY ATTACK
Funston Informed of Bandit Chief's
Activities To Keep Close Watch
WASHINGTON. July 10. Allegations
that Villa again "is in funds" and is at
tracting great masses of deserters from
Carranza's army to his cause are reaching
the State. Department today from many
sources. So far these reports are uncon
firmed, but they have been considered of
sufficient Importance to have them trans
mitted to the War Department to be sent
to General Funston for his information.
It la realized here that the great bulk of
Trevlno's army is dissatisfied because they
have been prevented from attacking the
American border forces, and no attempt Is
made to disguise the fact that any real
success by Villa at this time would be dan
gerous. It Is considered likely here that if the
Carranzlsta forces are unable to hold Villa
in the south be will attempt another raid
directly against the International boundary,

Bandit Leader Reported

Chief Carranza
BATTLE STILL MYSTERY
Eb PASO, Tex., July 10. "Pnnclio"
Villa nRoln nsplres to be tho ruler of Mex
ico, nnd, according to word which reached
his agents hero today, the renegade chief
tain regards tho de facto Government of
Don Venustlano Carranza as a thing of the
past
Villa's border ngents are conferring with
the representatives of American arms and
amunltlon plantB on behalf of their leador.
Half a dozen salesmen are on the scene now
and It la moro than likely that rifles and
cartridges are finding their way across the
border In tho same mysterious way they
always have made tho passage.
Several notorious gun-runners, men who
mako It their business to smuggle supplies,
are In El Paso, and apparently no successful
effort has been made by the authorities to
check their activities.
With Villa In command of the district
roughly drawn along tho lino of Parral,
Jlmlnez and Torrcon, border experts con
sider that tho greatest outlaw of modern
times Is looming up as a strong contender
for tho scat of power In Mexico City. Thoy
havo felt for months that tho career of Car
ranza must Boon end and Villa's military

rehabilitation Is taken by them as a. fAlr
Indication that the revolution has hrrtved
VILIjA'S GOVERNMENT.
Villa's plans are said to have gone too
far that he already has planned his Cabinet
and decided on a form of government.
"The first law of Mexico will bo that no
Americans may enter 'the country" was
Villa's first word to his agents bn the bor
der. "Once before tho gringo sharks took
everything I had and the gringo Govern
ment betrayed me. It shall not happen
again "
Do facto Government ofTlclnln busily dented
today that Villa was oven In the field. They
denied aUo that Villa had cut tha northern
army of Mexico off from its baso at Mexico
City.
But It Is tho habit of Mexican officials to
make denials of this sort the more stren
uously as the facts In tho case grow tho
moro Bolld.
The ofDclals have remained sllpnt on tho
fate of tha 2000 Carranzlsta cavalry who
wero reported to havo mado a surprise at
tack on tho Vllllsta forces under General
Callxto Contrcras. It Is known that these
2000 left Chihuahua City.
..Contrrrnn, Incidentally, Is said to have
ben offered ono of the chief positions In
VlTtft's new government. It Is Interesting
to nolo that General Luis Herrera, tho
"gringo hater" who loft Chihuahua City
three months ngo vowing to send Villa's
severed head to Consul Andres Garcia In
El Paso, has left tho district of Villa's
activities for Mexico City.
One of the main difficulties of tho Car
ranza Government Is a shortage of fuel for
Its railroads. A good lump of coal Is rated
of moro value thon ono of the Carranza
peso notes. When tho American Govern
ment sent to Cardial for the bodies of Its
dead. It was forced to pay threo carloads
of coal for the privilege.
PERSHING MAY MOVE.

That tho movement was stopped and may

from Columbus, which reported -thai a atf

Pershing's base, loaded with all necessities
for tho expeditionary1 force.
Further reports were awaited today front

Mexican outlaws. It was known that a
troop of cavalry had been started for tfie
scene of tho latest raids to rescue threa
Americans reported captured by the ban
dits. Thirty miles below OJInsga, threatened
by Vllllstas, It was known that a -war ,
party of approximately 1000 bandits was
gathered nt La Mula Pass. The presence
of tho bandits there was reported bn Sat
urday, at which tlmo It was believed they
would move within 2 hours of OJInaga,
It Is said now that they aro Awaiting In
structions and reinforcements from Villa.
GUARD EAGER TO FIGHT,
Any sort of disturbance that threatened
action Is Joyfully halted by the National
Guard camps and they view enthusiasti
cally tho prospect of a clash with tha
notorious "Pnncho."
Regular army officers remarked tha
splendid showing of the 16th Pennsylvania
which arrived at Camp Pershing wltMone
of Its complement on tho sick list this
after a week passed on rails. The 6th Penn
sylvania Artillery wns expected lata today.
Tho routine of settling Into camp has
been accomplished by tho State guardsmen
and thotr tents make a majestlo spread in
tho shadow of old Mount Franklin. General
Funston, It Is understood, has Issued orders
that before tho week Is over tha guards
will begin a series of training drills that
will harden them to climatic comlltlons-and
prepare them for nny sort of orders.
