AS CITY'S TROOPS
Philadelphians Achieve Tri
umph in Fine Showing
at Parade
WIN OFFICERS' PLAUDITS
By CAUL L. ZEISBERG
Kvenlnp Ledger Staff Correspondent
The temperature at El Paso was 72
degrees nt 8 o'clock this morning. At
the same hour the temperature in this
' city was 7(i degrees.
Kli l'ASO, Tex., July 14. t'lilltulclphl.i
bowed Its citizen soldiers to the regular
army today In tho first military spectacle
to bo staffed since tlio National Guard as
sembled here. Philadelphia scored a tri
umph. To tho r.ipld-IIro music of Its bands, the
first bilgmlo paraded from Camp Pershing
to fort Jillss and back ngaln while tho
crowds llnliiR tho roadway cheered. UrlRa
Jler General Bell, V. S. A. district com
mander, reviewed tho loiiff lino of khuUI a
It swung past nt Fort Bliss.
It was triumph for Brigadier General
Price, commander of tho Philadelphia
forces, who rodo nt tho bend of Ills troops
It wns a remarkable exhibition of disci
pline on tho part of 3000 militiamen under
him. A bcant week In camp, they marched
llko veterans. Up nnd down, up mid down
swung their legs, llko so many pistons
conned by mechanism.
Small wonder that tho coldly rrlticnl eyes
of the regular nnny ofllcors nnd privates
wnltlng nt Kort Bliss for tho test quickly
were supplanted by nods of npprovnl nnd
tho Impulsho clapping of hnnds. Tho first
crdcnl, moio terrlblo than tho ordeal of
battle, win passed with colors Hying.
Ucgulars were the tanned soldiers march
ing by to nil nppcarancca nnd to nil In
tents nnd purposes.
Tho gallant 2d Regiment, Its battlo
streamers flowing from tho regimental
standards, had tho post of honor as tho
senior command In tho array of Infantry
. men that marched to recognition as real
soldiery.
Headed by Its band, tho regiment fol
lowed closo behind tho staff of General
Price. Gcnernl Price nnd the brlgndo field
ofllcors wcro mounted on capering pollco
horses, which sensed
responded to It.
Tho general's steed.
Chestnut street fame,
tho challenge and
Handsome Dan, of
never nrched his
listening neck moro proudly. Tho black
beauty was conscious of tho honor of
leading tho way for tho npplauded troops.
Colonel Turner, of tho 2d, senior col
onel of tho Pennsylvania troops, rodo at
tho head of his rcgimont with his staff.
Ono battalion was missing. It was tho
' 2d, down somewhere In tho Big Bend
country on border patrol. Tho 2d was
followed by tho 1st Regiment, under Col
onel Alien, nnd tho 3d 1'eglmcnt under Lieu
tenant Colonel Kemp.
All tho brlgndo and regimental staff offi
cers wcro mounted on bay horses. Tho
three regiments, shouldering their brown
rllles llko old campaigners, tramped briskly
out Bliss street to Alamogordo street, lead
ing to tho low-lying buildings of the fort.
Barracks were emptied In n trlco us, tho
head of the column, with brassy music,
approached. General Bell and his stnlf In
full flVld uniforms were waiting at DIsrtlct
Headquarters. Time nnd again salutes wcro
heard ns a particularly well-drilled com
pnny marched past, kicking up the yellow
dust to tho strenuous "Ilep-hep-hep-hep" of
Its captain. And honestly npprolng were
tho smiles of tho bronzed regulars who filled
bnloonIu3 nnd open tpaces.
It does not detract from tho glory of
Philadelphia's troops to pay that they wcro
drlled, practiced and rehearsed for tho
display. It does not subtract ono leaf from
their laurels. Rather It adds to their tri
umph to say that tho supposedly raw tol
dlers, fed on nrmory drilling nnd a week
of camp hero and a week there, wcro put
through their p.icca llko so many automa
tons oven until lato yesterday ; that they
went to their cots last night with thoughts
of tho test on tho morrow uppermost In their
minds nnd that when io llltj summoned
them this morning It was tho parado nnd
not mess that wpped Into their heads.

"SWEETEST GIRL IN DIXIE" WINS
NORTHERN SOLDIER BOY'S HEART
Transportation of Troops Through That Country
to Mexico Has Had a Powerful Influence in
1 Eliminating' Sectional Spirit
"Round my heart tho sweetest girl in Dixie
Hy love's art hun cast a spell that's truly won me;
Shall wo part? Well, I should murmur 'Nixie,'
For she's my pearl, the sweetest yirl in dear old Dixieland."
By CARL L. ZEISBERG
rrnifiij Leducr Staff Correspondent
IZU PASO, Tex., July 14. A powerful
welding Influence between North nnd South
was tho transportation of tioops from the
North through Dixie to tho Koutluvpst bor
der. And doubly binding will bo tho return of
tho tanned nnd perhaps battle-scarred regi
ments to their homes above tho Mason and
Dixon line.
This Impressive fact speaks today more
forcibly than ever from tho tents that house
Northerners on this baking plain. It con
soles with the thought that If Carraiua
pever Is brought to book, if Villa foiever
continues his depredations, If tho mobilisa
tion of troops for mera practice results in
utter failure and a despondent outlook for
the future, nevertheless tho vast movement
of troops will have served a purpose tho
value of which cannot be estimated by sta
tistics until tbs marriage licenses are is
sued. It la a fact that a bewildering number
of marrlagoa between ts-orcuern boys an4
Southern girls will grow out of this multiple
expedition southwestward. Witness tho ar
ray of already burning missives that are
'.plying back anxl fortl) from the Blexican'
'border to nixie, from girlish hands in the
;Kouth to the manly eyes of soldiers in
;iexas military camiu, a voluminous corre
spondence, when considered In bulx, (hat
snransr from a. chance ouarter-of-an-hour
meeting on a railway station platform.
"SWKRTEST GIRL IN DIXIK.'"
Many a youthful soldier in camp here la
dreaming of a girl he met when tho engine
stopped for water at some tank town along
the line through Kentucky or Tenneasee.
There's George Krause, a Philadelphia lad,
tor example : he makeg no bone about the
.fact that's he's counting the dUys until the
2d Reglmtint moves Northward again
through Commerce, Tex., where a blue-eyed
lassie lives and' thinks of him. Tho other
side, the glrl'n Bide, of this war-time lovo
-was aptly shown by a remark made to a
bystander on the station platform at Tex
erkana. '"Oh, my heart went away 09 that train."
was the remark The lips that spoke trem
bled with a smllo. but the girl's eyes were
misty with, Uaia. The train bore a Phila
delphia regiment towoC' -J. Paso. ,

ARMY TO QUIT MEXICO
SLOWLY AS U. S. TALKS
PEACE, SAYS REPORT
President Wilson Accepts Cnr
rnnssa Plan to Appoint Joint
Commission to Adjust Dis
pute Between Nations
WITHDRAWAL HAS BEGUN
EL l'ASO, Tex., July M. l'nncho
Villa has sent an ultimatum to General
Trcvino, at Chihuahua City, demanding
the surrender of the city, according to
reports received here today. If the
town is not turned over nt the approach
of his forces he threatens to sack it
and execute the ollirers.
WASHINGTON. July 1 1. Piesluent Wil
son Is expected to nnnouiieo to tho Cabinet
his acceptance of one of General Cnrranz.a's
proposals for the settlement of tho Mexican
pioblem. Several suggestions were pre
sented to acting Secretary of Stato Polk by
Ambassador Designate Arredondo today nnd
wcro sent to tho President Mr. Polk
probably will tend for Mr. Arredondo this
afternoon nnd tell him Mr. Wilson's de
cision. Tho plan tho President Is expected to nc
ccpt piovldes for a Joint commission which
slinll suggest a settlement. The organiza
tion of such a commission would tnko sev
eral weeks, thus giving tho United States
tuno to 'watch developments In tho new
Vlllista rebellion.
Tho commission, It Is undeistod, will hnvo
only advisory powers, si that Its conclusions
will not be binding. Unless unforeseen
events Inturvene, however, both Mexico and
tho United States will ndhere to any plan
that respects tho MMcrelgnty of tho former
and gives ndequato protection to tho Amer
ican frontier.
During tho organization nnd deliberations
of this commission General Pershing will
remain In Mexico. Tho only element of
danger, therefore. Is tho possibility of nn
other nrmed clash such us that at Carrlznl,
duo to conflicting orders of subordinate
military commanders. Both Governments,
It Is declared, will maito every cffoit to
avoid tills.
Army olllccra who havo urged tho with
drawal of tho Pershing expedition saw In a
lepoit from General Pershing today now
reasons for ordering him home. Tho leport
wns mado public at tho War Department
1111 follows:
"Mexicans In this vicinity nlong railroad
reported wry friendly toward Ainei leans
last fow days Geneially believed troublo
between United States and Mexico settled.
Rainy season on In onrnest ; heavy rains
leported at various stations along lines
during last fow days. Shall report within
day or two tho effect of r.ilns on roads and
goncral prospects xcgardlng road main
tenance." Pershing depends entirely on motor
transports for food nnd supplies.
Reports from HI Paso say that General
Poi shins already has begun his with
drawal us the result of 1111 understanding
with tho Carranza Government.
Hundreds of hearts were lost and won lit
Memphis, St. I.ouls, Fort Worth wherever
tho troop trains stopped. Muny of theso
hearts will forget and the lovo that was
born of khaki and martial spirit and pretty
fcm I lea will die, but many will not and their
loves will enduro.
TH13 SOUTHERN' ACCENT."
Soldiers whose hearts are elsewhere, but
whoso bouls are hero in camp, are affecting
tho Southern accent. That Is significant.
"Havo you all seen Captain McCown?" a
smart-looking corporal drawls (he's from
Kensington). He Is thinking of the day
when ho will meet her- ugaln tho llttlo
brunette at Fulton, Ky. Perhaps It will
please her, and if it does ho may be bold
enough to say, "Will you all marry me,?"
Aside from the romances that found birth
in the transcontinental excursions, the trips
showed the North to the South and the
South to tho North. And both parties to
t.lila transaction were well pleased by the
thowlng thereof.
The Mayor and prominent citizens of
Amarlllo, Tex., -ave Invited, nay urged.
Lieutenant Colonel Kemp, of the 3d Regi
ment, to bring his boys through that town
again and tnd to stop over on their return.
"And for goodness' sake give us two days'
notice and we'll have a, parade," they told
him. "We'll show you what a Texas town
really can do. We like your boys; there
never was a liner lot."
WANT OUR BOYS BACK.
Memphis, too, and Xenla, O., have in
vited the regiment to 'stop over on its
homeward Journey. Colonel Turner's boys
In the Second, have pleaded with their com
mander to spend a day in Memphis when
they return.
"A day?" aske4 the Colonel "I wish it
coi'ld be a week!"
Tho whole-souled treatment of tho war
riors of the North ft the hands of the
women of the South has made friends for
the Southland where suspicion reigned
heretofore. -
"I always fought d' Southerners didn't
like us Northern guys." commented a
square-jawed youth of the 1st Regnent.
It's oil wrong Uee. I never saw d liWe.
