lfg - - SWELLS INCOME BY BORDER DUTY, BUT ASKS RELIEF Need of Thorough Inquiry Before Helping Shown by Queer Case i INNOCENT MUST SUFFER By CARL L. ZEISBERG Evenlno l,t&otr Staff Cerrttpondmt EL PASO, Tex., Aug. 4. Just'why dls charges for Pennsylvania soldiers with de pendent famltles tiro not being Issued faster, and why relief Is not being dispensed more rapidly to deserving- families In Philadelphia, developed today. It Is the old story of the Innocent suffering for the transgressions of the guilty. Here was a soldier who went to tha bor der, leaving behind a family and nn Income of $1080 a year, which ceased when he donned his uniform. Relief for his family was requested and granted. In checking up the list of dependents the Colonel of his regi ment discovered tho fact that by giving up his position this soldier had more than doubled his Income. Ito li a captain with a salary of $2100 a. year. Two case3 came to light today In which money hns been paid to families of men not In camp here, Tho nmazlng facts were discovered when requests came asking for the discharges of these men. Their enlist ments expired at Mount Gretna and they disappeared, for alt that their families know and for all that their formor officers know. MOID INQUIRY ASKED. Rigid Investigation of all cases has been asked of the Citizens' Relief Commltteo as ft result. The Second Regiment took a 10-mllo practice hlko northward on the Alamogordo road today, Led by Colonel Turner and Majors Plckorlng and Casey, on horseback, tho khakt columns Bnting along the dusty road looking for all the world like regulars. Today was circus day In tho First and Third Regiments, whoro tho 88 mules which each regiment received from the Govern ment, were Initiated Into tho mystcrlcB of .pulling army wagons. Each regiment has jet to draw 49 horses and 7 mules to com plete Its complement of animals.

Tho officers, who will attend "school" seven hours a day, aro divided Into two classes, those of tho Sec ond, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth and Eighteenth Regiments forming tho first class, and those of tho First, Third, Tenth, Sixteenth and cavalry regiments forming the second. Mechanicians from the plant of tho manu facturers demonstrated tho working of tho new Lewis guns.

ZEISBERG Kventno Ltdaer Staff Correspondent EIj TASO, Tex., Aug. 4 "Heehaw" nt a Pennsylvania guardsman or say "mules" to htm, and either he will grin from ear to ear or he will try to "land you one" on the car. It 'all depends on whether he saw or felt tho mule. More genuine humor of the roughest sort of slapstick variety hns been Injected Into tho National Ouard camp life by tho mule than by any other one thing. There Is ho quiet humor In a mule until tho dust of battle has settled; nnd then, nine times out of ten, there Is a diabolical twlnkto In the mule's eyo Here Is a typical, harrowing exampte, with John Page, of Ambulance Company No 2, of Philadelphia, aa tho hero or victim. Ho Is a guard at tho House of Correc tion, nnd his strenuous civilian Job prob ably was the underlying motlvo In his selec tion as "mulo skinner" for tho doctors, Tho other actors "bad actors," they were two mules, Antitoxin, a big riding mulo, nnd Arsenic, a little pack mulo, both very appropriately named. Inasmuch as Antitoxin is powerful and Arsenic Is of a venomous nnture, ANTITOXIN I1ALKS. Page wanted Antitoxin to obey orders. Just what theso orders wero is not essential. Tho fact was Antitoxin didn't want to obey any orders, no matter what they were; If they had beon to cat six rounds of alfalfa, Antitoxin would have balked. Unaware that Antitoxin's wicked mind was In such a deplorable state, Pago approached tho Mis sourtan affably, agreeably, then with sur prise nnd Anally with firm decision. Ho spanked Antitoxin as a father might chas tise a child. Tho next moment Pago found himself facing the dangerous end of Ar senic, who was standing 12 H feet from Antitoxin. Ho doesn't remomber how he got thoro. "Well, what are you doing here?" pleas' antly Inquired Page. There was no answer from Arsonlc, who was meditating on tho evils of life. "You grecn-llvored, red-eyed, whopper Jawed, long-cared sea turkey," continued Page. "Tako thatl" And he whacked that portion of Arsenic's anatomy correspond ing to that of a cow from which butcher"! carve rump steaks. VICTORY FOR PENNST. Witnesses say that for the next few minutes Page resembled a shuttlecock as he traveled with great rapidity between the busy rear batteries of Antitoxin nnd ArBenlc. But when he recovered from his dizziness, ltko that woll-known Amorlcan sea captain, he had Just begun to fight, and when tho fray had ended one of those rare victories scored by Pennsylvania over Mis souri had been registered. Two days was the time It required Cap tain Fuller's and Captain Bradford's engi neers to conquer their Istuo of long-eared animals. Vory Tow of tho engineers had ever come In porsonal contact with any thing more closely resembling a mulo than a tripod. Tho result may be Imagined. Dynamite, his brother. Dynamite II, Tri nitrotoluene their cousin, and Nitroglyc erin XIV thero aro 27 Nitroglycerins scattered throughout the regiments left camp one day without permission. It was tho last straw In a sorles of outrages. The entire battalion of engineers was called out. They found the mules at the clone of day out on the horizon, fraternizing with horned tonds and prairie dogs. Thero was a fierce battle and the mules were brought back to camp all but Dynamite II. He, perhaps, li on tho next horizon grazing on cactus and limestone. It Is not only the mule, but his diminutive relative, the burro, that has the devil born within his skin. This small model of a mule has nil the mulish qualities under his quiet exterior. He Is not na violent as a mule, but Is as tile ns the whisky for which he may be bought. Two dollars and a half or a drink of "llcker" Is tho prlco demanded by the Mexicans who traffic In burros. The burro's attitude Is unconsciously hos tile. Terhaps the donkey owned by Ser geant Ted Furlong, of tho Second City Troop now Troop D meant no harm when he ate Joseph P. McOulro's leggings, but he caused McGuIre to be late at roll call Just the same He ato the leggings In the same spirit that he consumed a case of valuable cantnloupes and a library nt magazines and newspapers which some thoughtful mother had Bent to her son. That spirt was that of Inherent wickedness. The army mulo and his mind are not pure fiction. The boys from Philadelphia who were detailed as "mule skinners" formerly only read about the mule and his habits. Now they know.

SOLDIERS, AS MEXICANS, ALARM CAMP; PAY FOR JOKE WITH ARREST Sergeant and Private, With Wide Sombreros and Spanish Talk, Fool Guard Spend Hours in Deten tion Tent Camp Notes By CARL .'fetilMD Lrdocr EIj PASO, Aug. 4. Practical Jokes In a big body of men spring up In Camp Stewart like tho whirlwinds on tho plain. They range from a onc-mnn affair, like the put ting of a hit of cucumbor cactus In a man's cot. to a Joko perpetrated upon nn entlro company, or a regiment, or n camp. The Joke that was carried out more per fectly than any other was staged by Quartermaster Sergeant Wnlter Ilaugcrty and Chnrles "Roddy" Hosklns. of Company F. of the Third Regiment. For two hours they played nn Innocent Joko on tho com pany with tho slight effort of shrugging their shoulders and muttering a few Mot lean words. Tho plot began when Haugorty and Hoi kins, who can speak SpanlBh fluently, some how obtained a couple of broad hats, such as the Mexican peons wonr, nnd overalls. They waited for dusk and then went out to the guard llneB, where their comrndes In Company F were on duty. It wasn't long before they wero brought to a stop by a stentorian "Halt! Who goes thero?" Tho alert sentries, Barney Feeney nnd Joo Wheoler, had seen tho two figures loitering where they apparently had no business and came on tho double quick. They found two seemingly sullen "splgs," with no ex planation other than a shrug of the shoul ders and unintelligible words. "Hay mucho polvo," murmured Haugerty. mxz GETS MACHINE GUNS VwX!nf A tu Ht.vi'-i&A&..i-JbtAAi t L. ZEISBERG Btaff Correspondent "nnchlllados," declared Hosklns. "Vo a ensa. Chill con carnc, scnor." It was too much. Fconey nnd "Wheeler called tho corporal of tho guard. "Hay muy mal plso," remonstrated Haugherty. "Hsto oscuro, caballero." "To tho Jug with you," decided tho cor poral Fconey nnd Wheeler each grabbed n surly "Mex" by tho shoulder nnd marched thorn to tho guard tent, where the pris oners were searched. Huddled In a corner of tho tent, Haugerty and Hosklns continued tho farco until they were tired of It. And then what a drub bing they got I Tho drubbing wns the price they paid for tho laugh they still hao on their comrades Some of tho Jokes aren't played by sol diers, but on soldiers. While the Phila delphia boys wero "tenderfeet" down hero before their faces wero tanned the townspeople had a sourco of quiet fun. "Never trust a Moxlcan," ono respect ablo citizen gravely told a Sixth Regiment lad. "Above all, never let ono get behind you " Tho believing newcomer complained of dizziness when he returned from his leave In town. Thero nro some 40,000 or 60,000 Mexicans In HI Paso.

These shoeboxes filled with bananas (also cigar cttes, socks and pie) Invariably break open nnd Invariably In that enso are refused by tho regimental postmaster.
