boxes for homes and business houses is
directly in keeping with a nation-wide
Jiovement to ''ciress up."
Winter will be compelled to soon i
withdraw lier forces and the Spring
dress-up campaign will sweep the
country as never before, because the ,
American people are glad of the op- 1
portunity to dress up and be in tune
with the nation's prosperity.
Many cities have heretofore united
in an effort to better general appear
ances, and not alone have residential
districts taken on a new garb of green,
but passers-by on the busiest tlior- >
oughfares pause to feast their eyes on j
patches of foliage that seem to grow I
right out of a bed of stone or brick.
Afler all, it's the individual home i
and business house that can do the
greatest work in transforming a hot !
summer city into an inviting abode;
and incidentally put to shame the
proud front yard flower beds of home
loving country folks.
If we all pull together—individually
and collectively—one bright May morn
ing will see a new city greet us as we
walk along—feeling that we have
placed Harrishurg among the front
ranks. Very truly yours,
J. W. BOWMAN,
President, Chamber of Commerce.

Cavalrymen Slip Unseen
Through Mountains; Beat \
Villa at His Own Game j
| General Pershing's Camp at Sun {
Geronimo Ranch, Mexico, April 3 by j
j Aeroplane and Motor Truck to Co- ]
Jlumbus, N. M., April 7.—News of the I
second Villa defeat, which reached j
hero late to-day was taken as a sharp |
, moral defeat, for the Villa forces, be- |
| cause the American cavalrymen hud )
j outwitted them at their own game,
l that of slipping unseen through moun- 5
l tain passes. The news came in after i
General Pershing had been out of j '
touch with General Funston for two: j
days, on account of bad weather and 1 1
a temporary shortage of gasoline, ;
which prevented the aero squad from j
carrying messages back to the wire- j
less at his Held headquarters.
Losses to the Villa forces, given as ! |
thirty or more dead and forty horses j
captured in the Aguascalientes light
are not considered of as much sig
nificance as the manner in which the
coup was executed.
Ever since the Villa forces retreat
ed from Guerrero, the presence of 1
Villa bands in some force between ]
Guerrero and Bachiniva, 55 miles [
; north of Guerrero, had been known,
i It also was evidence from the reports
|to headquarters that these Villa forces '
! under Manuel Lopez were inclined to 1
| rely for safety on their intimate
| knowledge of the* mountain passes. '
That they were relying on nothing else
than their speed in making for difficult
passes was indicated last Friday,
March 31, when two American scouts
inadvertently frightened the entire
band estimated at about 200 out of
the town of Bachiniva.
Duel Arouses Villa
The scouts got into a bloodshed duel
with two Villa outposts at Bachiniva.
The sound of the firing aroused the
Villa forces which at the same time
was camped in the plaza of the town.
They scrambled tor their horses and
with shouts of "los Amerlcanaos" rode I
out of the mountains in a hurry.
Saturday and Sunday two seperatel
columns of cavalrymen were on the j
trails which this band had taken. In
spite of faSit riding, or rather fast
j walking, for It is by walking and I
leading their horses most of the way
| that the cavalry gets around and some i
j times directly over the mountain tops,
; neither of these troops was in posl- [
tlon to catch the Villa forces.
Struck Unexpectedly
i Apparently that is what the bandits
j had expected, but they had not ac- |
counted for the unexpected striking |
power of the American cavalrymen, j
The Americans were npt. relying upon j
merely two columns of troops to box!
the Villa forces.
Below Bachiniva where either the j
Villa forces did not know of their
presence, or where they considered |
them too far away to be a menace,!
were 200 negro cavalrymen underj
Colonel W. C. Brown.
These negroes have the reputation <
of being among the best trailers in
j the army. They caught the Villa
I forces after the bandits had ridden
[only a few hours out of Bachiniva.)
' Like Dodd's fight at Guerrero, it was
| a case of quick work for a few mo- j
I ments with rifles and then a chase, j
The Americans did not stop to report i
what they had done. but. stayed on the :
II rail, so that to-night, two days after;
| the fight, no details have reached j
'headquarters camp, other than the!
bare report of a skirmish and the!
i story of two Mexican ranchmen giv- j
