FRIDAY EVENING, ' ■ „ „
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 14, 1916.
I The march to Guerrero was one of
the hardest of the cavalry's ex
ploits on account of intense cold. The
officer who brought the dispatches
was with the machine gun platoon,
but acted as a messenger during the
fighting. He said the march upon
Guerrero. 55 miles, began about noon
of Tuesday, March 28, proceeding un
til nearly dark, when a brief halt was
w ' as mac ' e - dark the ten troops
of the Seventh in this exploit resumed
their march. Late at night it be
came very cold, and when the men
finally reached San Antonio, about 12
miles from Guerrero, they were all
shivering. At San Antonio, there was
a long stop, while the guides were be
ing found. During this wait some of
the men boxed with each other to keep
warm. Others laid their ears against
the necks of their horses to stop them
from aching. Finally after a delay
which made it impossible to reach
Guerrero before daylight the march
HALF MILLION IN
IMPROVEMENTS
Carlisle Building Operations
Will Include Hospital and
Indian School Structures
Special to the Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., April 14. Building
operations involving tlie expenditure
ot about a quarter of a million have
been or will be completed during the
present year In Carlisle. They include
the erection of a new hospital, im
provements to industrial plants and to
the Indian School buildings and resi
dence changes.
The most important work of the
year is the construction of the new
$50,000 Carlisle Hospital, now prac
tically completed which will be dedi
cated this month. Funds for the con
struction were raised by private sub
scription in the town and country.
Additions and alterations costing be
tween $40,000 and $,">0,000 have been
begun by tho Frog, Smith and Manu
facturing company, the largest tnanu-
I facturers of the town. The changes
are principall in the manganese cast
ing department. This division of the
company is engaged in filling a large
government contract for special
bucket lips and other steel work for
the Panama Canal operations. Fur
ther additions are contemplated dur
ing the year with an increase of the
capacity output of 20 per cent.
Work will be begun in two weeks
on the construction of a modern new
laundry building for C. L. Strayer,
formerly of York. The place will cost
upwards of $20,000 and takes the
place of a century old road house. Dr.
J. M. Houston has begun work on the
razing of a property in the central
section of town to be replaced by a
modern store and office building cost
ing $20,000. New dwelling houses
costing close to $15,000 will be built to
replace a nail factory over a century
old which has just been razed.
Development of tho Mooreland sec
tion of town calls for extensive build
ing. J. Raymond Hemminger, chor
ister of the Nicholson-Hemminger
evangelistic party has purchased a
ten-acre plot and will erect, a new
residence at a cost of about $15,000 in
all. Other houses in the section
will involve an expenditure of $30,000.
Business changes in various sections,
now in progress will cost about SIO,OOO
in round figures. The Indian school
changes involve an expenditure of
some SB,OOO. Building permits for
minor changes keep Burgess Morris
busy. David Weiser. Leiuoyne, has
the contract for the iron work at the
new addition to the Frog Shops.
MEETING OF BROTHERHOOD
Special to the Telegraph
Halifax, Pa., April 14. A meeting
of the Halifax Brotherhood will be
held in the United Brethren Church
on Sunday afternoon at 3.15 o'clock.
An interesting program is being pre
pared, a feature of which will be a
debate: "Resolved, That tho Bible
should be taught in the Public School."
Affirmative, the Rev. C. E. Ret tew and

erick C. Smith and W. Leroy Brooke.
was resumed. It was so dark that
houses one hundred feet from the
road could not be distinguished from
the background of hills and moun
tains. This made marching slow.
Were Close to Villa
Although they did not hear of It
that night, some of the officers of. the
Seventh were informed a few daya-iatu
erwards that Villa was believed to
have been at a house within two miles
of San Antonio the night when the
American column passed on its way 1
to Guerrero.
As the Americans took their posi
tions at three points about Guerrero,
the officer stationed with the machine
guns said that he could look down
into the city, which was spread over <i
wide expanse. From the plaza and :
from most of the houses he saw men
running and everywhere horses were
being saddled hurriedly. Before the
American surrounding movement was
complete two columns of men rode out
of Guerrero. Each of them carried a
Mexican flag, the same as the Carran
za troops bear. Word went along the
American lines not to fire on the Mex
ican flag. Two captains, JamesFechel
and Rush Wells were sent forward to
demand the identity of the two col
umns. Captain Fechel received no
reply to-his demand, but Captain Wells
was fired on.
Snipe as They Scatter
The Americans swung into action as
fast as their tired horses would take
them, while the Villa band scattered, |
all in flight, some in twos and threes,
sniping as they retreated from rock
to rock. The Villa forces, this mes
senger said, formed three times as if
to make a stand against the Americans
but gave up each time without a tight
and continued their retreat. The Am
ericans followed, riding a short dis
tance and then dismounting to (Ire.
It was difficult for the Americans to I
overtake tho Villa band because of the
long march the cavalrymen had made
to reach Guerrero. For this reason
the machine gun platoon was unable
to get into action at very close range.
From a hill these guns swept an area
of about 2,000 yards wide and 2,000
yards deep. Observers with the guns
saw horses in the distance lying prone
where the guns had reached them.
The machine guns also followed the
retreating bandits, but on account of
their long march, had difficulty in
keeping up with the fresh horses of
the Villa followers.
A cavalry officer who has been out
riding the trails of the Wandits, re
turning to-day, had not tasted bacon
in fifteen days. His troops did not
meet any of the bandits but partici
pated in many long chases which help
ed to run the Mexicans into contact
with other American forces.
Old Sook Highly ITized
"My most prized article of baggage."
the officer said, "I think, was an old
sock. When I had coffee, I kept it in
this sock. When I had tobacco and
no coffee, 1 turned the sock the other
side out and tilled it with tobacco.
One side for each, but not enough of
either to keep even one side working
all the time.
"Yesterday T obtained some matches,
took them while the other fellow
wasn't looking, because 1 knew he
would not need them half as much as
we did out on the trail."
His men and himself, this officer
said, had worn out much of their
clothing, according to ordinary stand
ards of wear, in their hard rides.
They, like thousands of other cavalry
men were patching their shoes with
the extra leather from their stirrups,
which made excellent sole leather.
"This is the only suit of clothes I
have along." the officer said, "and I
<vore out the seat of my trousers a
week ago. So I made a new seat out
of my shelter half."
Two men used one tent and each
carries half, culled his shelter half.
These tents are about a yard high
at one end, sloping to the ground at
the other end. Most of the fast riding
cavalry advance columns are without
such tents at present, having used
them for other purposes, or discarded
them to lighten burdens when they
got the trail of some squad of Villa
bandits.
I "A good many shelter tents in our.
[force." the officer continued, "have
I ben used to renew trouser seats."
