REPORT SECOND BATTLE
RAGING FAR IN MEXICO
."Continued From First I'a go J
\nd it was considered probable that
.hese reinforcements had already
come in contact with the Carranzistas.
Between 6.000 and 7,000 Carransa
troops are concentrated in the Carri
zal district and border observers de
clared that General Trevino's an
nouncement that his troops would
continue to attack American soldiers
moving through the country meant
that the warfare opened by the Carri
zal ambush would continue.
Barbaric Warfare
While the entire border anxiously
awaited news of further fighting, the
details of General Pershing's first offi
ciai report on the Carrizal conflict
magnified the first vague story of
. -Mexican treachery that reached the
i'order and Indicated clearly that the
barbaric methods of Indian warfare
were responsible for the ambush of
the Americans.
The official report showed how the
heroic black troopers of the Tenth
Cavalry, trapped and almost helpless,
fought for five hours against over
whelming forces before they retreated.
They then began to make their way
slowly back to the base at Colonia
Dublan.
Can Moan Nothing Hut War
American officers here had'predicted
that the tone of Pershing's tone would
determine whether a new expedition
should start in Mexico through j
Juarez.
"This can mean nothing but war," j
one of the highest officials at El
Paso. "It indicates beyond all doubt
that the Mexicans are boldly defying
President Wilson, in view of the at
titude taken by the President in his
latest note, 1 believe that within a few
days there will come word to advance 1
and a declaration of war."
Pershing's first report was based on ,
the Information brought him by four
troopers who were present at the Car- j
riisal fight. Mounted on the only
horses left the little command we.
sent at a killing pace to take word
to headquarters and attempt to get re
lief. Here is the story told by their
spokesman:
"We had marched since early Wed
nesday morning when we reached the
neighborhood of Carrizal. Captain 1
Charles T. Boyd was riding ahead of
the column. Just behind him was
Captain Lewis S. Morey, Lieutenant
Henry R. Adair was farther back with
the column. Tnere were 65 men in
the troop.
Outnumbered 5 to I
"Prom our position we could see
some Mexican soldiers in the village.
Captain Boyd sent forward a messen
ger under a flag of truce to ask per
mission to enter the town in search
of bandits that we . were hunting.
General Felix Gomez' sent back word
giving permission to enter. Gomez
himself rode out to meet Captain
Boyd. Captain Boyd gave the word
for the column to advance. We were
just starting forward when we noticed
Mexican troops pouring out from be
hind all kinds of shelter —adobe
houses and the like —and deploying to
the right and left. It was battle for
mation. From the first glance we saw
that they outnumbered us at least
Ave to one.
"Captain Boyd noticed their move
ment. To any soldier that sort of
thing can mean only that an attack is
about to begin. 1 saw Captain Boyd
motion to the men and make some re
mark about it to General Gomez. Go
mez wheeled his mount around and
signaled with his hands. Then he
made a dash for his own lines.
Machine Guns Back
"At the same moment a couple of
machine guns, one at each end of the
Mexican line, opened up on us. We
were caught in our saddles an easy
range and we made good targets. I
saw Captian Boyd fall. A moment
later Captain Morey was wounded in
shoulder.
"Lieutenant Adair gave us the or-1
FIELD ARTILLERY COMMANDS
ALL IMPORTANT POSITIONS
ALONG MEXICAN BORDER
By J'locialtd Press
El Paso. June 23. American
guns command the situation at every
important border point to-day. Field
artillery has been mounted on hillocks
in the larger communities, the noses
of their guns pointing in a southerly
direction, while in the smaller towns,
machine gun detachments have been
stationed.
Military authorities here and in
other border encampments announced
that every preparation had been made
for possible hostilities.
After waiting 4 8 hours, the border
read news dispatches giving the Am
erican version of the fight at Carrizal.
containing General Pershing's report
that it was an unprovoked attack
upon the Americans and then lapsed
into expectant waiting.
When the dispatches were read to
General George Bell, Jr., commanding
the El Paso military district, over the
telephone early to-day he expressed
keen gratification but said he had re
ceived no additional orders from de
partmental headquarters.
"I knew it," he exclaimed. "I knew
our men did not start that fight."
I'oa r For Prisoners
Grave apprehension was manifested
Vere for the safety of the 17 American
prisoners taken in the engagement
who are held by General Trevino
probably in Chihuahua City. It was
pclnted out that should hostilities re
sult. the Mexicans probably will at
tempt to carry out threats made by
subordinate leaders to hang the
captives.
With the receipt of Genera) Persh
ing's first report, military authorities
here felt confident that supplemental
reports would be received giving ad
ditional details of the fight and news
of the two squadrons of the Eleventh
cavalry who were sent to reinforce
the troops of the Tenth.
Armed Trains Wait
A few of the troops that evacuated
Juarez had returned to-day and there
were reports that the re-occupation of
the town bv the entire former garrison
of 4.000 is contemplated. During the
early morning hours in the Mexican
town only a few scattering military
patrols were In the streets. General
Francisco Gonzales, commandant, and
Andres Garcia, consul at El Paso, who
cent!? had been sleeping on the
» id cat) side rode through the streets
f>rt horseback, apparently making an
inspection tour. Street car traffic
across the river which was stopped
last nieht. was resumed to-day.
Indications that all preparations
have been made in the event of a
hasty departure of the remnant of the

'saddles In a hurry. Then he told us to
throw ourselves on our faces and re
turn the fire. Someone got Gomez just
as he was reaching his line. The
next minute Lieutenant Adair was hit.
i Both he and Captain Boyd are dead, 1
believe.
Cut Horses Down
"The machine guns were still going,
j I could hear the bullets whistling over
us. Bacuse of Lieutenant Adair's or
der we saved a lot of men. But the
horses did not have the same luck,
i The bullets started to hit them and
they were going down as if their legs
were suddenly cut out front under
them. The others, stung by the bul
lets and kicked by the dying horses,
began to rear and plunge. The men
in charge tried their best to hold them,
j but they broke away. Some of the
■ men were killed trying to save the
mounts.
"When the horses got away we were
marooned. We fought back and pre
vented the Mexicans from advancing
in spile of their advantage in numbers
and the machine guns. We began to
' fall back towards the hills as well as
we coul(J.
"We recovered four horses and then
| the four of us were sent here to re
j port. We left the rest of the troops
;in the hills. The retreat was slow be
cause of the wounded. The Mexicans
, kept following and firing, but were
! kept away by the accurate rifle fire of
our men."
Expert Bis Battle
General Pershing's report of the
trooper's story was forwarded with his
explanation that all scouting parties
were cautioned by him to be careful
not to take any action that would pre r
! cipitate a fight, but it is known that
| both the American and Carranza com
! manders now expect a battle to be
i fought at Villa Ahumada. The Mexi
cans are preparing to contest the
march from Juarez to Chihuahua City
—the movement that would be the
i center of an offensive.
For this reason. American officers
view with suspicion the evacuation of
Juarez by the majority of the Carran
zistas. They suspect that somewhere
in the hills back of Juarez the forces
'that left are being placed where they
can best harrass an American advance.
It was even reported that one body of
Carranza troops had been sighted less
than two miles from Juarez. The hills
back of Juarez make an offensive
' screen for such operations.
The advantage of an aeroplane in
learning the disposition of these troops
Is obvious. But there are no aero
planes at El Paso or Fort Bliss.
Arming Fi'esli Recruits
The tactical strength of the main
move was commented on by American
officers while watching the movements
of the troops through field glasses
high in the hills on the American side.
' From their position back of the
hills the Mexicans would be out
of range of the artillery that
might be used to bombard Juarez.
From there they would support the
small body now left in Juarez proper
and .cover the retreat that would fol
low such a bombardment.
One well directed shot could put
the Mexican railway system out of op
eration. The move to the south keeps
this communication line open.
Fresh reports from all parts of the
border indicate that the Mexicans are
obtaining recruits by hundreds and
arming them for battle. Our report
said that Francisco Villa was raising
a new army to fight under the Car
ranza banner, but this received little
credence in military circles here.
Juarez itself is sullenly quiet. Am
ericans who go to the Mexican end
of the international bridge must go
prepared to swallow insults or encoun
; ter the Carranza soldiery. It was nec
essary to call on the consular service
to rescue an American newspaper
man who was taken prisoner there

| and Huerta and other former minor
factional leaders, seemingly were in
good favor with the Mexican military
, authorities.
It was said that General Caraveo
, witl leave to-night for Chihuahua City
' where General Jacinto Trevino will
assign him to a command in the array
of the north.
General Gonzales declined to dis
! cuss these reports other than to say
I that "any Mexican, not an outlaw, is
welcome to his motherland to-day."
Say l". S. Aggressor
Further indications that the Mex
ican people are being told that the
I United States is the aggressor in the
present crisis and that Mexico has the
moral support of all foreign nations
were contained to-day in the follow
ing dispatches to the local consulate
from the official information bureau in
Mexico City:
"Cable messages from Buenos Aires \
say that newspapers of that city are
emphatic in their disapproval of any
pcssible intervention by the United
Stp.tes in the affairs of Mexico."
Overnight reports from along the
border were more or less routine in
character, indicating that in the Am
erican towns the people were pas
sively awaiting developments. An in
creasing activity of both troops and
dvit populations in the Mexican towns
! was indicated, however. Some inter
est was manifested in orders issued
by the de facto consular officers in
structing Mexicans in their districts to
return to Mexico at once.
From several of the larger border
ports to-day came reports that an
embargo is to be placed on the ex
ipoit of foodstuffs in large quantities,
i This follows the recent exportation to
Mexican towns of large consignments
of flour, beans and other military sup
plies and reports from secret service
agents that most of the shipments
i were billed to the interior. It was as
, serted that the embargo is not to af
, feet small shipments. Customs offi
f cials here declined to discuss the re
' i ports.

KREIDER OFFERS
BILL TO PROVIDE
FOR DEPENDANTS
Congressman Points Out Fail
ure of Government to Aid
Soldiers' Families
Uncle Sam will be better able to
make more adequate provision for the I
wives and children of the men who
serve the flag in the army, navy or
national guard if a bill offered to-day
in Congress by Aaron S. Kreider. Leb
anon, one of Pennsylvania's repre
sentatives in Congress, becomes a law.
The bill, which is to become effective J
immediately upon its passage, allows
51.50 per day lor all men in active
service. $1 of'which shall be paid to
the wife, and that an additional 25
cents per day shall be paid to the wife
tor each minor child dependent upon
the absent father.
The bill provides that "any married
man having enlisted and being in the
active service of the regular army of
the United States or any subdivision
thereof, or in the active service of \he
navy of the United States or any sub
division thereof, or in the active serv
ice of such other land or naval forces
of the United States as are now. or
may hereafter be, authorized by law,
shall receive while in such active serv
ice of the forces of the United States
not less than $1.50 per day, together
with such other allowances as are now
provided by iaw: Provided, that not
less than $1 per day of this amount
shall be paid to the wife of such mar
ried person; provided further, that a
further and additional sum of 25 cents
per day shall be paid to the wife of S
such married person for each and |
every minor child under the age of 10
years dependent upon such married
person for suppcrt."
Kreider Points Out N'eeil
In discussing the bill to-day Con
gressman Kreider said:
"The sudden call by President Wil
son on Monday for the mobilization of
the national guard has brought to 1
light the failure of this government to |
provide for the wives and children
whose support is taken from them if j
the members of the national guard j
respond to the call.
"It is well known that many of those j
enlisting in the national guard were
young, unmarried men at the time of
their enlistment. These men. enlisting ,
as they did in times of peace, have i
been members of the national guard !
for a number of years, and have,
through the training thus received, be
come quite efficient in military tactics
and practice, and if they are mustered .
into the regular army will constitute a
larger and perhaps almost as efficient
a force as the regular army Itself.
"Many of these men since their en
listment have married and are now
the heads of families who are de
pendent upon them for support. At
the request of the President they are
now railed on to defend their country
! and their flag. They are requested to
l leave their homes and their families
for an indefinite period, but in order .
to do so they must leave their wives
and children withdut sufficient means
to secure the net essaries of life.

HARRISBURG ttfsjjft? TELEGRAPH
WHETHER LITTLE FORCE
FOUGHT WAY OUT OF RING
OF MEXICANS IS UNKNOWN
San Antonio, June 23.—Whether the little force of the Tenth
United States cavalry, under Captain Charles T. Boyd, fought their
way out successfully through the ring of Mexican troops which had
almost surrounded them at Carrizal. June 21, still was unknown at
General Funston's headquarters to-day.
No news from General Pershing has been received since the
arrival late last night of the report based on the stories of several
stragglers who made their way back to the main column before the
fighting at Carrizal had ended.
General Funston expected a complete report at any moment,
however, and it was believed General Pershing soon would have
word from the two squadrons of the Eleventh cavalry which he sent
out to meet and reinforce Captain Boyd's men.
enlisted men will receive, while in the
active service of the armed forces of
the- United States, the sum of sls per
month, and even though this entire
sum were paid to the wife of the sol
dier it would be entirely inadequate to
enable her to provide ror herself and
children. A woman with small chil
dren cannot leave them and go to
work in order to secure a livelihood,
and the consequence is that if the
father responds ot the call, she and
her children will inevitably become
the objects of charity during the ab
sence of the soldier at the front.
Uncle Sam's Duty
"It is unquestionably the duty of
this government, immensely wealthy
as it is. boasting of its billions upon
billions of dollars, that it provide for
the- wives and minor children of the
men who are willing and anxious to
defend and protect its honor.
"Congressman Kreider has intro
duced a bill in the House which should
speedily be enacted into law. This bill
provides "(hat every married man en
gaged in the active service of the
armed forces of the United States shall
receive the sum of $1.50 per day, $1 of
which is to be paid to the wife, and it
further provides that an additional
sum of 2 5 cents per day shall also be
paid to her for each and every minor
child under the age of 16 years de
pendent upon the soldier for support.
"The provisions of this bill are cer
tainly most moderate, but if it is
passed promptly it will enable the men
who are now members of the national
guard to go to the front with their
respective commands with the assur
ance at least that their loved ones will
be able to secure the necessaries of
life and not become objects of charity
while they are at the front."
American Union Against
militarism Plans to Call
Conference to Avert War
By Associated Prtss
New York, June 23—A movement
to call a conference of American and
Mexican citizens at El Paso in an
effort to avert war with Mexico was
announced to-day by the American
Union Against Militarism. The union's
executive committee, after an all-night
session, sent telegrams to William Jen
nings Bryan, David Starr Jordan and
Frank P. Walsh, of Kansas City, urg
ing them to proceed at once to El Paso
and offering to defray their expenses,
which. It was stated, would be met by
a fund to be raised by voluntary con
tributions from Americans and Mexi
cans alike.
Similar telssrams were sent to Dr.
Alt, editor of a Mexico City weekly;
Luis Manuel Rojas, director of the Na
tional Library at Mexico City, and Mo
desto C. Roliand, a Mexican engineer
in New York.
No date was set for the suggested
meeting. The purposes of the union,
it is stated, are not only to delay hos
tilities. hut to promote mediation and
relieve the situation along the border.
It was announced that telegrams
had been sent a'so to the ambassadors
of the A. B. C. powers urging them to
press for mediation and to endeavor
to influence General Carranza against
war.
Identified with the movement are
Oswald Garrison Villard. Amos
Pinchot, Lincoln Steffens, Dr. Lillian
D. Wald, Dr. J. W. Slaugher, of Phila

Bill Drafted to Aid
Families of Soldiers
Washington, June 23. At the sug
gestion of Representative Crago, of
Pennsylvania, Chairman Hay, of the
House Military Affairs committee, has
drafted an amendment to the army
bill, which he will introduce on Satur
day, providing for Federal contribu
tions to the support of dependent rela
tives of National Guardsmen who vol
unteer for border service. In draft
ing the bill Mr. Hay consulted with
Mr. Crago.
"I have shown the text of the
amendment to Secretary of War Baker
and he has given it his approval." said
Mr. Hay. "The amendment will not
limit the amount of money to be so
expended, as I found it an extremely
difficult matter to estimate how much
it would take. We have no figures on
the number of enlisted men who are
married and have families, as I think
most of them are unmarried.
"The lamendment will be very brief,
simply authorizing the Secretary of
War to pay such amountsandtheman
ner In which application for such
money will have to be determined by
him. The limit will be SSO a month.
I am sure the amendment will meet
approval of the House."
Representative Kreider, of Pennsyl
vania. has introduced n hill to provide
that the Federal government shall pay
those in the service on the border $1.50
a day, of which $1 shall go to the wife
or relative dependent. If there is a
dependent child under 16 years of age,
there shall be 50 cents a day appor
tioned to each such dependent child.

CITY'S WOMEN
TO DO THEIR BIT
Girls Who Want to Offer Ser
vices Can Send Names to
Mrs. C. E. Ryder
Harrisburg women will hasten to
offer their services to the flag just as
soon as the need arises, and already
many are preparing to "do their bit"
at the first call of the country.
Mrs. Charles E. Ryder, chairman of
the local chapter of the Pennsylvania
Women's Division for National Pre
paredness, issued a call for volunteers
this morning. Names may be sent
either to Mrs. Ryder or to Mrs. James
B. Mersereau, 1904 North Second
street.
Women and girls are needed to ac
complish the huge task that has been
assumed by this organization, which
will divide its work into eight lines.
One branch will be in charge of
Mrs. George S. Reinoehl and will en
deavor to look after families of sol
diers who are at the front; another is
in charge of Miss Mary Miller, of the
Visiting Nurse association. and a
third will be in charge of Mrs. C. P.
Turner and will make and store surgi
cal supplies. ■
Should the war make such work
necessary a fourth division will be or
ganized to care for the blinded or
crippled soldiers who are sent back
from the field. A fifth division with
automobiles will volunteer for messen
ger service. This class will be given
drills in the care, operation and repair
of automobiles and other machines.
Other girls will offer their services
in the Red Cross branch and will re
ceive their training in the hospitals
and will learn cooking, first aid and
similar work. Another squad will co
operate with the Pennsylvania Rail
road Preparedness Organization in
collecting and distributing food sup
plies, while the eighth division will
engage in general work such as pre
paring kits, sewing and clerical work.
Dr. George B. Kunkel declared to
day that it would be only in a case of
an extreme crisis that the corps of
Harrisburg girls organized and led by
Mrs. E. Riley, as an emergency first
aid corps, would see actual service.
Dr. Kunkel will give five lectures in
a series of fifteen to be delivered be
fore the girls.
Dr. Kunkel said that girls who have
had but a few months' training could
not hope to render the service of Red
Cross Nurses who have been for two
or three years closely identified with
such work.
The work that may fall to the lot of
the local classes under Dr. Kunkel will
not take them from this city, and the
only chance for active service that
they will have will be to treat men
from the Harrisburg military organi
zations injured at the front and sent
home to he nursed, in the event of ac
tual hostilities.
Those member* of the classes who
at the end of the course pass the ex
aminations and receive their certifi
cates will he qualified to assist in any
emergency of a local nature
WAIT DETAILS OF
BOYD'S LAST RIDE
Guardsmen Well Remember
Slain Commander of "H"
Troop
Cavalry officers of the National
Guard awaited to-day with keen inter
est the confirmation of the report that
Captain Charles T. Boyd, commander
of Troop "H" of the Tenth Cavalry,
had been killed in the battle of Car
rizal.
Captain Boyd's pleasing personality
and his splendid ability as an officer
while assigned as the war depart
ment's cavalry observer and instructor
at Alt. Gretna three years ago won
him scores of friends. Lieutenant-
Colonel F. M. Ott, Captain Charles P.
Meek, former commander and adju
tant respectively of the Second squad
ron of the Guard's cavalry regiment.
Captain George C. Jack, commander
of the Governor's Troop and Lieuten
ants E. A. Nicodemus and George W.
H. Roberts, were especially anxious to
learn definitely of the regular army
officer's fate as they had all been very
close friends at Gretna.
I'nofficial reports from Mexico were
to the effect that Captain Boyd who
commanded "H" troop of the Tenth
on its last ride had been killed while
battling with overwhelming odds.
"Captain Boyd paid the Governor's
Troop a particularly pleasing compli
ment a few years ago, In his report to
the war department on the way the
men cared for their horses," said Cap
tain Aleck to-day. "The men of this,
the Governor's Troop, treat their
horses with especial kindness without
impairing the efficiency of the
mounts' " was the gist of Captain
Boyd's report."
Another officer, mentioned promi
nently in the newspaper dispatches,
too, was Captain Lewis S. Alorey, who
is also well known among Guard offi
cers. He represented the war depart
ment both at Gettysburg and Alt.
Gretna six or seven years ago.
