50,000 MEXICANS MASSED FOR ATTACK MOREY GREETED AS FROM GRAVE Troopers Eager to Grasp Hand of Captain Given Up as Slain Special to the TeUgrot>k General Pershing's Headquarters, Xear Casas Grandee, Mex., June 25 radio to Columbus, X. M., June 28).—Captain Lewis S. Morey, K. Troop, 10th Cavalry, the sole officer to survive the fight with Carranzistas near Carrizal, sat on the edge of a bunk in the thatched hut used as headquarters yesterday and told an attentive group of fellow officers, who had gathered to congratulate him as one from the grave, intimate details, as the soldiers saw them, of the first real tragedy of this campaign. Morey had spent the night in the hospital after his arrival here by mo tor late last evening and to-day, his blood-stained shirt removed and his body cleansed and refreshed, he was able to be about camp, with his left shoulder, through which a Mauser bul let had passed, swathed In bandages. He first held a conference with Gen eral Pershing and then visited his regiment, in what will probably re main one of the most remarkable re unions of this campaign. As he walked through the company streets, flanked by tents and the curiously woven brush quarters the men and officers have built, there was neither cheering nor music, but from each group as he passed some officers walked out, faced him eagerly and grasped his hand as they said: "Glad you are back. Con gratulations." Those are simple words, but they were fervent, for no man in this command believed Morey would be back again. Speaks \Vithout Exaggeration Morey is a studious-looking man, with lean, whiskered face and spec tacled. In telling his story, he spoke slowly and haltingly, but without ex aggeration and with superb restraint and modesty. He blamed no one, drew no conclusions and offered no hind sight suggestions as to what should be done. His voice was almost emo tionless, rising in pitch and tone only when the speaker told how he went without drink from 6 o'clock on the morning of June 21, the day of the fight, till 4 o'clock on the following day, when he had been wounded and blistered by the sun's rays all day. It seemed, he said, the longest day of the year. Morey suffered such thirst that it will leave %n impression for life. He asked that a canteen of wa ter be handed him while he was telling his story. How those two troops of the Tenth left Santo Domingo early that Wednesday morning, rode toward arrizal, how Captain Boyd conferred w-ith Gomez and how, flanking the Americans right and left, the Carran zistas opened fire, has already been told and these details, heretofore re lated. Morey confirmed. Adair Died in Irrigation DiXch He added little to the story of that fight, except to say that Captain Bovd and Lieutenajit Harry Adair died like gentlemen and soldiers, and that the Carranzistas started hostilities byopen ng up with a machine gun, and that in the tiring which immediately fol lowed the Mexicans seemed to be con centrating their fire on the white of ficers, of whom there were only three.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FOUR MEXICAN ARMIES OF 50,000 MEN READY TO HURL THEMSELVES ACROSS LINE El Paao, Tex., June 28.—Four Mex ican armies, aggregating' 50,000 men. are massed in the State of Chihuahua ready at a declaration of war to hurl themselves with lightning swiftness at the United States. Thirty thousand of this gigantic force are fully equipped cavalrymen. One hundred and fifty pieces of French artillery—7s and 80 millimeter guns—are distributed among the varied forces. The Carranzistas hold as their bases the most important strategic points in the State, both for attack on the United States and to repulse an In vading force from the north. All are on main railroad stems of the district with ample facilities for the reinforce ment by one of another army. The most northerly base, within easy strik ing distance of El Paso, is at Villa Ahumada. This point, near where the Carrizal fight took place, is located on the Mexican Central Railroad, only 80 miles south of El Paso. Ten thousand men are reported to be mobilized there. 15,000 at Chihuahua City At Chihuahua City, about 150 miles further south on the same road, 15,000 troops are massed. Still further south on this line—at Santa Rosalia the main forces numbering about 25.000 men—are stationed. At San Antonio, about 50 miles west of Chihuahua City the fourth army is positioned. This vital military information was brought to General Bell by five Am erican mining men who arrived here from Parral, about 150 miles south of Chihuahua. The men reported that they had been attacked by a Mexican mob at Santa Rosalia and narrowly escaped with their lives. American Ranchman Slain Excitement here over the Mexican controversy was renewed with the re ceipt of news of a new bandit raid across the border near Hachita, X. M., resulting in the murder of William Parker, an American ranchman, and his wife. The general sentiment seemed to be that the incident demonstrated anew tht inability of the Carranza govern ment to offer any protection to the American frontier and would serve to bring matters to a head quickly. Notorious Villa Chiefs Gather Fresh cause for apprehension was found along the border to-day in news of the gathering of strong forces of former Villa sympathizers under notorious chieftains in the vicinity of Juarez and the close surveillance by COL ROOSEVELT T LEAD DIVISION New York, June 2S.—lt was learned that Colonel Roosevelt intends to ask the government for permission to raise a division of volunteer soldiers for service in Mexico the minute that war is declared and a call for volun teers sent out. According to this information, which came from a reliable source and confirms rumors that have been ln circulation for several days, the col onel has completed his plans for the raising of the division, and waits only upon the calling of volunteers to make his offer to Washington. He will ask for a commission as major-general. Colonel Roosevelt has made his plans after consultation with high mil itary authorities, and they call for a special division of 12,000 men, con sisting of four brigades—one of in fantry, two of cavalry, one of field ar tillery, supplemented by aeroplanes and including engineers, signal corps and hospital corps. Has Been Planning For Months For months the colonel has had these plans in his head, for weeks he has been working them out to the smallest detail, against Just such an emergency as expected across the bor der, and for ten days quiet recruiting has been going on in all parts of the country by men to whom the ex-pres ident has intrusted this task. Many of the bigger arrangements as the providing of horses have been looked after already, and a declara tion of war with Mexico and a call for volunteers will be the signal for an office to be opened for division head quarters to be established, probably In Texas, where the troops would be as sembled. All of the colonel's plans are de pendent upon President Wilson. His request for a commission as major general. commanding a volunteer divi sion, can be granted or refused at Washington, but his friends say that President Wilson would not dare to gainsay such a request and would, as a matter of fact, be glad of the oppor tunity to accede to It and thus to place an official ban of silence on the col onel's utterances touching upon the administration. Colonel Roosevelt's friends are in a quandary as to the exact status of such a request, as to whether or not the granting of it depends upon the President or Congress and as the col onel's age—s7—being a barrier to his entrance into the army at the head of a body of volunteers. READY TO SPEED TROOPS TO FRONT Railroads Ready to Rush Men From Mobilization Camp [ lYoni a Staff Correspondent] Camp Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna, Pa. June 28. The manner in which the railroads have gotten things ready to move the soldiers from the mobiliza tion camp is something which has at tracted the attention of everyone and it is expected that when the orders go out that there will be making of records. In order to provide for con tingencies the Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad Company built sidings into woods, along its right of way and scraped down some sides of hills to make room for rails. These sidings are all crammed with cars this morn ing and in addition there are long lines of trains lying on tracks await ing the coming of tjie engines. Up at Conewago where the Penn sylvania main line takes the trains things are in readiness to take up the trains and speed them toward trie setting sun. For the last three days no less a personage than S. C. Long, general manager of the Pennsylvania avstem, has been camped here In his private car looking after things Just as R. L. O'Donnell, the Pittsburgh chief is busy at Governor's Island. To-day George W. Crelghton arrived to help. William E. McCaleb, head of the Philadelphia division, has been living in his car here for sevefal days and handling his regular tasks as well. F. C. Morse, ol the ablest of the young men at the civil and military authority on former adherents who are now refugees in El Paso. General Jose Flores, commanding 800 infantrymen. Is reported In Juarez after making peace with the de facto government. General Manual Banda, once a Villa subordinate known to be across the Rio Grande, and Manuel Medinavletla and Jose Ysabel Robles also have taken advantage ot the amnesty granted by Carranza. Still another former Villa leader. Colonel Maximo Castillo, has Joined General Gonzales' garrison in Juarez. Castillo whe has been blamed for the dyna miting of the Cumbre tunnel in February 1914, In which 25 American and 50 Mexicans lost their lives, re cently returned to Mexico via Vera Cruz from Cuba, where he went after being released from custody after the Cumbre crime. Form Dynamite Sqnads ' Although the embargo of munitions still is enforced rigidly at points of entry, that regarding food is not. Sev eral wagon loads of foodstuff held up at the International bridges were re leased to-day after the consigners re eei\ed permission from Washington ito send them across, in response to protests against detention of the goods. That the food shortage is be- I coming more acute in the interior of Mexico was declared by arrivals from the south who told of bread lines ln i Chihuahua City, Durango qpd Torreon and brought pictures to substantiate their statements. Mexican refugees whe reached the border to-day from tht- mining districts of Southern Chihuahua brought stories of the oiganization of "dynamite squads" in General Trevino's army. They said it ! is planned that if it should become appanent in the event of war that the de facto troops could not hold the rallroa's, to destroy them and the de tachments now stationed along the Mexican Central and the Mexican i Xcrthwestern will be concentrated at | Chihuahua City. Bombs in hand ! grenades, it was said, are being made I by plugging the ends of small pipes after filling them with powder, nails and scrap iron. The largest guard since the present i crisis developed was stationed last j night at the International bridges, al i though no fear was expressed that should an outbreak occur, an attempt would be made to rush the structure. It was believed that should a foray | occur, the attempt would be made at i some other points along the river. Anxious to Get Into the Fray It has been known for a long time that Colonel Roosevelt was anxious to get into thd fray. It was known I weeks ago when he made the declara ! tion that if war came he and his four sons and his son-in-law would take the j field. And when he was stricken with ; a slight attack of pleurisy less than a fortnight ago he Immediately sum | moned the best medical counsel he i could obtain and retired to Sagamore Hill for a rest cure, his chief purpose in mind being to get in shape to lead troops into Mexico if war came. Since then he has held innumer | able conferences at his home which j were generally supposed to be of a po ! litical nature, but many of them had to do with nothing else but the for mation of his special division in the event of war. As a result of these , conferences and as a result of the plans he has been working over for so I long he is said to have listed the names of the officers he will ask the i administration to give him as regi mental and brigade commanders Recruiting Already Under Way I These men have let It be known that Colonel Roosevelt believes the organ ization of his division would be one of the quickest and most spectacular trom the standpoint of efficiency that this country could expect to see. It is said that the mobilization would be accomplished in a month, the division mn,i» e „ PUt 'r 10 the field with most equipment, with a full quota of machine guns and with motor am for the hos P'tal corps, and that the men will oe picked from an Thß g rl he Btron S an(l already trained.

Captajn and Mrs. Walton Clark are away on a twenty-four-hour honey- I moon extended to them by the gTace of Brigadier-General Price. Company L was lined up in full arms and stood at attention as an honor guard under command of the senior lieutenant during the entire service. The rest of the entire regi ment formed a circle around the wed ding party and Colonel Turner, with his staff and the relatives of the bride and groom, stood behind Chaplain McFetridge, facing the regiment. Corporal Weds On the eve of leaving for the front, I the entire Third regiment, of Philadel phia's First brigade, turned out to i give a regimental military wedding to Corporal John R.

Frank Moran Praises His Opponent as Brainy Boxer Special to the Telegraph White Sulphur Springs, N. Y„ June 28.—"Sometimes I wish I never had seen Jack Dillon fight," said Frank Moran, heavyweight, yesterday. "I j think I know every move he makes in the ring, and so can anticipate each punch and each rally. Now, I never have had credit for being much of a boxer. They say lam easy to hit, but hard to hurt. That's true enough in all probability, but the critics have no idea how I plan my fights as the occasion comes up. "The greatest Joy of the game, to j me, is to box a man I never have seen in action, and dope out what he is go ; ing to do, at the same time planning a counter-attack. I wish I could do that with Dillon, '.he night of June 29, in j Washington Park. "At that, he might spring something j new on me. He is a brainy fighter. The way he split up Charlie Weinert's ! one-two punch by stepping in before j the second blow got under way shows (hat he is a brainy fellow. "It will be a pleasure to match wits | with him."
