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

Sptrial to the Telegraph
Mount Gretna, Pa., June 28.—Miss
Elizabeth Du Puy Scott, a Philadel
phia debutante last season, was the
heroine of a '"war" wedding last
night in the camp of the Second in
fantry, when she became the bride of
Captain Walton Clark, Jr., of Com
pany L.
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. Bechtel, of Com- I
pany C, who was married by the regi
mental chaplain, the Rev. Robert John
McFetridge. to Miss Isabel M. Jackson,
of 1515 North street, Philadelphia.
The regimental band went to Com- '
pany C, and escorted the bridegroom,
i vjoruoral Bechtel, to headquarters to,
the tune of Mendelssohn's wedding
march.
The entire regimen formed a wide
circle around the couple, and Chaplain
McFetridge stepped forward to per
form the ceremony, according to the
ritual of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
Another Philadelphia soldier mar
ried here to-day. He was Charles B.

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

Col. Finney said that changes in the
Eighth were about over. The Harris
burg organizations have been drilling
their recruits with a thoroughness that
is worth noting and the spirit of the
men is fine.
The health of all of the Harrisburg
men in the infantry and cavalry is
good, and it is believed that they will
stand high In the tests of the army
surgeons which begin to-day.
The men in the Governor's Troop
