WITHDRAWAL OF FORCE DRAMATIC Picturesque Incidents Crowd March; Refugees Guarded by U. S. Troopers Temporary Field Headquarters, Puni tive Expedition, Ojo Federico, Chi huahua, Feb. 2 (by airplane to Co lumbus),—Withdrawal of the Ameri can punitive expedition from Mexico, accompanied by rumors of Villa at tacks and a curious collection of refugees, has seen quite as many dra matic and picturesque incidents as its entry ten months ago. Despite the fact that Major-General Pershing received the formal with drawal order from Washington as late as January "7, preliminary prepa rations to evacuate the occupied ter ritory wero begun more than a week previous to that date. When the or der came truck trains had carried out .• II baggage in excess of that required for equipment. All forage had been •stored at convenient points, organ ization commanders had received con lidential and detailed orders, marches had been laid out and routes for cav alry and infantry chosen. When the lirst provisional cavalry brigade broke camp at Cplonia Dub lan, January SI, the 10,750 American soldiers in Mexico were moving with i locklike precision toward the border in the van were the infantry regi ments, who left before the cavalry in order that they might arrive at Pa lomas, six miles south of Columbus, with the cavalry. At Palonias it is planned to assemble the entire expe dition, which will cross the line into Columbus as a unit on February u. Guarding' llcfugocs Because of rumors that Villa forces were close on the heels of the retiring troops and occupying the camps as soon as they wero evacuated, cavalry patrols and airplanes were used in numerous reconnaissances. Preparations for sending forward and guarding the refugees, who began 10 move as soon as it was evident, that the Americans were leaving, were im provised hurriedly. The bands were registered, assigned to camps near the lines and escorted north by cavalry as soon as the parties threatened to become too large to handle. Many of the vehicles, patched und bound with wire, appeared as though they would collapse. The ponies and burrows, emaciated, seemed scarcely able to move. Swarms of children, ragged and wide-eyed, watched- the mounted es cort. or squalled in chorus when the night wind bit through their garments and they huddled about the camp tires. When the transportation was inadequate mothers with children at their breasts trudged through the dust. Fear Villa The trip from San Joaquin was an especially hard one for the refugees. The wells at. Charcos were dry when they reached Chocolate Pass and the animals were jinwatered for two days and nights. Investigation of the rea son for the delay of one cart disclosed that a child had been born. The march, however, was delayed only a few moments. Those who huve had dealings with the troops fear to stay in Mexico in view of the threats by Villa against t lie lives of any who profited through the expedition. The others, openly announcing their fear to stay after the Americans leave, state that 110 serious attempt would be made to keep Villa out of Northern Chihuahua. Kxped it ion's Death Toll Simple but impressive ceremonies marked the hauling down of the Stars and Stripes when Dublan was aban 'Lpned Wednesday morning. That part the expedition which has served on foreign soil numbers 288 officers, 10,463 men, 9,441 animals and 400 wagons. The expedition's death toll, both from battle and disease, has been: Two officers have been killed and one has died; forty enlisted men have suc cumbed, battle and disease claiming equal shares. Not a single death was caused by disease usually epidemic among troops unused to this country.

I QUIETEST WEEK IN STEEL TRADE Traffic Troubles Arc Given as the Cause of Falling Off Still beset by traffic troubles, the steel trade trade has had one of the fiuietest weeks in many, as though January ends with even more assur ance of -Xull operations far into the year than existed 'at its opening. In summarising the situation,> the Iron Age of to-day says: "That the United States Steel Cor poration, with all the constriction of traffic late in the year and the short age of coke, earned $100,000,000 in the last quarter of 1910, or fur more than in the previous three months, in dicates the advance the steel com panies have made into their higher priced orders. But even so, consider able shipments are still going out at close to'a 2c basis for heavier prod ucts; hence larger earnings are yet to come. "In the Pittsburgh district some j mills are believed to have shipped j more product in the past fortnight | than they booked in new business, but j generally the cutting down of ship- , ments has caused a slight gain in un- 1 tilled orders in January. At Chicago i consumers of tlie heavier forms of rolled steel have crowded the mills , with specifications and emergency or- | ders, so that even in the absence of i large new contracts the accumulation 1 on the books has increased. In the Central West there is some easing up of the pressure on sheet I and bar mills. Some shoet mills that have been <|uoting the top of the mar- ! ket for prompt shipment are now tak ing such business at $5 lower. Oil heavier products, however, prices on both early and later shipments are firm if not higher. "The desire of foreign buyprs to get all the steel possible from this country is seen here and there in the acceptance of more steel with upper •limits in phosphorous and sulphur. In a recent inquiry for 40,000 tons of ■I 'L--inch rounds 0.Q7 was allowed on phosphorus und sulphur. Italy's inquiries for barb wire, steel bars and ship plates continue, but ocean freights are a distinctly,limiting lactor in all export trade."
