Eggs at 10 Cents Each at
Colonia Dublan; Fire in
an Infantry Camp.
I American infantrymen went two days
I without bread or coffee on their march
into Mexico according to reports from
men who were wltti the command. They
had the "hard bread" issued with emer
gency rations but this is said to nave
been very unsatisfactory to men march-
ing all day over hot sand In a country
without water or shade. Reaching Casas
Urandes It was some time before the
transport wagons could bring up suffi-
cient food and the men bought bread
of the Mormon families and the Mexi-
cans. They paid the Mormons IS cents
a loaf and the Mexicans 25 cents a
loaf; the Mexicans exacted 10 cents
apiece from the. Amencans for fresh
eggs for which there had been no sale
before their arrival.
One of tne infantry commands short-
Ir after going into camp near Colonia
Dublan had an exciting experience
with a fire that got started In the dry
grass about the camp and did consider-
able damage before it could be put out
Several guns were damaged and n
quantity of ammunition was exploded
by the heat of the fire.
Itoads Arc Condemned.
All those returning from the front
condemn the poor roads and assert that
a ride from the field base to Columbus
on the empty Jolting truck is some-
thing to remember for a long time.
"How sick men can surtlve such a
ride is a puzzle" said a man from the
front today. .
"Wc left Colonia Dublan at 8 oelock
in the morning and traveled all day
reaching Bona Grande at 7 In the even-
ing over the worst roads it has ever
been my misfortune to ride over." he
continued. "Next morning we started
for the border at 6 oblock and reached
Columbus at noon.
"Wagon trains are four davs coming
to the border and five days going back
with loads and they kill from one to
six mules on every trip down.
Itoad Hard to Repair.
The engineers are working on
the road but are unaule to make much
improvement on It. They are not rais-
ing the road to higher ground as re-
ported but are confining their work to
hauling brush and stones and throwing
them into the chuckholes and the deej
fand. .......

air which the aviator described as

occasional whirlwinds sweeping down

slightly with the cold. The airplane

tion except automobiles came In on
dispatdh duty. It circled the camp once
at about 100 feet enabling the aviator
who had never seen this table land be-
foro to choose a landing place. Soon
after these airplanes arrived most of
the cavalrymen still remaining In

Too Many Officers Volunteer.
Yesterday while coming here by au-
tomobile Pershing's escort took the
wrong road riding nearly into a town
which was believed to be full of Vlllis-
tas at the time. They were within two
miles of the place when the error In
the road nas discovered. Later In the
day it was stated that two scouts for .
the Americans were In this town. In
possible danger volunteers were cauea
for to bring them In. So many offi-
cers rushed forward to offer their ser-
vices that none of the privates got a
chance to join the rescue party. The
scouts jvere brought In safely.
Mexican Money Iroiided.
Several mule packs of Mexican sli-
ver money has been sent to CoL Dodd's
troopers to enable them to obtain food
and fodder from the Mexicans. Their
American money was such an unknown
quantity among the Mexicans that

At this camp Gen. Eershlng has set

DESIGNER OF JEFFREY "QUAD"
SEES IT WORK IN THE FIELD
Martin Wlnther. designer of the Jef-
fery "quad" truck arrived in El Paso
Monday from Casas Grandes. by way of
Columbus. He went to Casas Grandes
with some of his make of cars to see
how they stood up under the heavy
hauls and the defective roads and upon
reaching El I'aso. said that he was tre-
mendously pleased with the machines.
A record made by one "flock" of the
miphlnca was to Casas Grandes and
back to Columbus In 71 hours and 40 i
minutes. This was over roads rendered
difficult by sand and washouts. Tho
"quad Jeffery is designed to run im
entire load on one wheel If there Is a
need for taxing one wheel: and the
purpose is to offest the stopping of the
car because one or two of the wheels
happen to get out of fix.
Mr. Wlnther is from Kenosha 'TCIs..
where the Jefferv factory Is turning
out 10 cars a day for war use along the
border and In Europe. He states that
already 150 of his machines are being
used from Columbus south with the ex-
pedition in Mexico.

G. G. Munoz Says Consul
Letcher and Gov. Enriquez
Are Working Together.
"Conditions In Chihuahua have been
badly distorted by reports on the bor-
der" said G. G. Munoz of Chihuahua
city who arrived in El Paso Sunday
night "Governor Ygnaclo Enriquez
and the American consul Marlon Letch-
er are working hand In hand to pre-
serve a state of peace between the two
republics and are allaying troublesome
rumors as they arise among the
people.
-Unrlques Allays Alarm.
"Gen. Enriquez has had circulars is-
sued stating the nature of the presence
of American troops in Mexico and their
purpose of exterminating the Vlllistas.
In these circulars which are posted
about the city he has stated the con-
ditions under which the expedition U

lend themselves to "the principles 0f

Street Hallway Operating.
Mr. Munoz says tnat the Ice factory
and the street railway of Chihuahua
city are now operating; as well as the
shoe factory and the overall factory
and that In spite of the restricted busi-
ness conditions. Chihuahua has been
enjoying a prosperous time-under Gov
Knrlquez.
"As for the report that Gen. Herre-
ra has broken with the Constitution-
allsts it l most absurd. I personally
was with Gen. Herrera and governor
Enriquez when the report came that
this rumor was abroad in America and
they discussed the matter and laughed
at it"
Trevlno Commander lteiiionnllile.
Information has been received that
It was not Gen. Luis Herrera. nor Col.
Cano who caused apprehension at Chi-
huahua following the American ex-
pedition Into Mexico but a general on
the staff of Jacinto B. Trevlno. com-
mander of the Conatitallonal army or
the' Northeast. The. name of this offi-
cial could not be learned but from
definite sources In the interior it is
said this general had a command of
some 1500 men. and had been ordered
to Chihuahua from Torreon.
Upon reaching Chihuahua he ex-
pressed himself as hostile to tho Idea
of American troops on Mexican soil
and is said to have misunderstood
completely the purpose of the expedi-
tion. Before he had time to cause any
large defection of the troops under
Gen. Luis Gutierrez he was recalled to
Torreon by the first chief where he
is now In command of one of three
sectors under the leadership of Gen.
Trevino.
Herrera GcU Illame.
The threatened trouble was sup-
pressed and the blame It Is said fell
upon the shoulders of Gen. Luis Herre-
ra and his chief of staff. Col. Cano.
"We did not apprehend Villa on his
southern passage." said the Informant
"for the reason that the country Is a
large one and our troops were not
great enough to patrol the entire south-
ern line of the state. We gave Villa
battle at Namlquipa and also at Guer-
rero: and any one who will go among
our soldiers will discover that the an-
tagonism toward Villa is real and gen-
uine and that our men afo as anxious
to capture or kill him as are the Amer
icans.

MEXICANS FEAR CENSUS MEN;
REFUSE TO LIST CHILDREN
While the work of listing the names
in the scholastic census recently tak-
en has not been completed the Ind -cations
are that there are about 14562
chl dren of school age In the city lim-
its an Increase of 8SJ over last year
when the census showed lp.'O.
The largest Increase Is In the ter-
ritory south of the tracks and east of
Cotton avenue and there was a small
increase In all sections above the track
except In Highland Park where there
was a slight falling off. There was
an Inorease also south of the tracks
and west of Santa Fe. wherfeas In the
Mexican section between Santa Je
street and Cotton avenue there was a
decrease. ...
Tha Mexican situation is believed
to be responsible for there not being
a larger increase as Mexicans refused
to give the names of their children
or to admit they had children through
fear that tbe census was for some
other i-nrpose.
