It was at Guerrero that the contrast between the marksmanship | of the two farces was demonstrated. There, the troopers of the Seventh Cavalry, shooting coolly and steadily, sent almost every bullet to its mark, while General Hernandez's soldiers fired wildly as they ran, nearly all shooting high above the heads of the Americans, As a result when the smoke of the engagement had cleared it was learned that only four Ameri- cavalrymen had been slightly wounded, while fifteen times that number of Villa followers had been killed and as many more wounded, A similar demonstration of marks- manship at Aguas Calientes con- firmed the suspicion already growing in the minds of the bandits that the ability of the Americans had been misrepresented to them, according to vals here. Has Effect on Peons, Army men here point out that, al- though important, the moral eifect upon Vilia’s command of the disylay of American marksmanship is a minor consideration as compared with the effect upon the peons of the district, where Villa is a popular idol. Realizing this, General Per- shing has taken every precaution to prevent outbreaks among the Villa adherents and has placed small de- tachments in towns along the Ameti- can line of communication not gar- risoned by Carranza troops.
