Wednesday by a large Villa band at Corralitos, Chihuahua, and | suggested that the Amecrican border | patrol ‘exercise all possible vigilance to prevent the outlaws from raidinng | into the United States. | In his dispatch ‘to the embassy, | General Carranza said he feared the | bandits had crossed the desert in an attempt. to reach cause further difficulties. He sug- gested that the American troops patrol carefully between Boquillas and Ojinaga and promised that every possible e?fon would be made by his forces to apprehend and destroy the bandits. Villistas Abandon Juarez. The Villista forces have evacuated Jiminez and railway communica«| tion has been restored with Mexico City, according to a message received today by General Gonzales, at' Juar- ‘ez, from General Trevino at Chihua- hua City. General Trevino, reported that Carranza cavalry now is in pur- suit. of the bandits, During their raid on Jiminez the pay train, which' was on its way north from Mexico City, filled with paper money for the army and civil govern- ment of northern Mexico, said a min- ing man arriving from Chihuahua. While the Villistas are rich in the new “uncounterfeitable” paper, the military and civil employes must go without their June pay, he said. Bold, Brilliant Stroke. “No doubt now remains among the people ‘of Chihuahua that Villa is alive and directing operationis. That he should fall on the strongest section of the Carranza cordon and destroy it, killing its leader, General Ramos, before the various sections could ef- fectively co-operate in it is typical Villa étrategy. “General Trevino has been rushing his troops back to the relief of Jimi- nez. His _concentration in the north left the Villa territory around-the Florida river quite clear of Carranza forces. This gave Villa his opportu- nity and he used it.” Gutierrez Ordered South.

It is hoped that telegraphic service will’be resumed tomorrow. The water shortage has been ended by a heavy rainfall today. Mothers Ask Wh_y Teachers Do Not Enlist with Boys Portland, Ore.,, July 7.—Because| they did -not “practice their ‘teach- | ings” and enlist in the Oregon Na- tional Guard, a number of Portland mothers whose sons answered the call to arms and are now on the Mexican border, partly, they said, as | the result of their teachers’ urgings, | called yesterday upon two members | of the faculty of one of the city’s largest high schools and asked them to give reasons for being “slagkers.” After three hours of disciission most of the mothers stated that they were satisfied with the teachers’ ex- planations, several others, however, still were unable to agree today with the majority. One of the teachers said he had helped to organize the machine gun company with which the boys’ went to the. front and had enlisted, but resigned later when his four chil-| dren became ill. The other said he had not been intending to enlist, as his duties in Portland were more im- portant. the border and” OMAHA, SATURDAY FOURTH NEBRASKA REGIMENT IS OFF FOR THE BORDER Eight Hundred Twenty-Eight| Men and Fifty-8ix Officers Leave Lincoln on Three Trains.

About half of the bays were wear- ing goggles, presented gy the Omaha Commercial club, which bought up all ‘the goggles they could find in boys with a consignment of socks and other necessities, which were appre- ciated very much. The men desire The Bee to express for them their heartfelt thanks to the friends who thus remembered them, State Auditor Smith went ou to the grounds to see the troops entrain and noticed a few boys from his home town of Seward sticking their heads out of the car windows. He discov- ered eight of them were without a cent of money. They had not received pay since enlisting and the good- natured auditor reached down into his pockets and pulled out all the money he had with him, about $5 in silver, and passed it up to them. Recruit Not Forgotten. An elderly lady passed along the train and inquired for a4 soldier bo; whom she had wanted to see. As it happened, he was one of the new re- cruits and no one appeared to be able to place him. “I met him last night and was talking to him,” said the lary, “and he made theremark that while the rest of the boys would be receiving good byes from their friends there would be nobody to say good bye to him, and so I just thought I would come over this morning and say good bye to him so he would not feel that he was forgotten.” Fifth Looks On. While ‘the boys of the Fourth were being entraired, the boys of the Fifth and cheered them, while some sang Several of the boys, the mothers said, were less than 17 years of | age. | |Trade Boosterson | Way to David City| Fourteen automobiles, carrying fifty- | trade extension boosters, left at o'clock yesterday morning for David City and intervening towns.

The baby was found at the foot of lier bed, with her head caught | between two of the iron rods in such a manner as to cause death, songs or otherwise showed their good will for the boys who were so fortun- ate as to get away first. Frequently a group would start up some popular air, “Don’t Bite the Hand that's Feed- ing You,” bing theone which has been the most popular during camp ser- vice. Here and there, some woman or girl would be bidding a husband or sweetheart a tearful goodbye and many a brave woman would try in vain to keep back the tears which would come in spite of all her efforts, A goodly number of Omaha people were present to see the boys of the Omaha battalion off, and many of them brought little ’greums to help them on the way. The Omaha bat- marched to the train as well as other companies of the regiment. A Serious Job Now. “I tell you,” said a soldier boy, “this makes a fellow feel like he is tackling a serious job. I have been away from home before, but I didn't feel just the way I .do now.” Friends of the soldier boys should remember that a letter from home or a friend or a paper from the home town will come mighty acceptable to the boys after they are located and far IW‘V roiti home ties, hile there were some delays, the departure of the Nebraska troops was carried out in good shape, due to the energy of Superintendent Bignell and his assistants.
