WOMEN RUN BULLET GANTLET Wounded Nurse Says She Was Too Exoited to Notice Injury--Brief Reign of Terror a Horrible Experience. m. # Chicago.--The first refugees from Villa's brief reign of terror in Colum­ bus, N. M„ reached Chicago yester- d^y. There were four in the party--the wife and mother-in-law of Cupt. George Williams of the Thirteenth United States cavalry, the captain's ifour-year-old son, Worthjngton Wil­ liams, and the latter's nurje. Captain Williams wa-; with the de­ tachment under Major Tompkins which pursued the Vi^a raiders across the border and is fLill on duty at Co­ lumbus. He is reported to have been wounded in the nand. Women Shaken by Raid. The wome'i appeared pale and laken by th^ir experience, but Worth- li^fcton, bl"c eyed, apple cheeked, and toi^i^?!3 as to yellow hair, strutted up and mown the waiting room of the La Salle\street station, evidently having the time of his life. The bandaged hand of the nurse told a story the boy did not know-- Jhowjthe wound which shattered the woman's wrist had saved the child frorq almost certain death by a Mex­ ican bullet. "We were Hving in a house not far from the army camp," said Mrs. Wil- iliams, who is on her way to her home In Norfolk, Va., which she thinks will fbe a safer spot than the border. The baby was asleep in his little crib when the raiders came. "The nurse was resting on a cot in the same room, and, fortunately, was wakeful. She was the first to hear the shooting. She quickly warned the rest of us and then picked up Worthington, still asleep, and started through the streets for the camp. Wounded, but Reached Camp. "She had covered about half the distance when a bullet from one of the raiders struck her right hand, breaking several bones. She's a brave girl, though, and with the blood flow­ ing from her wound she staggered along and reached the camp in safety. "If that bullet had been an inch or tvo either way--well, I hav^ enough horrible thinvs to think of. But the baby, you know, wli in her arms. My mother and I ran to the camp and reached it Boon after the nurse. By that time the hulletE were flying everywhere, for the soldiers were re­ pelling the attack. Then, before I fairly realized what wan happening, my husband had gathered his company and was away with Major Tompkins over the border, after the fleeing Vll- listas. "I never want to pass through an­ other such experience. It came at the dead of ^ight and was so wholly unexpected. "We knew that Villa could not be trusted to keep on the Mexican side of the border, but we didn't think it possible for a human being to «om- tnlt such an act aB that attack on in­ nocent women and children.' , Ran Bullet Gantlet. . "The poor nurse was almost ex­ hausted. and of course we all were. I cannot imagine, even now, how my mother and I got across that open space without being hit. "My husband will be one of the first to cross the border with the troops on the regular expedition when the order comes. I suppose he is already in Mex­ ico. Isn't that the word from Washing­ ton? "But, of course, I could stay no lon­ ger with the baby. My home is in Norfolk. Va., and I am going there." On the Rock Island train en route to Chicago the Wrilliams baby had be­ come a general favorite with the pas­ sengers. He never tired of giving his version of the raid. His Uniform Like Father's. At the station, while the party was waiting for a taxicab, he proved a picturesque figure in his brown khaki uniform, an exact -replica of his fa­ ther's, and&his -huge Mexican straw sombrero. He waited up and down the waiting room having a little American flag, and announcing to all comers that his father was "a big sojer" and was go­ ing to "kill those Mexans." "Baby, where is daddy?" asked Mrs. Williams, halting his sentry duty for a moment. "Ot, he's jn camp," said Worthing­ ton promptly. "What's he doing?" "Fightin' the Mexans." "Who is your daddy?" "Why don't you know? He's a bic Bojer an' cap'n." Spend Day in Seclusion. When their taxicab arrived the party went to the Virginia hotel, where Mrs. Williams and her mother spent the dry in the seclusion of their rooms. Worth­ ington, however, 'vent out with his nurse for a walk and kept up a run­ ning fire of comment on the street cars, the big buildings, and the other things he had not been accustomed to encounter in Columbus. Neither Mrs. Williams nor her mother were inclined to discuss their experience in detail. After their brief interview with a reporter they denied themselves to callers as far as pos­ sible, receiving only a few intimate Chicago friends. News of their arrival Quickly spread among the guests and attaches of the hotel, however, and whe.n Aey entered the dining room for dinner they were freely, if discreetly, ttared at. An early morning train toon them on their way to Virginia. Nurse Very Modest. The nurse was modesty taciturn about her part in the •escape from the Williams home in Cokrmbus, and even refused to give her name to reporters. ' I hardly felt the bullet when it hit me," she said. "1 was so excited, and, of course, I was thinking only of get­ ting to the camp. But Mt seems like God's mercy that it hit me insteal of the baby. I'm pret^ glad of that, I can tell you. "It'll be a story to tell when Worth­ ington grows up, won't it?" Girl Describes Onslaught. How entire families took to the roofs for safety when the Villistas made their descent on Columbus was told to passengers on the Rock Island train by Frances I.. Higdon, a young woman who went through the raid, and was repeated by Horace M. Ser- ber and William D. Beckley of Mil­ waukee. They reached Chicago yes­ terday morning. Mies Higdon stopped at her home in St. Louis. "Miss Higdon said she war ttopping at a boarding house called the Hotel Nacionale." declared Serber. " 'I waa sleeping in the room next to Mrs. Taylor when the reports of the guns reached us,' she narrated. 'The at­ tack seemed to have centered several blocks away. Everyone came run­ ning into the hallway. I went to a window, when I heard the sound of hard riding along our street, and saw a band of Villistas riding through. They were not firing. Then from an overhanging porch across the street came several shots, and one or two of thj VillisUs fell. The rest, twenty or twenty-five in number, wheeled and came back. Several of them spurred over toward the house and kicked at the door, while the rest shot ^om their horses, which stood stock still. Killing Them Like Flies. " 'An old Mexican woman, called Felice, came upstairs carrying Mrs. Taylor's two Small children. She wanted to take them up on the roof, but I had hfeard someone say, "They're killing them on the roofs like flies," and so I took the children and stuffed tuenr between the spring and mattress of a small bed in their mother's room. I told them to be quiet. A few min­ utes later, when $ second party rode down the street, we all ran up to the roof, leaving the Taylor c'.iiidren. On the roofs of other houses we could sej the families lying at full length. Ws could also see a great number of fires, and the roll pf the rifles was almost withcxut a break. " In the morning I saw many of the dead Mexicans in the streets while Mr. Taylor was taking me to the tpain. I had intended to stay for at least two weeks longer, but I lost no time in leaving after the raid. When I left the only talk was of pursuit, and cow­ boys and soldiers were saying that they would go into Mexico with ord«rs or without.'" HARASSING WITH SCATTERED BANDS LIKELY TO BE VILLA'S TACTICS Washington, D. C.--The administra­ tion has announced that it has no in­ tention of entering Mexico in force, and therefore will merely send a ^suffi­ cient body of mobile troops to locate and disperse or capture the band or bands which attacked Columbus. This, then, is the problem before the war department. To bring^this about, two forces mftst be provided, one to go after Villa and the other to guard the border, so that he or other Mexican leaders may not raid it as was done at Columbus, says Captl flenry J. Reilly in the Chicago Tribune. If Villa keeps his forces concentrat­ ed and offers battle, the problem will be much more simple than if he scat­ ters his forces in small bands all over the country. If he keeps them concen­ trated we will have to send a force suf­ ficiently large to defeat hiny in battle and to guard its own line or communi­ cation. Provisions Important Factor. If he scatters his troops fn small bands all the principal points through­ out the country in which he can oper­ ate will have to be occupied in order that he may get no provisions from any of the towns or principal ranches nor water from any of the water holes and be unable to use any of the passes across the Sierra Madres, while at the same time bodies of troops sufficiently large chase and destroy his various bands. The guarding of the border has been a difficult matter since 1911, when the troops were first sent on this duty. The frontier is 1,200 miles long. Ap­ proximately six hundred of this is an imaginary line. Along the Rio Grande, which runs along the eastern half of the border, there are many fords. In other words, in general the border can be crossed easily almost anywhere. All along it are ranches. Here and there along it are a number of towns. Need Cavalry on Border. We have never had enough troops to afford complete protection to all these towns and ranches. The consequence has been that in most vicinities the number of troops is not sufficient to prevent such an attack as was made at Columbus. Such attacks have been foreseen for a long time, but the war department could not put more troops along the frontier than it had avail­ able. It is a duty which should be principally performed by cavalry be­ cause of the distances to be covered and because the enemy forces almost Invariably consist of mounted troops. It may be remarked that in spite of this obvious lack of troops now evi­ dent for almost five years the bill re­ cently reported by Mr. Hay'S commit­ tee >f the house of representatives adds no cavalry to the army and only ten regiments of infantry. Had thero been sufficient cavalry immediately available at Columbus the probabili­ ties are that had Villa attacked at all. which would have been doubtful under such circumstances, he not only would •French Prefer Water to Bad Wine. The French light wines are re­ nowned, and at one time most French people drank them; but for some years now water has been drunk by a great many French men and women who could not afford good wine and wfll not take wine that is sold cheaply and made harmful by unnatural attributes.

Too Scattered for Protection. An attempt to give some protection to all parts of the border has led to a dispersion of the troops to such an extent that there are many compara­ tively weak points, such as Columbus. All Villa or any other leader has to do is to determine by means of spies where they are, and then suddenly attack them. The only thing that saved the troops at Columbus from being beaten by the overwhelming numbers which Villa brought against them is the great su­ periority of our regulars to any troops which the Mexicans can bring against them. For the pursuit of Villa most of our cavalry undoubtedly will have to be taken. This means that the pro­ tection of the border will have to be primarily in the hands of the infantry, who are hindered by their comparative lack of mobility and the large stretches of country they will have to protect. Nature of Land. The state of Chihuahua is immedi­ ately to the south of that part of the border along which ̂ Villa has recently operated. To its w§st is the state of Sonora. The two are separated by the Sierra Madre. Chihuahua is about three times the size of the state of New York. About four-fifths of it is rolling plain at a height of from four thousand to eight thousand feet above sea level. In general it slopes down hill from the south to the American border. This plain is covered with brush and cacti of all kinds. The veg­ etation is distinguished by its thorn- bearing capacity. There is not a great deal of water, and such as there is is generally found in water holes, called tanques. While these, as a rule, are of considerable size, they are generally quite a dis­ tance apart. If Villa keeps his force concentrated, he may retreat practically due south, which means a long stern chase, with a steadily increasing line of communi­ cations and more and more danger of the mass of the Mexican people be­ coming convinced that we are making a real invasion instead of merely help­ ing the federal authorities to dispose of a dangerous rebel. On the other hand, he may cross the Sierra Madres and raid some part of the Arizona border, or he may return to the east and strike some part of the Texas border. If he goes due south, the railroad of course will be available for a line of communications. If he goes toward the Sierra Madres, the railway running to Minaca will be available. If he goes in any other direction, wagon trains and pack trains will have to be used. Whatever the line of communications, they will have to be guarded to prevent Villa or any considerable part of his force from slipping around the troops after him and attacking them. Not Confined to Children. "This is a toy tea set I got for my little girl's present. She likes to serve make-believe tea and make-believe sandwiches. A harmless fancy." "Per­ fectly. I've been to grown-ups affairs where they did It."--Louisville Courier- . Journal. As practically all Villa's men are mounted, to catch him mounted troops will have to be<jased. This means cav­ alry and field artillery. If he gets into th» Sierra Madres mountain artillery only can be used. In this type of ar­ tillery ^he guns are dismounted from the carriages and all the parts and am­ munition carried on pack mules. One Aero Squadron. We have one aero squadron which, if it can get over the country, probably will be of great use in helping to locate any considerable forces Villa may keep together. We have no reserve of men or horses to bring our regiments to war strength or to make good cas­ ualties. Therefore, even if we start With them at peace strength, we will have to let the regiments used run down in strength or else fill them up with green men and green horses. The greater the- number orf these the less the efficiency, with the consequence that as time goes on we will probably need a good many more men than would have been the case had we at the present time sufficient trained re­ servists to fill our regiments to war strength and to make good casualties. Will Resort to Guerrilla Warfare. From Villa's expressed intention to involve the United States as much as possible in order to force intervention, the probabilities are that he will not make any attempt to fight a campaign but will scatter his forces, in order to give as much trouble as possible, keep the border in an uproar, and draw our forces as fat. as possible into Mexico While the administration has definitely stated its desire to do noth­ ing more than to eliminate Villa, the problem, uue to the Extent of country over which he can operate and our comparative lack of troops, which pre­ vents our speedily ending the cam­ paign. is one which can. easily involve us in difficulties which can only be settled by a general war with Mexico. Must Pay for Wisdom. Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.--Benja­ min Franklin. GOLD AND AMMUNITION BURIED BY VILLA'S MEN Villa has 3.000 men with him now, according to the most authoritative re­ ports. Ten thousand men. it is be­ lieved, will join him on the day the American invasion is launched. Men old in the wisdom of the border say Villa will have from 20,000 to 30,000 men within a week after the hated "gringo" sets foot in Mexico. Tales come out of Mexico of gold, silver, and ammunition that Villa has buried that put to shame the stories of Captain Kidd and the lost pirate treasure of Cocos island. "I should place the gold and silver in bullion and money that Villa has buried in northern Mexico at $5,000,- 000," said one of the bandit's former lieutenants. "The spots where this treasure is buried,are known to no one on earth except Pancho Villa. The men who burietj it for him were shot. "Villa himself told me of one cache of treasure he made in the mountains near Guerrero, which is popularly sup­ posed to have been his birthplace. It required a pack train of six burros to carry the sacks of money and gold and silver bar^to the spot where Villa had decided to inter them. "Six men dug the trench. After their return to camp. Villa, had them arrested on a charge of treason. They met their death in front of a line of Mausers and took the secret of the buried wealth into the other world wiih them. "Villa told me this because 1 hap­ pened to know one of the men and asked about hiip. 'He was a good sol­ dier,' Villa answered, 'but I had to kill him. "Villa also has buried millions of pounds of ammunition and has sealed the secret of the caches in tragedy. * I believe he has enough buried ammu­ nition at his disposal to carry on • long campaig^" -- Napoleon's Largest Army. The largest army that Napoleon 1 ever raised numbered betweeen 560,- 000 and 600,000 men of all arms.

FRENCH BRING DOWN ARMIES German Looses In Three Weeks' Of­ fensive at Verdun Estimated at 200,000 by Paris--Berlin Ad­ mits Loss of Fort Vaux. ' London, March 15.--Artillery bom­ bardment in the Verdun district has increased in intensity west of the Meuse on La Morte Homme and in the Bois Bourrus, according to the Paris report on Monday. French batterieB took under their fire German forces assembling be­ tween Forges and Bois des Corbeaux. On the right bank of the Meuse and in the Woevre there was less activity on the part of artillery on both sides and there was no infantry action dur­ ing the day. Frenfih aviators were active In the entire Verdun region. A squadron of six aeroplanes dropped 130 shells on the strategically important station at Brieulles, north of Verdun, the report adds. In the course of a number of aerial engagements three German aeroplanes were brought down, one within the French lines and the other two inside the German lines. Several other Teu­ ton craft fell, the report adds, but thefr location has not been deter­ mined. Dispatches from Berlin contained the first admission from German Bources that the Teutons no longer held Vaux fort. Major Moraht, military critic of the Berlin Tageblatt, reports that Posen reservists who occupied Fort Vaux were driven out. German losses in the first three weeks of ^he Verdun offensive were estimated at 200,000 in the French of­ ficial statement. An Amsterdam dispatch to the Cen­ tral News says that on account of the German offensive at Verdun the Dutch- Belgian frontier had been closed for several weeks. That part of it south of Maastricht has now been reopened, and this fact is commented on in Hol­ land as probably indicating that the Germans consider their offensive near an end. The dispatch adds that 81 more hospital trains with wounded Germans from Verdun have passed through Luxemburg. PARTIAL EMBARGO ON ARMS Washington Order Affects Gateways to Chihuahua, Sonora and Lower California. Washington, March 15-- An embargo on arms to Mexico issued on Monday affects only San Francisco, Nogales and Los Angeles, the gateways to Chi­ huahua, Sonora and lower California. No general embargo on arms to Mex­ ico has been ordered. All customs officials on the border have been instructed to enforce to the utmost limit the embargo on the ship­ ments of all arms and ammunition to Mexico except that destined for the use of the Carjanza forces. For the present and so long as Car ranza is presumed to 'be operating with the United States forces for the extermination of Villa the embargo will not be extended to munitions des­ tined to the de facto government.

The engineer of the train, which was taking United States troops westward preparatory to the punitive expedition into Mexico, saw the Mexicans in time to stop.
