DYING HORSES MARK TRAIL Pershing's Cavalry Guard Passe* Leading Into Fastnette*—2so Mllea Inside Mexico ond Btill Going. Francisco Villa, with American sol diers on his heels, is making his way southwejtward into the Sierra Tara humare from tNamiquipa. Official reports from Brigadier Gen eral John J. Pershing, commander of the United States expeditionary force, say the American advanced base - is now 250 miles south of the border. Flying columns of the American cavalry are said to be sealing up all the trails and passes they can reach In | the mountainous district. With the I outlets barred, squadrons of cavalry J and detachments of infantry, operat-, lng from the base near Casaa Grandes, will comb the country to drive the bandit into the open. : An unofficial report in Juarez says Villa has reached San Qeronimo can yon, south of Guerrero, where for months at a time the chieftain, in bis j earlier days, baffled the troops of Por firlo Diaz, San Geronimo canyon li | 150 miles long, with almost^perpendl-1 cular walls rising to heavily wooded"J heights above. It affords every means ' for evasion of a pursuing force or for a stand by a small band against su perior odds. Another report says both the Car ranza and the American forces are j canstantly harassing Villa, who la at I El Oso. General Gavlra said General Bertanl reported he was working in perfect accord with General Pershing. This statement was taken to mean that American troops must be using the Mexico Northwestern railroad to Ma dera, as persons who know the coun try weld say there is no possible means other than the railway by which caval ry could reach Madera from Oasis' Grandes. General Pershing expects It will take months to capture Villa. Return ing American refugees and cattlemen who know the country doubt that he ever will be taken. The nature of the country and the fact that he Is among people who Idolize him, make his capture unlikely, they say. A rather alarming note Is contained In the statement that half the Con stitutionalist garrison at Namlqulpa has disappeared, and that some of them at' least are believed to have joined Villa. - Utmost haste is being made by Villa In his fl'aiit, neither men nor horses being spared. It is known he is vir tually without supplies and ammuni tion, and It Is reported he Is trying to reach the neighborhood where he has ammunition cached in three places. Peons In the district through which he has passed recently say his men are ravenously hungry and almost In a state of starvation. Dead and dy ing horses discarded in the flight are found almost dally by American troops, eight being discovered Satur day. General Pershing has returned to Casas Grandee, after several days south of that place perfecting the lines of communication between the Casas Grandes base and the advance columns. In a wireless despatch to Columbus, N. M., he announces the establishment of a new base, near where the bandit la reported In retreat. This is under stood to be at El Valle, seventy miles south of Casas Qrandes. The oavalry men most closely pressing Villa are In three columns, commanded by Colonel George A. Dodd. The one hope held of a speedy termination to the cbaae la that the flight of the bandits will be checked by starvation and the exhaustion of their ponies. Once safely in the midst of the Sierra Tarahumares, the task of running the bandit to bis lair will be one of tremendous difficulty. Many scouts and secret service men are being employed by General Funeton. They will be paid out of * fund of (20,000 appropriated by the war department. General Funston has received no word of sniping by Mexicans as re ported from El Paso. He says General Pershing would report to him If it were true. Long messages have been received from General Pershing, but little Is made public, except the fact that Villa has escaped and that three American columns are seeking to lo cate him. ARMY LOSES SIX AEROPLANES Two Machines Destroyed and Four Disabled In Mexico. General KVinaton has reported to the war department that two out of the eight aeroplanes which ac companied the Pershing expedition tbto Mexico have been destroyed and four of them disabled, leaving only two for active service. It was assumed the machines were destroyed in accidents, and not In an engagement, but General Funston did not explain this point. The war department took steps to replace the machines destroyed. lI9i6~MARCH 1916' [SUN WON TUE ■WED'THU FRI SAT I |l|2 3 4 56 7W9ME 1215M15161718 gg2lglo 25 CAPTAIN CHANDLER Wlrtlesa Expert of the United State* Army. ; ] R J j] Photo hv Captain Charles de F.

DISPATCHES ABE CONFLICTING Ship Bent to Rescue Party Breaks Away From Base, Leaving Ten Men on Land, Who Must Remain Another Year. Lieutenant Sir Ernest H. Shackle ton has returned from his Antarctic expedition. . News of the achievements of the ex peditlon Is withheld tor the present A despatch from Sydney, N. S W., says that the - steamship Aurora, _of Lieutenant Sliackleton'a expedition, has broken from her moor ings at the Ross sea base, leaving most of the party ashore and uuable to embark. According to these advices, Lieuten ant Shackleton and his companions will have to remain another ye r be fore It will be possible to rescue them. Re liter's Telegram company says a wireless despatch has been received, announcing that the Aurora has gote adrift In the Antarctic sea, laving broken from her moorings In Ross sta while a party of ten men was on shore This party consisted of Lieutenant Aeneas Mackintosh and nine members of Ills staff. These ten men are thus left on the shore. The conseauences are that If Lieu tenant Shackleton has got through and crossed the Antarctic continent, there Is no ship to meet him, and the whole party will have to remain pn the shot of Ross sea tor another year. ROBS sea, named for the English ex plorer, John Ross,, who discovered It In 1842, Is between latitude 70.and 80, and Is within the Antarctic circle. The Shackleton base probab y Is be tween 1600 and 2000 miles from New Zealand. If Lieutenant Shackleton has reach ed this base, he has crossed the Ant arctic region to a point which Is per haps 800 or 1000 miles beyond the South Pole itself, where only Roald Amundsen and Captain Robert F Scott had been before him. The adventure of Sir Ernest, head Ing the British trans-Antarctic expe dition, had a threefold purpose, to navigate Antarctic on a meridian; tc obtain for the British (lag the honor oj 'being the first national emblem thus to be taken from seas to sea across this south polar realm, and to conduct scientific work rolatlng, among othei phases, to meteorology, geography, ge ology and geodetic survey.

Tbo prevention of litter Lu streets Urn been carried farther, perhaps, In tnon congested cities than baa yet been nec essary In Cleveland, writes 0.

Even In our moat crowded - quarters the streets and sidewalks art rarely used as locations for garbage *~- and ash cans, so one fruitful source of trouble In certain eastern cities is min imized in our case. We are reasonably v|. CLEVELAND STBUT CIMJMWB AT WOBK. successful In teaching the public to unf waste pniwr boxes, but there Is room for Improvement In socb works of pub lic education. We have tried during the past year to organize volunteei corps among school boys and girls whe will use their Influence against tbe use less littering of street*. Tbe success of the venture Is still at issue. In tbo long run, nothing encourages carefulness on the part of tbe public so much as efficient and careful cleaning. A man does not hesitate to throw pa lter or rubblsb Into a street that is al ready foul, do thinks twice If the street Is neat and clean. If there Is s waste liox at band, with a printed word of suggestion on tbe outside, he Is apt to use the box. Schools as Civic Centers. . Every school building In the United States /was pictured as a potential town ball at a recent session of the American Civic association tn Wash ington, at which Miss Margaret Wil son, daughter of the president, pre sided. Miss Wilson described the social center movement as a plan to make each school building, now idle eight een hours or more each day, the meeting place, of citizens of Its dis trict, associated In one nonpartisan, nonexclusive organization, to delib erate questions on which they vote and to promote In more direct ways the life and happiness of the neigh borhood and city or town. Tbe Idea that It was proposed to mako the schools social centers for public amusement or to throw them open free to whatever public organi zation might for the moment Interest the hoard of education, she said, was a misconception.
