General Erwin'a official statement
stating the cauae for tbe crossing of
American troops read:
“Upon the affidavit of three reput-
able citizens of El Paso that the Vil
listas fired Into El Paso and upon the
investigation of the wounding of a
Mexican girl in El Paso showing she
waa wounded by a shot fired by Vil
listas and upon Investigation by the
district Inspector of these headquart-
ers and two officers of the police
force in El Paso ft was shown that
shots undoubtedly coming from the
direction of the Villista forces had
been fired into El Paso
The twenty-fourth infantry fourth
battalion crossed the international
bridge to Juarez The Fifth and
Seventh cavalry regiments crossed at
three fords east of El Paso The bat-
talion of the Eighty second artillery
crossed east of the stockyards There
were approximately 3600 American
troops on Mexican soil ten minutes
after they were ordered to make tbe
crossing
Following the wounding of Corp
Edward Reilly of the motor transport
company and Corp Earl Smith of the
Twenty-fourth infantry by stray bul-
lets General Erwin ordered this port
closed and the international bridge
was taken over by the military
No one Is permitted to cross to Ju-
arez without a military pass El Paso
troops are patroling the entire river
to prevent Villa raids
The American cavalry chased the
rebels ten miles into the country
'When they crossed the border again
over fifty of the Villa band had been
slain by the Americans nine men
and many horses and muies captured
The Americans suffered no casualties
while on the Mexican side
Real Battje In Progress
1 Villistas who were driven from
Juarez at S o’clock Sunday morning
after severe fighting with the Car-
ranza garrison reopened the attack
from the east in the evening Fort
Hidalgo was shelling the advancing
rebels
The extent of the battle leads to tha
conclusion it may be a decisive ac
tion
Fighting was resumed at 5:30 p m
By 6 o'clock the rifie fire was more
general than at ' any time Saturday
night Federal troops charged tbe
rebels as they advanced down Calle
Comercio the principal business
street repulsing them
This dashing cavalry charge was
costly to the federals however as
Col J Gonzales Escobar garrison
commander and hero of the early
morning battle was wounded five
times and hurried to El Paso for medi-
cal treatment
With the arrival of reinforcements
the firing continued for more than
thirty minutes with the severity of a
desperately fought general engage-
ment Slowly the federals were forced
hack Down Calle Comercio swept
the wave of battle into the main busi-
ness district It was then that Col-
onel Escobar charged the rebels with
waving saber
Villa Driven Back
The coup was successful and the
Villa force was driven back Colonel
Escobar received five wounds as he
charged past the customs house
Captain Zuniga aide de camp to
Colonel Escobar who rode a pace be-
hind him in the charge also was
wounded in the thigh and sent to join
his chi'f in an El Faso hospital

Both pilot and navigator were In
good aplrll hut terribly fatigued
Every mil of tbe flight wag a ter-
rible battle against the element Of
the human qualities that combined to
conquer the air on tbla direct Irene-
Atlantlc rout unshakable pluck waa
unquestionably the decisive factor
To Captain Aleock and Lieutenant
Brown goe the honor of having made
the first non-stop air paaaage of the
Atlantic the achievement going to thi
credit of Great Britain
The Atlantic had already been span
ned In an air Journey however tha
feat having been performed by Amerl-
cun navy officers In the seaplane NC-4
with a stop at tbs Axores enrouts
from New Foundland to Lisbon Port-
ugal tbe journey being May Cl anJ
ending May 27
Lesa successful but no less daring
than tbe achievement of the Vickers-
Vlmy pilot and navigators was the
recent flgiht of two otler British
airmen Harry O Hawker and Lieut
Commander Mackenzie Grieve On
May 19 they covered more than halt
the distance across the Atlantic be-
fore being forced to alight in mid
ocean For nearly a week they were
given up for lost but finally turne-l
up safe on board a small craft whicn
took them almost to Ireland before
the news of their dramatic rescue was
relayed ashore by a British destroyer
Tbe successful flight of the British
airplane and the American aeaplane
was made In pursuance of different
phases of experiment in the problems
of the air Elaborate precautions
were taken to guide the NC-4 and her
companion fliers by destroyers placed
at frequent Intervals the aim being
not so much to make a record as to
establish the practicability of cross-
ocean traffic by sir under conditions
of comparative safety
The attempt of Hawker and the
successful flight of Captain Aleock
and Lieutenant Brown were made for
a prize of $:0000 offered by the Lon-
don Daily Mall The Idea was to
make a contribution of moment to the
practical side tf airtifiavlgCnon but
the appeal to the competitors was In
no small measure to their sporting
instinct the fliers running strong
chances of being Irretrievably lost at
sea if anything happened to their ma-
chine A comparison of the records shows
that the NC-4 carried five men 2150
miles in twenty hours 37 minuter
while the Vlckers-Vimy plane flew
with two men 1650 miles in sixteen
hours 12 minutes The achievement
of the British fliers set a new record
for distance covered in a single flight
the longest single Jump of the NS-4
having been approximately 1200
miles from New Foundland to Horta
in the Azores

When Congress Laughs
Senator John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi Is against almost all legis-
lation which create new commissions
“Once started these things go on
forever” he said In the senate one day
“A friend of mine once had one of
these commission Jobs' After it had
been running several years I asked!
him one day:
‘"Judge that commission of yours-
has been running quite a while hasn’t
It 7
“ ‘Yes John It hns’ he answered
“ ‘Well’ I said ‘don’t you think yora
will be able to wind up the work
soon?’
“‘Well John he replied Tin' get-
ting along In years but if I have any
luck that commission ought to last as
long as I do’
“And It did" concluded the Missis-
slpplun with a smile
Very True
“Yes sir" said the richly clothed)
and well-fed profiteer "all my life my
motto has been ‘Honesty’s the best
policy’ and always I’ve tried to live
up to It”
“Oh really” asljed the small man
“Even If It meant living on 20 shillings
a week?"
“Well no I won't go as for as to
say that As a matter of fact honesty
doesn’t necessarily mean poverty
After a long life In the world of com-
merce I’ve found that honesty pays Id
the end Yes sir honestv pays”
“Quite so” said the smail ‘man
glancing at the other's fur coat “And
you’ve probably also found that dis-
honesty gets puidl”
