HEROES ON THE BORDER
The following article, clipped
from Twelfth Cavalry Standard,
was received from Sgt. Charlio
Hill, Troop A, 12th Cav., Colum-j
bus, N. Mex. Sgt. Hill is n son
of W. L. Hill of Sparta, and is
known to many in Eaglo Va'lcy,
having been cmplojed by Clar
ence Wallace prior to enlisting.
DURKEE'S SURVEY.
Nothing but tho bleak, barren
sands and mountains to give them
rhfor. Nothing but the moon and
stars at night to talk with. Mail
once or twice a week. Thev have
not seen a bright light, or a trol
ley car, nor a decent American
womap (the jpy of thejr hope?)
for twelve, fifteen or twenty
months. Thc-y have not been in
side a home, nor heard the soft
tono of music, nor the mclody of
a sweet woman's heavenly voice.
There is no excitementof roaring
cannon, no flights of bursting
bombs in the air. Every day is
like their yesterday, and the to
morrow holds no charms. These
nro men who IjoU) back the sl
bandits of Mexico when all is
quet. These are men who arc
forced to remain in the service,
who have beaten paths along
eighteen hundi-cJ'r.riWof barren
lands, while the cantonments arc
being demobilized ppd the men
are returning to their homes with
warm welcomes from their fath
ers, thejr mothers, sisters, broth
ers and friends. These aro the
men who will continue to make
lifo safe along the bordor fpr 30
a month, while the business in
dustries aro giving every advan
tage to men who are returning
froin the demobilised forces of
America.
We did not know they were on
the border- we did not read about
them. Wo did not know they
werp tho first to answer the call
to arms to down the huns. Yet
they did all of this and were as
signed to tho task of guardingour
Mexican frontier from the Gulf to
tho Pacific Ocean, while the oth
era who went "over there" are
roturning and being mustered out
of sprvice. To ths Mexican he
sto.od as a wall upon which was
written the notice: "You stay on
your side of this lino and behave
yourselves." If they were not
there we might havesought some
dugout to escape tlm. attacking,
invading army from the south
west. These are men who aro forced
to remain down thore, miles and
miles f(rom civilization, thinking
of home and mother. Uncrowned
heroes are they but they have
served and aro serving their coun
try. His oho thought at nights
must bo of mother, all wrinkled
and gray, eitting by tho fireside
thinking of her lonoly boy down
on tho bbrder. Can ho ever re
turn to tho old homo whore things
havo changed so much where no
ono but mother will be anxious to

BACK FROM THE fRONT
Elmer E. SJmonis arrived home
Sunday, being tho first of our
Eaido Valley boys to return who
had been in actual battle. He
landed in New York on March 2
and was mustered put at Camp
Lewis on April 3rd
Elmer entered servico on June
21 th last year, anu on August 2 1th
ianded in France as a member of
the '10th Division. On October
pth was transferred to Co. L,
322nd Inf., 81st Division, (termed
the Wild Cats, and throe days
later was on the battle front at
Vosague Woods,
This was officiary termed a
"quiet sector" but was under
continuous shell fire from the
huns. Elmer was here for twelve
days, receiving a slight wound on
his right cheek on his first night
in the trenches. Ho was after
wards out pn two'nmht patrols
but got through unharmed, al
though pn the first one he said
that l)e had u very close call.
Tio men, about eighty in num
ber, werb marching in squad for
mation when tho enemy discov
ered them and all but eighteen
were either kjllod or wounded.
One night whilo standing guard
ho heard some ppches cutting the
barb wjro eptangfements, he
throw some hand grena'des to
them and tlje results proved epJ
tirely satisfactory. On another
night whilo on guard he had tho
satisfaction of capturing two hup
prisoners.
Elmer says that thp hardships
endured by the men at tho front
wero terrible. For ten days, and
nights put of the twelve ho never
had an opportunity to lie down)
and added to this was the short
age of rations. Some days but
one meal was served, others two.
occasionally three, and on some
days nonp.
Afler the armistice was sjgned
uimer wus stationep; lor six.
weeks at tho convalescent center
at St. Agny. Here he said the
conditions were most deplorable.
In order to secure their rations
(which oftimes consisted of a
lone hunk of breud, and occas
ionally blue with mould at that),
tho men wero compelled to stand
in lino from ono to three hours
in mud shoe-top doep and often
in pouring rain. Providing a man
was ubla and willing, ho was al
lowed to repeat the operation
three times daily but Elmer said
that he often went twenty-four
hours without eating rather than
underiro tho ordeal.
Elmer is loud in his praise of
tho service rendered by the lied
Cross, Salvation Arrriy dnd tho
Knights of Columbus, but has
nothing to say for any other or
ganization. Mrs. Katherino M. Robinson,
died in iiakeron luesdoy even
ing, aged 94 years. Mrs. Robin
son was tho mother of Mrs. P.
T. Wyatt of Eaglo Valley and
Was rjuito well known In this
section. She was also tho grand
mother of Miss Opal Robinson.
