SUNDAY. MAY 31. 3RD AND 6TH CAVALRY VIE TO LEAD MEXICAN ADVANCE Each Have Honorable Records a Mile Long—Are at Present Chafing on the Plains of Texas and Wondering to Which of Them Will Be Given the Honor of Leading the Way From Vera Cruz to Mexico City. Washington. —Two regiments of cavalry, each with honorable records f- ’mile long, are chafing down on the plains of Texas and wondering to which of them the powers that be here in the national capitol will award the honor of leading the way from Vera Cruz to Mexico City. There was some stir —in fact con siderable hubbub—in the ranks of the Sixth Cavalry a few weeks ago when a certain piece of news floated down the line to Galveston. It was learn ed that Colonel Augustus E. Blockson, commanding the Third .Cavalry had made formal application to Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war, on be half of his officers and men, to be lead the advance. Old Defendant. “Why not the Sixth?” howled the khaki clad hosemen of that persua sion. “Aint’ they always depended on us before. Didn't we fight thir teen brands of redskins, not to speak of the Philipinos and Chinks and toe Johnny Rebs back in ’63?" So the claims of the Sixth were as consistently lobbied in the state, war and navy building as had been those of their rivals and at the present writing the men of the Sixth appear to have a shade the better of it. They’ll probably have the first taste of those seaside plains of Vera Cruz, several degrees hotter and dustier than the Texas stretches over which Colonel J. A. Gaston has had them trekking for many a moon. Little to Choose. In records there is little to choose between the two bodies. But the Third has the unique distinction of having been the advance guard of the United States troops when General Scott in 1887 marched and shot and sabred his way to Cerro Gordo and Chaputepec and finally to Mexico City. The regiment was organized on May 19, 1846, as the Regiment of Mounted Riflemen. The designation was changed in 1861. Its first colo nel was Persifer F. Smith, who later ERUPTION THICK AND CRUSTY-LIKE On Head First in Small Pimples, Spread Over Top, Three Cakes Cuticura Soap and Two Boxes Cu ticura Ointment Cured in Month, Pine Knot, Ky.—" The breaking out began on baby’s head first.

A month before two companies went to Point Isabel, thence to Monterey and later to Tampico joining at Lebos Is land, the little peak of beach in the gulf which came into international prominence recently when Huerta put out the light and United States sailors lit her up again. On March 3, 1847. the regiment sailed from Lobos Island and six days later they landed at Sacrifices Is land. Then they led in the invest ment of Vera Cruz, which was even less of a picnic than the landing a couple of months ago. Numerous Deeds. On the march to Mexico City the cavalrymen performed numerous deeds of valor and lost four officers and forty men killed and had a large number wounded. The Sixth Cavalry is even better known than the Third. It won dis tinction in the Civil War, the Indian wars, the Spanish-American war, and the Philippines. The regiment was organized May 4, 1861. Like the Third it has changed its title. Curiously, too, the Sixth was organized under the name of the Third Regiment of Cavalry. Five months later the Sixth received its present designation. The regiment participated in the Peninsular campaign under the com mand of General Stoneman. It earn ed perhaps its first fame at the battle of Williamsburg which is opened. After this engagement it pursued the enemy through Yorktown. Later the Sixth was at Malvern Hill, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, Winchester and Appomattox Court House, besides numerous less important but often right sharp clashes. Chased Bad Redskins. After the Civil War the regiment set out after Indians and was chas ing bad redskins for many years. It gave a taste of steel to the Chey ennes, Kiowas, Comanches, Apaches and Sioux. Its famous colonel, Eu gene A. Carr and many other officers won medals of honor in these Indian wars. Lieut. General Adna R. Chaf fee retired, was an officer in the Sixth Cavalry for twenty-five years and won the brevet of lieutenant-colo nel for his gallant service against the Indians. Major General William H. Carter, recently in command of the Second Division at Texas City, and now in charge of the Hawaiian De partment, won a medal of honor for bravery while a first lieutenant in the Sixth Cavalry. And the Third Cavalry hasn’t much right to crow over the Sixth on the score of Mexican experience. This will not be the first time that the Sixth has crossed the border. It went right into the Mexican moun tains after Chirachuas Indians in 1882. In March, 1883, General Crook took Troop I under Chaffee who was then a captain, on his famous expedition to the Serra Madres in Mexico, re turning in July. They marched 900 miles and brought in three head chiefs and about 400 hostiles. To Florida. At the beginning of the Spanish- American War the regiment was sta tioned in Nebraska and It was sent to Florida. Here it became part of the cavalry division of the Fifth Army Corps. It sailed for Cuba on June 14, 1898, one troop remaining behind. The regiment distinguished itself at San Juan and Santiago. After that war the regiment was stationed in New York, Alabama, Kansas, Oklahoma and California until 1900, when it was sent to the Philippines. Several trooi>s of the regiment also went to China to help put down the Boxer uprising. The regiment has been in the Phil ippines several times since then. For some months it has been in the Sixth Brigade at Texas City. When its colonel, Chas. M. O’Connell was detailed to the Inspector General’s Department and assigned to duty in the Central Department, Chicago, Lieutenant Colonel Thomas B. Dugan took charge for a time. It first ap peared In small pimples and then got thick and crusty-like. It spread over the top of her head In a solid crust.
