cy in expressing their opinion that to 1 attempt to pursue Villa farther, with l out the aid of railroads, is almost a 1 hopeless task, unless of course, some 1 lucky accident intervenes. The one 1 incalculable factor is the question as l to whether Villa is wounded or not The Mexican commanders are em- l phatic in their assertions that the 1 bandit chief is seriously disabled but their belief is not shared by the Am- erican commanders.

 Alar1nists Are Quiet
 The alaaSnists on the border have been remarkably quiet during the
 last few days. While no one disputes the fact that the international situa- ton is a very delicate one with grave
 possibilities hinging on a misstep by either side, the control which Carran-
 ga has shown he possesses over his
 lieutenant and the calm with which
 the Mexican people have treated the
 crossing of the border by American
 troops has brought about a decided
 feeling of optimism.
 The wild stories of the massng of
 Mexican troops in proximity to the
 border, among the most popular yarns
 with the alarmists, have apparently
 died a natural death. The favorite
 number of troops so massed was 2O,-
 900, although enthusiasts were willing to go as high as 10000. As the most
 authentic information places the num-
 Der of troops that the de facto govern
 ment has in all Mexico between O,0O0
 and 60,00O, it was difficult for the ''ru-
 moristas" to explain where the CO.,

In this connection it is pointed out that in spite of all the troubles that have beset Mexico in the last five years the vast majority of the population have remained quiescent. Carefully compiled statistics show that never at any time has there been more than 100, 900 men in arms int he repub- lie out of a population of l5,O0O, ,OOO.
