VILLA EVADES
MEXICAN TROOPS
Difficulties Of the Punitive
Expedition Increase.
BANDIT CHIEFS GOOD START
Now Believed That Villa Was Victor
In Battle With carranzistas Near
Namlquipa, Instead OF the De
Faeto Government Troops.

San Antonio, Tex.-Francisco villa
has escaped from the Mexican troops
that had checked him near NamiQulpa,
and three columns OF American cav.
airy are pursuing him.
Already they are almost $50 miles
south OF the border, and unless Mexi.
can forces bring the elusive bandit to
a stand, this distance will be greatly
Increased by the close Of the week.
Villas success in eXtricating himself
from the dangerous position into
which he had been driven by the
American punitive force was related
IN detailed report by General Perish
ing that reached General Funston.
Colonel Dodd is commanding the ad-
vanced columns that are riding hard
after Villa and his men, and General
Pershing has divided his forces so as
to provide supporting columns along
the thinly stretched lines Of communi-
cations from his most advanced base
at Ell Vale,
A Lengthenlng Line.
From FL Vale another line IS be-
ing maintained back to Casas Grandes
from where communication with the
border is maintained. General
Pershing himself is somewhere south
CT Casas Grandes directing the work
of holding together his forces and d.
recting so far as possible the opera
tions OF Colonel Dodd: cavalry is be-
ing used along the lines communicat.
fng with Ell Vale. where a detachment
of infantry Is stationed
Three aeroplanes are at FL Vale
and viii be used In scouting as soon
as the high winds that have been
sweeping that part Of Mexico for al
most week subside. These winds,
according to General Pershing, have
made effective assistance by the aero
planes impossible. OF the eight ma.
chimes that went into Mexico. two are
still out Of commission. They were
damaged in the flight from Columbus
TO Casas Grandes.
Details Of the operations about
Namiquipa that concluded with the
escape Of villa were not revealed, but
there is little reason to believe that ne
was badly whipped or even weakened
bv the fghting directed against him
by the de facto government troops.
Unless fresh Mexican forces are sent
to meet Villa there appears no reason
why he should not make his way un-
Interrupted into the mountains OF the
Guerrero district, toward which he ap-
pears to be moving.
The Bandits Chance.
Once there II is conceded his cap
ture will be difficult: and should he
choose to pass through the district
on into the south, there are trails over
which he might move his little army
until a juncture is made with one or
more Of his rowing organizations in
Southern Chihuahua OF Northern
DURANGO.
II villa moves into the districts
farther south military men realize that
the problem Of capturing him will be-
come many times more complex. More
troops win be necessary and their pro-
visioning by way Of country roads win
become practically an impossibility.

For several years one of the big sea
'oard rcfners Of foreign grown sugar
arri"d on campaign in favor of Gun
taxing sugar. Cheaper sugar. was the
boon of blooms to be realized by the
removal of the import duty on the re-
liners raw material. The solicitude for
the consumer displayed by the re6ners
mouthplece was touching in the ex.
IRENE. 1t included even the blazoning
of the utterly unfOunded claim that
fee sugar would mean a reduction OF
wo cents a pound in the price paid for
his sugar.
since the announcement of Secre
any of the Treasury McAdOO in favor
# the retention of the duty on sugar,
his same seabOard refner has started
new campaign through the same rep.
"'rntative whose cherished ideal form
'rv was the welfare of the consumer.

This time, however, the primary oh
Get of the campaign is to bring about
he taxation of sugar. His proposal is
30 place on sugar an excise tax similar
to that imposed on liquors and tobac-

course, would pay cent of such taxa
ton. FROM the rcfners' viewpoint,
however, the chief recommendation of
the proposed tax is that it would de,
Stroy the Industry of sugar production
in the United States even more quick
~ and fully as effectually as would
the free importation of foreign sugar.
1t would thus put an end to the com.
petition which the importing refner
now meets from the home grown pro
duct.
All Of which goes to show that the
primary object of the refners cam
Iatgh is MT the welfare of tho con

the rCfners' competitors.
