an humble person; in Mexico he is a
ling of millionaire. You look out
across a level plain and you see q
magnificent house of stone, cement
and great timbers, covering, some
times, as much as half an acre. Sur
rounding it are other houses, hun

structed of adobe, brush or even Of
canestalks. You are not looking at
4 town, but at a ranch settlement.
In the great house-which costs
many times more than all the little
houses put together-liye he hacien-
tado and his family. In the little
houses live the poems.

The president desires to move with

General Scott said today z that the
necessity of providing even a stronger
force for the border than it now has
while the American troops are operat-
ing in Mexico would necessitate using
some troops not now there. They
probably will be ordered from other
posts. No plans have been made SO

The return of the American troops
from Mexico complicated the situation
somewhat because the United States
now is confronted with the necessity
of issuing orders If they go in again.
Officials openly said they had hoped
the troops, once having crossed on a
good pretext would remain until Villa
and his band were disposed Of.
Cabinet members generally ex-
pressed indignation over the act OF
the bandits. At the same time the
cabinet members did not think the
United States should precipitate a
general connict with Mexico. They
made declarat tions that they thought
the United States had quarrel only
with Villa, and not with Carranza.
