The army censorship to-day yelled
the number and personnel of the adj

Former Dutch Minister of
War Does Not Think Britain
Will Land in Netherlands

Amsterdam, via London. April A.;
"I do not for moment suggest there
is a possibility that Great Britain
intends to land her new armies on
the Dutch coast said former Minis
ter OF War Colyn to-day in an inter-
view, regarding recent mysterious
military preparations in Holland. I'VE
have the assurance of Britain that
she will respect our neutrality and
we rely upon that assurance But the
question is what would Germany think
of this?
after the Germans begin seriously
to be afraid of such a contingency,
namely of the landing of British
troops in Holland, what influence will
that have on Germanys' attitude to-
ward us? We must assume that she
is acquainted with our defensive
capacity.
1T know that against this it may be
said that the British will not make
a landing in Holland and that IL they
tried we are quite capable of stopping
a British march eastward or south
eastward"

Caught Up With Bandits
by Taking Straight Road

April 4.-The strategy whereby. after
two weeks of pursuit. the Villa band
under General Elisieo Hernandez was
overtaken by American troops and dis
persed, was revealed here to-day.
The plan was to sen the American
column in straight line along "the

the surrender of Reyes would break
organized resistance to the de facto
government and end the hopes of
Villa. There is a disposition, however,
to accept his offer conservatively. and
it was declared that six weeks will be
necessary for General Reyes to notify
all his followers, and there is a pos
sibility that this may be a ruse to
gain time for Villa.
1t has been frequently reported that
Villa was making his way to the north
of Torreon in order to effect a juno

City Politics Awakening
Increasing Interest

City politics is beginning to simmer
considerably, and give promise of de-
veloping into lively little skirmish
before election day. There are eight
candidates before the people, with
three places to be filled, and naturally
the friends Of the candidates, are get
ting somewhat anxious.
An effort is being made to create
an issue around Ralph Voyce, who has
been brought out by the labor unions
of Ell Centro, the inference being that
Voyce is not right on the booze ques-
ton. This is looked on as a joke by
all who know Voyce, for he is as rigid
on the temperance question as any
person in the city. He is a man of
family, and has been in business here
for years.
Generally, however, it is not a cam
paign with issues, but one in which
the personality of the candidates will
chiefly figure.
One of the strongest candidates for
the office is d. R. Crawford, and
others who will run strong are A. N.
Bucklin and George Watkins.

development showing the American
forces to be menaced by forces in
Mexico, it is believed there IS much
apprehension lest at any moment the
situation there take turn for the

of the Mexican soldiers. Then there
is the fact of the massing of large
force near the line, in a position
where they could make trouble for
the Americans, and which move is sup
