Fl Paso, Tex, March 2G. Down
around Casas Grandes the natives are
seeing things" since the America SOL
diers went there. First were the Amer
leans themselves. The natives never
had seen a clean-cut, soldierly soldier
before. and the Americans were reve-
lation. Then came the motor trucks.
marvels the Mexicans could not
fathom. The great trucks, moving
swiftly without visible power, made the
natives afraid.
When the big army biplanes swooped
down upon them the poems fed. II
was too much. The devil was surely
with the "gringoes," they said.
And now a new puzzle has been pre-
sented to them In the negro troopers.
A negro cavalryman returned to-day
from Caas Grsndes on sick leave. He
is still laughing over the puzzled man
ner in which the Mexicans regarded
the 10th Cavalry.
"For a while they just stood around
gawking at u.s." he said. "Then they
began talking excitedly among them

Friendly -Funston Reports
Cooperation.

Washington. March 26. War De
partment adyiccs from General Fun
ston to-day and tonight were meagre
and showed no change ia the situation
along the border or in Mexico. General
Pershlng's official confirmation OF press
reports, hat Villa had escaped from
a Mexican force near Namiquipa and
was being pursued southwark by Amer
lean cayalrymen, had not been re-
ceiyed when the department closed.
Secretary Baker announced that, at
General Funston's request, two add
ticna motor truck companies, Of TWEEN
ty-seyen trucks each, had been ordered
to the border for use in maintaining
General Pershing's lines of communi-
cation. Every mile added to the dis
lance into Mexico covered by the
American troops makes necessary fur
Their facilities for moving supplies and
equipment.
Interest here centred tonight in the
action that may result from the con-
ference of Senate Republicans to-mor-
row on the border situation. Cnoilc'al
aGyices still reelected uneaslness IN
American border towns over vague re-
ports of concentration of Mexican
troops near the line. The Republican
Senator's will meet for the avo~ed
purpose Cf compelling the government
10 increase is military precautions
along the international line.
Since President Wilson made public
Yesterday his Pronunciation Of clrcula-
tors of intlammatory rumors. and since
official reports denied that there was
any ground for alarm. some members
Of Congress thought tonight that the
conference might take no action.
Press reports from General Perish
ing's Headquarters bear out the opinion
held by officials here ~ 20 the CO.
operation being given in he pursui Z
Of Villa by C2-.aaZa hoops. Since the
messages are censored at the front, OF
fcers said. il was certain they re-
fected General PorshiEg's views, based
on actual information Of what is 90
ing on IN the rugged country where
he is operating.
General Carranza's latest communi-
cation regarding inc plDpVe'N ~.
col. covering the use Of Mexican rail =
roads to supply American troops, had
not reached Washington tonight. IN
official sdvices from Carranza head
quarters have said that while he ap-
proved the general outline Of the
agreement worked out here. there were
some details that needed clarlilcatlon.
Adviccs tonight from Mexico City
that General Carranzs was calling the
attention of his officials by special or
Ger TO the section Of the treaty OF
fs4S providing for arbitration Of dis
rutes between the United States and
Mexico. aroused much. interest here.
II was thought possible that General
Carranza was calling attention to this
provision in order 20 assure his coun-
trvmcn that permission for the use OF
Mexican railroads by American forces
in pursuit Of Villa could be granted
with propriety. Until the substance
Of the communication AZ 10 the pro-
tocol is available, however, the connec-
ton between il and the treaty stlpu-
lation cannot be determined.
