WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-High com mendation for Colonel Herbert J. Slo- cum and his men of the Thirteenth Cavalry for their prompt and valor- ous action" in repalsing and pursuing Villa and his bandits when they at- tackled Columbus, N. M.. last March. is given in a special inspectors re port on the incident. which the war department announced yesterday had been approved by Secretary Baker.
 The raid. which brought relations between the United States and the de facto government of Mexico to a crisis and caused the dispatch of General Pershing's punitive expedition, was investigated at the departments or der by an officer of the inspector gen erals office attached to the staff of General Pershing. The report which is concurred in by General Funston and General Pershing. disposes finally of the incidents so far as the depart ment is concerned.
 The inspectors report said:
 "I recommend that Colonel Slocum be advised that no stigma rests upon his conduct of command at Columbus, N NJ. at the time of Villas attack, and that he and his command are highly commended for their prompt and valorous action in the repulse of Villas forces, and the pursuit of the same"
