Ia remained unconfrmed today A
few definite facts about the American
expedition today stood out with con
siderable clearness as result of the
official published reports and news
brought here by Americans who have
been in touch with some portion of
American movements.
1t seems certain that of the two
columns which are somewhere in
Mexico one was constituted for speed
while the other was moving more slow
". The swift-footed column was the
auxiliary army, mostly cavalry, which
went into Mexico so miles west of the
main army Of Gen. Pershing when his
forces crossed at Columbus, ~ NJ.
The secrecy which has surrounded
the movement of the main column has
been slight compared with the record
of this western fort. There is reason
to believe from the official announce
ment that the western column may
have gone into Mexico earlier than
the main body. Every report arriving
here asserts that the western wing has
travelled the farther. BY these same
reports the two columns win form a
junction near the threatened Norman
colonists, possibly in the Casas Grandes
region.
