American Troops to
Invade Mexico.
FIVE THOUSAND MEN
IN THE EXPEDITION
White House Says Order Does
Not Mean Intervention.

Washington March 11.-President
Wilson has ordered American troops
over the Mexican border to capture
or kill the Villa bandits who raided
Columbus, n. NJ
Major General Scott, chief Of staff
of the army, announced that the ex-
petition will consist Of not less than
5000 men, all of which are available
on the border under Major General
Funston
In its present stage the presidents
order does not mean armed interven-
tion in Mexico. 1t provides for a
punitive expedition to deal with law
less forces over which the Carranza
government has no control
The following statement was issued
at the White House:
An adequate force will be sent at
once in pursuit of Villa, with the sin
gle object of capturing him and put
ting a stop to his forays.
This can be done, and will be done
in entirely friendly aid of the con
stituted authorities in Mexico. and
with scrupulous respect for the SOW
ereignty of that republic

RAILROAD MEN VOTE
FOR EICHT-R0UR DAY

Chicago, March lit was official.
~ announced here that the vote of
100000 engineers, firemen and train
men of American railroads over
whelmingly favored authorizing union
heads to enter into negotiations with
the railroads for an eight-hour day
The following statement was issued:
While the returns from the mem
hership Of those four organizations are
not completed it is evident that the
vote is overwhelmingly in favor Of
presenting to the railway companies
of the United States the requests for
the eight-hour day and the tin g and
one-half for overtime Consequently
the movement with that object in
view will be carried forward in it's
regular course.
THE present vote has no signifi-
cance except as an indication of the
desire of the men that this matter
should be pressed to a conclusion and
all reports that it has any signifi-
canoe as a strike vote are erroneous
and misleading. In the immediate flu
ture the requests will be presented to
the railway managements and the
necessary steps taken to make the
same effective"

GENERAL FUNSTON
FkVORS PURSUIT

WASHINGTON, March 11.-General
Funston, American border troop com
mander urgently recommended" to
the war department that American
troops be given authority to pursue
Mexican bandits into Mexico
Il urgently recommend" said the
generals message, received by Chief
of STAFF Scott, that American troops
be given authority to pursue into
Mexican territory hostile Mexican
bandits who invade American terri
tory. So long as the border is shell
ter for them they will continue to
harass our ranchers and towns to our
chagrin
General Pershng reports that the
Mexican consul at El Paso thinks
there should be no objection to Amer
lean troops entering Mexico in pur.
suit of Villa and he would wire his
government suggesting cooperation
TO protect Columbus from further
Mexican raids General Funston has
ordered a battalion of infantry from
Fort Bliss to garrison the town
This, he reported to the war depart
ment. would leave the cavalry free for
field movements He also ordered two
companies of infantry from Douglas,
Ariz., to San Bernardino.

VILLA, DEAD OR ALIVE,
AIM OF UNITED STATES.

1t was said at the White House that
the American government wants VII
la, dead or alive. and that no step will
be neglected to carry out that object
1t was declared that the United
States will not consider the punitive
expedition an invasion of Mexico. and
will continue to deal with the Carran-
"a government. The American govern
ment still is opposed to armed inter
vention in Mexico, but has decided
that the peace of both Mexico and
the United States is imperiled by the
continued activities of Francisco Villa.
The cabinet was unanimous in de-
Gliding that Villa must be caught
1t was said that the pursuit of Villa
will be undertaken in a comprehen-
sive way and organized plans will be
laid for his apprehension.
Officials received the word of the
decision to so after Villa with troops
with undisguised satisfaction Cabi-
net members expressed themselves as
greatly pleased. Army officers voiced
unanimous approval A general feel
ing of relief that the administration
had decided to take the step was ap-
parent.

REGARDED AS MUCH BETTER
French View OF the Situation at
Verdun.

Paris. March 1.-THE situation at
Nerdun is regarded as much better
from the French viewpoint as result
of the recent fighting The public is
greatly cheered by reports of success
full resistance on the part of the de-
tenders of the fortress NotWithstand-
ing an enormous expenditure of am
munition and unstinted sacrifice Of
life, the Germans have failed to bend,
much less break, the blue line.
No changes have occurred in the
situation before Verdun either east or
west of the Meuse, according to a
semi-official announcement
The announcement adds that the
violent bombardment continues on
both banks of the Meuse, but that
there had been no infantry attack by
the Germans
The inference drawn by the general
public is that the German wave has
advanced as far in its power with
out further wastage on a large scale,
which the German general staff hest
tates to make, with four army corps
already put out of action in the strug-
gle of eighteen days.

WILSON BELIEVES VILLA
MUST BE ELIMINATED.

The president himself is firmly con,
vinced Of the necessity of eliminating
Villa from the Mexican situation He
is represented as just as determined
to oust Villa as he was to oust Vic
toriano Huerta.
The announcement of the intention
Of the president to send troops into
Mexico was accompanied by scenes
not equaled by those at the White
House since the determination to send
the Atlantic fleet to Vera Cruz In 1874
Pains were taken by officials to
point out their hope that General Car
rama will realize the spirit In which
the American troops are being sent
after Villa.
Carranza will be notified immediate
ly that the United States has no inten-
ton of taking any Mexican territory
whatever and respects fully the sov-
Sreignty OF that nation.
American officials realize that Car
rama may have difficulty in consent
ing to the presence of American SOL
diers on Mexican soil, because of pop.
ular feeling In his country. Carran-
"a himself, however, Is believed to
be so eager for Villas capture that
he may cooperate with the American
troops

FOR ADVANCE ON TREBiZOND
Russia Preparing to Use Captured
Port as Naval Base

London, March 11.-Russia is pre-
pairing to use the recently captured
harbor of Ria as naval base for the
advance on Trebizond, which is thir-
ty-fve miles distant, according to Pc
trograd dispatches. Ria is ali ideal
harbor and offers ample shelter and
anchorage. In this way the Russians
will have the advantage of satisfac-
tory communications by sea, while the
Turks are handicapped by incredibly
bad land communications. The Rus
slams have complete mastery in the
Black sea and are keeping ceaseless
watch on the Bosporus.

NOT AS LARGE AS THE FRENCH
Correspondent Minimizes German Loss
at Verdun

London, March 11.-One correspond
ent from the Verdun region is quoted
as asserting that the German losses
have not been anywhere near as large
as those suffered by the French. He
says graves of soldiers are the best
indication of the extent Of losses.
To one not actually present during
a battle. before the bodies of the dead
are inferred, no better evidence of the
number of killed can be obtained than
from the rude crosses the German sol
dier usually and conscientiously
places upon those of his own dead.
In the advance across the Woeyre
plain toward the foothills of the for
tress the German losses seem to have
been almost insignificant.
