It was said at the White House that
the American government wants Villa
dead or alive and that no steps will be
neglected to carry out that object.
In a report Gen. Funston told the
war department he had accurate in
formation that Villa had 5000 troops
with him, that Carranza troops in this
vicinity had fed, and advised against
"frittering away the time of the army
guarding small towns" while villa
might have an opportunity to escape.
He advised that the plans Of the
army for Villas capture be surround
ed with secrecy for the sake of their
success.
At the cabinet meeting the posslbil-
fly was considered that some Carran-
IN followers would join Villa on the
assumption that the United States
was invading Mexico, but the presi-
dent felt convinced that Carranza and
the Mexican people could be made to

Doctor Pierce, who is head of the In
valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. Expert

wonderful eliminator Of uric acid. For

before the attacks of the SO men un,
der Major Frank Tompkins.
Requests of Col. Herbert Slocum,
commanding the Thirteenth Cavalry
here, and Of Major Tompkins to be al
lowed to renew the pursuit with a
larger force, were denied, pending the
organization of the large expedition.
Reports from Mexican sources say
that Villa apparently is carrying out
plan to elude pursuit by breaking up
his forces into small bands and hiding
among the mountains. Some of his
forces are reported approaching the
Sonora state border. Others are said
to be making their way southwark
and southeastward toward the noun
tains of the San Geronimo district,
from which Villa started March l with
the announced intention Of invading
the United States.
Military men here believe that when
Villa is found and pushed on both
sides he will not stand and fight.
This belief is based upon the exper-
fences of the American troops in the
surprise attack and the subsequent
pursuit of the bandits by Major Tomp-
kins, who described their fight as
practically roUt
Concentrating Forces.
Two regiments Of infantry and a
battalion of mountain artillery are be-
ing sent here from tn East, in addl.
tion to a battery OF the Sixth Artillery
from Nogales, Ariz., and signal com.
pany.
The First Squadron Of the Thir,
teenth Cavalry also has been ordered
to rejoin the regiment.
To the Thirteenth, because of its
exploit In beating off an overwhelm.
ing number OF Mexicans after stiff
fight, in which they inflicted possibly
Is times the number Of their own cas-.
ualties, is said to have been assigned
the duty Of taking Villas trail Owing
to the patrol duty to which the army
has been assigned ever since the out
break of the Madero revolution IN
1910, the regiment has had on duty
here only two-thirds of its strength.
The First squadron, under Lieut. r.
Rives, has been stationed at Mario
Tex, more than $50 miles east of here,
and assigned to patrol stretch OF
territory IS miles long, 1t may be
several days before this squadron will
be assembled here.

understand that the United States had
no idea Of impairing the sovereignty
of their country. Strong language was
used in the cabinet meeting in denun-
citation Of Villas acts.
The House foreign affairs commit

of the president, and Chairman Flood
explained why the president did not
feel that 1t was necessary to ask the
