Action ReUiUes Doubt
of Full Cooperation by
De Facto Government

San Antonio. Texas. March -. -
General Gavira's reported refusal TO
permit the American troops pursing
Francesca Villa to enter the Mexican
town of Casas Grandes revived doubt
at Fort Sam Houston to-day of the full
cooperation of the de facto govern
ment's forces.
The announcement of General Ga
Vlra, commandant at Juarez, that
American troops had arrived almost at
the outskirts of Casas Grandes and
planned to enter the town during the
night was the first news received by
Major-General Funston that the puni-
tive forces had reached that far south.
The speed with which the advance

repulsed the raid against Columbus
Colonel Slocum's men led the van
guard of the main expedition from
Columbus into Mexico.
NfoImons Safe
The arrival of the eXpeditionary
troops in the vicinity of Casas Grandes
was greeted along the border with a
sigh of relief insofar as the fate OF
the 500 American Mormons at Colonia
cerned. The soldiers are already
south of these settlements and conse-
quently all fears for the safety of the
colonists have been removed
While the expedition has passed
peacefully thus far into Mexico and
the CarranZa officials have shown
every indication of both their willing
ness and ability to avoid friction, the
tension along the Rio Grande has by
no means relaved. 1t is felt that
the real test will come when fighting
with the Villista bandits actually
starts. The lengthening lines of COM
munication of the Americans, it is
pointed, out offer tempting bait for
raids, by guerillas., The refugees who
throng the border towns are espe-
cially insistent that the first bloodshed
will be the signal for serious trouble.
However, thus far the border is
very peaceful. Captain w. d. Green,
the night chief of police of Ell Paso,
stated to-day that he had never known
the city to be so quiet and free from
crime.

Chambersburg, Pa, March IS
In the beginning, it must be said that
the above advertisement was not au-
thorized by the manufacturers of
Chambersburg. 1t is printed, however,
with the idea of showing just how
busy the Queen Citys industries really
are and how willing the manufacture
ers are to employ skilled labor. Every
plant is working to capacity and thou
sands of dollars are being paid out
weekly in wages. Chambersburg at
present is in the midst of q great pros
perity boom, partly due to the war,
but the various manufacturers are not
afraid that peace will mean a falling
off of business. Domestic orders on
hand would keep every industry busy
for some time to come and when for
eign shipments can be made with less
fear of seizure than at present, busi-
ness in this old town will be consider
ably better Then, again, in the case
of one hig industry here. the war has
proven handicap. because of the in
ability to safely transport products to
neutral countries.
Industries Steady Growth
Chambersburg has population OF
about $4,000 liVewire citizens and each
is doing all he can to boost the town.
The various businesses show improve
ment year after year and fine COM
PARSONS can be drawn between the
time each industry was established
and the present. There are knitting

Mormon scouts dashed into Col
Onia Dublan last night with the news
that the Americans were near. The
column which was first into this inn
portant American settlement was said
10 be the cavalry from Hachita.
Dispatches direct from Mexico, and
the official announcement from Major
General Funston. made it evident to-
day that the two American columns,
one from Columbus \. NJ, under
General Pershing, and the other from
llachta, \. NJ. under Colonel Dodd,
had gotten into close communication
with each other and probably had
formed an actual junction when a lit
tie more than half way on the route
to Casas GrandeS.
Strategy of Dash
Something of the strategy of the
dash on Villas trail also was revealed.
The Hachita column made its start
from San Bernardino ranch. which is
about the size of large county, where
the State of New Mexico extends some
forty miles south of the general east
and west line of the Ameican border.
BY using this American territory for
the first part of their advance from
Elachita, the flying cavalry command
of Colonel George Dodd, was able to
strike into Mexico at the shortest dis
tance from CaSaS GrandeS, a nttle
more than sixty miles of march.
The main column, under General
Pershing, at Columbus, \. NJ, start
ing from a point considerably farther
north of Casas Grandes, did not go due
south, but apparently veered to the
westward to get into touch with the
cavalry commands from Hachita.
Reports here that General Per-
shing's army intended to establish
base at GuZman were discounted in
dispatches that Guzman was still held
by Carranza troops and the American
columns were marching about 20
miles to the westward. This would
put them very close to the route of
the cavalry command of Colonel Dodd.
Guzman is an important constitution
alist garrison town about 80 miles
south of the point where General Per-
shing entered Mexico, and by going
past it to the west no question of oc-
cupation was raised.
Now South of Guzm:n
\ young American, the son of ]. T..
Stanford. who arrived here to-day
from GuZman, said that early yester-
day he was informed that the Ameri-
can main column under General Per-
shing already was we'll to the south
and west of Guzman. Some Ameri
cans left Guzman for the west, he said,
TO see the American troops.
One of the real menaces which the
Americans in their rapid progress
southwark are continually leaving be-
hind them in increasing numbers
comes from the bandits of no party
afiiliation, who operate singly or in
groups.
Several of these highwaymen were
located in the mountains in the Vicin
ity of Guzman. When seen yesterday
they did not offer to attack Ameri-
cans who We're travelling in small
groups. but as the lines of military
communication stretch out longer,
watchfulness of the American pa
trolls must be constant
