Soldiers Realize Villas Report
ed Presence Just South Of
Juarez Is Menace.
COMPLICATIONS THREATEN
Many Believe They Are Likely
to Be Across Rio Crande in
Near Future.

CAMP WILSON, SAN ANTONIO,
Tex. Dec. 2,-Realizing that Villas
reported presence just south OF
Juarez constitutes n menace to the
border and threatens to complicate
the Mexican situation more than II
has been for several months. the
District militiamen today expressed
the belief that service alshg the Rio
Grande Is In prospect for them.
Many OF them are OF the opinion
that they may be sent across the
boundary line for service.
Secretary Bakers intimation to a
Southern Senator that Requests for
the withdrawal OF militiamen from
the border were not In order at this
time also was interpreted as niRnlh'
cant and strengthening the District
militiamen's belief.
Hopes Dissipsted.
While most OF the washingtonians
were hopeful that the signing OF the
protocol agreed to at the Atlantic
city conference would mean their re.
turn home for Christmas, the sudden
ascendancy OF villa and disturbed
conditions in northwestern Mexico
has dissipated all such thoughts.
The District miiitiamen as well as
the national gusrdsmen from the var.
ious states at Camp Wilson are all
wondering why General Pershing,
who vas sent into Mexico to get
villa" has not gotten the bandit.
The citizen soldiers point out that
General Pershing has known villas
whereabouts for several weeks, ana
knows the bandits position today
but has made no move to get him.
Notwithstanding the gravity OF tho
situation In northwestern Mexico'
