QUIET NIGHT is SPENT
BY TROOPS IN CAMP
Ior AssoelArEp srEuul

COLUMBUS, N. M. via mail TO Ell
Paso. March 16.-Tha American ex-
petition which entered Mexico yester-
day spent an uneventful night camp
ed but a short distance across the
American line.
Brigadier General John j. Pershing.
commander Of the expedition, accom-
panied the force as far as the border
and then returned and with another
part Of the troops entered Mexico to
the flank of the main army.
Despite rigid censorship, which
closed all telephone and telegraph
wires to military movements. 1t be-
came known that the number which
entered Mexico is about 5000.
Aeroplanes and MOTOR trucks are
believed to have passed with the ex-
petition.
Flying conditions owing to the
clearness of the atmosphere, are ideal.
When General PershLng gave the
order to march at 10 O'clock Wcdnes-
day morning the soldiers swept for
ward with n shout.
Cowboys off the ranches enrolled as
scouts and cavalry led the way. Two
infantry regiments, some field artillery
and wagon train followed.
Colonel Slncumb met Colonel Da-
villa. Of. the Mexican forces. who prom
tsed that no resistance would be made

Mexican population in Palomas, sol
diers and civilians. with one excep-
ton, cleared away when the Ameri-
cans passed through the town.

es OF which Villa is believed to have

But the interest of the border In
the American advance was practically
overshadowed by the question us TO
how the presence OF the soldiers of
the United States on Mexican terri
tory would be taken by the Carranza
military officials and soldiers.
General Gales. the military gov
ernor OF Sonora. was the man of the
hour" His troops variously eSti-
mated at from 1900 TO 10000 men
garrisoned the frontier town and the
immediate interior OF the section into
which the American soldiers had en-
tered. For days reports and rumors
that Calles's troops were disaffected
and bitterly resented the pursuit of
Villa by American soldiers have
flooded this region. The definite an
nouncement that the Stars and
Stripes had been carried over the in
ternational line increased the rumors
and reports to deluge out OF which
1t was almost impossible TO pick what
ever grounds Of truth might exist.
There seemed no question that a
considerable portion of the Mexican
soldiers and civilians in the north of
the republic were bitterly hostile TO
the action Of the United States. The
higher civil and military authorities
of the Carranza government showed
every desire to prevent friction. but
1t remains doubtful whether they can
control the masses of the population
In the very northern district arc
becoming very restless. due to the
sedulous propaganda against Ameri-
cans which Is being carried on among
them from unknown sources. Car
rama and ojlnaga are the storm CEN
tiers.

Thursday indicated that 500 Americans

credit to Carranza forces about Casas

day as the dust-powdered American
columns went over the international
line reached here Thursday via cour-
Ter.
From hill overlooking the six
square miles where the army was still
encamped at IL o'clock Wednesday
forenoon. the military organization
appeared to civilian spectators like u
mass OF men and horses
gray cannon, wagons, mule teams and
ambulances. But ut 11:4O a. m.
when the word was given to form
for the pursuit of Villa. the appar-
ent confusion disappeared.
In very few minutes each organ

tillery. ambulances, signal corps and
cooks wagon, grouped and dove
tailed into rapidly lengthenlng col

guidons of the Thirteenth cavalry
snapped in the breeze.
Behind the Thirteenth marched the
compact brown columns of the Sixth
and the Sixteenth infantry. Next at

machine guns were packed in COM
mercial looking bundles on mules.
Supply trains and ambulancea In n
long line brought up the rear. Vast
dust clouds swept up from the line OF
march.
The feeling among the men seemed
by the remarks of one duty perspIring
trooper, who as he hurried past a
group of civilian slghtseers, ex-
claimed:
We've got our chance at last"
He grinned ms he spoke.
A row women whose husbands were

1t was almost noon when The first
cavnlrymen trotted across the line.
While the troops were going out
three automobile loads OF Mexican
prisoners appeared, They were sus.
poets held In connection with Villas
raid.
There was no demonstration OF any
sort among the spectators over these
prisoners.

Unexpected Sharp Advance in

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-The opening on

around the ring doing some business. The
unexpected sharp advance in Liverpool.
where prices were up 20 to 33 points at
the start here, whereas they were due 10
come to 4la cents lower. caused an alb
normal demand.
Liverpool was the best buyer and was
followed closely by recent shorts who took
their losses The proflt-takng indulged
in by longs probably prevented the market
from becoming runaway affair. South
ern interests purchased the near months
and sold late options.
A glimpsce at the uncertainty of the
price range at the start might be seen from
the following: December started at 2090c
and sold down TO 2O.S0c while January.
after an initial sale at 20.S0c rose to 2090c
on the call. In September there were three
transactions at 19.45c. 1890 and then
19.25C After the call the market contin-
ued active and prices held Mt about the
early levels at the end Of the first 10
minutes
Weather conditions in the South We're
clear Temperatures were higher in nearly
all sections but frost reports were re-
ceived this morning from southern Ala

A private cable from Liverpool described
the English market as wildly excited, with
few sellers. The Continent purchased and
there was heavy trade buying for the pur-
pose of covering Manchester business.
