FL PASO. Tex. March 20.-The
problem OF granting the United States
government permission to use Mexi-
can railways to transport supplies TO
American troops pursuing Francisco
villa overshadowed everything else in
the Mexican situation here today.
The reply Of General CarranZa TO
the request OF the government for
permission 10 use the railroads was
expected TO be sent 10 Washington TO-
day. A refusal will embarrass the
operations OF the troops while the
granting Of the request. it was de-
clared. would be bound to be seriously
misconstrued by u considerable sec
tIon of the Mexican people and TO be
exploited by the enemies OF General
CarranZa.
The Unexpectedly rapid advance of
the eXpeditlonary column has forced
the railroad question to an issue.
Americans familiar with the country
into which the columns are now enter
ing assert that it is imperative that
the railroads be placed at their dis
posal for the bringing up Of supplies.
Villa has doubled east and south

COLUMBUS, March 2U.-Increased
activity on the part of the troops
stationed here and the arrival dur
ing the night Of a number of troop
and supply trains indicated today that
additional forces shortly will be on
their way to augment the punitive
American expeditionary force now in
the field in northern Mexico.
In addition to the troops which de-
trained here, large part of which
were cavalry, many passed through,
bound apparently for some point
westward along the border. Soldiers
were kept busy throughout the day
preparing combat and hospital trains
and carrying equipment to the field
force.
One of the problems which the
commissary department at the MILF
tary base has been striving desperate
ly to solve is that Of supplies with
which to feed the troops. For sew
eral years the internal strife in Mexl-
co has practically stiled the agricul-
tural interests of that district in Mex
leo, through which the American
troops are believed to be passing. AS
a result neither food for the men nor
forage for the animals can be OBJ
tained in Mexico and must be trans
ported from here.
Major w. r. Sample. commandant
Mt the military field base here. has
kept in communication with General
Pershing's forces by means of the
army wireless, but clinging tenacious
ly to the censorship ruling he refused
10 make public any information re-
ceived. Instructions hive been issued
that not only information sent out by
newspaper correspondents must be
censored, but also that OF officers and
men in the army and citizens OF Co
lumbus must be passed on. All IN
coming telegraph messages are read
and approved by the censor before de-
livery.
Hurried preparations were made
today for a cantonment hospital. This
hospital is TO cooperate with the field
hospital and ambulance companies
now with the expeditionary force and
with the hospital at FL Paso.
The aeroplane squad was kept very
busy throughout the early part OF the
day, making practice flights about the
camp. There was no indication as TO
when the planes will leave to join
the troops in the field.

.AN IDEAL LIFE ENDED
One of the Founders Of the
Commonwealth Whose Peo-
pie Deeply Mourn Death.

The venerable John j. Davis. one Of
the mOat prominent iigurGs IN the
legal profession and in the political
history of West Virginia, and father Of
John W. Davis. solicitor general OF
the United States, passed away late
Sunday afternoon nj his homo on Ice
street in this city after m illness vi
several months. in his cightieth year.

the physicians Aa the cause OF Mr..
Davls's death. The end came with
practically every member OF his FAM
lily surrounding his bedside.
Mr.. Davis was Il son OF John and
lsli2u A. esteem Davis and was born
IN this city May q. 1886. lie waa Odu-
Gated nj the Northwestern Virginia
Academy, an academic school Of curly
times here. which turned out many
graduates who hCCnmc renowned. tIu
began the study Of law under judge
George II. Lee here Mt the age Of IA
years and also attended HrnCken-
brOugh'S law school nj Lexington. Va.
He was admitted tn practice nj the
age OF 20. Within few years. or IN
1861, his ability secured his election
10 the Virginia House of Delegates;
hut this was the period Of the Civil
war and northwest Virginia refused to
abide 10y the decision OF tho eastern
part Of the state and did mol join the
Confederacy.Z As Il result. Mr.. Davis
was a member OF the second WeBt
Virginia convention of 1861 which was
instrumental In organizing tho now
state.
In 1870, MF. Davis was chosen a
member OF tho West Virginia leglsla-
ture. His Democratic constituents 80
far approved his legislative caroor
that lie was elected TO the national
House Of Representatives for the
Forty-second Congress and again to
