GENERAL FUNSTON ORDERED TO
TAKE VILLA DEAD OR ALIVE
S. c. YOUTH FIRST TO FALL.
Fred 4. Griffin Was Native SOutl,
CarOlinian.

Easley, March 11.-Fred A. Crit
i'm, the first American killed in the
raid by Villas bandit force on Co.
lumbus, \. NJ, was a native of Pick
ems county. He was % years old
and had been in the army for about
five years. He came of one Of the
best known families of this county.
He was private in Troop X, Thir-
teenth United States cavalry, sta
toned at Columbus.
Mr. Griffin was son of Ambrose
Griffin, we'll known farmer of Pick
ems county, living near the county
seat. Young Grifin's grandfather
Capt. Griffin, is one of the county S
best known citizens. Fred Griffin
had been in the army for about five
years. He has many relatives in
Pickens, the family being we'll
known throughout the county.
Fred Griffin was one of the first
Americans to feel the fire of the in
vading Mexicans. He was on sentry
duty when Villas bandits launched
their charge and he at once gave the
alarm by firing into the body of Mex
leans. His rifle spoke death for at
least two Mexicans before he was
mortally wounded.

MAJ GENERAL FUNSTON CAPTURER OF ACUINALDO,
COMMANDS EXPEDITION TO INVADE.
TROOPS TO GO INTO MEXICO
EXPEDITION WILL MOVE SOON.
Funston Issues Statement to Calm
Impatience of Americans.

San Antonio, Texas, March 12.-
I'VE do not ourselves know just
when the expedition that will search
for Francisco Villa will start into
Mexico, although, Of course, it will
be soon.
1T will go forward just as soon as
sufficient number of men with an
adequate commissary can be organ
lied. 1t will not be held back, how
ever, until all the troops now ordered
to the border have arrived"
This was the statement today of
Major Gen. Frederick Funston while
he was outlining at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Southern department headquar-
ters, as closely as military eXpedi-
ency would permit, the campaign
that will be directed against Villa.
He added:
There is no use going at this
thing half-cocked. The task ahead
of us will be a long and arduous
one"
It became known today that the
border situation elsewhere than at
Columbus, n. NJ, has hindered the
rapid concentration Of the punitive
expedition
Great excitement has been noted,
it is authoritatively stated, in the
Carranza garrisons at Nogales, op-
posite the Arizona border town of
that name, and at Piedras Negras,
which fronts Eagle Pass, Texas.
This uneasiness has has extended to
the large Mexican population on the
American side.
Troops now stationed in the bor-
der towns are sufficient to cope with
any situation which might arise,
Gen. Funston said. However, as 1t
is his intention to use these troops
in the search for Villa, and as they
cannot be moved until other detach-
ments arrive to succeed them in the
border patrol, complete organization
of the military expedition has been
held up.
Army circles feel bound to respect
the fear of residents in American
border towns that, Notwithstanding
assurance from Gen. Carranza's rep
resentatives, uprisings may follow
the actual invasion of Mexico by
American soldiers. 1t is felt that
the welfare of the border cannot be
sacrificed to the doubtful success OF
a hasty and therefore unprepared
pursuit of the fugitive Villa.

CARRANzA WILL NOT CONSENT
For Troops to Cross Border Unless
Given Same Right.

Mexico City, March 12.-Gen. Car
rama tonight issued manifesto to
the nation declaring that, under nc
circumstances, would the Mexican
government grant the right to the
United States to violate Mexican ter
ritory by sending in an armed force
in pursuit of Villa without consent
and the reciprocal privilege being
first obtained and admitted. Word
was sent to the confidential agent OF
the Mexican government in Washing
ton to make Immediately representa-
tions to this effect.
Gen. Carranza says in his mani
festo:
81 am sure that 1 interpret in this
matter the national sentiment, and
that the Mexican people will comply
in a dignifed manner with their du-
ty, be the sacrifices what they may,
TO sustain their rights and sovereign
ty if, unfortunately, these drag us in
to a war-a war which the United
States can never justify, We will not
be responsible for the disastrous
consequences. Upon the heads OF
the traitorous Mexicans who, within
and without this country, have labor
ed to produce this result, will fall the
inexorable justice of the people.

the Northern Mexico with military
drag net to catch the bandits. Such
a plan, it was said, while certain to
end the disturbed conditions along
the border, would involve the use of
troops by the tens of thousands in
stead of regiments. Figures as to
the force the committee thought
necessary for operations of this char
acter were not revealed. Immediate
ly after they were submitted to Sec
cretary Baker, however, the latter
arranged his conference with PTesi-
dent Wilson and laid the whole situa-
ton before the commander-in-chi
