VILLA BECOMING
MILITARY FACTOR
Little Chance for National Guard to
Return as Long as Situation
is Critical.

Washington, October 25.-Conditfons
in Northern Mexico resulting from the
reappearance of Villa as military fac
tor. are commanding more attention
here than at any time since the Co.
Iumbus raid.
Administration officials were to-
night of the opinion that the Ameri-
csn-Mexican commission at Atlantic
City cannot be expected to arrive at
satisfactory solution of border prob
lens until the situation in Chihuahua
has been ella flied. furthermore there
appears small probability that the
regular or natloual guard forces now
on the border will be reduced soon.
Coupled VII rercrts which dis
pa-age the stability >: Gen. Carran-
za's regime and interpret his remov-
al from Mexico City to Queretaro as
a sign of the breaking up process
which his enemies have repeatedly
predicted, the military movements Of
Villa. now making formidable cam
paign in Chihuahua, are regarded
here as menacing the defacto's con-
troll of the whole northern country.
There are also apparently well
founded but indefinite reports of the
connection of the so-called legalista
movements with the whole train O.
events.
The Mexican embassy today declar-
! ed that Villas forces consist only of
few hundred men claiming Villa
as their leadc-' and branded reports
of instability Of Carranza's govern
ment as "iiood of misrepresentation
that might be expected from enemies
when the Mexican-American commits
sea kcSGl IS work.
AT the same time reports came to
the war department that Villas camp
fires we're in sight of Chihuahua City
and that Gen. Trevino, the Carranza
commander there, although plenti-
fully supplied with arms and receiv-
inc reinforcements, was short Of am
munition and considering evacuatinS
the capital. Department officials said
tonight they had not heard the re-
port reaching the border that Chi
+ huahua actually had fallen. 1t was
pointed out that Villa, once occupy
inc Chihuahua, could compel the sur
render of Juarez, as he did easily once
before, and at another stroke might
take Torreon, Montery and Saltilla,
when he would be a military factor
somewhat different from the bandit
for whose life an American military
expedition was dispatched.
The war department reports on Vii
las latest camp came from Brig
Gen. Bell, who transmitted stories oD-
tanned from refugees arriving in FL
Paso.

Three squads of first team material

against the Augustana midgets in

The game was arranged for by the

For this reason every half meant a
complete change of team on the high

remained the same. The midgets
