CAVALRY GO AFTER VILLA
Specially Selected Troopers Are To
Enter the Pursuit of the Fly
ing Bandit.

Columbus, n. Interpretations for
closing in on Francisco Villa in a quick
cavalry drive were Being pushed for
ward rapidly at the field headquarters
of Brig.-Gen. Pershing. according to
reports received here.
A body of picked c~avalrymen have
been concentrated and is in reserve
at the front somewhere south Of Nam
iuuipa. on the northeastern edge of the
Guerrero district. These men are pre-
pared to make a dash of indefinite
duration as soon as the bandit chief
tain is located.
1t is known that American military
leaders look to the cavalry for the &C
tual capture of Villa. With the estab-
lishment of the new American advance
base, 12O miles south of Casas Gran
des. and with developments apparent
ly imminent, 1t is believed that the
field headquarters may be moved
shortly to a point nearer the front SO
that Gen. Pershing may be in closer
communication with the troops in the
vanguard.
Army reports Indicated that quiet
continued to prevail along the Amer
lean line and that there has been nc
engagements in which American
troops had a part.

AGREEMENT ON
FLOOD CONTROL
EXPENDITURE OF FORTY-FlvE
MILLION FOR FIVE YEARS
is PROVIDED.
STATES TO AID IN WORK
Work Will BE Continued Under Juris
diction Of Mississippi River Com
mission-New Board Of Army
Engineers.

Washington.-F1ood control legisla-
ton received impetus both at the
White House and in Congress. Pres.-
dent Wilson and Chairman Humphreys
of the house flood committee agreed
on a program to be embodied in a bill
which the committee will report in
about ten days; while Representative
Rainey of illinois introduced in the
house the Newlands river regulation
hearing will be held on the measure
before the flood control committee.
The program agreed upon by the
president and Representative Hum
phreys would provide for an expendi-
ture of approximately $40, 900 900 over
a period of five years. 1t would in
clude the provision that the state ben
Gifted by the work must provide rights
of way for work and maintenance and
furnish a part of the cost of actual
construction. The states would spend
approximately 500, O0O, 900 while the
government was spending $45, 600, 900.
The work on the Mississippi river,
under the bill, would be continued un-
der the jurisdiction of the present Mis-
sissippi river commission. A new
army board of engineers with author
ity to make surveys Of projects in 9th
er parts of the country for flood con-
troll would be established.
The Newlands bill introduced in the
house differs from previous drafts in
that it would make $2,O00,O0O immedi
ately available for organization of the
work in regulating the flow in rivers
and in addition $40, 900 900 for the Mis-
sissippi river to meet the conditions
resulting from recent floods. 1t would
appropriate $50, 900, 900 a ear for ten
years for controlling rivers, beginning
July 1, 1917.
