CROSS BOUNDARY
Force Against Villa Bandits Now ON
Mexican Soil Camping in Desert Ten Miles
South of BOrder-Carranzista Soldiers Offer
No Resistance to United States TrOops-Cen-
sorship Covers Up Details of Movements.

Ell Paso March 16-The American
expeditionary force which has started
to capture Francisco Villa "a.ltVe or
dead" had penetrated about 10 miles
into Mexico, according to the most
reliable reports received here today.
The military censorship permitted vir-
tua1Iy nothing but rumors to escape,
but it was fairly well established that
the advance corps of the American
expedition had camped last night in
the heart of the desert which lies be-
tween the point of entry and the
foothills of the Sierra Madres, the
vast range of mountains in the fast
nesses of which Villa is believed to
have taken refuge
But the interest of the border in
the American advance was practically
oversh dowed by the question as to
how the presence of the soldiers on
Mexican soil would be taken by Car
rama
Carranza Gales, the military gov
ernor of Sonora, was 1.-The man of the
hour His troops, variously estf-
mated at from 200 to 10000 men,
garrisoned the frontier towns and the
immediate interior of the section into
which the American soldiers had en-
tered. For days reports and rumors
that Gales troops were diSanected
and bitterly resented the pursuit of
Villa, by American soldiers have flood
ed this region. The definite announce
ment that the stars and stripes had
been carried over the international
line by armed forces increased these
rurnor and reports to a deluge out of
which it ~as almost impossible to pick
whatever grains of truth might ex-
list.
There seemed no question that a
considerable portion of the Next
can soldiers and civilians in the north
of the republic were bitterly hostile
to the action of the United States. The
civilian and military auth critics of the
Carranza government showed every
disposition to prevent trouble but it
remained prob1ematica1 whether they
can control the masses of the popula-
ton in the northern district who are
becoming very restless. due to the Sc
du1ous propaganda against Americans
which is being carried on among them
from unknown sources.
Cananea and Ojinaga are the storm
centers.l It was reported today from
Douglas that 500 picked men had
