HOPE CARRANZA
WILL CAPTURE VILLA
President Wilson Hopes
MexicanS Will Beat Ameri-
cans in Bandit Hunt
Is PLEASED WITH
CHIEFS COOPERATION
BY ROBERT J. BENDER.

United Press stan Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March l6.-Presi-
dent Wilson hopes General Carranza will
beat him in the race for Villa. No ef-
fort is made in administration circles
TODAY to conceal the satisfaction 1t
would give the President 10 have Car
rama demonstrate his strength by bag
ring the elusive bandit before the
American troops get within striking dis
tancc.
During the last few weeks reports
have reached the White House I'M ever
increasing numbers that Carranza was
losing his hold and would be unable to
restore order in Mexico. The last raid
of Villa on Columbus nearly broke the
administrations confidence in the first
chief. II completely shattered the CON
fdence of nearly everyone else.
When the President sought Car
ranza's cooperation in running down
Villa, he was told Carranza would be
unable to hold his forces together and
that there would be a great uprising
against the American expedition.
While there have been isolated re-
ports OF revolts against the First
Chief and rallies to the cause OF
villa. today's reports are that the
American troops have entered Mexico
with the consent OF Carranza and
with the cooperation of at least a
portion OF his soldiers. This fact is
source OF much qualification to the
President.
Continued cooperation Of Carranza
will do much to convince the Ameri-
can people that he controls the Mexi-
can situation. the President believes.
The big danger is from the poems, who
can't be reached through the ordinary
channels and who will not sec the Off
cial statements that the expedition is
not an invasion" II Carranza proves
able to keep the poems i'm line, he will
have won a great victory for his
cause, administration officials say
Carranza has been given a weeks
start i'm the chase for villa. Whether
this was done purposely by the gov
ernment to give him a chance TO &C
complish what the President hopes
for, namely the capture of Villa be
! fore the Americans can get him. could
not be ascertained A high govern
ment official, however. said today:
with the week to start on, Carran
"a ought to land Villa before we get
near him. That's what we hope for
anyhow"
The President today expected tC
sign the join resolution passed Jy The
House and Senate, bringing the army
up to full war strength. The ordei
is already effective. however, and re
ports which reached the White HOUSE
early today were that recruiting Il

Why Suffer
From Migraine or
Sick Headache?

Dr.J.J Caldwell says that this exceedingly
distressing disease does not shorten life,
but does not appear 20 be durable. suffer
ers from this afiiotion are condemned 20
undergo the periodical attacks every few
weeks until they are forty years OF nge, after
which the attacts are less frequent, and
nnally disappear entirely. Palliative meas
ures during the attack are all that II IS
the best preventive measure. An attack
may often be prevented by taking two
anti-kamnia tablets when the first symp-
toms appear. and one anti-kamnia tablet
every two hours during the attack shOrtens
it. eases the pain and brings rest and quiet.
Anti-kamnia tablets may be obtained at
all druggists. Ask for AK Tablets. They
quickly relieve all Pain.

Infantile Paralysis.

The Country is warned by spe-
cial committee of scientists and
medical authorities, which has been
studying the situation for several
weeks, that there is grave danger
of infantile paralysis becoming a
national epidemic. This commit
tee, in common with all the medi-
cal world, admits that thus far
science is baffled in its attempts to
ascertain the cause of infantile
paralysis, the medium of its trans
mission, or the methods of its pre-
vention and cure. In its statement
the committee says:
o." Frankly, we don't know how
the disease is transmitted, nor its
cause The evidence strongly
points to humans as the carriers.
The evidence is that it is purely a
human disease and if contagious,
large proportion of persons ex-
posed are immune 1t must be
spread very largely from sources
other than sick persons, mostly by
adults. Against that is the known
seasonal prevalence. Our theories
do not exclude transmission 10y in-
sects. Transmission by the lower
animals is hypothetical We hard
ly suspect Sny but dogs or cats.
Its rapid spread indicates human
carriers.
The only thing of which the
committee is positive is the neces-
sitv of individuals, families and
communities rigidly observing the
laws of hygiene and sanitation and
insisting upon pure food, pure wa
ter and pure milk. - New Orleans
