Douglas, Ariz., Mar. 20-Following
unconfirmed reports reaching Aqua
Prieta that Francisco Villa was headed
toward Sonora, Consul Ives lie Levier,
speaking for De Facto Governor Gales,
declared Villa would meet with warm
welcome.
"There are $4,000 de facto troops
waiting 'Pancho' Villa in Sonora, -
he said "Villl met his Waterloo in
Sonora, it will be remembered, losing
a big army, all his artillery and was
forced to become bandit"
Two thousand Mayo Indians, under
Colonel Fierro are preparing to leave
Aqua Prieta for the Sonora-Chihuahua
mountain passes through which the Viii
listas would have to pass to reach Som
ora state. The Indians will travel
light and are equipped to make great
speed over the rough mountainous coun-
try.
Apparently trusting the Cauanzistaz
to guard the nora-Chihuahua line, the
United States troops here made no
move as a result of Auga Prieta infOr-
nation.
In an interview granted the United
Press today, General Elias p. Gales,
military governor of Sonora, declared
That his orders are to cooperate with
American troopsein case an invasion In
to Sonora is made necessary.

Says Mexico Is at Peace.

Gales officially dscredited all re-
ports Of mutiny and nsubordination on
the part Of the soldiers under his COM
mInd.
When asked if the capture Of Villa
and his band would result in "peace in
Mexico" " General Gales, somewhat SUR
prised, replied through his interpreter
that there is already peace in Mexico
and has been since the recognition OF
Clrranza.
Villa, he said is an outlaw thief,
and so are his followers. If it is tne
impression in some parts OF the United
Sttaes that Villa is patriot and the
friend Of the poorer classes in Mexico,
then the Americans are misinformed.
Villa is bandit and is being treated
as such.
Gales headquarters are located in a
building formerly occupied by gener-
al store, and to all outward appearances
the structure is trade center, but the
interior Of the place has been trans
formed into complete military quarters.

Ell Paso, Texas, Mar. Reported
hemmed in among the canyons of the
Guerrero mountains, Francisco Villa
was believed to be surrounded today by
several CarranZista columns and the
American expedition closing down on
him from the north. There are many
square miles of mountain and desert in
side the net, however, and his escape is
considered likely.
AerOplanes may be used to spy out
Villas hiding place. Soaring over the
peaks, they could pick him out below
and signal his location to General j. j.
Pershing S scouts.
Villa is reported to have left Il de.
tachment at the Hernandez ranch to
hold off the American cavalry until he
has a chance to hide in the Sierra Ma
dreS. Fighting between Americans and
this Villista rear guard is expected
daily. Americans, matching corn fed
horses against tireless ponies, have
made forced marches in an effort to
overhaul Villa and make him fight. In
that move lay the first hope of cap
ture.

CULTURE OF HARDY ANIMALS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Seeds Of hardy ANNALS should be
sown early. In shallow boxes or pots
and placed In q warm window. or q
hotbed. A second sowing ought to be
made from two to four weeks after
for . succession. as well as to pro.
vide against failure the first time.
The most convenient receptacle for
seed Is Z shallow box from two to
three inches deep and of any con.
venient size.
The best soil for all Of the smaller
kinds is very fine. rich, sandy loan.
The very best soil is that taken from
old hotbeds, or from old pasture land,
piled up In sods and allowed to rot
for two or three years and then mixed
with sand and little old stable ma,
nure.
Give the tiny plants plenty Of air
and moisture, yet not too much water
or they will damp off," Get pots two
inches or more in diameter and plant
the young seedlings along the edges
of the pots. SO that as soon as the
ground is warm enough they can be
easily turned out and planted singly,
as by that time they will have good
roots.
Do not cover seeds too deeply. This
is a common and disastrous mistake
