Washington, March 1S.-American
troops pursuing Villa and his bandits
have no intention and no orders to oc-
cupy any cities or towns during their
march into Mexico.
This was stated at the White House
and war department today after the
receipt of a report that General Ca
vira, the Carranza commander at
Juarez, had given notice that General
Pershing's troops would not be allow
ed to occupy Casas Grandes, or other
towns.
It was declared by administration
officials that the pursuit of Villa, be-
ing entirely a punitive expedition
had none of the characteristics of an
invasion and that thee was no object
in occupying towns or cities because
the American troops will keep con-
stantly on the move.
Officials said today that the situa-
ton at Tampico, where uneasiness is
said to exist among Americans and
other foreigners, had no bearing on
the purpsit of Villa.
Reports received at both the wal
and state departments today con-
tinued to be optimistic.
