can troops at Fort Bliss and Colum-
bus were sufficient protection against
! the implied threat. There has been
no sign Of friction between the de-

and the expeditionary forces.
It was reported, but confirm alton
from Quererato was lacking, that in
return for President Wilson's aid to

and provisions by railroad to the ex-
petitions Mexican base.

branches who have crossed the bor-

Villa, was today believed to be up
wards of 1000.
At $3.50 a. M. today, Gavira said he
had not been advised of the result
of the battle at Namiquipa. Suspense
was noticeable in local military and
civil circles. The belief was q owing
that the engagement would not prove
decisive.
The dispatcher of the Mexican
Northwestern railroad near which the
fighting was reported to be taking
place, said no word had been received
since last night. It was not known
whether the wires were cut or the
Carranza forces were Withholding in
formation.
Gavira was asked If Villa had been
killed or captured and to both an

Carranza Consul Garcia Of Ell Paso
visited Gavira's Juarez headquarters
to learn the outcome Of the battle.
Garcia said communication with
Namiquipa was cut off. He did not
know where the trouble was, but said
it was effectually preventing the ar
rival of news from the battlefield.
In Hot Water.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March 21.-
''The next few hours may tell the
story"
This was General Funston's curt
comment today on dispatches relat-
ing to Villas clash at Crucez with
Carranza troops coming north from
chihuahua, the bandits defeat and
subsequent flight north directly to-
ward three south bound American cav
airy columns. With these detach-
ments of U. S. soldiers headed for
any effort on Villas part to escape to
tile north seems effectually spiked.
A hard night ride brought the
American soldiers close to their quar-
ry today. While army headquarters
has no definite word that the COM
mander Of the Carranza column is for
mally cooperating with the American
general, Pershing, through his own
scouts, evidently is being kept ad-
vised Of the formers movements.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-A hint
Of the vociferous welcome With which
American troops were greeted by the
Mormon colonists near Casas Grandes
as they galloped into the town with
colors flying, was given in brief dis
patch to the war department today
from General Funston. The message
also carried the first official intima-
tion OF how far American troops had
penetrated the Mexican waste and
tended to contradict reports from FL
Paso and other border towns to the
effect that there is disafrectlon among
Carranza soldiers and tnat natives are
on the verge Of an uprising against
the United States soldiers.
The message reads In part: I'VE
have found the natives friendly every
where The CarranZa forces also are
showing every indication Of friend
liness. The Mormons greeted our
troops as rescuers.'
Secretary Baker, who read the
above portion Of the dispatch, ex-
planned he could not give out the full

Two Base Ball Games,

Two mighty good games of base ball
are promised the Bay people when St.
Ssanislaus Collega crosses bats With
Chenet College on Sunday and New
Orleans Boys High School on Wednes-
day, May 10. Both of these teams have
been playing mighty good ball all dur
ing the season and it can be predicted
that the contests will be of the hardest.
Chenets have an unusually strong team
this year and if st. Stanislaus can
manage to defeat them Sunday, it will
give our boys more confidence to go up
against the Boys High School Team,
which is reputed to be one of the
strongest that has ever represented the
New Orleans institution.
tits sincerely hoped that large crowd
Of rooters will turn out to help the boys,
1t is also hoped that the unsportman-
like knocking that few of the specta-
tors have INDUCED in the past will not
be repeated and that all will put their
shoulder to the wheel and help the Bay
to keep up the good work that we are
striving so hard for. A word of en-
couragement now and then means a
whole lot to the boys who are doing
their best and knowing that the citizens
here as whole are loyal and enthusias-
tic it is hoped that there will not be a
reoccurrence of the above mentioned
unpleasant incident.

fought hard and pressed our boys to the
limit.
The biggest crowd that the Bay has

SUPERVISORS PLEDGE
TO HELP DEFRAY COST
OF LOCAL SEAWA[LS.
And Towards This End at
Regular Meeting Held This
Week Appointed an Aux
iliary Committee of FIVE
on Ways and Means, to Re-
port at Next Meeting.

The Board of Supervisors in regular
session this week went on record, by
vote, as willing to financially aid the
| municipalities of Waveland and Bay
ST. Louis in the matter of building sea-
! walls, as proposed by the Board of Bond
Commissioners of the city of Bay St.
Louis and the boards of Seawall Com
missioners of the town of Waveland.
AT the supervisors meeting, both
Monday and Tuesday, there appeared
one large committee, representing the
city of Bay St. Louis, the City Bond
Commissioners and Sea Wall Commits
sions of Districts / and of Waveland.
Judge Will T. Mcdonald and Hon. Robt.
Genin acted as spckesmen and present.
ed to the supervisors the object of the
committees appearance, namely, to
ask financial assistance of the county
in defraying the cost of building sea-
walls along the beach of the "sister
cities" of Hancock, authority for such
action bei.g granted to the county by
recent act of the Legislature.
The proposition was favorably re-
ceived by the Board of Supervisors with
marked unanmity, and President Fl. S,
Weston appointed the following named
committee, E. H. Hoffman,, chairman;
Will T. Mcdonald, Jos. F. Cazeneuve,
Jos. o. Mauffray, Robt. l.. Genin. The
object and duties of the committee is to
assist the Board to inquire into the ac-
tual and present status of the county's
finances, the amount OF bonds possible to
issue within the limit of the present as
sessment and amount of outstanding
bonds, with view of the county ap-
prorriating from $4,000 to $4,000 as
an assistance to seawall building, also
for the building (one-half) of bridge
across Pearl river to connect Hancock
county with a road now being built
from Chef Menteur. The committee,
which is to report at the June meeting,
is TO include IN their recommendation
a method Of financing, improving and
hard surfacing the road between Bay
St, Louis and the proposed bridge over
Pearl river. This committee of ways
and means will be ready on the first
Monday in June, and their report we
feel confident will be valuable and
Interesting one.
From the sentiment that prevailed at
the meeting, and as enthusiastically ex-
pressed by President H. S. Weston and
also as voiced by the other members of
the Board, there is no doubt but that
Hancock county will assist in the con-
struction of the seawalls and build the
road connecting Bay St. Louis with the
road now being built from New Orleans
and that the entire improvement will be
competed within the next six month or
as soon as the Louisiana end of the
bridge is built.
