I'll PASO, March 27.-With the
u conviction that the chase of
Pancho villa was going to prove II
lcng and tedious one attention here
was turned once more tonight on the
need of railroad transportation. Dis
patches from Washington and San
Antonio showing that the United
States military authorities were be-
coming increasingly impatient for the
completion of arrangements with
General Corranza for the use of the
Mexican railroad. confirmed the be-
liet here for the last week that the
railroad problem was the present
cruX of the situation.
Army Officers here privately ad-
NIT that the question of getting ade-
quate supplies To the forces at the
front is growing serious. They say
that the present system of motor
transportation across the Chihuahua
desert has proved entirely Inadequate
ana as General pcrshing's columns
push further into the desolation of
western Chihuahua the problem of
getting supplies is growing acute. The
advance corps of the oXpeditionary
force is now well over %" miles from
the frontier and every day presum-
ably adds many miles to the thin line
OF communications. rhe sanlstorms
which sweep the Chihuahua wastes
are similar To the storms which have
again and again wiped out caravans
in the Sahara desert. Mormon colon
lists and American ranchmcn agree
that nothing but railroad can cope
with the nature ia this dreary region.
