FUNSTON SAYS LINE
HAS REACHED LIMIT

San Antonio. Tex. April H.
General Funston said to-day that
the main line OF communication.
now as far south as Satevo, could
not be extended with the present
number of troops now available. and
expressed the conviction that fur
Their operations could not be con-
Quoted unless authority was secured
for the establishment Of a new bor-
der base, free use Of railroads or
material strengthening of the forces
in Mexico. lie said that in stretch
ing the lire 10 Satevo the maximum
of its elasticity had been attained.
Detached columns Of cavalry are
operating south Of Sateyo. but only
so far as rations for man and horse
can be carried. The three detach-
ments that met at Santa Cruz, eight
miles from Parral. have left there
and have probably fallen back on the
line at Sateyo. General Funston ex-
planned that the country In that dis
trict was barren Of foodstufs and
that unless the columns had gone
back 10 Parral their return TO Satevo
must have been necessary. He as
sumed they had not returned to
Psrral.

day. On the testimony Of persons who
saw the corpse and who knew Villa
will rest the burden Of proof. Il was

First to be determined will be whether
Villa really had been wounded. An

after the Columbus raid. Villa then
was near Casas Grandos, he says. and
had badly swollen left leg, which was
giving him much trouble. Villa. the
American says. gave him a pass through
his lines. lie thinks Villa must have
been wounded during the Columbus
raid. or very shortly thereafter.
IL has not been determined whether
Americans who knew villa will have

Waite declared he always felt he

story. he lived his life, played tennis
with the daughters OF millionalres,
studied with his studio companion and
