While it was not announced, it is
probable that President Wilson Will
send message to congress within a
few days outlining his reasons for to-
days orders. He acled similarly in or
dering the fleet to Vera Cruz. Congress-
then Immediately passed a resolution of
approval
The American expedition will consist
chiefly of infantry with at least 1000
cavalry, a detachment of field artillery
and several batteries Of mountain guns
on pack mules The mountain guns
are especially adapted to the guerilla
fighting which is anticipated south Of
the Rio Grande.
A "flying column" Of 1000 men,
mostly cavalry, will constitute the ad-
vance force which is to do the active
work Of searching out Villa and making
tentative plans for the campaign
The Americans probably will concen-
trate at or near Columbus within "a
hours. From points east and west Of
Columbus the remainder of the expedi-
ton will be hurried toward Mexico un-
til they have gone southwark far
enough to turn toward each other,
thereby surrounding Villa if possible.
General Scott, chief of staff, is in ac-
tive charge at the war department.
Secretary Baker has decided to leave
matters to Scott being unfamiliar with
the crisis himself Scott was acting sec
retary of war after Garrison resigned.
Representations to Mexico thus far
have consisted only or advising Eliseo
Arrendondo, Mexican representative, Of
the situation, and expressing a hope
that Carranza will not object to the
pursuit Of Villa on Mexican soil
"Get Villa Dead or Alive"
When the cabinet met, several mem
bcrs were committed to the belief that
America 5 first action should be to
"get villa dead or alive" Meanwhile
tension increased. Senators Stone and
Fall poined in asking the senate to sus-
pend action until the troops had com
pleted their present operations, and un-
til further information Of the Colum-
bus outrage had been received.

intimated he might read an organized
demand for aggressive action.
Senator McCumber introduced a reso-
luton demanding that something be
done. It declared that, for two years,
murders Of Americans and acts of
fiendish brutality had been weekly oc-
currences, that the government had ex-
hausted every effort to keep from inter
vening, and that all efforts had been
worse than frutless The resolution
said the American attitude only en-
boldened the bandits ~ commit furth-
or atrocities McCumber's measure was
referred to the senate foreign commit
tee.
The senate met with the air Of man
whose finger is on the trigger but who
is not quite ready to fire. Senator
Gallnger was ready TO introduce flat
declaration of war on Mexico. Senator
FAN had ready resolution calling for
an invading force Of $4,000 men.
Nearly all mcmbcres had kilograms
hotly demanding summary action. Most
Of them were disposed 70 see what the
military branches Of the government
would do before risking a senate out

The official Renort.

Washington, Mar. 10.-Colonel Slo-
cum s official account of the fighting
around Columbus, N. NJ, as given out
by the war department today, follows:
"Whcn Villas troops fell back from
Columbus, we followed them with an
extended line At the same time I sent
Major Thompkins with three mounted
troops to attack Thompkins followed
the enemy about five miles into Mex
leo, having three bloody fights wit
them. Finally the enemy made a stand
with its entire force. That halted
ThOmpkins' advance.
owe had a corporal killed in the pur-
suit. The Mexicans as they fled drop
ped considerable material and loot they
had stolen in the town.
"I am reliably informed it was Villa
himself who attacked with fifteen hum
dred men, leaving about 1000 on the
river east Of Boca Grande.
"From his spies in Columbus, Villa
was informed that there were but four
troops here with three machine gun
crews. He intended to capture the town,
loot the bank and kill all Americans.
"Our casualties we're five wounded
and seven killed. Lieutenant Benson
was shot in the arm, and CAPTAIN Will
liams, adjutant, slightly wounded in the
hand.
"Eight civilians were killed in town.
including a woman. We have burned
the bodies Of 81 Mexican soldiers. Most
of them were killed in town, some near
the bank Many other dead Mexicans
lie on Villas line Of retreat about a
mile west of here. They have not yet
been collected.
"Mexican troops under Villas per-
sonal command, by his orders, made a
charge through our camp. Our troops
turned out quickly and drove back the
Mexicans, killing II in or about camp
and about 10 or l2 in town"

Columbus, n. NJ, Mar. 1O.-Villista
raids over the border into American
territory continued today.
The state of New Mexico was in
vadei at several points. Between Co
lumbus and Hachta bandits this morn
ing and last night dashed across the
line looted ranch houses, drove away
cattle, horses and wagons, wrecked
farm machinery and destroyed build
ings.
Telephone adyices said there were no
additional murders. Colonel Slocum s
report announced all raiders were clear
ed from American soil before noon.
Patrols sent word of large bands en-
camped close to the boundary at many
places. just before daylight several
mounted bandits, carrying loot, were
seen crossing back to the Mexican side.
Villistas now estimated to number
1000 are believed lurking within
few miles of the border. Wherever
they are visible, patrols watch their
movements closely.
Soldiers from Fort Bliss have reach
ed Victoria where they found the in
nabtants had been in terror all night,
fearing an attack. The first battalion,
twentieth infantry, detrained at 7:l5
4. m. today and pitched camp on the
edge town. Villistas were reported
on American soil early today within a
mile of Victoria, which is four miles
north of the border, but they did not
attempt an attack.
The first battalion, eleventh infantry
arrived at Hachitl at a. m. Troop A
of the Seventh cavalry was immediate
ly sent southwark to watch movements
of a large band of outlaws reported
near the border.
Like Old Indian Days.
Wierd signals were flashed along the
border during the night They were
presumably sent by Villistas. Here and
there on the vast plains and on the
slopes Of the desert hills lights fared,
fires blazed briskly for a moment and
then died. Ranchers watched the sig
mails in fear, then gathered their fam
lies in the strongest houses md mar
shalled the men together with rifles
ready prepared to repe expected at
tacks.
These tense scenes recalled stories of
frontier days when hostile Indians
threatened settlers. Mexicans were
seen in every shadow and false alarms
were numerous Occasionally a child
cried with fright, but for the most part
they kept silent, and the bravery Of
the women was widely commented on
when daylight returned
South Of the border, where the Amer.
leans must fight Villa if they invade,
the country is desert like and barren.
Water is scarce, roads are few and in
bad repair The district is practically
empty. Toward the Sierra Madres, to
which Villa may eventually retire, the
landscape grows rougher. II is over
grown with cactus and desert vegeta-
ton, AMI the mountains are grim and
forbidding.

the official communique said; "The
German claim that Germans captured
the fortress and village of Vaux is an
insult to the injustice of ,neutrals. The
same thing may be said with regard to
the report spread by Germans that the

RURAL CREDITS WILL
BE SUBMITTED ALONE
CONFERENCE IS OVER

The Irrigation, Drainage and Rural
Credits conference adjourned shortly
after noon today after passing a reso-
luton to place three avOwed anti-irriga-
tionists on the committee to draft the
proposed constitutional amendment
along with two irrigationists and one
drainage man. This means that the
rural credits amendment to the state
constitution will come to the voters as
an amendment separate and apart from
the proposed amendment to vote bonds
for irrigation purposes, also it sounds
the death knell to the irrigation meas.
ure as this is a sectional controversy
and is favored by only the residents
of the dry land sections of eastern
Oregon while the rural credits measure
is finding favor throughout the state.
The dove of peace fluttered about the
capitol dome few times only to be
frightened away by the noise Of unre.
strained oratory and its present address
is unknown.
The conference today was sharply di-
vided on the question of separate
amendments for a rural credit amend
ment and another for irrigation and
drainage The eastern Oregon irriga-
tionists lead one faction which favored
placing both amendments on the ballot
as one measure and the farmers, labor
ers and western Oregon delegations
were united in opposition to this
scheme and favored a rural credits
amendment as separate measure.
Chairman Mills was called away on
business and l.. Z. Bean, of Eugene
served as chairman for the remainder
of the session.

amendments.

Blease is Done For.

savannah Press.
Cole Blease came nearer the gov
ernorship of South Carolina yesterday
than he ever will be again. He got
plurality of the votes in the State-wids
primary with five candidates Offering
for the place, but he could not get
majority. This means that he and
Gov. Manning will run a second race.
within two weeks time. 1t also means
that Blease will be defeated. A, mar
jority Of the voters of South Carolina
are against Blease. He has seen the
meridian of his power i'm South Caro-,
lima politics. His utterances when
governor of the State, his extrayaeant
use Of the pardoning power in letting
convicts out Of the penitentiary and
other things connected with his ad,
ministration did not commend them
selves to the conservative voters of
our neighboring State.
Blease's \recOrd as governor kept
him out of the United States senate
and it is going to keep him out of the
governors chair at this time. Gov.
Richard /. Manning will be returned
to his seat for another term. That
is the way it looks to us. Blease has
tested his strength to the limit. The
votes that went to the other candi-
dates will now go almost solidly to
Manning, with but two men running.
