Columbus, N. M, March 10.-Papers dropped by Francisco Villa in his flight after his attack on Columbus yesterday revealed, it became known today that he had decided last October to wage warfare against Americans.
 This step, according to Villas personal documents, was taken immediately after recognition by the United States of the Carranza government. and began with the institution of Villas campaign in Sonora, which ended disastrously at Agua Prieta November 20
 Among the papers found was what pur- ported to be an agreement between Villa and Mexican residents of Colonia Morelos, near Fl Tigre, Sonora, pledging mutual support in an effort to oust Mormons and other Americans confiscate their prop erty and operate their mines and farms.
 The citizens, according to the alleged agreement, promised to take arms with Villa to gain this end. Villa was to fur nish the Mexicans of the district with live stock to be delivered by April. 1916 "after he had overcome Carranza and established himself as supreme chief in Mexico"
 Another of the papers acknowledged re- ceipt of s25,00O in gold from the Consoli- dated Cananea Copper company at Naco Sonora, shortly after Villas retreat from money to export duties on copper ores from Cananea, but notation showed thai the money really was paid for the lives

Washington, March 10.-The admin formation from an apparently reliable source that another bandit attack somewhere along the border may be made tonight. General Funston has in- formed the war department that he is prepared to repel- any attacks
 Washington, March 1o.-Gen. Freder- ick Funston, commanding the troops on the border, telegraphed the war department late today that 1t was be- lieved Villas command totaled 5000 troops; that Carranza forces in his vi- cinity had fled, and that he advised against 'frittering away the whole command guarding small towns" while Villa might have an opportunity to escape. He counseled secrecy in the that there might be chance of sur prising the bandit chief and offered to take personal command of the in vading forces.
 The text of the dispatch from Gen eral Funston follows:
 Tt is opinion of Colonels Dodd and Slocum, in which I concur, that un- less Villa Is relentlessly pursued and his forces scattered, he will continue raids. As troops of Mexican govern ment are accomplishing nothing, he can consequently make his preparations and concentrations without being dis

THREE REGIMENTS
 OF TRAINED TROOPS
 AVAILABLE IN STATE
National Guard Officers Think Alabama Would Be Called on First in the
 Event of War

Montgomery, March 1O.-( (special.l l-In with Mexico, Alabama will be in posi- tion to offer the services of about 30e0 trained troops. Composing the National Guard of the state at this timesare three regiments of infantry, one battalion of artillery medical and hospital corps, and signal service corps The commanders of three regiments are: First regiment, Col F. NJ. Maddox of Mobile; Second, Col w. F. Weiss of Montgomery; and Fourth, Col. D. H. Graves of Eufaula- Maj. L. S. Dorrance of Birmingham is commander of the artillery battalion. Gen. Charles R. Bricken of Luverne, for mer colonel Of the Second regiment, is brigadier general of the state troops, having been appointed to the office re- gently by Governor Henderson.
 In military circles here the opinion is general that the United States will be compelled to intervene in Mexico. In that event it will be more than probable that the Alabama National Guard will be among the first state troops to be called into service. This would be due large ly to the fact that Alabama is not so distant from the Mexican border and that it would not take many days to transport troops to that territory.
 From expressions of officers of the guard practically every member of that organization would volunteer his serv- ices to the country should the call be issued for soldiers. It will be remem- bered that the Fourth regiment volun- teered it's services several years ago when armed intervention was thought to be imminent and the other state mili- tary organs also were willing to vol unteer at that time
 Gen. G. H. Hubbard, adjutant general, said this afternoon he had received no word from Washington in regard to the situation in Mexico, and declined to comment on the matter other than to state that Alabama would be as loyal as any other state in the union in re- spending to the country's call should war be declared. Officers of the Ma tional Guard here are awaiting devel- opments with the keenest interest and none of them would be surprised should the country call them into active serv- ice.

Villa Planned Raid On
 Americans Carefully

 Fl Paso, Tex, March 10-Seventy wom- rived here today. The party included Mrs. Maud Wright of Alabama, who after nine days as prisoner with Villa army escaped during the Columbus raid, and Mrs. Ritchie, who accompanied her here for interment of the body of her hus- band, w. T. Ritchie the hotel proprietor murdered by the Mexicans.
 Mrs. Ritchie was suffering from pain full bruise of the left hand inflicted by a bandit in wrestling from her fingers four rings, two of them diamonds. Later she received from the hospital, where the wounded Mexicans were carried the fol- lowing message in English: T sorry l take the rings"
 The writer was the man who had robbed band
 ''We were awakened by fusillade, said Mrs. Ritchie, land shortly afterward the bandits broke into our room and de manded money. MT. Ritchie was sick In bed. He told me to hand over what money had. He gave them $50, while all could muster was s7 This was not enough, so they attacked me and robbed mo of my rings. My husband was at. tackled at the same time and hauled out of the room. My daughter Edna found him dead at the foot of the stairs.'

Expedition Solely
 to Suppress Outlaws

The effect of their advance prob- ably would be to keep the Villa ban dits near the border, but Secretary Lansing announced during the day that no matter how far into Mexico it was necessary for the American forces to penetrate, or to what numbers 1t be- came necessary to increase their force, the United States would consider the expedition a punitive one solely for the suppression of outlaws. For such an expedition there Is ample precedent in international law and, in fact. in the relations of the United States with Mexico.
 How many of the 12,000 troops now on the border will be employed has not fully been determined The general plan will be to distribute the infantry to guarc tne border towns, while the cavalry will De released for scouting the mountains, des- erts, sage brush and arroyos.

 United States hopes and expects co-opera- tion. passive at least, if not active.
 In sharp contrast to the stirring scenes in Congress two years ago when Pres1- dent Wilson ordered the fleet to Vera Cruz, the Presidents action today was received with marked complacency in both House and Senate. Members had pre-
 pared to make speeches urging action,
 but when word went around that the President had ordered in the troops ex- i pressions of approval were heard on both sides of the chambers.
 Senators Fall and McCumber, repub- licans, both introduced resolutions pro- posing occupation and policing of Mex ! ico with large forces, but they consented to permit them to be referred to the for eign relations committee without debate The pleas of the administration leaders l to let the President deal with the situa- 1 tion in it's present phase seemed to be ac- l ceptable all around.

MEXICAN IS KILLED

A squad of cavalry sent out today to investigate a report that Villa soldiers had crossed the border and surrounded a patrol of the Seventh cavalry, returned tonight with report that no Mexicans had been seen this side of the border. At 8 o'clock report was received at head quarters of the Thirteenth cavalry that firing heard a few minutes earlier east of the town was the result of the failure of a Mexican to halt on order of pa troll The Mexican was killed. few minutes later the lights again were tucned on in the cavalry camp and the town.
 number of Mexicans rourded up by military patrols were examined today and tonight because of the suspicion that they had furnished information to Villa. A few were held on charges of espionage.
 One of the Mexieans, who gave the name of Pablo Gonzales, wore overalls over a Mexican military uniform. He insisted, however, that he was peaceful rancher, but was held in the military guard house with a number of other sus- poets. Several of those liberated were escorted to the border and told to cross, with the injunction not to come back. It is understood that American military authorities are listing all suspected Mex leans and are prepared to order a general roundup.
 The body of w. T. Ritchie proprietor of the Commercial hotel, where at least two persons were burned to death by the Villa raiders, was sent to Fl Paso today None of the bodies of the seven American soldiers killed has been sent away.

 sure.. And while it may make many suffer, it also gives employment to many others and in that way relieves much dls- tress. On many of the uptown cross-town streets, children have built houses, mill tary entrenchments, forts, etc, out oi the sncw, and here and there these same children give indications that they are by no means entirely ignorant of what IS going on in Europe. And, at the same time, they make one think that the spirll of American youth stands for war-With or without cause. Perhaps one has no right to speak of New York children as American youth they are youths of all nations, but they are even now undergoing the melting pro- cess in the big pot.
 That moving picture work in Central park last Tuesday was sufficient to make anyone who dreams of being a movie hero or heroine changes his plans and his mind at once. Those dancing girls did not have on as much clothing as IS worn by society girl in bathing at Palm Beach. and their bare feet were bleeding regular blood.
 "Heroines?" Not altogether. by any means; some were kicking, and justifi- ably; some were almost ready to sheo tears, and with reason; some were clear ly in terror of results, and with reason, and some were apparently enjoying it, without reason.
 The blood came when the crusted snow was broken through by the bare feet of these moving picture dancers, and even Miss Marion Morgan, their teacher and di- rector, declined when someone suggested that picture be taken of their feet, de- claring that would be too horrid.'
 After seeing this the movie world will rever possess my genius unless they tied string to Mary Pickford's and c. Chaplin's salaries and handed me both at the same time.

 General Carranza, in telegram to the state department, expressed regret at the Columbus massacre, but made no comment on the proposal of send ing American troops to hunt down the bandits. Eliseo Arredondo, his ambas- sador here, was officially informed of the American governments action. He only replied that he would commit nicate with his chief. He has previous ly expressed his personal opinion that the movement would not be opposed.
 State department officials declined to say what their attitude would be if General Carranza took a hostile posi- ton.
