WIRELESS INTERRUPTED:
PERSHlNG REPORT FAILS
No Definite Trace Of Bandit Chief
Found, According to Unofficial
Dispatches.

Columbus, N. NJ, April IAN at
tempt made by General Pershing to
make a report concerning the move
ments of the troops searching the
Guerrero district for Villa, failed be-
cause of an interruption in wireless
communication between the advanced
base at Colonia Dublan and points
south.
The, attempted communication broke
the forty-eight hour silence which
surrounded the operations of the ad-
vanced American detachments and
tended to relieve anxiety which had
been expressed. Only unofficial and
conflicting reports found their way
across the border. These in the main
indicated that no definite trace of the
bandit chief had boen found, but that
the troops are centering most OF
their efforts south of tho town of
Guerrero and in the direction of Par.
raj.

denial by Secretary Lansing was the
official answer to persistent reports
that the American troops might be
withdrawn from Mexico shortly re-
CARELESS of developments in the hunt
for Villa. Both Mr.. Lansing and Sec
rotary Baker Of the war department
indicated that there was no present
indication of changing the original
orders given General Funston.
Supplies Shipped to Pershing.
News from the border that train
load of supplies, shipped by private
firms, left Juarez for Casas Grandes
and Pearson, where they will be avail
able to General Pershing, caused sat
isfaction here. Although the army au-
thorities were not the actual shippers,
il was believed the practical result
would be the same.
Even without further action by or
concessions from Carranza such use
OF the railways, some officials think,
may meet the needs of the United
States without causing embarrass-
ment to the de facto government.
Motor Trucks From Columbus.
Secretary Baker indicated that in the
present status of the Mexican cam
paign the motor truck lines from Co.
lumbus are to be the principal artery
for supplies, with whatever use may
be gained from the railways as mere
ly supplemental. State department
dispatches during the day from Spe-
cial Agent John L. Rodgers at Quere-
taro told of continuance of negotia-
tons with Carranza on the railway
question.
Diaz Gathering Forces.
Official attention also was given to
the reported revolution of Felix Diaz
in Southern Mexico. Information of
the department of justice locating
Diaz in Mexico has been laid before
the state department. Diaz is said to
be securing both men and supplies
from Guatemala.
The only dispatch received from
General Funston was regarding dis
tribution OF recent army recruits

no additional light thrown on General
Pershing's campaign.
