Report Villa Prepared
to Make Stand Against
u. S. at OjitOs Pass
By associated Press

FL Paso. Texas. March IA cir
cumstantial story reached here to-day
from Mexican sources to the effect
that Villa had once more changed his
plans and intended making a stand
against the American punitive expe-
dtion at Ojitos pass, the narrow gap
in the west Chihuahua Sierras through
which he made his murderous dash
on Columbus.
Americans familiar with the country
asesrt that the Ojitos pass is admir-
ably adapted for a successful defense
If Villa really intends to risk an open
engagement with the American troops
and does not intend TO use guerilla
tactics.
All night long sensational reports
came into this city from various
points along the border but nearly all

wagons were scattered about the train.
General Pershing, instead of walking
down the lane, which the photograph
ers had formed, stepped behind an
army wagon and thence to the oppo-
site side of the car.
The train was about to pull out
when the crowd discovered the Cen
eral had outmaneuvered them.
Soon after General Pershing's de-
parture last night, the mass of de-
tailed information which had been
pouring in for several days from nu-
merous border points west of here
about details of troop movements. was
completely stopped. This was in line
with the policy forecast by military
authorities to keep secret any impor-
tant troop movements.
No information reached here as to
how soon movements in force might
be expected. General Funston's an
nouncement last night that the eXpe-
dition was awaiting only the placing
of adequate border patrols did not
serve to clear up the question when
the troops will enter, for although
considerable information has been OBJ
tanned about the gathering of units for
the eXpeditionary column, the military
authorities have effectively cloaked in
secrecy their preparations for main
tenance of a secondary line for patrol
duty along the American border.
overnight reports placed Villa still
at Corralitos, where he had shifted
his men yesterday. Carranza officials
at Juarez were trying to get further
information about him. Tis present
position is still within SJrikinS dis
tance of the colony of 500 Mormons
about Casas Grandes.
Carranza troop movements, accord
ing to reports from Mexican officers
at border points, are much similar to
the American army preparations, that
is, the Mexican soldiers are being
gathered in considerable force at var
ious points, instead of rushing a few
small bodies of men in immediate pur-
suit of Villa. These Carranza forces
massing at various points near the
American border numbered some
thousands. No figures were available
as to the total numbers gathering
south of Villas position. Reports
reaching Juarez indicated that to the
south also the Carranza preparations
seemed to be for a long rather than
short and fast campaign.

lacked confirmation.
The frontier country between here
and Columbusis is showing unmistakable
signs of the nervous strain that has
been increasing in tension since the
Columbus raid. The scattered ham,
let's which mark this section, consist
ing generally of half a dozen houses
occupied by railroad foremen and
section hands have sent requests to
the military officials for protection.
Dogs Carry Messages
Stories of the activities of Villa
agents have poured in Fort Bliss and
many have been received by the civil
authorities. Several arrests have al
ready been made and others are eX-
pected to follow. One such story is to
the effect that the Villa sympathizers
are using dogs to send messages and
information across the border. The
man who brought this story is an
American living on the border close to
the city. He said he had seen one
dog with roll of paper tied around
his neck running across the border.
He fired several bullets at the animal
but failed to hit it,
TrainIoad of Trucks
In the meantime the trains loaded
with all kinds of military supplies con-
tinue to arrive here or pass through
on their way to other points on the
International line. Among the equip
ment brought in was a trainload of
motor trucks which are to be tried
as transports in the sandy wastes
of the Chihuahua deserts.
Keen interest is being shown here
in the arrival of the aeroplane squad
ron which is reported to be on it's way
from San Antonio and is expected to
arrive to-day or tomorrow. The
twenty-third infantry which was Or
dered from Galveston, is also eX-
pected here tot-morrow.
The question as to where the border
will be crossed first and when, re-
mains q matter of speculation in the
absence of any official announce
ments, but there are numerous signs
that the start will not be long de-
layed.
