CAVALRYMEN
PURSUE VILLA
IN HOT CHASE
WILL FIND WHETHER AMERl-
CAN HORSE is BETTER
THAN MEXICAN PONY--THE
BANDITS ARE IN NEED.

FL PASO, Texas. March 27.--Pur-
suit of Francisco Villa had developed
today in race between cavalrymen
of the United States and the fleeing
bandits mounted ON Mexican ponies.
According To dispatches from the
front. Villa has broken through the
Carranza line and is fleeing south
ward with the American troops
straining every nerve to catch up
with him before he reaches the for
bidding mountain wastes in the
Guerrero district.
The one hope Of Il speedy termi-
nation to the chase is that the flight
of the bandits will be checked by
starvation and the exhaustion of
their ponies. Il is known that Villa
is almost destitute of 10th supplies
and ammunition and the dead and
dying horses found along his trail
give evidence of his desperate haste
and need.
Once safely in the midst of the
Sierra Tarahumarres the task of run
ming the band to his lair will have
become one of tremendous difficulty.
This country is inhabited by the
Tarahumare Indians, once the most
distinctive tribes in Mexico. An
| American who owns q ranch at
Omara, in the heart of the district,
and who lived there fortysyears, gave
this description of the Tarahumares
Htoday:

BRUNSWICK GETS IN STATE
AUTOMOBILE YEAR BOOK
Chamber of Commerce of Geor-
gia Issues Booklet.

One of the principal reasons why
automobiling tourists heretofore have
not visited the south in any great
numbers is because there has been no
way for them to select good routes.
For years the north and west have
had books issued giving correct data
concerning travelling conditions
through these various sections. with
explicit maps of the different roads
over which an automobile party could
travel with perfect assurance that
they would not come to missing bridg-
es or any other kind of roadway that
could not be travelled
Travelling in the south, however,
was different. No fellow knew the
route any further than his ordinary
business or pleasure trips carried him
and a tourist would often find him.
