quest after Lansing Confers

WILL LET HIM CROSS
Great Deal of Unnecessary Pes
simiSm Exists as to Attitude
of General Carranza.
INV AGSoetATEo paGsa,

WASHINGTON. March 19.-Thg
United States will reply to General
Cnrranzns request for n reciprocal
arrangement for crossing OF troops at
the McxicOn border late today, after
Secretary Wilson has conferred with
President Wilson. II was indicated
that Carranza's proposal would be ac-
CCntud.
Tho acceptance probably will be
made on the grounds that Carranza
troops mny cross into American terri
tory In pursuit Of bandits Ut any time
that American forces arc not present
In sufficient numbers. II will be point
cd out that the inability OF the Car
rnnza troops to handle the situation
In northern Mexico ls the sole ground
for entry Of American soldiers.
In that way American officials exrs
pect tho situation will be relieved of
It's chief menaclng feature. They ex
pressed the view, today that great
deal OF unnecessary pesslmism exists
as to General Carranza's attitude. AS
TO the attitude OF the Mexican people
themselves, however, there Is some
concern. but II is realized that only
the developments OF the next few days
Gun clear up that phase OF the sltllAs

tnY AEnoelA1En rREnt,


COLUMBUS, N. M, March 13-.
Actual concentration of United States
troops for an expedition into Mexico
to try to capture Francisco Villa
was begun here today.
From the heavy troop movements
to Columbus 1t would seem, accord
ing to officers stationed here that
this point is to be made base of OPP
=erations. #
The force of General Pablo Ber-
Eani, commanding the Carranza gar
rlSon ait Palomas on the Mexican
side of the border south of here, was
increased today by the arrival OF 500
men bringing his forces to total Of
1000 men. BY tonight it Is expected
that the American garrison here of
1,100 men will be augmented by the
arrival of two regiments Of infantry,
a signal company, a hospital detacll-
ment aud some mountain artillery
from Fort Bliss at FL Paso, and a
battery OF the Sixth field artillery
from Nogales. Ariz. Two squadrons
OF the Twelfth cavalry from Fort
Robinson, Neb., are expected later.
All save the cavalry from Fort Rob-
inson, which Is to go on station here,
are apparently to be available for
expeditionary purposes.
The battery of mountain artillery
from Fort Bliss Is equipped with
twelve mountain guns especially de-
signed for the character Of fighting
which the punitive expedition Is ex-
pected to do. Two troops OF the
Thirteenth cavalry, F and H, which
have heen on patrol duty at HERNIA
mas, twenty miles west OF here, also
have returned to camp preparatory
to the despatching OF IN expedition.
Troop G, which had been doing duty
ut Dorder Gates. two and one-half
miles south, also was returned, being
replaced by company OF infantry.
In striking contrast to the excite
ment of the last few days, prepara-
tton for the, departure of the exedt-
tIon progressed today with regular
1ty and calm.
lit is not expected here that the ex-
peditlon to enter Mexico at least from
this point will be started for several
DAYS because OF the poor railroad IA
cllitles with which to concentrate the
troops.
Meanwhile Villa. with but small
body OF men. 1t is reported here. is
fleeing farther from the United States
border daily into the mountains
which parallel the border OF Chlhua-
hua Mt Sonora towards Guerrero.
whero his days as an outlaw began,
and where to almost every peon
"Panch" Villa is hero. Army
men here point out that once back
In the mountains among his friends,
the pursuit of Villa is apt to resem-
ble a game OF hide and seek. Some
officers believe that the pursuit may
be a matter Of months.
