Something OF the. strategy Of the
dash on Villas trail also was appar-

made its start from the San Bernard
ino ranch, which Is within the little
square OF territory, about the size OF
q large county, where the state OF

of two or three. Several OF these
were located In the
in the vicinity OF Guzman.
When seen yesterday they did not Of
fer to attack Americans but as the
lines of military communications
stretched out longer, watchfulness OF
American patrols must be constant to
prevent these bandits from trying
