AMERICANS THREATENED

Fl Paso Tex, March 12.-John Church ill of Fl Paso, who arrived in Juarez to- day from Chihuahua City, said that while he and five other Americans were wait ing for their train in Chihuahua Mex ican threatened him, saying that all six Americans would be hanged before they reached the border. The Americans made the trip in safety.
 The horse races in Juarez had a larger crowd of Americans than usual today, apparently attracted by some purse races. MeXicans for the most part remained si- lent about the American eXpeditionary force, some expressing the hope that Car ranza soldiers would catch Villa before United States troops entered Mexico.
 Activity of Carranza soldiers about some ditches back of the race track at tracted attention of Americans. It was said the soldiers were cleaning up rub bish
 Reports that peril to the Mormonists had decreased came from Gen. Gabriel Gavira, Juarez commander. He felt that the American colonists were perfectly safe under the protection of the troops of Col. Samuel Gonzales Gavira said he had not received any instructions from General Carranza.
 Two trains that were expected in Juarez from Chihuahua City carrying the 600 SOL diers of General Carza and General Gut ierreZ, commander-in-chiefo of Chihuahua, did not appear. It was said the trains officers at Juarez thought the trains would arrive tomorrow.
 UNCERTAIN AS TO VILLA
 There was still uncertainty in the Juarez hea adquarters as to which Corralitos Gen eral Villa was reported to be near. One is ranch about 15 miles from the rail- Va etc sion of this station would give Villa con- trol of the line. The fact that the train from Chihuahua came through this II orning without incident supports the theory that he was at the ranch
 MeXicans who talked with Villas troops just prior to the Columbus raid, said Villa told them his next move would be against Fl Paso and Juarez. General Gavra said that General Bertain, who is trying to head off the rebels from the north believed that Villa intended to strike down the course of the Chinipas river to get into Sinaloa, where he pos sibly hoped to rebuild his reputation po- ltically.
 General Gavira said he had heard that President Carranza had left the provi- sional capital at Queretaro for Aguas Calientes on a matter of state.
 The Sixth and the Sixteenth United States infantry broke camp here today. At Brigadier General Pershing's head quarters it was said they might entrain by tomorrow, but information about their destination was refused.
 Mrs Maude H. Wright, who was taken to Columbus by the Villa raiders. has not yet recovered her baby, which was taken from her when her husband was killed at the Wright ranch nine days before the invasion of New Mexico She said she has assurances that the baby is well with her friend. Charles Peeier, in Pearson

offers of service by prospective VOL unteers. MT. Baker repeated to all inquiries his statement that no call upon the National Guard or for volun- teers is contemplated
 The general instructions to General Funston, it is understood, lay stress upon the necessity of impressing Mex jeans on both sides of the border with the fact that the United States is in- terested only in defending it's own bor- ders, and that troop movements now in progress or contemplated have no other object. Officers of the expedi- tionary force will be directed to make this clear to civilians as well as off cials of the de facto government with whom they come in contact. Instruc- tions are explicit. it is said, to cap- ture or disperse the bandits and return to United States territory immediately.
 MAY GO TO CONGRESS
 The President is considering, it is known, laying the whole situation be- fore Congress. Some of his advisers however, believe this might have harmful effect in that his purpose might be misconstrued by the Mexi- can people. Congress is the only war making power, and however carefully the Presidents words might be select ed, it is understood these advisers be- lieve they might be distorted when they reach Mexico.
 Should the President finally carry the matter to the capitol, he will make it very clear, it is said. that opera tions in Mexican territory to a great CT extent than is absolutely necessary to stamp out the border bandits is the farthest thought from his mind and that he proposes to recognize to the fullest extent the complete independ- ence and sovereignty of Mexico.
 Orders calculated to complete in de- tail every arrangement necessary for the movement of the American forces into Mexico have been issued by the officers of the general staff and heads of the various bureaus of the depart ment. Nothing has been omitted in the programme recommended by Gem eral Funston.
 Maj. Gen. Tasler IT. Bliss, chief of the mobile army division, informed Sec retary Baker late today that machin- cry had been perfected to meet any contingency that might arise incident to the Mexican eampaiTn and could be set in motion at word. Similar re- ports came from the adjutant general, the inspector general, the quarter master general the surgeon general, the chief of ordnance and the other divisional offidals.
 Nearly every officer, official and clerk at the Var department has been busy since tha Presidents announce ment Friday ulat the army would be 'sent into Mexco to punish Villa and his bandits.

LADIES WILL BE ADMITTED
 TO THE A. B. NATAToRlUM

AL the meeting of Camp Juneau No. S2. held last night In their hell' 1t was decided that all ladies of the citv whether related to an A. B. or not will be admitted to the natator' lum and swimming tank ot any time when accompanied by an A. B. This allows unmarried A. B.'s to take their lady friends to the tank when they go themselves. For all married men a card has been printed, which, when properly signed, admits their ladies to the building at all times. whether accompanied by an A. B. or not. The cards may be obtained at the office.
 Tuesday from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. has been set aside as an exclusive la dies day. No man will be admitted to the tank floor or to the balcony above. The club rooms will be open to A. B's at all times. but they will be denied admittance to the natatorium. This gives the ladies one absolutely free day when the greatest amount of pri- vacy is insured. The impression has prevailed among the members that they will be denied admittance to the tank during the afternoons when the school children are in. This is' er- roneous as members may go to the tank at any time they choose. the only exception besides Tuesday. being Wednesday and Friday afternoons be- tween S:15 and 3 o'clock
