pairing to use the recently captured

will have the advantage of satisfac-
tory communications by sea, while the
Turks are handicapped by incredibly
bad land communications The Rus

American Troops to
Invade Mexico.
FIVE THOUSAND men
IN The EXPEDITION
White House Says Order Does
Not Mean Intervention.

Washington, March 11.-President
Wilson has ordered American troops
over the Mexican border to capture
or kill the Villa bandits who raided
Columbus, N. M.
Major General Scott, chief of staff
of the army, announced that the ex-
petition will consist of not less than
5000 men, all of which are available
on the border under Major General
Funston.
In it's present stage the presidents
order does not mean armed interven-
ton in Mexico. 1t provides for a
punitive expedition to deal with law
less forces over which the Carranza
government has no control.
The following statement was issued
at the White House:
can adequate force will be sent at
once in pursuit of Villa, with the sin
gle object of capturing him and put
ting stop to his forays.
This can be done, and will be done
in entirely friendly aid Of the con-
stituted authorities in Mexico, and
with scrupulous respect for the SOW
ereignty of that republic"
VILLA, DEAD OR ALIVE,
AIM OF UNITED STATES.
1t was said at the White House that
the American government wants Viii
la, dead or alive, and that no step will
be neglected to carry out that object.
1t was declared that the United
States will not consider the punitive
expedition an invasion of Mexico, and
will continue to deal with the Carran-
"a government. The American govern
ment still is opposed to armed inter
vention in Mexico, but has decided
that the peace of both Mexico and
the United States is imperiled by the
continued activities Of Francisco Villa.
The cabinet was unanimous in de-
Gliding that Villa must be caught
1t was said that the pursuit of Villa
will be undertaken in a comprehen-
sive way and organized plans will be
laid for his apprehension.
Officials received the word of the
decision to go after Villa with troops
with undisguised satisfaction. Cabi-
net members expressed themselves as
greatly pleased Army officers voiced
unanimous approval A general feel
ing of relief that the administration
had decided to take the step was ap-
parent.
