He Says Owners of Property Seek to

Washington.-Pres Wilson late
Saturday issued a warning that "sin-
lister and INSCRIPTIONS influences" are
spreading alarmist reports about the
Mexican situation with the object of
forcing intervention by the United
States "in the interest of certain Am
erican owners Of Mexican properties"
In formal statement the president
told the people of the United States to
be on their guard and not to credit
such stories. He urged those who dis
authenticity of every report from the
border, and called attention again to
the governments announcement that
the sole object of the punitive expedi-
ton now in Mexico was to punish Viii
la and his followers.
The news services supplying news
papers had been asked, the president
said, to assist in keeping this view
constantly before the Mexican and
American people, to the end that the
oApeullioH SHoulu iot pe given lHe Col-
or Of war.
The purpose of the American COM
manders was described as embracing
cooperation "in every possible way"
with the forces Of General Carranza
and withdrawal from Mexican terri
tory as soon as the object Of the expe-
dition is accomplished.
The president solemnly warned the
people that there are persons all
along the border who are actively en-
gagged In originating and giving as
wide currency as they cap to rumors
of the most sensational and disturb
ing sort which are wholly unjustified
by the facts"

0. HOLLAND
NOW HEADS COLLEGE
WAS INAueURATED TO PREsl-
DENcY OF WASHINGTON STATE
COLLEGE LAST FRIDAY.
PROF. E. A. BRYAN RETIRING
Had Been Head of Institution for Past
rs Years-SchooI Now Has 1000
Students-President Butler of
Columbia Takes Part.

Pullman, Wash.-Ernest o. Holland
on March "a became president OF
Washington State college by formal
investiture of the office at the hands
of q. T. Conan, president of the board
of regents. The exercises were held
in the magnificent structure on the
campus named Bryan hall, in honor OF
the veteran educator, e. A. Bryan, who
retired after term of quarter of a
century, during which time he had
seen the institution grow from an in
secure institution, with but little
equipment, tosthe present status, when
it has magnificent plant and more
than 1000 students.
Cultural Idea Favored.
The theory sometimes expounded
that the state college should confine
it's activities to technical instruction
and leave the "humanities" to others
found little encouragement in the ad.
dress of the new president. He de-
clared the cultural side of life was es
sential along with that of the prac
teal, in order that the highest type
of citizenship might be achieved.
There was curious interest in this
declaration, especially as President
Holland referred directly to the con
flict that has existed between the
state college and the state university
DR.. Holland declared for a new
spirit of rivalry, but one which should
consist of an endeavor to see which
could produce the highest type OF
service to the state. This statement is
lent added interest and hope by rea-
son that President Holland and Presi.
dent Henry Suzzallo of the university
are friends and graduates of the same
Columbia university.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia was there to see his pupil
receive the robes of office. In a noto-
BILE address DR.. Butler characterized
the installation of college presiaasn,tt
as ceremony ceremony tina that t c0ilild take place
u "a 10 other Land in the world-for the
reason that the parallel to the office
does not exist any place else.

OUR SOLDIERS IN
RACE AFTER VILLA
BANDIT ELuDEs MEXICAN CIRCLE
ATTEMPTING TO cHEcKAIM
NEAR NAMIQuIPA.
ARE DIVIDED FOR HIM.
Colonel Dodd at the Head of Division
of Cavalry Is Riding Hard After
Bandit, $50 Miles South of the
Mexican Border.

San Antonio, Texas, March 81
Francisco Villa has escaped from the
Mexican troops that had checked him
near Namiquipa, and three columns Of
American cavalry are pursuing him.
The American troops are almost $50
miles south of the border. This in
formation was contained in a detailed
report by Gen. Pershing that reached
Gen. Funston here today.
Gen. Funston forwarded the report
to Washington without making public
any but the essential features.
Col. Dodd is commanding the ad-
vanced columns that are riding hard
after Villa and his men.
Forces Are Divided.
General Pershing has divided his
forces so as to provide supporting col
umns along the thinly stretched line
Of communication from his most ad-
vanced base at Ell Vale.
From Ell Vale another line is being
maintained back to Casas Grandes.
from where communication with the
border is maintained.
Pershing Directs Operations.
General Pershing himself is some
where south of Casas Grandes direct
ing the movements Of his forces and
directing so far as possible the opera
tions of Colonel Dodd. Cavalry is be-
ing used along the lines communicate
ing with El Vale, where detachment
of infantry is stationed
Three aeroplanes are at Ell Vale and
will be used in scouting as soon as the
high winds that have been sweeping
that part of Mexico for almost week
have subsidized, OF the eight machines
that went into Mexico two are still out
of commission. They were damaged in
the flights from Columbus to Casas
Grandes.
Villa ,...ot Weakened.
Details Of the operations about
Namiquipa that concluded with the es-.
cape of Villa were not revealed, but
there is little reason to believe that he
was even weakened by the fighting di-
rected against him by the de facto
government troops. Reports last week
from Mexican sources indicated that
he had been severely defeated. No
Americans were engaged and the fact
that Villa made his way through what
was described as an encircling line of
Mexican troops was taken to indicate
that he was the victor.
Unless fresh Mexican forces are sent
to meet Villa there appears no reason
why he should not make his way I'M
interrupted into the mountains of the
Guerrero district, toward which he ap-
pears to be moving.
Anarchy In Torreon.
Ell Paso, Texas.-Interest in the Mex
lean situation shifted Monday, tenn
porarily at least, from northern Chi

Torreon is seriously threatened.
Villa Keeps Going
Casas Grandes, hCihuhhua, Mexico,
March 28.-Villa is flying southwest
toward the Sierras According to army
reports received here the rapidity Of
his flight is precipitating the American
pursuit. All arms of the service are
being used in an attempt to force the
