FIND MANY PRECEDENTS
FOR PURSUIT OF VILLA
jackson invaded Florida, Then Owned
ny Spain, on Two Occasions.

In ordering United States troops into
Mexico to hunt down Villas bandit
army President Wilson acted on the
principle of international law sanction
ing punitive expeditions against fac
tons in a foreign state which cannot
be or are not prevented by the consti-
tuted authorities Of that state from
attacking its neighbors.
Authorities on international law and
practice pointed to many %precedents
Witnessing the general acceptance of
thfi principle. 1t was written into the
treaty of 1890 between the United
States and Mexico. which now has
lapsed. in the form of a provision un
der which the military forces of either
country could pursue marauders across
the international line where IA hot
TRAIL existed. Even before this treaty
was negotiated. however. General Law
ton pursued a band of raiding Apaches
into Mexico.
Daniel Webster as secretary of state
accepted the 'l.Jt trail principle in
negotiating with Canadian authorities
in 1912 during the Fenian troubles in
Canada.
In two instances General Andrew
Jackson headed punitive expeditions
into Florida while that territory was
a Spanish possession. One was against
a filibustering faction based on Amelia
island and operating against the Unit
ed States. The other resulted in the
destruction of the town of st. Mare.
which had been the base of a Creek
Indian expedition against the United
States and involved the hanging by
United States troops Of a British sub
ject who General Jackson charged
was employed by the Creeks as a spy.
The British government investigated
that incident. but never protested.
Officials recalled Iaany other in.
stances where the hot trail" principle
had been invoked in some form by this
and other governments and declared
there could be no doubt of its applica-
bility in the case Of Villa.

PERISC0PES PUT ON MINES.
Germans Thus Seek to Discourage
Ramminq of U Boats.

A new German idea is reported by
Captain B. j. Keelty of the British
steamship Hatfield. just arrived in Bal
timore from Liverpool.
According to Captain Keelty, the
Germans, knowing that the British au-
thorities have offered a reward of 3d.
500 for any skipper who rams a sub
marine. have built a great number of
mines with a pipe projecting above
the water, which looks exactly like a
periscope, and set them adrift.
Along comes the British steamer and
sees the p~eriscope. With his choice, as
he thinks, between $500 and a tor
pedo in his ships side. he promptly
rams the supposed sumbarine-and is
instantly blown up.
Captain Keelty says many British
ships have already undergone this I'M
fortunate experience and that he him.

Purely Punitive Expedition.

The sovereignty of Mexico will not
be affected. The expedition is purely
a punitive one, and this country is not
making war on any one except the
band of outlaws who have for years
infested the hills of the troublesome
republic and robbed, murdered, looted
and fought for a living. The masses of
people in Mexico have been ruled by
these bandits.
The United States is going to free
the poor Mexicans and give them op-
portunity to earn a living for them
selves without the risk of having their
property stolen and the thieves going

rama is expected to cooperate with

however, before the orders to get Villa
were issued.
1t is not going to be such an easy
matter to get Villa. Army men agree
on this point. They do not expect a
battle with the bandits. but fear that
the band will disperse and hide out in
the fastness of the mountains and take
pot shots at u men. The supply of
ammunition in Villas hands is known
to be scanty, and it is believed he will
soon exhaust it.. One of the most in
teresting features of the expedition
will be the part played by our aviators.
1t is expected hat scouting machines
will be sent oye the hills in the efforts
to locate the Villa hiding places.
The expedition is mainly a cavalry
force. Infantry could not cover terri
tory rapidly enough. There were
about 5000 cavalrymen distributed
along the border and about 1000 at
other stations in the United States.
The army has only six field artillery
regiments, and only two of. these are
mountain artillery-the Second and the
Fourth. The Second field artillery
(mountain) is in the Philippine Islands.
Only the Fourth field artillery (moun-
tain is in the United States. The en-

the situation develops as is now ex-
pected. Portions of the coast artillery
will be available. A call for volunteers
is not the remotest idea engaging the
attention of the general staff.
Barring the capture of Villa by a
"stroke of luck" which would reduce
the punitive plans of the government
to something in the nature of a cursory
invasion to disperse surviving Villistas.
the general staff has to plan for the
hemming in of northern Mexico. The
Atlantic and Pacific oceans will do
well enough to hem in that territory on
the east and west. The national guard
Is entirely equal to the necessity of
patrolling the border and assisting in
keeping open the lines of communica-
ton for the troops advancing south.
What's Villa going to do? Presum-
ably he is not going to trail with more
thar a few followers when he is hard
pressed. He may travel for awhile
with from 1000 to 5000 men, but he
will very soon be content with a couple
of hundred. later with a score and
finally with half a dozen he can trust
not to betray him. When he has re-
duced his force to that number he will
have confronted the general staff with
a needle in the haystack problem.
Needle In Haystack Problems.
Finding the needle-or the humble
bee-ought not to be an endless mat
ter. There isn't a man who knows
northern Mexico but believes that
Funston is equal to it. at may be a

casualties mixed in," say men from

1t is possible to overestimate the
matter in hand, as it is possible to un
derestimate it. Take the problem in
volved, if the ring is made around
northern Mexico or even if it hasn't
been made and Villa has taken to the
mountains. The Mexicans are poor
fighters except of a sort. They have a
limited supply of ammunition, They
are not good shots.

considerable worry.
Five outfielders are on the roster,
but Joe needs every one of them for
reserve material. With the excep-
ton of Mann, the gardeners are hard

sOuthpaw pitching and a fleet run

make reduction in that department.

Joe Tinker's cavorting Cubs are
about to be deleted by the censor,
President Tener of the National
league acting in the role of shears
Wielder.
Joe was going along on the as
sumption that he could carry as
many men as he wished through the
present season when word reached
him yesterday that he must respect
the 21-player limit, Reducing the
team to that number today, along
with the other clubs of the Organi-
zatiOn.
May is the official reduction date,
according to league law. One of the
unwTitten clauses of the peace agree
ment, according to the understand
ing Of Tinker and President Weegh-
man, was that the Cubs, because of
the amaIgamation of two full teams,
would not have to respect the law.
Now Joe and the prexy find they
were barking up the wrong tree. APP
peal has been made to Tener to re-
scind the ruling in this one instance,
but there is little hope he will acqui-
esce, and Joe and his kind employer
are meeting today to sharpen up the
pruning knife.
