NEGRO REGIMENT ON MARCH
INTO MEXICO "AFTER VILLA"

SAN ANTONIO Tex, March 16.-with
all southbound trains carrying in fresh
troops for every border post, Major Gen.
eral Frederick Funston today turned his
attention to preparations for departure of
additional troops.
Fort Sam Houston, the headquarters of
General Funston, was alive with anima-
ton, as II was assumed that the Major
General and his staff very soon would
move southwark and take up a position
nearer the border.
General Funston's headquarters are
equipped with wireless and telegraph to
receive all news from the border, and off,
cial advices announcing that tho 7th and
10th Cavalry also had proceeded across
the border from Culbertsons ranch were
momentarily expected.
The 10th is negro regiment. The two,
commanded by Colonel James f. Erwin
and Colonel William G. Brown, respective
ly were stationed at Fort Sam Houston
and at Nogales until the Columbus raid.
Rigid censorship was maintained at the
fort on all movements of troops, but from
the fact that the two cavalry regiments
had moved southwark from Culbertson's
ranch 1t was surmsed that the punitive
expedition was headed for Colonla Diaz,
a Mormon colony in the foothills of the
Sierra Madre Mountains, in the Rio Chico,
whence there runs a good wagon road to
the south.

BORDER POSTS, FEARING RAIDS,
APPEAL FOR MILITIA GUARD

SAN ANTONIO Tex, March 16-The
National Guard Of Texas Arizona and
New Mexico will soon be ordered to the
border by the War Department. It was
reliably stated at Fort Sam Houston to.
day.
The troops will be used to protect such
border communities as Brownsville,
Laredo and Preside, Tex; Douglas,
Tucson and Bisbee, Ariz. The call may
come before the end of the week.
Municipal officials OF Arizona and New
Mexico towns have made frantic appeals
to General Funston for additional pro.
lection. fearing possible local uprisings
on the part of the resident Mexicans.
In every case General Funston has
pointed out that the local authorities re.
quests for Federal assistance must come
from the Governor of the State wishing
1t. General Funston regards the situation
along the border as extremely acute.
The situation opposite Douglas is re.
garded as particularly serious. General
Gales and men there are aggressively
anti.American, it is reported. Preside,
Tex, opposite which point a Carranza
garrison mutinied and executed Colonel
Rojas, the Carranza commander, is
danger spot. Near Brownsville the Car
rama commander is friendly to Amer.
leans and is said to have control over his
troops.
Whether there will be serious clashes
between American soldiers and Car
ranzistas depends upon the degree of con-
troll Carranza commanders are able to ex-
ert over their men.

$1,OOO,OOO LUMBER PLANT
NOW MENACED BY VILLA

Ell PASO, Tex, March 16.--The MADEIRA
Company, Ltd, owner of more than
s1,000,000 worth of saw mills and lumber
in the Galeana district, southwest of Casas
Grandes, is to be the next intended victim
Of the Villa bandits, according to a dis.
patch received in FL Paso today.
Villa and his men uore said to- be NOV
ing in the direction of Pearson, seat of the
company's offices and main plant after
his departure from Carralitos. He ap-
parently took a roundabout route to avoid
the Carranza troops at Casas Grandes
There Is little loot to be had at Pearson,
since most Of tho population is engaged
in work at the mills but 1t is believed that
loot is the secondary consideration In
Villas mind, His grievance against the
company dates back to December 20 when
he was informed by employees of the COM
pany at MADEIRA that they hnd 1000 pesos
coming to them which they could not col
lect. Villa went to the head of the COM
pany. but got no satisfaction Then he ar
rested 20 American employees OF the COM
pany, taking them to Chihuahua City,
where they we're held for ransom. In the
meantime, however, Carranzista troops
advanced upon Chihuahua City and Villa
and his men were forced to flee. The cap
tives were released and the ransom is still
unpaid.
Just before his raid upon Columbus
Villa is reported to have made the threat
that he would wipe out the debt of the
MADEIRA Company"
