Senate Promises to Give
Measure Immediate
Attention.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, March 22.-Passage of
the Hay army increase bill in the
house some time tomorrow is assured
tonight. The bill is expected to come
up in the senate Monday. Chairman
Chamberlain, of the senate military
committee, announced he would await
the house bill and give it brief con-
sideration in committee and ask for
its immediate consideration in the
senate.
Debate on the house bills plan to
federalize the national guard is still
to be approved and will take place to-
morrow. Representative Garner has
an amendment to substitute federal
volunteers, as provided In the senate
bill. While the Gardener amendment
is not expected to pass, the debate
doubtless will bring out the weak
nesses of the national guard system
and the reasons for impelling CARR
son to leave the cabinet.

GENERAL HERRERA AND 1000 CARRANZA TROOPS REVOLT
IERICAN ARMY AND ENTIRE NATIONAL G
IS VILLA A GREAT MILITARY GENIUS? OR JUST
go A CRIMINAL BANDIT? HIS HEAD TELLS STORY
BY JESSIE ALLEN FOWLER.


New York, March 22.-Francesco
Villa, the Mexican bandit, cannot, ac-
cording to laws of phrenology, be con-
sidered a true military leader. He
has strong evidence of being a crimi-
nal bandit.
AS a military leader he cannot be
compared with Major General Hugh
Il. Scott or Major General Leonard
Wood. Neither can he be compared
with General Joffre or General Petain,
of the French army; Hindenburg or
the Crown Prince, of the German
army, or General French or General
Kitchener, of the English army.
Villas tactics are guerilla warfare
and the psychological aspect of his
makeup shows him incapable of car
rying on legitimate warfare.
In examining a character of this
kind one must take into account the
bringing up, environment and educa-
tion of the subject, to get the right
viewpoint
What would be applicable to a gem
eral of the type of Joffre, Hindenberg
and Kitchener would not apply to a
man of Villas type, who is uncul-
tured, uncouth, and without mental
poise. One might almost say he is
irresponsible for his actions, psyche
logically speaking.
Villa has an active temperament,
which is seen in his strong frame
work, powerful muscular system and
capacious chest. With this tempera-
ment. he gets his restless, active, war
like, enterprising mind.
Joined to this temperament is his
vital or emotional nature, which
makes him quick to rally around him
people of even less capable type.
His chief characteristics are easily
seen from his head and face. He is
a man who, through force of circum-
stances and superior activity, has been
placed at the head of bandits and ruff
fans like himself.
He has only little restraint.
Lack Of caution makes him dar-
ing. He knows nothing about
personal fear.
he has just enough secretIveness to
make him cunning in the arrangement
of his plans, but he has not the sa.
gacity or reserve of an ordinary man
His lack of culture and refinement
spring from his strong animal nature
He is careless about human life ant
the treatment he is inclined to Civ,
other people.
He has a mirthful element which
makes him sarcastic and vulgar ant
inclined to laugh and joke with hi
Imen, who probably think him a joll!
good fellow.

Believed Herrera Response
BILE For Cutting Telegraph
and Phone Wires.
HE MAY ATTEMPT
TO EMULATE VILLA
Herrera and His Forces Are
Now Aligned With
Villa Bandits.
by ASSOCIATED, PRESS.

San Antonio, March 22.-Unofhcial
reports from several sources, said to
be reliable, reached here tonight that
General Luis Herrera, commanding
two thousand CarranZa troops at Chi
huahua, has revolted and aligned him
self with Villa.
According to the story here Her
rera was relieved of his command
Monday and Immediately took steps
to ALLEVIATE his garrison, many of
whom were former Villa troops. OBJ
servers here. see a possible connection
with Herrera's reported action and
the interruption of wire service be-
tween Casas Grandes and Juarez yes
terday and wire cutting between Tor
reon and 0jinaga opposite Preside,
Texas.
Should Herrera cut the northwest
ern railroad it would make ii impos-
sible for Americans to use railroad
for several days, even should Car
rama allow its use.
It IS feared also that Herrera might
attempt to emulate Villa and attack
Preside. A small American force is
there now, which doubtless will be
strengthened
Gen. Pershing's progress since Mon
day is not known at headquarters
here. His report today dealt with
f'umors that Villa and Carranza troops
were engaged at Namiduiqa. All but
one of the aviation squadron has beer
accounted for according to reports re-
ceived by Gen. Funston. The aero
plane whose driver is believed to have
been Lieutenant Gorrells reported
missing south of Casas Grandes, wal
last seen over Colonia, Juarez.

Flying School
toBe Expanded
Activities Are Certain to
Continue On a Great
Scale.

In reply to a letter from Hon. Jas
B. Whitfield, justice of the Florida su-
preme court, urging development Of
the Pensacola navy yard, Secretary
Daniels has written as follows:
Washington, March 10, 1916.
NV Dear Judge Whitfield.
Allow me to acknowledge and
thank you for your letter of the
7th. You know that when I en-
tered office the Pensacola navy
yard was long idle, its enormous
investments going TO waste with
no prospect of its being utilized.
We have since established
through our naval aerOnautic
school, a branch Of the service
still in its infancy, which Is desS
tined TO grow and become q fact
of primary Importance In the
naval activities in the future.
This cannot be accomplished at
once. It's activities are expend-
ing, and with conditions so favor
able at PensacoIa that vicinity is
certain to benefit by the ineyita-
bic expansion of our aeronauti-
cal activities. II is altogether inn
probable that this con yress will
authorize much expansion ashore
this year, because the demand for
expansion afloat is so great. The
activities of the aviation school
are certain to continue ON a great
scale.
rejoice in the success of my
fellow statesmen in Florida, and
in expressing to you my very best
wishes, beg TO remain
Very truly yours,
