VILLA DIVIDES FORCES.


VILLA DIVIDES FORCES.
villa. harried by the rapid progress Of
General PershIng's American cavalry, has
, split his retreatlng force into two bands
that are fleeing along the mountain trails,
according to information that reached Car
rama headquarters in Juarez early today.
General Gavra, the Carranza command
or at Juarez. believes that the dividing
of Villas forces indicates that the bandit
leader will not offer any resistance.
Scouts with the American forces have
nevertheless warned General Pershing to
be on the lookout for one of Villas sur
prise attacks. Every precaution is being
taken by the American soldiers as they
press forward. Villa is In n country he
knows thoroughly. In the mountains he
was able TO defy the soldiers of the Mex
lean Government for IS years.
AS Villa scurries southwark like n
hunted rat. the time for the real test of
Carranza's troops is nearing. IL is believed
that Villa will attempt to get through the
mountain passes and join Emiliano
Zapata or Reyes in the district where
those bandit leaders have long held sway
II this is his intention only the Carran-
zistas can stop him.
TEST FOR CARRANZA
General Carranza has ordered his army
to cooperate with the Americans, but It
is feared on the border that the troops of
the First Chief, ill desert in large numbers
as the Americans march further south and
permit Villa to pass through their lines,
some even joining his retreating columns.
Villas bandits, though travelling swift.
ly. still take time for murder and looting.
Reports come over the border that the
American troopers have come upon burned
ranch houses and mutilated bodies These
are the usual marks of a Villa trail.
This trail Is being followed with all
the endurance of the American troopers.
They left the border vowing not to return
without the bandit cheftaln dead or alive,
and they are eager to close in on him
before he reaches a territory where he can
prolong the campaign indefinitely. Re
ports have reached the border that in |
case the pursuit now in progress fails to |
trap the bandit leader orders from Wash !
ngton may recall the troops.
NEED OF SUPPLIES.
The rapid advance of the troops has |
added to the difficulty of keeping open a |
Inc of communication and supply To |
assure effective operation 1t is deemed |
necessary here that the United States will |
nave to get permission to use the Mex
can railways for the transportation of |
provisions and ammunition. This may be
granted and 1t may not.
A large part OF the Mexican people |
would not take kindly to the American |
roops using the Mexican lines to take
into Mexico to kill MeXlcans.

BUSINESS MEMS
CLUB TO MEET

A call has been issued to the cit
liens Of oxford, by the Business
Mems Club, to meet st the club
room Friday night at 1880. The
meeting is called in the interest
of the proposed jefferson high
way which Is to be built, and an
effort will be made by the citizens
Of oxford to have road tap this
city.
The route to be considered will
run direct from Oxford to Mem
phis, which is only two miles
longer than the route which has
been mentioned from Memphis
to Grenada.
Oxford is q logical center
between IGrenada and Memp-
his and this route will offer
many advantages over any other
proposed route. With the ex-
ceptions of few miles, We have
a splendid road from here to
Pontotoc, and there is a good
road from there TO Tupelo ard on
to Columbus and on to Birming-
ham. Thus it will be seen that
by adopting this route it will
complete connecting link be-
tween Memphis and Birmingham.
Memphis and Grenada; Memp
his and New Orleans and Mobile,
by the way of Oxford.
Maps and plans ara now in the
hands of engineers and when
completed will be presented to
the Good Road Con, ention
which meets in Memphis next
month.

welfare of Oxfotd and communi-
ty at heart be on hand Friday
