BOOST FOR WILSON
SEEN IN DODD,S RIDE
EARLY CAPTURE OF VILLA
WOULD END MUCH POLICY
CRITICISM.

Washington, D. c., April 4.--While
army men and others today were dis
cussng with animation and eratif:
cation the recent exploit Of Colonel
Dodd and his troopers in making a
record ride ard surprising the villa
band politicians about the Capitol
and in Administration quarters were
talking about II from another angle.
They took Tie view that the 1916
political campaign might be affected
largely bv Dodd's work and that Ct
the other da8hing cayalrymen who
are heading the American expedition.
Not only Is the carly capture Of
villa hoped for here as the result
Of The brilliant exploit Of Colonel DOdd
and his troopers ara the persist
encc OF the American forces in the
hunt for Tho bandit leader. but among
Democratic chiefs in Congress and in
Administration circles, the belief is
taking hoid that the Pershing eXpedi-
ton viii be able soon to retire from
Mexico in creditable fashion.
II is declared that if the President
and his advisers in Congress and out
al il could sec this consummatioH
brought about they would be most
deeply gratlicd
Had Been Apprehensve.
Until Dodd's men made their remark
able fifty-five mile march and sur
prised the Villistas, there was appre-
hcnson here that it would not be pos
sible to get into contact with any
considerable body Of the bandits.
The striking Of hard blow at tho /.
Villa band, the killing of Hernandez !
the wounding of Lopez. and the flight /
Of Villa in a wounded and disabled
condition it is felt here, will have
y moral affect among the MeXicans
and. while tending to hold down any
outburst Of disaffecti0n among Vill1
evmpathibers will facilitate the round
inc up of Villa himself.
Miqht Silence Criticism.
If Villa can be captured within the
next few days or the next few weeks,
il is felt here that the effect on the
Mexican situation will not only be pro
found but that it will tend largely to
silence criticism of the Wilson MeXi
car policy.
The Administration political chief
tains have been worrying over the
Mexican question greatly and fear
ing lest it prove damaging to the ;
Democrats in the campaign.
But today they feel greatly cheered
up. They point out that if Villa should
be taken, if the Pershing expedition
should then be drawn out Of Mexico
without any serious friction with the /
Carranzistas or other Mexican ele-
ments. not only would the Mexica,
de facto government be placed on a 4
much firmer basis, but ii would be
made much more difficult to carp at O
The Administration course.
