VILLA LINES UP PEONS
CHOOSES BEST FOR RANKS
Pulls Men and Boys Out and Tell
Them They Are Honored
Above Others.

Field Headquarters, United States
army in Mexico, via AeropIane to CO.
lumbus, N. NJ, March 28.-For two
weeks the reports along Villas trail
shows that he had seized the young
men and boys Of small towns His
custom has been for either himself or
one of his lieutenants to line up most
of the male population for inspection.
The best physical specimens have
been pulled out of line and told rough
ly that they were honored above the
others because they became Villas
Men" In the Casas Grandes region at
Galeana and FL Vale Villa secured
fully a half hundred men by this
method more than enough to make
up for the wounded carried from the
Columbus fight, which he dropped in
those sections.

MAY BE RETARDED IN PURSUIT
OF OUTLAWS UNLESS PER-
MISSION TO USE RAIL
WAYS is GRANTED.
VILLA PREPARING TO
RESIST u. S. FORCES
Evidence That Bandit Leader Intends
to Make Stand is Collected by
Scouts-FIying Columns Seal
Up Trails and Passes in
Mountains.

Field Headquarters, American EX-
peditionary Force, Colonia Dublan,
Chihuahua, Mexico, March 28.-(By
Aeroplane to Columbus, N. Mum
less permission is granted soon for
the shipment Of supplies over one of
the railroads to the American troops
in Mexico the pursuit Of Villa may be
seriously retarded 1t was explained
at department headquarters that the
frightening lines Of communication
along heavy trails had made it practi-
cally impossible to deliver supplies by
auto trucks and that already a serious
shortage of grain for horses and mules
had been experienced.
Americans Prove Superiors.
Horses, mules and automobiles have
done the work and success this far has
been attained by the ability of the
American cavalry to travel fast and
far on light rations. Several cavalry
organizations have been out for more
than a week on little beef, salt cot
fee and rice or beans. Not a word
of complaint has come back from these
cause for belief that thus far the
American troopers have proven them
selves the superiors in speed and en-
durance over the Villa bandits.
Bandits to Resist Americans.
Evidence that Francisco Villa is
preparing to resist the American pur-
suing columns and that the Mexican
people are not as yet rallying to him
has been collected by the officers and
the scouts Of the American troops.
Flying columns of American cavalry
are seeking to entrap Pancho Villa
and his band by sealing up all the
trails and passes in the mountainous
district south of Ell Vale. Once the
outlets are barred squadrons of cav
airy and detachments of infantry, OPP
Grating from the base near Casas
Grandes, will comb the country and
endeavor to flush their quarry in the
open.
Villa and his band are moving rap
idly among the foothills of Sierra
Tarahumares, holly pursued by three
columns of American cavalry. Col
George E. Dodd is directing the caval-
ry movement.
This information confirms reports of
American travellers from the Casas
Grandes district that Villa had es-
capped through the lines of the Car
rama troops. Mexican Consul Garcia
does not believe the Carranza forces
permitted the bandit to escape.

FLOOD WATERS MENACE TOWN
STREAMS IN MICHIGAN AND OHIO
OUT OF BANKS.
Property Damage in Wolverine State
May Reach $1,000, o00-CoIumbu
Residents Uneasy.

Detroit, Mich, March 28.-Saginaw,
Genesee and Bay counties, pelted by
rain for nearly 48 hours, are flood cen
ters to storm-swept Michigan. Nearly
every stream in these counties is
either out of it's banks or at flood
stage. No estimate of total damage
to property, stock and merchandise
can be made at present The loss,
however, may be more than $1,000,000.
The only casualties reported were
in connection with the wreck Of the
Wolverine flyer on the Michigan Cen
trail railroad near Kalamazoo.
A half dozen families living in
houses close to the Flint river were
taken aboard police boats.
Flood Threatens Ohio Town.
Columbus, Ohio, March 20 = Less
than two feet of reinforced levees
here damned the rising waters of the
Scioto river and prevented flood
which earlier in the day had threat
ened to equal that of 1913 when SO
residents of the west side of Column
bus were drowned and hundreds Of
homes swept away.
Thousands of persons moved from
their homes to high ground. Chances
favored a passing of the foods crest
without break in the levees. Cessa-
ton of the downpour in the upper Sci
OTTO valley and the coming of slightly
colder weather quieted the anxiety
of the 10000 residents of lowlands in
this city.

Washington, March 28-With all
evidence indicating that the British
channel steamer Sussex, carrying
American citizens, was the victim of
a torpedo, it was stated authoritative
ly here that if a German submarine
made the attack the imperial govern
ment would disavow the act, punish
the submarine commander, offer re-
paration and satisfy the United
States that the act was in violation of
instructions.
Thus it seemed that the issue might
narrow down to the question Of wheth-
er the United States would be willing
to accept such a declaration from the
Berlin government.
Wilson Deeply Concerned.
President Wilson is awaiting with
deep concern the receipt of conclusive
evidence not only in regard to the
Sussex, aboard which several Ameri-
cans narrowly escaped death, but also
the sinking of the British steamship
in the latest official reports to have
been lost when the Englishman went
down.
Already it was intimated at the
state department, the United States
has in it's possession information suf-
ficient to warrant making an inquiry
of the German government as to
whether any of it's submarines fired a
torpedo at the Sussex or Englishman.
Awaits Complete Report.
The President, however, holds the
opinion that all the details available
should be at hand before definite ac-
ton of any kind is taken. He de-
scribed the situation to callers as be-
ing grave, but said no decisive step
would be taken pending the receipt
of the additional facts.
Official expression of the attitude Of
the administration was avoided, but
high officials made no attempt to
minimize the gravity Of the situation
which will confront the United States
if it is established conclusively that a
German sank the SUSSEX, an unarmed,
peaceful passenger carrying vessel,
in violation Of the rights of human
ity, the principles of international law
and solemn assurances regarding the
conduct of submarine warfare, which
have been given to the United States
by the Central European powers.
