SAN ANTONIO. Texas. March go
After killing every one of the one
hundred and seventy-two men in the
garrison al Guerrero. Francisco villa
moved northward yesterday and now
u somewhere near the headwaters of
The Santa Maria river. according TO
unofficial information secured nv Cen
cral Funston tonight. At the head
of considerable force. villa was re-
ported TO be on the San Geronimo
ranch or the Quemada ranch. and
troops of both the United States and
Mexico are believed to be closing in
on him
IRIS information was regarded by
General Funston and his staff as prob
ably correct II correct. IL appeared
probable that very soon villa either
VIII have 10 face his pursuers in fight
or make another break through the
tightening line OF troops.
Whether his assault on the garrison
~ Guerrero WAS the same engagement
reported by General Ptrshing was not
known. but ~ was considered likely
ihe action reported by General Perish
ing occurred March p somewhere in
mat region. Details OF the engage.
ment were not reported.
General Pershing has been advised
OF the report a. TO Villas location and
II l. known that the disposition Of his
troops and that Of the Mexican govern
ment are such that villa cannot easily
escape without fight. American
troops are converging in columns from
me north and b. was indicated that a
part OF them had gone so far south
hat they would he able TO join with
the Carranza forces in preventing his
escape in that direction.
Other than that no supplies for the
troops In tho field had crossed into
IeNico from El Psso for shipment
over the Northwestern railroad. no
news concerning that development OF
ne situation was given out tonight.

Shipment of
Supplies Is
Perplexing g

Ell PASO. Texas. March SO.-The
problem of forwarding supplies to the
American base at Colonia Dublan by
way of the Mexico Northwestern
railroad has changed from the per
picking to the mysterious tonight
General George Bell. Jr.. apparently
on receipt OF instructions from Wash
ington similar to those sent to Gen
eral Funston, announced that he
could give no information to the press
regarding the situation and other Of
hcers and officials were equally un-
communicative
The one definite fact is that no sup
plies have been sent as no train has
left JuareZ In the last two DAYS. J.
u. Crockett vice president of the
Northwestern railroad. said tonight
that he knew of no arrangements for
sending out of train or OF supplies
but that he had a train ready any
time II was needed.
The most reliable information about
villa places him somewhere in the
Businesses OF the great continental di-
vide. many miles south OF Namiquipa
and heeing in an easterly direction
with Parral as his objective
As far as the actual pursuit OF villa
Is concerned. the absence for several
days Of any definite news has given
a new birth to the wild rumors and
fantastic stories which flooded ia
Paso up TO a week ago. The bandit
chief has been reported in almost
every place on the map and in a num-
ber that are utterly inconceivable.
Lieutenant Joseph W. Allison. Jr.,
who died here yesterday from penu-
monia contracted at the front. was
given military funeral preparatory

An attempt in Congress to kill the
annual free seeds distribution by
members of congress failed by vote
more than two to one. Human nature
works out some curious stunts. The
giving away Of garden seeds is silly
little bit Of extravaganza that costs
the country several thousand dollars a
year, The seed is mostly good and
worth having, but the selection is
poor and apparently made by girl
clerks who never heard Of latitude or
longitude and do not discriminate be-
tween the climatic conditions of Yer
mont and Texas. phe jokea OF the
whole situation is tie righteous hldig-
nation with which the seed distribut-
ion is opposed by certain big city con-
gressmen who are right up at the
trough in looting the treasury with
public building grabs and other graft
for the benefit Of the great centers OF
population, but seek to advertise their
virtue by fighting the trivial dole OF
garden seeds, The seed distribution
might well be stopped. but there are
whole lot Of bunghole leaks that
menace the treasury much more scri-
ousIy.
