VILLA GAINING

Activity of Bandit Chief
Perplexing Problem To
Commission.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Mexican
conditions revolving on the new as
tendance of Villa are commanding
more attention thany any time since
the border raids resulted in the dis
patch of the Pershing expedition.
Administration officials believed
tonight that the American-Mexican
commission cannot be expected to ar
rive at satisfactory solution until
the situation in Chihuahua City are
clarified.
Any agreement for the early with
crawal of Pershing's force is consid-
cred out of the question. Moreover,
if the present situation persists,
there is little likelihood that the mil
itary forces on the border will be re-
duced.
Although officials here have heard
nothing, on the border there was a
report that Villa has actually taken
Chihuahua City. War department ad-
vices declare that Villas camp fires
are in sight of the city and General
Trevino, although receiving rein
forcements, is short of ammunition,
Reports that Carranza, by his
movement to Querretaro, is getting
ready to leave Mexico, still persist
but the Mexican embassy today
branded the reports of instability OF
the defacto government as "flood
of misrepresentation that might be
expected from enemies" They said
Villa forces consisted of only few
hundred men.
