His purpose was to obtain any details

GOLD AND AMMUNITION
BURIED BY VILLAS MEN

Villa has 5000 men with him now,
according to the most authoritative re-
ports Ten thousand men, it is be-
lieved, will join him on the day the
American invasion is launched. Men
old in the wisdom of the border say
Villa will have from 10000 to 10000
men within a week after the hated
"gringo" sets foot in Mexico.
Tales come out of Mexico of gold,
silver, and ammunition that Villa has
buried that put to shame the stories
of Captain Kidd and the lost pirate
treasure of Cocos island.
Il should place the gold and silver
in bullion and money that Villa has
buried in northern Mexico at s5,000.-
O00," said one of the bandits former
lieutenants. The spots where this
treasure is buried are known to no
one on earth except Pancho Villa The
men who buried it for him were shot.
villa himself told me Of one cache
of treasure he made in the mountains
near Guerrero, which is popularity sup
required a pack train of six burros to
carry the sacks of money and gold and
silver bars to the spot where Villa
had decided to inter them.
six men dug the trench. After
their return to camp. Villa had them
arrested on charge of treason. They
met their death in front of line of
Mausers and took the secret of the
buried wealth into the other world
with them.
Villa told me this because I hap
pened to know one of the men and
asked about him. He was a good sol
der Villa answered, but had to kill
him.
villa also has buried millions Of
pounds Of ammunition and has sealed
the secret of the caches in tragedy. l
believe he has enough buried ammu-
milton at his disposal to carry on a
long campaign"

AS practically all Villas men are
mounted, to catch him mounted troops
will have to be used. This means cav
airy and field artillery. If he gets into
the Sierra Madres mountain artillery
only can be used. In this type of ar
tillery the guns are dismounted from
the carriages and all the parts and am
munition carried on pack mules.
One Aero Squadron.
We have one aero squadron which,
if it can get over the country, probably
will be of great use in helping to locate
any considerable forces Villa may
keep together. We have no reserve of
men or horses to bring our regiments
to war strength or to make good cas-
ualties. Therefore, even if we start
with them at peace strength, we will
have to let the regiments used run
down in strength or else fill them up
with green men and green horses. The
greater the number of these the less
the efficiency, with the consequence
that as time goes on we will probably
need a good many more men than
would have been the case had we at
the present time sufficient trained re-
servists to fill our regiments to war
strength and to make good casualties.
Will Resort to Guerrilla Warfare.
From Villas expressed intention to
involve the United States as much as
possible in order to force intervention.
the probabilities are that he will not
make any attempt to fight campaign
but will scatter his forces, in order
to give as much trouble as possible.

In hand to hand encounters with the
enemy the latter were found to pos

They were not firing. Then from an
overhanging porch across the street
came several shots, and one or two Of
the Villistas fell. The rest, twenty
or twenty-five in number, wheeled and
came back. Several of them spurred

HARASSING WITH SCATTERED BANDS
LIKELY TO BE- VILLAS TACTICS

Washington, D. C.-The administra-
tention of entering Mexico in force,
and therefore will merely send suffi-
cient body of mobile troops to locate
and dispense or capture the band or
bands which attacked Columbus.
This, then, is the problem before the
war department. To bring this about,
two forces must be provided, one to go
after Villa and the other to guard the
border, so that he or other Mexican
leaders may not raid it as was done at
Columbus, says Capt. Henry ]. Reilly
in the Chicago Tribune.
If Villa keeps his forces concentrate
ed and offers battle, the problem will
be much more simple than if he scat
tiers his forces in small bands all over
the country. If he keeps them concen-
trated we will have to send force suf-
ficiently large to defeat him in battle
and to guard its own line of commune
cation.
Provisions important Factor.
If he scatters his troops in small
bands all the principal points through
out the country in which he can oper-
ate will have to be occupied in order
that he may get no provisions from
any of the towns or principal ranches
nor water from any of the water holes
and be unable to use any Of the passes
across the Sierra Madres, while at the
same time bodies of troops sufficiently
large chase and destroy his various
bands
The guarding of the border has been
a difficult matter since 1911, when the
troops were first sent on this duty.
The frontier is 1900 miles long. APP
proximately six hundred of this is an
imaginary line. Along the Rio Grande,
which runs along the eastern half of
the border, there are many fords. In
other words, in general the border can
be crossed easily almost anywhere.
All along it are ranches. Here and
there along it are number of towns.
Need Cavalry on Border.
We have never had enough troops to
afford complete protection to all these
towns and ranches. The consequence
has been that in most vicinities the
number Of troops is not sufficient to
prevent such an attack as was made
at Columbus. Such attacks have been
foreseen for long time, but the war
department could not put more troops
along the frontier than it had avail
able 1t is a duty which should be
principally performed by cavalry be-
cause Of the distances to be covered
and because the enemy forces almost
invariably consist of mounted troops.
1t may be remarked that in spite of
this obvious lack of troops now evil
