Reyes Marching Fast

WASHINGTON, March 20.--Unless

forty-eight hours the task of capturing
the bandit chief will be greatly COM
plicated.
Confidential advices reaching here
today say tns. General Canuto Reyes,
the Villista commander in the Tor
reon district, is moving northward with
between three and five thousand men,
planning to effect junction with the
Villista forces. Should he be sue
cessful Villa will be in position to give
battle to the American forces, as the
Reyes troops are veterans and are
we'll armed and equipped.
II is assured here that General Per-
shing knows of the Reyes movement
and that he will take every necessary
precaution to checkmate it. But to
do so will necessitate active co-opera-

tion by the Carranzista soldiers that
are operating from Chihuahua. and up
to the present they have failed to
shown any desire to assist the Ameri-
cans in any way.
Although on the surface the general
situation in Mexico seemed unchanged
today, officials plainly we're more ap-
prehensive. Every day that the Amer
ican forces remain in Mexico adds to
the uncertainty.
From many points along the border
appeals are being received by the war
department to strengthen the troops
on guard because of reported planned
raids by Villa sympathizers. Repre-
sentative Smith of Texas told Acting
Secretary of war Scott that Villistas
have completed plans to raid Presidio,
Tex, and that assistance was urgently
needed.

HELP CHECK RAIDS
ON BRITISH COAST

LONDON, March 2O.-The spectacu-

east coast on Sunday in which nine
persons were killed outright and
thirty-one wounded, has developed the
fact that the French war office has
sent a corps of experienced French
aviators to England to help protect
the coasts. One French machine was
engaged in the aerial battle which fol-
lowed the dropping of bombs at Rams
gate, where military hospital was
struck. Bombs dropped into Dover
