tackle the fast team which represents
the Albany association in the indoor

This time, however, the local lads
are in much better physical trim thar
they have ever been, and it is conf.

defenses northeast of Verdun, and
the nearest armored position to Dou..-
emont, which was reported as ruined
but not occupied by the Germans sew

The Wilson administration maintains
its previous position as opposing arm
ed Intervention in Mexico, but indi-
Gates Villa is regarded as endangering
the peace between the two nations. A
decision to maintain this position was
unanimously reached at this mornings
cabinet meeting, a full attendance be-
ing present. The pursuit of Villa, it
is announced has already been care
fully planned, and the campaign
against the bandit chieftain is expected
to be brief
Officials in every department of the
government here are pleased over the
turn of affairs in the Mexican situation,
Scenes at the White House, following
announcement of President Wilson's
determination to act were without par
allel since the fleet was ordered to
Vera Cruz, following Huerta refusal
to salute the American flag. That the
Wilson administration intends to act
firmly, and that it will push its deter
Imination to exterminate Mexican ban
hits, vigorously is generally believed,
and the ordering of troops into Mexico
has had a visible effect upon turbulent
members of congress. The president

SCENE FRIDAY Of
ATHLETIC FRAYS

The athletic events at the Y. NJ. G. A.
Friday night promise to be the best
yet held at the Americas association.
The boxing contests are sure to prove
interesting, because the men who will
take part in this pastime have been
working for quite awhile, preparing for
the mill and they have reached such
perfection that they have no trouble
holding their own with the best in the
state.
And the wrestlers, too, have been
primed for the fray tonight, and the
same perfection is shown in their art
as the boxers display. Besides these
two sports to be INDUCED in by the 10 Z.
cal athletes, indoor pastimes will be an
other feature Altogether the people
OF Americus have a treat in store for
them at the Y. M. c. A., and record
breaking crowd should witness the
contests.

PARIS, March 10.-The French war
office today issued an official note cate
eorically denying the statement ema-

President Wilson today ordered Ameri-
can troops to cross the Mexican border
and either capture or kill all of the

leo, five and half miles within United
States territory. The order specifies
that Francisco villa, leader of the BAN
dts, and who has openly bOasted his
hostility to the United States, is to be
captured or destroyed.
Major General Hugh Scott, chief Of
staff, with headquarters in Washington,
transmitted the presidents order to
s~~Major General Frederick Funston. at
III PasO shortly before noon, detailing
the task to be performed by the expe-
ditiOnary force, the component units Of
which are to be selected by Gen. Fun
stOn. The initial force to be sent into
Mexico, Gen. Scott announced, will
consist of five thousand trained sold
iers of the United States regular army,
all of whom are already available, and
stationed at strategic points along the
border. The expedition, probably, vii
consist largely Of cavalry, but light
field batteries are to be taken along
and infantry may also be included.
At the White house this afternoon it
was stated the presidents order to send
an expeditionary force into northern
Mexico does not mean that armed in
tervention in that troubled country is
u be undertaken by the United States
a. this time. Rather the expedition is
to be undertaken rather as punitive
measure to deal with the lawless
forces over whom the Carranza gov
ernment is unable to exercise proper
control
The White House statement, handed
to press representatives by Secretary
Tumulty this afternoon, says "an ade
quAte force is to be sent a; once in
pursuit of Francisco Villa and his ban
dits with the single object of captur"
ing or exterminating these outlaws and
putting stop to such forays into
United States territory" This can be
done, it is asserted, and will be entire
~ friendly aid to the constituted Mex
lean authorities, with scrupulous re-
spect for that republics sovereignty
It is expressly indicated the United
States troops are being sent into Me
leo for the purposes above set forth
and with the accomplishment of thei,
purpose all troops sent across the Dor
der are to be withdrawn.
