CHlH UAHDA ClI1, NICK, hdy Ni. Strong constitutionalist columns have been despatched by General Ja- cinto Trevino, military commander of northern Mexico to surround Hacl- enda Afiembra about 125 miles from Jiminez. where General lgnacio Ra- mos recently reported Villa, with few followers. to be hiding. The troop movement today announced was sald to be in response to additional and confirmatory reports. Military au thorities here seem confindent that the bandit chieftain would be cap tured either dead or alive, within few days.
 Flying columns are also being pre- pared to pursue the Villista bandits between the American field bases and on the Hanks of the American eXpe- ditionary column. It is hoped that the flying comands will prove so eff fective that there will be no work for the American troops to do and that in the light of their resultant inac- tivity promp retirement will be re cognized as the logical necessity.

 Run 'Em to Earth.
 With these troops constantly on their heels is it expected that the scattered remnant of Villista bands wlli be run to earth quickly and that there will remain nothing for the U. g. Soldiers to do.
