VILLA SAFE

Bandit and His Gang for Present Out of Reach of U. S. Troops.

ElPaso, Tex, March 29.-Francisct Villa and his bandit gang apparent have escaped from the American fo t es and are now believed to be safe, fcs the present at least. in the Santa Ma ria Valley. The capture of Villa in the very near future is regarded highly improbable.H is now in the country of his friends, who are shielding his movements from General Pershing: scouts.
 Mith the certainty that the bandit hunt will be extended over an indef- mite period, other phases of the expe- dition into Mexico are claiming atten- tion. Chief of these is the problem of the transportation of supplies to the front. which is brought near solution by the granting of permission to use the Mexican Northwestern railway Preparations, are being made for the shipment of the first consignment of supplies tomorrow.
 reed Tor Horses FlrSC.
 Included in the first shipment will be large supply of gasoline and for age for the cavalry mounts. Nc short age of food for the men has been re- ported, but it is said the horses are of short rations.
 The limitations imposed by Genera. Carranza confining shipments to goods sent to concerns in Mexico who have contracts with the expeditionary force, caused some disappointment among army officers. It was feared that these restr ricions, coupled with the fact that military guards cannot ac- company the trains, might seriously hamper the transmission of adequate supplies.
 The Northwestern railroad, between here and Casas Grandes, is admitted. y ill bad sta.e of repair, and make the passage of the trains very slow. Dur- ing peace tines trains made the trip of 168 miles from Juarez to Casas Grandes in from eight to ten hours. It is beliey,d that at present from 22 to 25 hours will be required.

sixth century, together with land
stretching far TO the south. When
me MhgyaTs conquered the Kingdom
Of Great Morayia in 907, the Sloyaks
were a part of that country; the
Magyars displaced or assimilated the
southern Slovaks and have, with
brief Interruptions, ruled the rest
