might become advisable to employ. AL
ready General Pershing is using many
Americans as scouts. They are men
said to be familiar with every trail and
waterhole in that part Of Mexico.
The work of the scouts, 1t was ex-
pected, would be supplemented by the
aviators. six of whom have arrived at
Casas Grandes. Lieutenant r. T..
Bowen who fell with his machine on
the flight from the border to Casas
Grandes, was only slightly injured.
according to an official report to Gem
eral Funston.
1t was stated late today at General
Funston's headquarters that no re-
port from General Pershing regarding
the operations against villa south OF
Casas Grandes, was received today.
Unofficial reports regarding villa s
fight with Carranza's forces at Cruces
and Namaquipa south Of Galeana,
were vague and contradictory.
Whether the American column Of
cavalry that was advancing south
ward on the trail leading to Cruces
encountered Villa was merely guess
at headquarters
Failure of the field wireless at
Casas Grandes was not regarded at
headquarters here as significant since
1t has been "in trouble" a large part
Of the time. Frequently there have
been long intervals when the oper-
ators were unable to reach the station
on the frontier and officers here to-
night were inclined to believe that
this interruption was due like the
others. to atmospheric conditions and
the weakness of the wireless set
Late tonight It was stated at Gen.
eral Funston's headquarters that he
had not yet received any message
from Pershing relative to the opera
tions beyond Casas Grandes.

last night by friends. who, alarmed at
his nonappearance at n Republican
convention, went to his home to in

His family was away on a visit and
Mr.. Litchfield was supposed to have
left Monday night to attend the state
Republican convention at Topeka,
Kan. He failed to appear at the con-
vention and 1t is supposed that an in

The supposition is that he died some
time Monday night from sudden
stroke cf heart trouble. He was sup
posed to be in splendid health and
was vigorous and strong business
man up to the time OF his death.
X. S. I.ltchfield has been identified
with the oil business in Kansas and

Lake Ba abicora towards which one
of his columns was reported yesterday
to be moving it almost two hundred
miles from the border and by the time
the columns directed towards Carmen
and Namaquipa arrive at their desti-
nations they also will be almost as
far south. South of Casas Grandes
the cavalry detachments that are fol-
lowing the trails into the heart of the
country where Villa is known to have
gone, are operating in triangle of
approximately three thousand square
miles area.
May Take Entire Army
The chase for villa has grown
larger than even military men who
had studied the situation carefully,
believed it would. 1t has assumed
the proportions of a campaign and 1t
vas pointed out that if it became nee
essary to extend the operations much
more it might be necessary to move
into the field almost all the remain
ing availa bic forces of the regular
army. That statement eliminates
some twenty thousand men now in the
southern department. the greater part
on duty in Texas. New Mexico and
Arizona along the Mexican border.
General Funston explained today that
he could not well spare any of those
for the operations in Mexico because
II was equally necessary to guard the
frontier. Scores Of demands for pro-
lection are being made at his head
quarters by farmers and committees
from towns along the Mexico-A Amer
lean border.
These petitioners have earnestly in
sisted that they feared raiders from
across the boundary line, many of
them Offering what appeared to them
as evidence that raids might be en-
pected. 1t has been impossible in al
most all cases to shift the forces in
order to give them special protection.
hut General Funston does not care to
remove the troops from their stations
that are within reach of the moro
populous centers along the frontier.
