Viii Chase Bandits
Beyond The Border
United States Troops to Pursue Villa and His Forces
Not Step to Intervention Sovereignty OF Republic
Not to Suffer at Hands of Americans

tary Baker at the war department.
Gen. Carranza, in a telegram to the
state department, expressed regret at
the Columbus massacre, but made no
comment on the proposal of sending
American troops to hunt down the
bandits. Eliseo Arrendondo, his am
bassador here, was officially inform
ed OF the American governments
action. He only replied that he would
communicate with his chief. He had
previously expressed his personal
opinion that tie movement would not
be opposed,
State department officials declined
to say what their attitude would be
if Gen. Carranza took hostile position.
They said the United States would
settle that question when it arose. If
an offer of cooperation of Carranza
troops is made, they said, it could
hardly be refused Today Gen. Car
rama ordered 5000 troops from vari-
Gus garrisons to move on the Villa
forces. The effect of their advance
probably would be to keep the Villa
bandits near the border, but Secre-
tary Lansing announced during the
day that no matter how far into Mexi-
co it was necessary for American
forces to penetrate, or to what num-
bers it became necessary to increase
their force, the United States would
consider the expedition punitive one,
solely for the suppression of outlaws.
For such an expedition there is am
pie precedent in international law and
in fact in the relations OF the United
States with Mexico.
How many of the $4,000 troops now
on the border will be employed has
not fully been determined. The gen
eral plan will be to distribute the in
fantry to guard the border towns,
while the cavalry will be released for
securing the mountains, deserts, sage
brush and arroyos. In order not TO
weaken the defenses o. border towns
it may be necessary to move other
troops from interior posts to the bor-
der.
No prospect of using the National
Guard exists in the situation tonight
but any larger scale of operations
might involve it.

Washington, March 10.-Amerlcan
troops were ordered across the Mexi-
can border today by President Wilson
to take Francisco Villa and his ban
dts dead or alive,
Under the direction, if not actually
the leadership, OF Gen. Funston, who
ended the PHILIPPINE insurrection by
taking Aguinaldo single handed, Amer
lean columns are expected to be NOV
ing into Mexico before tomorrow
night. They go to meet about 5000
guerilla troops in a mountainous re-
gion from which Carranza soldiers
have fed.
Whether this long deferred armed
action, which begins purely as a puni-
tive measure to clear northern Mexi-
co of menacing bandit bands over
which Gen. Carranza has no control,
shall grow into a general armed inter
vention or occupation in Mexico, de-
pends in large measure upon Gen
Carranza and the Mexican people.
1t begins with President Wilson's
declaration that it is entirely in aid
of the Carranza government and with
out thought of aggression. This state
ment, prepared by the president lim-
self, was given out at the White
House:
'fAn adequate force will be sent at
once in pursuit of Villa with the single
object of capturing him and putting
stop to his forays.
''This can be done and will be done
in entirely friendly aid of the constitut-
ed authorities in Mexico and with
scrupulous respect for the sovereign
ty of that republic"
President Wilson's decision to de-
part from the policy of watchful wait
ing, hastened by the Columbus massa-
ere yesterday, was announced today
after it had been unanimously ap-
proved by the cabinet and administra-.
ton leaders in congress. The presi-
dert's position was explained fully to
the latter. who agreed that he should
not be embarrassed at this time by
discussions of minority which might
arouse trouble in Mexico.
After a brief cabinet meeting, at
which the president was described as
being as determined to eliminate Villa
as he was to eliminate Huerta, Secre-
tary Baker hurried to the war depart
ment anAas his first act in office sent
orders to the border.
Soon afterwards the army general
staff assembled and conferred over
the plans, long drawn and perfected
since the Mexican situation loomed up
as disturber to the peace Of the
United States.
Gen. Funston telegraphed, urging
utmost secrecy as to the army's plans.
The border is honeycombed with Mex
lean spies and it was agreed that the
expedition would be pushed to sue
cess by keeping Villa and his men
ignorant of its movements. It is pos
sible that no correspondents will be
permitted to accompany the columns
At any rate strict censorship will be
imposed
