WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Sharp
criticism of the Carranza forces en-
countered in Mexico was brought be-
fore the cabinet meeting today. Ii
was contained in the official reports
OF Gen. Pershing, commander Of the
punitive expedition. These reports
are withheld by the government be-
cause of the fear that TO make them
public at this time might seriously
embarrass the Mexican operations.
However, it is understood that Gen.
Pershing emphatically denied that at
any time the CarTanZa commanders
have cooperated with him in his
chase of Villa and that he also has
reason to believe that they have done
everything possible to embarrass the
movements of the African forces.
The cabinet canvasssd the entire
Mexican situation at length. The
question Of the recall of the Amer
lean expeditionary forces. it is un-
derstood will be held in allegiance
pending the Identification OF the
body supposed TO be that of villa
now being taken into Chihuahua
City.
The cabinet was in session for two
hours and FIVE minutes and it dis
cussed the Mexican situation thor
oughly 1t was made very plain after
the meeting that at present there
will be no change in the orders TO
get Villa" Various members OF the
ca binet indicated that they have not
accepted the reports that Villa is
dead as true.
Must Shorten Lines.
If the troops are kept in Mexico
either additional troops must he
sent to Gen. Funston or arrange
ments made for shortening his lines
Of communication. The main line,
which now reaches as far south as
Satevo. cannot be eX- ended with the
forces now on hand. There is no
reserve to draw on so that if regu-
lars are TO be utilized, the coast ar
tillery must be called on.
Reports of detection between the
American troops and the MeXicans
in the neigh borhood of Casas
Grandes were without official con-
firmation today. Officials expressed
the belief that if there had been any
trouble it was of little Importance
as il was not mentioned in any Of
the brief dispatches received from
Gen. Funston.
