KARASSING WITH SCATTERED BANDS
LIKELY TO BE VILLAS TACTICS

Washington, d. C.-The administra.
tion has announced that 1t has no in
tention of entering Mexico In force.
and therefore will merely send suffi
cient body of mobile troops to locate
and disperse or capture the band or
bands which attacked Columbus.
This. then. is the problem before the
war department. To bring this about.
two forces must be provided, one to go
after Villa and the other to guard the
| border. so that he or other Mexican
leaders may not raid 1t as was done at
Columbus. says Capt. Henry j. Reilly
in the Chicago Tribune.
If Villa keeps his forces concentrat-
ed and offers battle. the problem will
be much more simple than If he scat
ters his forces in small bands all over
the country If he keeps them concen
trated we will have to send force suf-
ficiently large to defeat him in battle
and to guard its own line OF communi
cation.
Provisions Important Factor.
If he scatters his troops IN small
bands all the principal points through
out the country in which he can oper-
ate will have to be occupied in order
that he may get no provisions from
any of the towns or principal ranches
nor water from any of the water holes
and be unable to use any Of the passes
across the Sierra Madres. while at the
same time bodies of troops sufficiently
large chase and destroy his various
Lands
The guarding of the border has been
difficult matter since 1911. when the
troops were first sent on this duty.
The frontier is 1.2OO miles long Ap-
proximately six hundred of this is an

which runs along the eastern half of
the border. there are many fords. In
other words. in general the border can
be crossed easily almost anywhere.
All along 1t are ranches. Here and
there along 1t are number of towns
Need Cavalry on Border.
We have never had enough troops to
afford complete protection to all these
towns and ranches The consequence
has been that in most vicinities the
number OF troops Is not sufficient to
prevent such an attack as was made

One Aero Squadron.
We have one aero squadron which.
If it can get over the country. probably
will be of great use in helping to locate
any considerable forces Villa may
keep together. We have no reserve of
men or horses to bring our regiments
to war strength or to make good cas-
ualties. Therefore. even If we start
with them at peace strength. we will
have to let the regiments used run
down In strength or else fill them up
with green men and green horses. The
greater the number of these the less
the efficiency, with the consequence
that as time goes on we will probably
need good many more men than
would have been the case had we at
the present time sufficient trained re-
servists to fill our regiments to war
strength and to make good casualties.
Will Resort to Guerrilla Warfare.

involve the United States as much as
possible in order to force Intervention,
the probabilities are that he will not

US in difficulties which can only be

Golden industrial school and inmates
of the Pueblo insane asylum involved
per capita expenditure of 1881, ac-
cording to figures prepared by Harry

show that 1861 children attended
the public schools last year. The total
cost to the state was sC.611 .SS1. Car

insane asylum cost the state $190,33g.
The keep of las prisoners in the state
reformatory necessitated the expendI-
trre of $49,559. At the penitentiary
$125.445 was spent in the care of
800 prisoners, while the cost to the

Too Scattered for Protection.
An attempt to give some protection
to all parts of the border has led to
dispersion of the troops to such an
extent that there are many compare
lively weak points. such as Columbus.
All villa or any other leader has to
do. is to determine by means OF spies
where they are. and then suddenly
attack them.
The only thing that saved the troops
at Columbus from being beaten by the
overwhelming numbers which Villa
brought against them is the great su
periority OF our regulars to any troops
which the Mexicans can bring against
them For the pursuit of Villa most
OF our cavalry undoubtedly will have
to be taken. This means that the pro.
lection of the border will have to be
primarily in the hands of the infantry.

For $35S,6O0 of the state funds the
counties will be compelled to spend
an equal amount; for $6G,300. half as
much; for s27,SO0, one-third, and for
$i20,6OO, one-fifth. The state will
spent $46,50O for road work on which
no assistance from the counties will
be required. The ratio of the re-
quirements of expenditures by each
county is determined by the import
ance of the road work to be done and
by the financial condition of the
county.
