which was brought to the American side
of the Rio Grande today.
During the day it became known at the
military headquarters at Camp Cotton on
the river bank and at Fort Bliss that the
grumbling of the Carranza garrison of
Juarez over the promised coming of the
'gringos" was approaching open mutiny.
Carranza officers who made attempts to
silence anti-American outbreaks heard
themselves called traitors by their own
men. The events of the last few days and
the reports of the extensive preparedness
Tor an effective invasion have been enough
to fan the gringo hate" to flames of open
opposition
With this condition existing United
States army officers consider it most prob
able that the incursion of column from
this port through Juarez will result in an
open battle. Carranza officials are doing
all in their power to prevent the spread of
the report that all control of their forces
will be gone once the Americans step
across the line
Villas audacity in making such bold
| attack on American soil and his escape
from the small mounted forces that pur-
sued him from Columbus has done much
! toward placing him back on his pedestal as
| the popular idol Of the poems and ignorant
1 class.
| The American invasion has given him
the argument that Carranza is an league
with the "gringoes" and the declaration
| that plans are on foot to place the States
of Chihuahua and Sonora under American
rule, after the example of Texas and Cali
i fornia.
| In all public statements since the Co
lumbus massacre Carranza has carefully
avoided reference to the American inva
sion, of which he has received both per.
sonal and official information Here in E
Paso it is taken for granted that the
''gringo hate so carefully cultivated in
strong that Carranza would lose all pres
tige if he recognized an invasion by the
despised men of the north, whether thai
, invasion was under the name of .<puni
tive expedition" or any other innocent
appearing phrase.

ELECTION DAY IN MAINE.
Heavy Snow Storm Keeps Voters
Away from the Polls.

PORTLAND, Me-, March Is. - A
snow storm kept many voters away
from the polls at the election held to-
day in five Maine cities. The contests
were at Augusta, Bangor, Belfast and
Biddeford. Biddeford Republicans were
making an effort to unseat the Demo
cratic government chosen last year
without contest. At Brewer Mayor

VILLA BECOMING
AN "IDOL" AGAIN
Carranza Soldiers, Near Mutiny, Talk
of Repelling 1.-THE Gringoes,'' and
May Be the First to Offer Resistance
to Americans.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. March "a
No movement of the expeditionary forces
that will search for Francisco Villa is
probable today, Major General Funston
announced today. He said preparations
Tor the expedition were going on despite
Carranza's notification to the Washington
government that he would not consent to
American troops entering Mexico unless
Carranza's S troops were allowed to enter
the United States
Gen, Funston said that the announce
ment of the expeditions actual start into
Mexico probably would come from Gen.
Pershing, to whom would be left the deci-
sion as to the exact hour for setting the
movement afoot
Shortage Of rolling stock, Gen Funston
said, was hindering the concentration Of
cavalry at the base Of operations and this
was one reason why a movement today
was unlikely. The fault, he said, lay with
railroads west Of Ell Paso.
I'VE have had to transport men in box
ears" he declared If this had been
merely an infantry expedition we could
have been into Mexico on Villas very
heels, but this is largely cavalry move
ment, and that is why there has been de-
lay
Light was thrown on the size of the ex-
peditionary force by the General who said ::
When this movement is completed there
viii be only six or eight regiments left in
the United States other than those troops
stationed along the border for patrol
duty

That there Is no doubt OF the pass

President Bizell went to Washing
ton TO confer with representatives Of
leading land grant colleges in the in
terests Of this bill and other legisla-
ton which has TO do with these col

national congress. President Bizzell
believes that the pomerane-Gard bill
will be a law by July Of this year.
This bill provides, among other
things. free uniforms for all cadets at

military training and a ration allow.

from federal funds $4,000 to he used

decided that this expense should be
borne by the state and county candi
dates. Just who're the authority
m from TO assess the state and
county candidates Tor this second sen.
atorial primary Is not shown. Be
sides. at that time there will be no
state and county candidates, the July
primary having eliminated all except
those who are the nominees Of the
party for the various offices. 1t Is
folly to talk about assessing these
nominees. as there is no law under
the sun by which the assessments
could be enforced. There might be
some ground for assessing the two
high men in the senatorial ace in
whose interest the second primary is
to be held. but u 10 doubtful II any
two OF them would be willing to shout
der the expense. II would swamp
them and cost far more than they
would ever get from the office, TO say
nothing OF the man who was defeated.
To the Eagle II looks like a muddle
that will ultimately have to be solved
by the courts.
