Hope Of Settlement. -,
Hope Of reaching settlement toniUAa
was entertained by the. Commissioner
but this was based on the expressed
desire OF conferees to adjust matters
rather than on belief that their dif.
ferences actually could be reconciled.
The inability OF the conferees to
agree was first called to the Commits.
sioners' attention last night. when IN,
representatives OF both sides went te

Secretary Wilson was summoned tc
the District building conference which
lasted until midnight. but he was un.
ale to get the conferees to agree upor

The demands for 30 cents an hour
and that the companies arrange for
frequent sessions with officers OF Tn,

grievances which may arise from time
to time. are said to be the two dues

Intervention Looms
As Troops Hit Trail

with the American troops, as would he
the part Of wisdom from the Washing
ton viewpoint, the problem Will be COM
paratlvely simple though no easy one.
II is recalled that II took months 81
arduoua '1ork--extremely arduous WORK
to trail down Geronimo. And that "
considered a much less serious task
task than tho present one.
Officers Are Experienced.
1t IL of advantage in the present sit-
uation that many of the army officers
now in command along the border are
fully experienced In the sort of work
they will have. To say nothing OF much
hard work in the Philippines and else
where in the way OF actual experience,
some of the officers now on the border
were actually participants as young heu-
tenants In the campaigning against the
Apaches and in the capture OF Geroni-
mo in the 1908. Plenty Of the Officers
in Funston's command are thoroughly
familiar with border conditions. Ana
the work ahead is peculiarly the sort OF
work in which the american Sava,ryna aa
in which he has always proven himself
to have no superior.
In case the Government IL faced with
the Intervention problem. President WIZ
Congress. On the developments OF the
next several days, II is felt at the Capi-
toI much will depend. 1t is supposed
at the Capitol that Funston's men VIII
get speedily into action and follow the
trail hard, and that II will take little
time TO disclose whether Villa will be
able TO rally larger forces. or what the
real attitude of the Carranza forces
Will be.
Has Sanction Of Congress.
On the whole. Congress is disposed to
sanction the policy 10 get Villa" And
II is pointed out that II this policy
brings about n situation where interview
ton Is necessary, Congress then cannot
refuse to back up the Administration.
Senator Stone called n meeting OF the
Foreign Relations Committee Of the
Senate this morning. The purpose Is to
receive an explanation from the State
Department, probably In the form OF a
letter, OF the expedition against Villa.
This meeting was called suddenly. The
fact that such an explanation IL made
Is looked on as evidence that the Ad-
ministration realizes the possibilities in
PREVENTION may be necessary. and that
II wants the moral backing OF the Sem
ate leaders.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1916-03-11

Whether the orders TO Funston TO take
the hot ;rair' and get villa" are the
prelude to armed Intervention In Mexico
Is the question which looms up here
prominently today.
IL is the question which members or
Senate and House are asking each other
1t Is the big question which faces the
Administration.
While the President and his advisers
have no Intention OF armed intorven-
ton In Mexico. II Is fully realized hero
that once the American troops cross tho
border and attempt to round up Villa
there Is no telling what will eventuato.
In the first place. not many persons
outside army men and persons familiar
with border conditions understand the
difficulties Of the business OF capturing
Villa and killing of or effectively dis
persing the Mexican bandit forces.
Army men understand this In no pink
tea affair. Nor Is u q Job Of few days.
II means. In their opinion. probably
months OF campaigning over difficult
country. some half desert some of II
rough, wild, and mountainous, IN which
the advantages are with the bandits.
most OF them well-mounted and familiar
with the territory.
, II is not expected here that villa will
permit a general engagement. but that
he will choose 10 follow n guerrilla war;
fare, thus compelling the American
forces to separate and scour wide areas
Of country In small attachments.
II Is Up To CarranLa.
Uncertainty prevails here whether
Carranza will sanction the expedition or
will frown on It. II he objects to II.
there will obviously be put up TO this
Government the problem of whether to
20 ahead in spite OF Carranza. Out ~
such situation, Intervention, II II
thought, might develop.
But the situation is believed to be to
some extent out OF the hands of Car
rama TO control In other words. II Ia
deemed possible that Villa. once tho
Americans invade. will he able to rally
to his support large numbers of Mexican
fighters who are instinctively opposed
20 Americans. In that event, the prob
lem OF the American troops may sud-
denly loom up as one OF much greater
proportions than simply chasing down
and capturing or dispensing some nun
dreds Of raiders and bandits.
