SAN ANTONIO. Tex. July IL
Accounts OF increased numbers Of
bandits in northern Mexico south Of
the Big Bend district and repetition
OF reports Of Villas growing
strength were the outstanding fea-
lures in official and unofficial in
formation that reached Gen. Fun
ston Sunday. Under his direction
the strengthening OF the border pa
troll. especially in the Big Bend

vania troops Sunday had taken sta
tons along the Rio Grande south of

it will be sent TO the border line.
Gen. Pershing reported that from
Mexican sources he had been in
formed that among the recaptured
Carranza prisoners there were II
whose right ears had been cut off
by Villa men. Reports from che Big
Bend district were that at various
places not far south of the border
small groups of bandits were oper-
ating, although there was not any
evidence that they were planning an
early raid into American territory
To meet any emergency the med

preparation of 100000 It also was
announced that on July p a hos
pital train was expected TO leave
Washington for service between here

train will be run out of Brownsville.
Further evidence that the mules

planted in the American army was
contained in the announcement to-
day that the recently ordered 250

PINS FAITH IN
BATTLE CRUISER
Rear Admiral Knight Says Re-

of Avoidance Great.

WASHINGTON. July lin re-
Spouse to a request by Sec'y Daniels
for an opinion on what lessons might
be drawn for the naval expansion
program from the Jutland battle be-
tween the British and German fleets,
Rear Admiral knight of the naval
war college has replied that far from
discrediting the battle cruiser al
though vessels of that type bore the
brunt of the losses in the engage
ment. the fight added a new area to
the field of usefulness OF the fast
cruisers.
The battle has not changed the
admiraPs opinion that dreadnaughts
are and will continue TO be the back
bone Of any fighting fleet, but it has
caused him to recommend that if
congress decides To add only four
capital ships to the first line all
should be battle cruisers.
His other recommendations fol-
low:
IF the number is six, recommend
four battle cruisers and two dread
naughts.
If the NUMBER is eight I recon-
mend four battle cruisers and four
dreadnaughts.
IF the number Is ten, 1 reoom-
mend six battle cruisers and four
dreadnaughts."
The letter sums up the value of
the battle cruiser as follows
They are ideal. first, because the
very high speed enables them TO
search out an enemy force and get
information back with regard TO that
force and second, because if they
met an enemy force they have great

and great power of avoidance if tne
