every protection, no matter what
happens" said General Francisco Con

arranged. Yet il worst comes to worst
we want to see ali Americans safely
across the border"
Newspapers in this vicinity have
published the notes exchanged by the
Carranzs and Wilson governments and
kilograms explaining the object OF the
punitive expedition, commenting cd
torially that they do not understand
why a breach of relations between the
two countries should be thought imrni-
nent.

Of FIVE columns Of l 200 men each who
are declared by General Gavira 70 be
closing in on Villa IN the Casas

Despite General Gavira's assurances.
there WAS plainly visible in Juarez to-
day feeling Of growing uneasiness
among American residents. Most Of
those who are IN business there arc
spending the nights IN I'll Paso. Ex-
pressions Of hostility by Mexicans have
thus far been confined entirely 10 the
civil population. Numerous instances
were reported where Americans. espe-
cially in the outlying sections, noticed
MeXicans splitting on the pavement as

this country.

situation received by Secretary Baker
during the afternoon dealt with the de-
parture OF the 18th Cavalry from Chat
tanooga to reinforce the border patrol.
News Bulletins To Be Brief.
Only meagre news bulletins from the
troops in Mexico are expected. While
four correspondents Of press sssoeis-
tions have been credentislled to accom-
pany General Pershing's command,
they will be under strict censorship.
Regulations Of the War Department
under which they were designated give
N commander absolute control over
the information they send back. Moth
ing that could be Of value 70 the en-
envy will be permitted 20 pass over
whatever line Of communication Cen
eral Pershing keeps open.
Such messages as are relayed VIII
be very brief. At most the expedition
will have only field radio sets TO Keep
in touch with the border, and official
reports will clog this means OF trans
hitting news. The American people
will probably hear Of the chase and OF
the battle with the bandits, II there IL
one. in terse official messages from
General Pershing and through the sift-
ing Of rumors that reach the American
side through Mexican sources.
The announcement of General Fun
ston that the chase was on disposed
Of rumors that we're particularly per
sistent throughout the day that a tenn
porary halt had been called 20 permit
the Carranzs troops 70 carry out tneir
own plans 20 capture Villa before
American soldiers took up the task.
At the State Department Il was said
positively that no request from Gen
eral Carranza FOR such delay had
been received. Neither had any rejoin-
der come TO the reply sent TO General
Carranza Monday accepting his propo-
sal for a reciprocal agreement on the
border.
Silence Taken for Concurrence.
Secretary Lansing's note clearly
stated the position Of the United states
that the agreement for pursuit OF ban
dts was in force with its acceptance
By the United States and covered the
expedition after Villa. The silence or
Carranza and official advices concerning
his attitude caused the state Depart
ment to take Il for granted that the de
facto government OF Mexico concurred
in that view.
Again to-day tho War Department
was swamped with kilograms and per
sonal callers offering volunteer ser
vices should the country need them.
Several members Of the National Guard
who called on Secretary Baker assured
him the men Of their states were ready
and eager for a call individuals also
wished 20 enroll
To all corners the Secretary ex-
pressed his qualification at the pa
triotic spirit shown, but added that the
regular army. recruited as IL soon
would be, would be fully able 20 cope
with the situation. Pressed as to pos
sible plans now under consideration
for future use OF the National Guard.

answer. con that subject ! have moth

In Juarez. said tonight that he had re-
ceived instructions from General Obre-
gon. Carranzas Minister OF War. 10
order all troops in his district TO CO.
operate in every way with the Ameri-

quiet on the surface, but Americans
met with insults In some parts OF the
town and there were evidences OF a
strong undercurrent Of hostility toward
them.
There are about 1000 troops In
Juarcz, and nearly all were confined 70
barracks to-day. They have been for
hidden by General Gavira 10 frequent
saloons. Nothing stronger than beer is
permitted 20 be sold in the town. In q
statement issued late to-day General
Gavira said:
"My soldiers are absolutely loyal and
there is no danger OF any outbreaks in
this section. ! have received reports
that Colonel Riojas has been murdered
by the troops at Ojinaga. and am try
ing to get in communication with that
town, but so far have failed There is
no reason whatever for any hostility
toward Americans on the part Of loyal
MeXicans, and have assurances that
all troops in my district will act in full
concord with the Americans who are
pursuing Villa. am in complete con

The stretch OF graveled road which

comment. The coating Of Tarvia which
