"VlLLA, DEAD OR
ALIVE" INSTRUCTIONS
TO PUNITIVE ARMIES

Washington, March 11.-President
Wilson ordered American troops to
enter Mexico to take Francisco Villa,
"dead or alive" In reprlsaI for the
rebel chieftain's murderous raids on
Columbus, N. NJ, where sixteen Amer
teams were killed. At least 5000 Am
erlcan troops will cross the border
60 kill or capture Villa.
Intervention is still opposed by the
administration and the carranza gov
eminent will be dealt with unless Il
breaks off relations.
Mr.. Lansing, Secretary Of State,
prepared notification to General Car
rama Of the decision reached at the
Cabinet meeting. All members Of the
Cabinet agreed in the action ordered.
The government will consider the
action a punitive expedition and not
an Invasion, the sole purpose being
the killing or capture Of Villa.

Mrs. Wright said villa led nearly l..
800 men upon the sleeping American
town. at which were Quartored less
than 500 American troopers. She said
that some OF the men detailed to
guard her during the march north

5000 horses.

that many men and horses" she
added.

Wright continued. 1T was freely dis

Some or the latter told me that Villa
intended 70 kill every American they
could find, but they pointed to me as
an example CT their decision not to
harm women. Later. as we approach
ed the border from Boca Graude, these
same officers told me that Villa-his
rage growing as he neared the boun-
dry-would make torches OF everv

man in Columbus.

everybody in the United States and
would be helped by Japan and Ger

Concrete Road in Indiana.

miles of really good road in all the
construction is that often waste and
graft get together.
The association has been doing some
market figuring, and it finds that 450,-
600 miles of real highway, around the
centers of population, would reduce
the cost OF living as well as add to
the enjoyment of living. A system is
proposed whereby each of the states
could undertake the construction Of
500 or 600 miles of highway each year.
Thus in twelve years or so, with the
100000 miles of road already improved,
the nation would possess the nucleus
OF a fine market system. These roads,
radiating from the centers of consump-
ton, could easily be connected with
the trunk highways that are now being
constructed in all parts of the coun-
try, largely as a result of the activity
of motor clubs.
Concentration in Washington might
mean unity and coordination, but ii
would also mean increased appropria-
tions. The work belongs to the states.
1t was not, says the highway associa-
ton, until 1891, that the state of New
Jersey took the initiative, and three
years later established a department
OF public roads. Since then other
states have followed in form, but hard
ly in spirit. The association places IN
diana in the list of lazy common
wealths. For all the fine gravel roads
it possessed a few years ago, Indiana
can, apparently. no longer be regarded
as a leader in highway improvement.
If this is true, it is time that some
thing were done.-Indianapol News.
