PLANTATION that the materials have to be
imported from France and that they
are very expensive.
The truth stands that II we are to
pay France the prices she asks for her
new spring garments we shall put our
hands down into the bottom OF ouI
purses in doing so. She is evidently I'M
bued with the idea that we are all
quite able to do this under the present
spell of prosperity, and she. in the
meantime, is getting rid Of her stores
of high priced fabrics and reaping
good profit in the sale.
This fashion situation which has
arisen is not regarded with serenity
either by the dressmaker or the woman
who buys new clothes. The shops. how
ever. are gleeful: they know that the
buyer must spend three times as much
for material as formerly. The only fly
in the ointment there Is the fact that
a good many Of the evening gowns are
made of materials that are difficult to
get in this country; but this will not
hinder them in substituting American
fabrics as soon as II becomes impos-
sible to obtain the original ones.
The dressmakers Of the country have
reached their limit IN prices, 1t seems
to the buyer, and IL they are forced
much higher they will act as a boom
erang. They must pay the same rent
and wages: they must ask the same
prices for good gowns. and they must
spend a great deal moro money on the
material.

facts for the incoming season: Unusual

establishing friendly relations be- tween the army and the people of the state of Chihuahua. At any rate, it will be an event the like of which has not occurred here in the memory of the old-time inhabitants.
 On the long communication line it is sad nothing worse has been encount- cred than a little marauding by pro- fessionai bandits who have not fired shot a. any troops. One of the aero planes, which flew too far upon it's entry into Mexico, and which had to be left in tte hills for nearly two days, was visited by Mexicans supposed to be bandits. who robbed the machine o1 numerous appliances. but who did not offer to destroy or seriously damage the plane itself Some of the scien- tific instruments which they took could hardly be of value to the bandits, but seem to have been taken out of curi- csity. On two or three occasions wires of the constitutionalist telegraph lines have been cut so that on the face O. things, the marauding has been di. rected about equally against constitu. tionalist and American property.

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico (By aero plane to Columbus, N M.), March 27.- The first aero squadron of the United States army in a weeks service with Brigadier General John J. Pershing's expedition in Mexico has surmounted most of those encountered by Euro pean aviators.
 The work has been done thus far without really serious accident. One of the senior aviators said today that only in the Alps are the European fly CTS likely to encounter conditions paral- Telling those under which the American aviators now are working. The Mexi- can flying service has been a success sion of exciting incidents, each one met successfully by the quick wit of the aviatOrs.
 Never" said this aviator, have we had any flying as difficult as we have done here. We are under handicap of an altitude of about 5,20O feet when we rise. Some of the mountains we have tried to get over are approximate ly 5000 feet above sea level and none of our machines are powerful enough to carry a military load, the pilot, ob- server and sufficient fuel at such an altitude. We might get over one of the high mountains but we probably would

 Secretary Baker
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, March 27.-Failure of senate republicans to take any ac- tiOn at a conference today on the Mex ican situation left the administration unhampered in dealing with the prob lem.
 The conference was called to consider steps to force the dispatch of additional troops to the border for patrol duty In the face of official advices denying alarming reports, however, and of Gen. eral Funston's apparent confidence that emergency the republicans adjourned with some of their leaders agreeing to do nothing but support the administra- tion's plans at this time.
 Official advices confirmed press dis patches telling of the physical diff culties. encountered by General Fun ston in keeping a 200 mile supply line in operation without the use of rail- roads. While there is no shortage of food or other supplies for the troops at the front, cavalry mounts already are on short rations
 Steps to meet the situation have been taken by Secretary Baker, as there is no indication of an early agreement on the proposed protocol providing for the use of Mexican lines by American troops. Mr. Baker issued this state ment late today:
 "All information the department has from the border shows conditions to be quiet and the excitement of the last few days somewhat allayed. We have no dispatches indicating actual conflict between American soldiers and any forces of any kind in Mexico
 "The expedition is, of course, moving forward, and so lengthening the line of | communication. For that reason. Gen. eral Funston has requested and the de- partment has purchased two auto truck equipments, comprising 54 cars 1 in all. In addition to that, General Funston tells us that additional aero- planes will be of service, both in re- cOnnaissance work and in carrying messages from the advance column to the base at Columbus. Of the aero- planes already there, two have been destroyed. Others have need of re- placing parts. but two of them are in actual continuous service.

Villas Escape From Nami- quipa Follows Victory Over Part of de FactO Troops and No Opposition From Other Detachments NEW PHASE OF
 OPERATIONS BEGINS Reports From General Pershing Deal Only With Routine Matters and Do Not Reveal Positions of Punitive Expedition
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

[RepubIcan A. P. Leased Wirel
 SAN ANTONIO, Texas. March 27.- Francisco Villas escape from the region about Namiquipa followed his victory over part of the Mexican government troops and was unopposed by other de- tachments of the de facto government forces, according to unofficial but cred- ible reports reaching here today.
 The cordon of troops that the Mexi- can authorities announced should have been drawn across his path, gave way according to these reports with a will ingness that indicated their co-opera- tion with him rather than with the American forces
 Army men here were inclined to be- lieve reports of inefficiency and half hearted cooperation and today con- templated the probable future of the second phase. of operations just begun by the commander of the punitive ex- petition. Reports from General Per shing to General Funston dealt only with routine subjects principally those having to do with the transportation of supplies. The positions of troops ! were not revealed but it was known 1 that the cavalrymen were still riding hard along the trail left by Villa Off, ficers of the quartermaster's depart 1 ment studied the best methods of get ting provisions, especially supplies for the horses and mules. to the field army, while General Funston and his staff | anxiously studied the map, referring frequently to the scale of miles that showed the advanced cavalry columns I rapidly nearing points 300 miles away l from the border.
 It was realized here that the early capture of Villa would be little better ] than an accident. With their know | ledge of the country and with the as- l sistance they can obtain along their route, Villa and his followers, it is feared, will have no difficulty in keep ing ahead of the pursuing Americans. Their hope for an early ending of the chase is that Carranza troops will fin ally check Villas flight or that Villa himself after joining one or more of his wandering bands in Southern Chihua- hua or from Northern Durango, may decide to fight it out with the steadily advancing cavalry of the punitive force. 1 That Villa will be able to effect a juncture with considerable force be- fore he is brought to stand again is regarded at headquarters here as prob able. Canuto Reyes, one of his gener- als, who has been operating in the vii cinity of TOrreon, is known to have an exceedingly mobile force that is by no means negligible and in the state of
 Durango it is said the Arrieta Brothers are in position to move northward to
 his support.
 Unofficial observers have offered a
 theory, regarded as somewhat fancifu]
 by American military men. that Villa after joining these and others will con-
 tinue his movement to the south with
 the hope of gathering strength as he
 goes and with Zapata and other ene-
 mics of the Carranza government. at (Copfip,,o6 a,, Do <r- r,S,....

information concerning Villas flight, supplies, armament and strength to the American military authorities. While much of this information has been too indefinite to be of value. it is pre- sumed that the knowledge that the Americans are kept informed as to his movements has influenced the bandit chieftain to the greatest haste in his retreat.
 Although the United States troops are following closely in his wake, so far. it is said. no fighting has taken place.
