been narrowly averted at San Boria.
The garrison was drawn up for a charge
and the Americans were formed to re-
pei them when Major Howe rode be-
tween the lines, waving his hat. The
expeditions mission was explained and
trouble avoided, Howe withdrawing
his troops. This occurred ten days ago.
Howe at one time was only 3S hours
behind Francisco villa He found an
abandoned cart, supposedly villa s lit

bandages. The column heard contradic-
tory stories that Villa was only slight

that he had been seriously wounded in

written for the United Press.)
New York, April 24.--The landing Of
Russian troops in France to participate
in the fighting along the western front
is probably an effort to support the
out and out conscriptionists in Eng
land
Russia cannot spare sufficient force
from her own battle fronts to cause aay
material change in the military sitna-
tion in France But even small body
of Slavs contributed to France must
exert powerful moral Influence i'll
Great Britain at time when the Br.
tish ministry is threatening to break
up over the question of impressing more
men for the French front.
Since the beginning of the Verdua
offensive the British have assisted the
French by taking over the western front
from Arras to the Somme. This has sc
leased probably 100000 French troops
for operations at Veruun, But there has
been no active aid extended to the
French by the British so far as known
The reason for this probably is that the
present number of trained British sol
diers under arms does not permit an
extension of the British front beyont
its present length. To contribute still
further to the allies military strength
in the western area, Great Britain must
have more men. The appearance of the
Russians in France emphasizes the di'
ficulties the British government is ex
periencing in keeping up its reserves.

Professionals oversold the market and

Administration Not Willing TO
Stop Pursuit at Carranza'S
Suggestion
nv Carl d. erOat

(United Press Staff COrrespondent)
Washington, April 24.-The question
of withdrawing American forces from
Mexico is far from settled today. The
announcement that the Americans will
be redistributed for the purpose of re-
euperatiOn, pending an opportunity for
further cooperation with de flctO gov
ernment troops, means that the expe-
dition widd remain south Of the border
longer than army men believed.
Withdrawal questions apparently rest
upon the negotiat ons between Seereta-
ry Lansing and Ambassador ArredendO,
which are likely to begin soon. Tne
administration is not disposed to order
a retirement solely on Carranza IS sug-
gestion.
The redistribution of American
forces is interpreted to mean that while
the administration wishes to avoid an
other Parral incident, it likewise de-
sires to be ready to meet any active
opposition.
Ambassador Arredendo has been
granted an interview with Secretary
Lansing at four p. m. today.
The redistribution of United States
troops at present contemplated consists
largely of recalling scattered bodies
from the arid, pastureless and foodless
regions of Mexico.
