have been beaten, as he was, but cap
tured or killed. and his whole force
dispersed.
Too Scattered for Protection.
An attempt to give some protection
to all parts of the border has led to
dispersion Of the troops to such an
extent that there are many compare
lively weak points. such as Columbus.
All villa or any other leader has to
do Is to determine by means Of spies
where they are. and then suddenly
attack them.
The only thing that saved the troops
at Columbus from being beaten by the
overwhelming numbers which villa
brought against them Is the great su.
periority of our regulars to any troops
which the Mexicans can bring against
them For the pursuit Of villa most
OF our cavalry undoubtedly will have
to be taken. This means that the pro-
lection Of the border will have to be
primarily in the hands Of the infantry,
who are hindered by their comparative
lack Of mobility and the large stretches
OF country they will have to protect.
Nature Of Land.
The state Of Chihuahua is immedi-
ately to the south Of that part of thu
border along which Villa has recently
operated. To It's west Is the state Of
Sonora. The two are separated by the
Sierra Madre. Chihuahua is about
three times the size OF the state of
New York. About four.fifths of II is
rolling plain at a height of from four
thousand to eight thousand feet above
sea level. In general 1t slopes down
hill from the south to the American
border. This plain Is covered with
brush and cacti Of all kinds. The veg.
citation is distinguished by its thorn
bearing capacity.
There is not great deal Of water.
and such as there Is 10 generally found
in water holes. called tanques. While
these. as rule. are Of considerab BILE
size. they are generally quite . dis
lance apart.
II villa keeps his force concentrated,
he may retreat practically due south.
which means q long stern chase, with
q steadily increasing line OF communi-
cations and more and more danger of
the mass Of the Mexican people be-
coming convinced that We are making
a real invasion instead Of merely help
ing the federal authorities to dispose
Of dangerous rebel.
On the other hand. he may cross the
Sierra Madres and raid some part OF
the Arizona border. or he may return
to the east and strike some part of
tho Texas border. II he goes due
south. the railroad OF course will be
available for a line of communications
II he goes toward the Sierra Madres,
the railway running to Minaca will
be available. II he goes in any other
direction. wagon trains and pack trains
will have to be used. Whatever the

to be guarded to prevent villa or any
