Bandit Chief Believed Headed

MORNING
FL Paso. Tex. March 2S.--Dispatch-
es from the front interpreted in con-
nection with news brought here by
Americans returning from different
points in the interior of Chihuahua,
caused a belief here tonight that Pan
cho villa was headed for San Andres,
about $50 miles southwest of Chihua-
hua City, a favorite headquarters of
the bandit. He is thought to be al
ready not less than fifty miles ahead
of his pursuers and possibly leading
the chase at a much greater distance.
There are several Americans at Ell
Paso who are not only thoroughly IA
rnliar with the country through which
villa is fleeing but who were also well
acquainted with the bandit chief in
former days. They are agreed that
Villas objective is the district around
Parral and south from there to Tor
reon, in which territory numerous
Vilista bands, under the leadership of
Canuto Reyes are operating with con-
siderable success.
Problem Becomes Difficult.
If Villa is able to effect a junction
with Reyes the problem of his exter-
nination will have become a very Sc
rious one, as he will then be able to
control several thousands of soldiers,
who, split into guerrilla bands, might
be able to keep up a desultory noun
tain warfare for an unlimited period.
The one hope at present is that the
American eavalrymen may be able to
catch up with villa before he gets much
farther south. It is admitted here
that the hope is very slender one
and will be much more attenuated if
the American troops are not given the
use of the Mexican railroads for the
bringing up Of war supplies
Question of Supplies.
The supplies question overshadows
everything else now. Army officers
here say that upon its solution de-
pends every chance of a successful
termination to the pursuit Of the ban
dit.
1t is not merely the fact that every
mile further that the columns of Cen
cral Pershing penetrate the country
stretches their line of communication
to the swapping point. but also be-
cause the punitive expedition is now
entering a very different tyne OF
country than that which they have al
ready traversed.
In the passes and dim trails of the
great continental divide over which
Villa is now fleeing motor transporta-
ton is practically impossible, accord
ing to men who know the country.
Nothing but pack mules and horses
can be used and even these must be
loaded lightly The establishment of
great base Of supplies and munitions
at the nearest point to these tortuous
mountain ranges is understood TO De

Easics, line to chihuahua.

1t was pointed out that supplies
routed through Chihuahua could be
delivered to the advanced troops now
with less loss Of time and that line
Of communication along that route
could be guarded with fewer troops
than one along the more circuitous
mountainous route Of the North
western.
If either railroad is used. 1t is prob
able that the troops now extending
from Columbus through Casas
t;randes to the positions Of the adj
vanced cavalry would be moved east

those who then would not be neces-
sary to guard the main line of COM
munication will he moved forward to

II is anticipated that in such case, how
ever. a vehement protest VIII be made
by Americans residing in the vicinity
of Casas Grandes who General Per-
ching reported, looked upon the Amer
ican soldiers as their ''rescuers."
Army officers have pointed out, how
ever. to hold any troops in these re-
gions merely for the purpose Of af-
fording Americans protection would
not be in accord with the Idea that
the expedition into Mexico is nothing
more than punitive.

San Antonio, Tex. March 2S,--Con
firmation that General Pershing al
ready has been using a portion Of the
Mexico Northwestern railroad for the
transportation of supplies was secured
by General Funston today from what
was said TO be an unofficial source.
This information included n report of
the overturning of two cars and the
injurng of ten troopers of the Tenth
cavalry and several horses. Three Of
the men were reported seriously in
jured,
The accident occurred while the
cars we're being taken over shoo-tly

bre tunnel south of Casas Grandes.
one of the rails gave way and the
ears rolled down an embankment.
No Report From Pershing.
No reports from General Pcrshing
We're received today, but his silence
caused no uneasiness at headquarters
where the chief concern continued to
be the problem of getting supplies into
Mexico without railroad.
Exactly where Colonel Dodd's cav
airy is now, or into how many detach-
ments it has been divided, was un-
known at General Funstons head
quarters today.
The exact whereabouts Of General
Pershing also remained unreported,
but this lack of information created
no uneasness, for General Pershng
still has orders to work out his own
problems.
Fear villa Ambuscadc.
Full realization Of the danger into
which some Of the advanced detach-
ments must be moving was acknowl-
edged. Villas known ability as di-
rector of ambuseades has aroused
frank expressions of fear among army
officers that he may catch some of
the American troops in mountain
trap.
Openly expressed pessimism as to
an early capture of Villa now is fire.
duently heard. Unless checked by
the forces Of the de facto govern
ment, or unless he himself decides 10
turn and fight, there appeared no
reason today why the chase should
cease until villa had led the Ameri-
cans through twisting mountain trails
and over waterless wastes for another
300 miles and more.
More auto trucks nave been asked
for by General Funston and when
they are placed in service, there Will
be O few more than 800 along the
different lines of communication
This increased number of auto
trucks will not solve the problem OF
distributing supplies to the advanced
troops. however, since a large part
Of the troops are operating far away
from trails over which the cars can
be run.
The shifting lines of the chase villa
is leading the Americans have made
more apparent the desirability OF get
ting permission to use the Juarez-
chihuahua line of the National rail-
wav as well as the Northwestern
railroad. but General Funston has
refrained from making any repre-
sentations on the subject, preferrlnS
not to project a possible embarrass-
ing feature in negotiations Tor the

uounced. 1t expressed the hope that
the dangers involved. at any rate the
dangers to neutral vessels, would be
reduced to minimum by the instruc-
lions which it had issued to- its suh-
marine commanders and assured the
government Of the United States that
II would take every possible precau-
ton. both TO respect the rights of
ueutrals and TO safeguard the lives of
uon-combatants.
What has actually happened In the
year which has since elapsed has
shown that those hopes we're not justi-
fed, those assurances unsusceptible of
being fulfilled. In pursuance of the
policy Of submarine warfare against
the commerce OF its adversaries. thus
announced and entered upon by the
imperial German government in spite
OF the solemn protest Of this govern
ment, the commanders of German IN
dersea vessels have attacked merchant
ships with greater and greater actiy-
ity, not only upon the high seas sur
rounding Great Britain and Ireland
but wherever they could encounter
them in a way that has grown more
and more ruthless, more and more in
discriminate as the months have gone
by less and less observant of re-
sraints Of any kind; and have deliy-
cred their attacks without compunc-
ton against vessels of every national
ity and bound upon every sort of err
rand.
Neutral Vessels Sunk,
Even vessels of neutral ownership
bound from neutral port to neutral
port have been destroyed along with
vessels OF belligerent ownership in
constantly increasing numbers. Some
times the merchantmen attacked have
been warned and summoned to sur
render before being fired on or torpe-
decd; sometimes passengers or crews
have been vOuchsafed the poor secur-
ity OF being allowed to take TO the
ships boats before she was sent to the
bottom. But again and again no warn
ing has been given; no escape even to
the ships boats allowed to those on
board. What this government foresaw
must happen has happened. Tragedy
has followed tragedy of the seas in
such fashion, with such attendant
circumstances as to make it grossly
evident that warfare Of such a sort,
II warfare it be, cannot be carried on
without the most palpable violation of
the dictates alike Of right and human
ity. Whatever the disposition and in
