INDIGESTION IN
MEXICAN AFFAIRS
In Spite of Denials of Carranza's
Officers, Villas Increasing
Strength is Evident
(Associated Pressl

Washington, Oct. 26.-Mexican
conditions, revolving on the new as
tendency of Villa, are commanding
more attention than at any time since
the border raids, which resulted in
the dispatch of Pershing's expedition
into Mexico.
Administration officials believe that
the American-Mexican commission
cannot be expected to arrive at a sat-
isfactory solution of the troubles un-
til the situation in Chihuahua is
clarified.
Any agreement for the early with
drawal of Pershing's troops is con-
sidered out of the question, and more
over, If the present situation persists
there is little likelihood that the mil
itary forces on the border will be re-
duced.
Although officials here have heard
nothing of the border report that vii
la had actually taken Chihuahua City.
war department advices declare that
Villas first camp is in sight of the
city. 1t is said that General Trevino
is receiving reinforcements, but he
is short of ammunition.
Reports that Carranza, by his
movement to Queretaro, is getting
ready to leave Mexico, still persist,
but the Mexican embassy here brand
ed the reports of instability of the de-
facto government as "misrepresenta-
tions that might be expected from en-
emies.0 They said the Villa forces
consisted Of but few hunderd men.
