Major General Funston that The pun

Tie south. The speed with which the
advance force was being pushed In
dicuted an average march Of about
thirty miles day.
What General PershinE intended

Mexican commander to allow him to
enter or to pass through Casas Gram
lies was not known at General Fun
stnn's headquarters, but 1t was not
regarded as probable that he would
make an issue of the point.
General Pershing. it was believed
here. would be content to remain be-
yond the city limits of the town un-
less the presence OF his troops with
in the town for the protection OF
Americans living there seemed advis-
able.
The last reports from General
Pershing revealed no clashes with
Mexlcans and did not indicate the
exact location of villa. 1t is believed
he Is in the mountains of the Galena
district and that he will continue his
shifting flight without offering formal
resistance. perhaps for many days.
Whether the American troops that
arrived Friday night at Casas Gran
des should enter the town or not is
for General Pershing to decide, Cen
eral Funston announced Saturday. I'm
less otherwise instructed by the war
department, General Funston Is dis
posed not to interfere with the details
of General Pershing's operations.
General Funston late today had not
received any official confirmation Of
the arrival ut Casas Grandes. of a part
OF the expeditionary force, but he
assumed the correctness Of the report.
General Pershlng's west column. un-
der Colonel Dodd, has Casas Grandes
as its immediate objective but its ar
rival last night was surprise to those
at headquarters. who had not believed
1t likely that the distance would be
covered SO quickly.
The main column. according to the
latest reports from General Pershing.
was continuing its march without in
terruption not far now from the adj
Sanced cavalry force.
Reports as to Villas location were
received today but all evidence OBJ
tanned by those reported to army head
quarters indicated that he still is I'M

it has been feared that he might make
swift movement eastward across
the state of chihuahua, and attempt
cutting of the lines of communication
maintained by the Mexican govern
ment forces.
