directions as to the conduct OF the
American troops along the border are
now expected from President Wilson.
People in State Of Fear.
tUnired Press Dispatch.l
Columbus, New Mexico, March TO-.
American civilians all along the
Mexican border from Nogales to Ell
Paso are reported to be in state
of fear on account of Villas raid on
Columbus and his threats of further
raids. The raid resulted in the kill
ing of about 100 Mexicans and six
teen American soldiers and civilians.
Word has been received here from
the Mexican town of Victoriano to
the effect that Villas forces have
been seen in that vicinity. 1t is re-
ported that fifty of the bandits had
been seen in the neighborhood of the
town of Hachita, New Mexico, and
news of raid on that town is eX-
pected at almost any hour.
What May Be Next Move.
Limited Press Dispatch.]
Washington, March 10.-It is be-
ieyed here, that the next move of
the United States government will
be to instruct the forces to pursue
and capture or destroy any bands of
Mexican raiders that enter the Unit
ed States, keeping up the pursuit far
into Mexico if need be. This, it is
thought, will be done with or with
out The cooperation of the CarranZa
government. General Funston has a
force of 10000 American troops along
the border. 1t is not thought that
this will mean an invasion of Mexico
or armed Intervention in Mexican at
fairs, but just the determination of
the bands of raiders that have been
robbing and numbering American cit
liens.
Villa Has About 1900 Men.
II is estimated that the force Of
villa all told numbers about 1900.
Colonel Slocum, who is in command at
Columbus, sent three troops into
Mexico in pursuit of the Mexican raid
ers. 1t is reported that the Mexi-
cans were reinforced, made a stand
and obliged the Americans to return
across the border.
1t is reported that a force of in
fantry is to be sent to Columbus to
guard that town, on account of the
threats that have been received from
Villa, that the raid would be repeat
ed. The infantry will release the
cavalry for more active duty in pa
trolling the border and pursuing the
outlaws. aIBe

favor of preparedness was declared
last evening by Henry D. Estabrook

publican nomination for president of

months on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts Nand elsewhere in the country.
The exceptions to rule were few, and
included a few individuals here and
there, who, like William ]. Bryan,
seemed afflicted with military pho

Associated Press Dispatch.1
Washington, March 10.-While
President Wilson and his cabinet
were deciding to send troops over the

congress. Senator McCumber and
Senator Fall. republicans, introduced
resolutions proposing armed action
in different ways. Both resolutions
were referred to the foreign relations
committee while Chairman Stone
counseled his colleagues to let the
executive departments of the govern
ment handle the situation. While the
senate was talking and some desul-
tory speeches were being made in the
house, the president acted and the
leaders were notified quickly by tele-
phone from the White House, and
they passed the word around. 1t
spread quickly but both the house and
senate received it as cody as the an
nouncement of the passage of rout-
inc bill. Democrats generally ex-
pressed the opinion that the presi-
dents action was wholly justified.

ing the action expressed qualification

Did Guns Refuse to Work.
limited Press Dispatch.1
Washington, March 10.-No single
incident has caused more excitement
among the federal officials here than
the report of American machine guns
refusing to work. Congressman and
senator's are in high nervous tension
over the report, and they are bent on
receiving reliable information as to
whether this is true or not. Chief OF
Staff Scott says he had no official
knowledge of such an incident, but
he would at once order an investiga-
ton and see whether there was any
truth in the report. He said the lat
est reports on the subject were to
the effect that the machine guns were
in excellent working order.

UNITED Press Dispatch.l
Washington, March 10.-"Hang Vii

sentative Leo Selbur of New Jersey
in the house of representatives to-
day in a fiery speech on the Columbus
raid. Representative James L. Stay
den of Texas also made an impas-
stoned address on the same topic.
Representatives Smith, Miller and
others declared for immediate action
on the part of the United States gov
eminent to hunt down and eXtermin-
ate the bandits. .s~-
Lind Cries "Interest"
UNITED Press Dispatch.1
Minneapolis, March 10.-Former
Congressman John Lind, in an inter-
view today, declared that it was his
form of belief that the raid of the
Villa bandits on the American tow,
of Columbus was deliberately inspir-
ed by interests on this side of the
border. He said there should be, a
neutral zone between the two coun-
tries, wherein the two governments
should have concurrent jurisdiction to
run down bandits and bring them to
justice.

The Cummins forces are anxious to

Associated Press Dispatch
Washington, March 9.-Major Cen
eral Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, has
received word from General Funston,
a message requesting permission
from President Wilson to pursue the
Mexican bandits right into Mexican
territory. General Funston declares
that as long as the Mexican bandits
are protected by the border line from
pursuit by the American troops, they
will continue their robbing and muir
dering raids, and laugh over them, as
quickly as they get back into their
own country He thinks the whole
border line should be patrolled from
Fort Bliss to Columbus, and the
American troops should have the
permission to keep up the pursuit I'M
til the Mexican raiders are killed or
captured, even though the fighting
should take place on Mexican ground.
General Pershing is quoted as saying
that he believes there will be no diff
ficulty in obtaining the consent of the
Carranza government to this course
of action and that no objection what
ever on the part of that government
will be interposed.

the very nature of things a navy
lacks the opportunities as well as the
incentive to foment rebellion. Where

He certainly did not limit the per

the state militia should be brought

to be done, of course. The first. duty

A Better Merchant Marine.
Permit me further to suggest that
there is no better auxiliary to a navy
than merchant marine, nor is there
any instrumentality that contributes
more to the glory and riches of a
country. l need not elaborate this
fact. for it seems to be conceded, ex-

when the American flag covered the
seven seas; and the ocean highways,
which cost nothing for repairs, were
as much ours as England's Now the

What Is a Weed?

The simplest definition of weed Is
"a plant out of place." and the unhl-
man scientist may be satisfied with
that disposition of the lovely mountain
laurel or the aristocratic rhOdodendrOl
when great specimens of either stand
in the way of road or a building. [
think / may construct my own defini
ton of a weed as, in the first place, d
plant of persistent and spreading
growth that is not sufficiently beauti5
full in foliage or flower to commend it
for it's own sake or as a plant at
tractive in itself that tends to possess
the land to the exclusion Of all else
Thus the OK eyed daisy is weed, even
though it is beautiful, because it
spreads persistently, SO that whole
fields on the careless farm wave with
its flowers, justifying the gibe Of Dr..
Bailey of Cornell, who said, when pass
ing such a display, ''That man is not
a farmer; he's a florist" This same
DR.. Bailey's definition of a weed as
"a plant not wanted" is simple and
true-J. Horace Mcfarland in Coun-
tryside Magazine.
