insurrection by taking Agninadlo
single-handed. Amerncan columns
are expected to be moving into
Mexico before tomorrow night. They
go to meet about 5000 guerrilla
troops in a mountainous region, from
which Carranza troops have fled. No
less than 5000 men, probably more,
will comprise the American expedi-
tion. Whether this iong-deferred
armed action, which begins purely as

ment, prepared by tn epresident,
himself, was given out at the White
House:
An adequate force will be.
sent at once in pursuit of villa,
with the single object OF cap-
turing him and putting . stop
to his forays.
This can be done, and will be
done, in entirely friendly and
aid of the constituted author
tiles in Mexico, and with scrupu-
lous respect for the sovereignty
of that republic.
President Wilson'S decision TO de-
part from the policy OF watchful
waiting. hastened by the Columbus
massacre yesterday. was announced
today after It had been unanimously
approved by the cabinet and admin
istration leaders In congress.

After a brief cabinet meeting, at which
the president was described as being de-
termlned TO eliminate villa as he was To
eliminate HuertR, Secretary Baker hur-
ried TO the War department and as his
first act In office sent orders to the bor-
der troops. Soon afterward the army
general staff assembled and conferred

dlsturber to the peace of the United
States
General Funston teIegraphed urging ut
most secrecy OF the army plans The
border is honeycombed with Mexican
spies. and It was agreed that the expldi-
tion will be pushed to success by keeping
