bandits from making use Of them.
IL generally Is expected that the
American forces, which proDably VIII
number in the neighborhOod OF 1900
men. will by Monday be well on the
trail Of the bandits who raided Co
lumbus. One of the chief causes Of
delay has been the necessity OF replac-
ing with infantry the cavalry troops
which have been performing border
patrol duty. Movements Of troops have
been in progress ever since General
Funston received his orders TO catch
Villa, but their exact nature may not
be known for several days.
All excuse for interference with the
movements Of the United States troops
by Carranza, which might embroil the
United States i'm conflict with the rec
Ognized government, will be removed,
II was thought here. by the acceptance
Of the demand. made by the Constitu-
tionalist First Chief, that his forces
also should be allowed TO enter the
United States under the same circum-
stances "a General Funston's army Is
entering Mexico-that is, in pursuit Of
Villa bandits which might raid on this
side Of the border.
Note Is Viewed Favorably.
There was every indication that Of
fcials viewed General Carranza's re-
quest In a favorable light. Ii was sug-
gested, however, that such reciprocal
arrangement probably never would re-
suit in a single Carranza soldier enter

Plattsburg Military Camp
Graduates Ready to
Help Punish Villa.
MAYOR SURE MEN
WILL PROVE WORTH
Believes Country Made No Mis-
take in Educating a Few
Citizens.

Uncle Sans trifing investment OF
men and equipment in the Plattsburg
training camp for citizen soldiers Is
likely to bear big and unexpected divi-
dends in the near future. Should the
regular army find it necessary to call
for aid in furnishing Villa and his bor-
der bandits it will be found that the
student soldiers who withstood the rid
icule of less energetic civilians are not
only ready but equipped to furnish
that aid.
From Mayor John Purroy Mitchell
who won the title of lieutenant while
in training at the camp, down to the
last private. the Plattsburg graduates
are warming for a chance TO serve the
country and prove that their education
has developed them at least one grade
above the raw recruit stage.
These facts became known last night
soon after news reached New York that
members Of the Fort Sheridan training
camp. made up almost exclusively CT
Chicago business and professional men,
might produce a regiment for Mexican
service. When New York products of
the Plattsburg camp were told Of thu

an broken datachments TO the south

up. The story Of that exciting cam
paign would fiji scores Of pages. The
Indians were pursued and successfully
fought in several engagements. In the
mountains the Indians regained some
thing of their strength and. dividing
into guerilla bands. commenced a
series of vicious attacks on the exposed
settlements
Striking with such sudden force that
it was impossible to anticipate their
raids. they left literally crimson
trail. Still on their track toiled our
pursuing forces by relays with an en-
durance and pluck that | believe have
seldom been duplicated in any army.
The obstacles IN their path daily in
creased.
THE heat was so intense at times
that the men could not place their
hands on the metal parts Of their
rifles. Much Of the country had been
burned by the Indians as they ad-
vanced, and for several miles not a
shred of grass could be seen. The
water was so scarce that at few periods
during the pursuit could the soldiers
obtain n sufficient quantity.
unfortunately the plans OF advance
slightly miscarried. But although the
Indians escaped. some Of their ami
mails. camp equipage and a 'arge
amount Of provisions were captured.
With the fugitives still at large the
task Of the weary soldiers was not vet
accomplished, and again they pursued
on the track of the flying foe.

the presence OF American troops on
Mexican soil. The communication indl-
Gated that no objection would be raised
under such a reciprocal arrangement as
was suggested.
Officials of the State Department say
q reply probably will be sent to Car
rama on Monday, W hen the President;
will have returned from his weekend
trim on the Mayfower. The Carranza
note was sent to him by wireless to-
day.
Ready for Carranza Resistance.
The fears were realized by a note
from Carranza to-day notifying this
government that he would expect the
United States to reciprocate II he &C
auiesced in the expedition TO get
Villa" The State Department is averse
to entering into reciprocal agreement,
but. believing the danger of its being
invoked by Carrsnza to be small. has
virtually decided to accede to the de-
mand.
Preparations are going on at the
War Department with every possible
eventuality being taken into considera
ton. Despite General Carranza's note
which indicates he will cooperate with
the American forces, the General Staf
OF the army is not expecting any ma
terial aid from him and is even taking
generous account of the possibility OF
resistance from his troops. 1t is eN-
planned that Carranza may at any mo-
ment lose control Of the situation be-
cause of popular hostility toward
Americans.
The opinion among officials Is that
Carranza's note was written for popu-
lar consumption in Mexico. CarranZa
is realized to be in a difficult position,
as the Mexican people as u whole dis
trust the Americans and will undoubt-
eddy regard the expedition as an in
vasiOn OF their sovereignty.
The suggestion that Congress should
approve President Wilson's action In
ordering troops into Mexico is con-
tanned in a resolution introduced to-
day by Representative Luther w. Mott
Of New York, a Republican member OF
the Foreign Affairs Committee. Rep
rcsentative Mott said he believes the
people OF Mexico will be glad TO have
an official declaration that the armed
forces of the United States are pursu-
ing the Villa bandits in no spirit OF
hostility to Mexico and that there is
no purpose 70 make war upon Mexico

in his resolution some of the language
used at the time of the Vera Cruz ex
petition:

VILLA PROBLEM
SOLVED BEFORE;
Geronimo's Mountains
and Aguinaldo's Jungle
Failed Them at Last.

Were General Funston ordered into
the arid mountains Of chihuahua with
orders to catch a particular rattle
snake lurking there his Job could be
scarcely more difficult than the one he
has been set TO do-to catch Villa.
Somewhere within thousands OF
square miles Of waterless, sandy fast
nesses. in large part made up Of mes
quite covered deserts, broken up BY
uncharted mountain ravines, the bandit
and his followers are hiding. In small
groups those men can become almost
rs invisible among the rocks and gray
sands as the crawling reptiles OF the
desert, dressed as they are in the dust
soaked uniforms worn by the latter
demalion soldiers of Mexico.
Problem Has Two Parallels.
Funston will never catch Villa" il
the natural judgment that seems TO
spring from consideration OF these
and many other difficulties that oil
favor Villa and hamper Funston; yet
there are two Of the most famous capt
ures In the history Of guerrilla war
fare in which difficulties as great as
those in the present case were sur
mounted They form interesting par
allels to Funston's present job and
give some idea of the time IL may
take.
One of them was the capture by Cen
eral Funston himself Of the Philippine
rebel leader Agunaldo. Ii took him
two years to do il. The other was the
capture, in 1886, OF the Indian warrior
Geronimo by General Miles. after
others had failed, in the selfsame
mountain wilds into which Funston will
have to pursue Villa. Geronimo had
harassed the frontiers for forty years
before he was taken.
Funston solved the problem Of taking
Aguinaldo by a desperate ruse, on the
successful carrying out OF which in
every detail his own life depended for
many days.
Precedent for Mexican Cooperation
General Miles encompassed the cap
ture of Geronimo by a persistent cam.
paign, in which wit played part, but
not so great part as the hardihOod
of himself and men against the impedi-
ments Of nature. That American incur
sion into Mexico was mentioned by
Carrsnza yesterday as a precedent for
cooperation in the present case.
In his own story of the campaign
against Geronimo General Miles wrote.
