COLUMBUS LIKELY TO BE BASE

concentration of United States troops
for an expedition into Mexico to try to
capture Francisco Villa was begun
here today.
FROM the heavy troop movement to
Columbus, it would seem, according to
officers on station here. that this point

was believed here that John J. Per-
shing, briGadier general, commanding
the Sth Brigade, would be designated
to take charge of the expeditionary
force and would make Columbus his
Headquarters. The force of Gen. Pablo
Bertani, commanding the Carranza
garrison at Palomas. on the Mexican
side of the border south of here, was in
creased today by the arrival of 500
men. bringing his forces to a total of
1000. BY tonight tomorrow II is eX-
pected that the American garrison here
of l-1oo men will be augmented by the
arrival OF two regiments of infantry, a
signal company, hospital detachment
and some mountain artillery from Fort
Bliss at FL Paso and battery of the
9th Field Artillery from Nogales AriZ
Two sauadrons of the 18th Cavalry
from Fort Robinson, Neb., are ex-
pected later. All save the cavalry from
Fort Robinson, which is TO go on sta
ton here. are apparently TO be avail

nation received at headquarters here
also indicates that Lieut.. Col. b. C.

Nogales reported that a few cannon

the American troops were gathering no
signs of disquietng activity along the
Mexican side were reported. Reports

troops a few miles across the boundary
were fatty denied upon Investigate ton.
The army information was that 200 Car
rama troops had gathered at Palomas.
about twelve miles across the line from
Columbus. and that the conduct of these
troops exemplary.
These Palomas troops were part of
great ring which CarranZa officers at
Matamoros say they are drawing about
the desert and mountain refugees of Villa.
The northern sector of this ring appears
TO be gathering in a position to make it
rest between Villa and the assembling
American columns on the American side
of the border. Reliable information has
been received from American sources
that the western side of the ring has
been much strengthened. especially in
