FOR WOUNDED MEN
 IN WAR ZONE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 28. - Wounded Americans brought back from France will be distributed in permanent hospitals located so as to bring each convalescent soldier with in reasonable distance of his home. The plans now being executed by Surgeon General Gorgas provide for a wide distribution of all the war hos pitals, including the reconstruction" hospitals at which men with more or less permanent injuries will be given treatment and instruction to fit them for an independent life.
 Figuring on the greatest possible casualties, for the ultimate army of two or more million men, Gorgas' plans will provide hospitals for l00,- 900 wounded.
 Some of the men that come back will be suffering from mental distur- bances, nervous from the stress of war. For these the plans include a hospital at the port of arrival with facilities for expert classification, nee essary because not a few will be in a convalescent stage. For these treat ment in an asylum for the insane may be unnecessary. There will be a gen eral hospital equipped with all nec- essary appliances.
 After the men recover they can be given work in the service suitable to them. For those so unfortunate as Co require prolonged care on account ot mental disturbances there will be suitable accommodations

VILLA'S.DAY ENDED
AS MEXICO FACTOR
Collapse Of Bandits Rule
Announced by State
Department
CARRANZA IN DDLE

WASHINGTON, March 2.--Pancho villa
has reached the end of his bloody trail
The dynasty of the famous outlaw in
bandit-infested Northern Mexico, which has
been crumbling for months. has at last col
lapsed, the State Department announced to
day
ON advices from Government agents on
the border and south Of the Rio Grande it,
self Secretary Of state Lansing said that
he was able to state that Villa no longer
could be considered a factor in Mexican
politics. The wound that has had him
crippled for months has SO weakened his
general physical condition that he cannot
take an active part in military and guer-
rila operations.
Thus closes, according to the Federal
nvestiga tors. the career of man who has
done more. sngle-ha nded, to irrtate the
United States than any other man in his
tory.
Pancho villa wrote two bloody chapters
in American history-the Columbus and
Santa Ysabe massacres-and personally
caused the greatest American military
movement since the civil War the Persh-
ing punitive expedition.
Colonel Murgu a, Carranzista commander,
is now In full control OF Chihuahua city
and the state. it was said.
