Washington, Dec. l6.--lnformation
has reached the American govern

stration'' in northern Mexico with a
view to sascertaining what will be the
attitude of the American government
toward renewal of his operations.
Ofiicials of the state department
would not say whether there was any
information OF the nature of the pro-

dersto0d that Villa plans to attack
Chihuahua City or some other import

Government officials have informa

large part OF the following which he
had before General Pershing's eXpedi

1916, after Villas attack on Colum

Information here is that the gather
ing of the Villa forces already has
caused much apprehension among the
inhabitants of towns and ranches in
northern Mexico and the American
government is keeping close watch
on. the situation. There was no in
dication, however. as to what the at
titude of the government would b,
should Villa renew his operations il

GOVERNORS MEET
IN ANNAPOLIS
FOR CONFE ERENCE
Reconstruction Problems Are
Freely Discussed
SEC. BAKER WITH THEM
SEC. BAKER WITH THEM
Governors.Elect Clement OF Vermont
and Coolidge OF Massachusetts, Are
Attending Conference.

Annapolis, Md, Dec. l7-Thlrty-six
state governors or governors-elect, i'll
annual conference here yesterday,
were told by Secretary Baker that the
war had proved the indispensability OF
strong state governments in peace as
well as war times as the principal
agencies for mobilizing and demobiliz-
ing armies, finding work for returning
soldiers and developing better meth
ods of physical training for young
men. At the same time he pleaded
that state authorities give cities more
freedom to work out their individual
local problems.
Early disbandment OF the draft
boards and state branches of the coun-
ell of national defense as federal agen'
cies was advocated by the secretary
who urged, however, that both remain
| in existence informally to aid local
authorities in solving problems OF the
lreadjustment period.
| Secretary Houston, addressing the
governors, suggested that state gov
ernments ascertain Immediately what
! farming lands might be available for
use for returning soldiers. He eau
/ toned, however. against throwing
these men indiscriminately into agri-
cultural pursuits without previous ex.
perience or adequate training.
Reconstruction problems, particu-
larly those relating to labor, educa'
tion and public lands will be discus
sed by the governors at their meeting
today and at the closing sessions. To
morrow they will hear addresses by
Secretary Daniels and Lane. Last
night they attended reception at the
home of Gov Harrington of Maryland
Secretary Baker said his principal
purpose in addressing the state exec
utiyes was TO express thanks for the
remarkable manner in which state and
local authorities, through defense
fcouncils, draft boards and other of
ficials, had carried out the fedora
governments wishes throughout the
war, and had initiated measures o.
their own.
The war secretary emphasized tina
one OF the principal functions o
states hereafter must be ito rescu,
young men from the situation shOwl
during the recent mobilization, whel
, one-third of the drafted men wer'
found to be physically undeveloped o
, defective. We must realize" he said
that physical education is as neces
sary to the development of our youth
as mental training. A sound min,
must depend upon a sound body an
, we should organize educational sys
;. TENS providing for physical develoI
). ment"
/. Draft boards will be disbanded a
n the end of this month and stat
, branches of the council of nationa
s defense will cease functioning as fee
). eral agencies as soon as possible, Nj
, Baker said. He urged that both C,
l. operate with employment agencies
finding work for soldiers.
