Dickman Not Notified

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 24.-Gen-
eral Dickman, commander of the South
ern Department, stated tonight he had
not received q report from Colonel
Langhorne, at Maria, regarding the
withdrawal of the American punitive
expedition into Mexico. He added, how
ever, that the disposition of the troops
now in Mexico was in the hands of
Colonel Langhorne.
1t was learned at Southern Depart
ment headquarters that a request of
General Pruneda, Carranza commander
for aviators to scout for bandits in
the vicinity of Palomas had not been
granted. The reason, it was stated,
was that American troops went into
Mexico for the purpose of capturing or
discriminating the bandits who held
Lieutenants Davis and Peterson for
ransom.
According to information obtained to-
night by army scouts it was stated
Francisco Villa is believed to be in the
vicinity of Parral, but Hipolito Villa,
brother of the bandit leader, was re-
ported to be at San Pedro, where the
bandit Renteria was thought to have
gone. There are several Mexican towns

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-With-
drawal of the American punitive ex-
pedition from Mexico had been be-
ieved imminent in official circles at
the War Department throughout the
day, but Secretary Baker said tonight
he was without official information as
to tn return across .he border.
The orders received by General Dick
man from the department, it is known,
were SO explicit that instructions from
Washington were not needed to order
the withdrawal. Previous orders to
the border commander directed him to
organize force capable of being
moved swiftly to the scene of the
detention of Lieutenants Davis and
Peterson, to capture or destroy the
band and to "clean up" thoroughly the
section in which this and other iso-
lated groups of bandits have been
operating.
The decision to withdraw the ex-
pedlton, it was said officially, was
wholly q military one and was entire
ly outside the diplomatic questions
raised through fling of protest at the
State Department by Mexican Ambas-
sador Bonillas
New-York tribune., 1919-08-25


surrender the territory in question to
China.
Fifth. If this treaty be amended, as
proposed in the matter Of Shantung.
Japan is deprived of the privilege of
giving to China, as the fruits of her
victory, the victorious possession of
the rights held by Germany. BY this
course a proud and high spirited people
would be affronted and in the public
opinion of Japan opposition would be
aroused.
Eastern Crisis Feared
"Then would arise most serious
situation. Japan would refuse to com
plete her membership in the league of
nations by refusing to ratify the treaty
signed by her commissioners at Ver-
sailles, and would deal with China as
one nation with another. In this event
Japan inevitably would impose more
severe conditions, which China would
be powerless to resist. The only course
then open would be to use force against
Japan, and Japan would meet force
with force
"Nor does it lie with those who OBJ
ject to our interference in European
affairs to propose that we should 60 to
war to right differences between the
yellow races.
"All Japan asks in Shantung is
small piece of ground for residences
for her nationals, where they can live
under their own government and the
control of their own nation, a right
already enjoyed by the nationals of
other powers"
Some acrimonious debate over Shan
tung is expected in the Senate. SO far,
no use has been made on the Senate
floor of the admissions of Secretary
Lansing. Nor has the testimony of
Thomas F. Millard, DR.. John C. Fergu-
son or Professor E. T. Williams, all
experts on Far Eastern questions, been
used.
Folk to Champion Egypt
Tomorrow the committee opens
hearings of representatives of minor
nationalities. Joseph w. Folk, former
Governor Of Missouri, will appear first
He is expected to make a strong plea
to the effect that, in accepting Pres-
dent Wilson's fourteen points, and his
later four points, the Allies in general
and Great Britain in particular should
have given the Egyptians "self-deter-
mination." He will lay emphasis, it
was reported tonight, on the rights
Of small nations" and will use others

ciples in behalf of his clients.

the Mexicans
of porJor not,voJ


In the mean time it had been decided
to pay the ransom. and the crossing of
the border was delayed until the avia-
tors were safe on the American side.
In addition to last nights experience
with Carranza patrol, the United
States troops were in contact with
Mexican Federals last Tuesday, when
detachment of Americans under COM
mand of Captain Boudinot was forced
to pass Carranza column opposite
Indio.
When the Mexicans were sighted the
Americans took up advantageous posi-
tions, ready for eventualities. Captain
Boudinot informed the Carranza COM
mander he intended to go south. The
Carranza officer asked Boudinot for
his orders and the latter told him his
orders were to proceed. He continued
then without hindrance, the expedi-
tion reaching position fifty miles
south of the border.
Colonel Langhorne tonight said the
expedition was considered success
from military standpoint. He pointed
to the killing of five bandits and arrest
of six suspects by the Americans and
capture Of nine by Carranza troops at
Coyame.
The United States military expedi-
tion which to-day was ordered to
withdraw from Mexico penetrated
further south of the border line than
any expedition since the punitive ex-
pedition which was sent across the
border under General John J. Pershing
on March IS, 1916, in pursuit of Fran
cisco Villas bandits
