Another dispatch has him moving
southward from Guerrero into the
Parral district.
American troops, searching for the

combing tho hills and ravines. Gen
eral Pershing himself has gone to that
district and news of a clash is ex
' pected shortly.
Secretary of War Baker announced
that a force of Carranzistas under
Colonel Cano had assisted Colonel
Dodd in routing tho Villistas at Guer
rero "Wednesday. This disproves tho
reports of Cano's desortion to Villa.
APACHES NOW ON TRAIL
OF VILLA AND HIS BANDITS
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 3. Major
General Funston, believing Villa has es
caped the rlns of American and Car
ranzlsta troops reported to ltavo wur
rounded him, today laid plans to track
down the bandit with tho aid of Apach'3
scouts.
"It is my belief that Villa has slipped
his collar and crawled under the fence,"
was Funston'a comment. "Ho never has
been cornered "
At tho same time It was announced that
20 Apaches, who either rought with or
against Geronlmo In the famous campaign
against the Indian bandit, will go to thy
front early next week.
These Indians are considered by mili
tary men to be the best trailers In tho
world.
Tho American troops are believed to be
, wear Chihuahua City.
Funston's Information shows that roads
nouth of Casas Grandes are much 1m-
jiroved. Five high-powered touring cars
nro being used as couriers between El
Valle and the extreme front.
General Pershing, in a message to
Funston today, stated that General llel
tran, Villa's chief aide, had been located
near Bachlneva with 100 men. There has
' been no contact at Dachlnuva. Beltran
was seen in the Columbus raid also and
on the 'border trouble at 'Nogales.
General Pershing's messago was dated
last night and sent from Colonla Dublau
General Pershing's whereabouts were
kept secret by General Funston. All Villa's
men, with the exception of Beltran's men,
have broken up In small bands, the dis
patch states. Colonel Dodd'u cavalry has
also separated and are chasing the bandits
General Pershing "Stated that he was get
ting much misleading Information from
Carranzistas. Ho had no Idea now where
Villa Is. The country Is very poor, and
had been stripped bare of everything but
cattle; there was very little grazing and
corn was of poor quality.
Army trucks are now operating touth
fiom Namlqulpa. Their destination Is pot
disclosed, Namaquipa will be made the
Held base with a wireless station.
U, S, FORCES COMB HILLS
FOR VILLA AND HIS HANDS
KL PASO, April S. American forces,
spread out over the slopes and pastes
of 'the Continental Divide, were seeking
Villa today, combing every foot of ground
In a surrounded area northeast ' of the
Guerrero Railroad line.
From the fact that no details of the
hunt have been received since Friday, of
llcera here believe that Villa Is b'elng
run down and the situation Is bo acute
that there Is no time for reports. General
Pershing went Into the Guerrero district
to take personal command of the pursuit.

Carrnnza Consul Garcia stated that If
the United States troops took tho bandit
allvo, the Cairanza Goeriiuu'nt would not
claim hhn, ns tho American Government
probably would want to punish Villa for
tho Columbus raid.
If, however, tho Carranza holdlers cap

Its own hands for crimes committed prior

The Piano of
50,000
At no other time of the year does the home feel the absence of music
as much as Easter, when every church, every real home, every thought is
influenced by the sweet Easter anthems and melodies that bring us closer
to the real meaning of Easter.
The home that has no piano is empty; the real living is absent. Easter
as well as the balance of the year hoi da none of the powerful influence that
makes better men and women; that makes it possible for us to think the
real and the worthwhile thcujgkts; ,
You often feekjjfou could btlt-play the old-time melodies your mother
used to play, the carols you sat and listened to in rapture if you could but
play them with the same expression-r-and you can the old favorites, the old
songs you love so well, will all be born again.
make all this possible. The exp'ression jbontrol makes every thought, every
word, every emoftonsiblaAJn6ofeciously, you play as you have heard
others play, ancwoured nocknow a single note of music.
Our instruments have never been approached in value for the price
asked. EveryPiano is made in our own factory and then sold to the home
direct, the price being based on the cost of construction plus a legitimate
profit, but less the dealers' and jobbers' profits, which it is impossible to
evade when not purchasing from the manufacturer.
