PERSHING REINFORCED DESPITE CARRANZA Onllmifd from Fan On to withdraw the expedition sent out to get Panchb Villa, troop movements today In dicated a strengthening of the forces, par ticularly the lines of communication to General Pershing. According to advices, a mile-long col umn of Infantry crossed tho border from Columbus, N. M., to reinforce the expedi tion. This Is the second detachment of new forces to go forward. Tho Sixth United States Cavalry passed through here early n the day, en routo to Cotumbus. Virtually, all the troops called to reinforce tho expedition In Mexi co are now moving. The new plan of operation, recom monded by Chief of Staff Scott and Gen eral Funston, Is believed already in op eration. Dispatches from Washington, following Scott's report of Saturday night, caused a sudden change of attltudo at, headquar ters. Scott abruptly decided to remain here. Instead of returning Immediately to Washington. Though neither of the army heads would discuss the expedition's next move. It was established that tho troops would remain In Mexico "for tho present." The plans for rcdlsposltlon of the Amer ican troops were partly explained by Gen eral Funston. Ho Bald that tho American soldiers would move farther northward, concentrate within n smaller area and then await developments. These may come from three sources: The negotiations with Secretary Lansing, the negotiations bo .tween General Scott and General Obregon and an attack on American troops by Car ranxlstaa or further border attacks by VII llstoa. Unless there Is an attack tho American troops will remain passive until further orders are received from Washington, More horses aro to bo Bent to General Pershing to replace tho animals worn out by the gruelling rides of the first month of the expedition. The supply situation also Is expected to be altered, though no intimation waa given as to whether Fun ston's recommendations have been adopted In their entirety. When operations aro re sumed, however, whether in tho actlvo chase for Villa or In dispersing his bands, the Americans will bo ready to act with Greater certainty and on u much larger scale. General Villa's approximate location Is known to General Pershing, according to Columbus advices', but the commander of the American expedition will not resume the pursuit until his communication lines are reinforced. General Funston also has received word that Villa had been definitely located, but refused to tell the whereabouts of the bandit leader. He Intimated, however, that the American troops would be In a position to round Villa up as soon as tho soldiers and, horses had recuperated. Funston nnnounced the recolpt of a detailed report, tho most thorough since the chase began, stating tiiat tho bandit leader was slightly wounded. "Villa Is as far south as any of the American troops," said the commander. He would not divulge tho exact location given in the dispatch. Pershing was also watching tho concen tration of Carranza troops at Chihuahua City In view of the expressed desire of the de facto Government for the expedition's withdrawal and of the hostility of the Mexican populace. CARRANZISTAS ATTACK U. S. TllOOrS AT SATEVO, IS REPORT EIJ PASO, Tex., April 24. Alarming re ports of open Carranzlata hostility toward the American troops In Mexico reached the border today. A rumor was brought from Juarez early this forenoon that a large force of Carranza troops attacked a small body of American soldiers near Satevo on Sunday, that In the battle which foUowed many were killed or Injured, in cluding a number of negro troopers.

Tho youngest scout In the party If 35 and the oldest Is about 75 rnd as anxious to go to the front as the young bucks. The Indians prefer to live rather npart from tho whlto soldiers, but are friendly, though hardly cnouzh so to fraternize with.

"These Apaches can trail nnythlng that goes on land, water or through tho air," declares General Pershing. Last night tho Indians, truo to custom wanted to "make medicine" before going to war.

SCOTT URGES NEW PLANS FOR MEXICAN EXPEDITION WASHINGTON. April 24. The hunt for Villa will be continued nlong now lines. At a White House conferenco yeserday President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker decided to accept General Funston's recommendation for a general change In the punitive expedition campaign. This recommendation was sent to Washington by General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, who has been In conference with General Funston at San Antonio. Because of the importance of the de velopments In the Mexican situation, President Wilson smashed a precedent he set when he entered the White House by transacting public business on Sunday. Secretary Baker took General Funston's report to the President Just before church time, and as a result of their conference he made this statement General Funston recommends a re disposition of tho, forces In Mexico for the purposes of recuperation and pending opportunity for further co operation with the force of the de facto Government of Mexico. His rec ommendation has been approved and its execution has been left to his- dis cretion. Before leaving the War Department Secretary Baker dictated this supplement al statement: The statement made Indicates noth ing whatever on the subject of the time for the withdrawal o( the Amei lean troops. The whole subject of their presence In Mexico Is under ar rangement and negotiations conducted by the State Department. There is no present Intention ot withdrawing the troops from Mexico. It became evident today that'll was the purpose of the Administration to go ahead with the expedition until its ob ject has been accomplished, either by the expedition Itself or through the capture or death of Villa, and that no suggestion had come from Major General Scott, Gen; trais funsion or i-troiiing suggesting- or favoring the withdrawing, At the same time it was virtually ad mitted at the War Department that the pursuit pf Villa beyond Parral had been temporarily halted. FORCES REJIAIN IN MEXICO TO 'SEE VILLA HUNT THROUGH WASHINGTON, April 24 The Ad ministration, satisfied that the American punitive expedition into Mexico cannot be recalled under existing circumstances, even though a break with Carranza shall re sult from keeping the troops there, today was concerning Itself with the problem of getting additional troops for border aery-tee. The 4000 Infantry Rnd cavalry still in northern posts are expected to e ordered south at once. This, however, will not furnish sufficient forces, and army officials' are debating whether It is best to call upon the coast artillery tor its epara men, sfgunized s infantry, ur to accept the picked coiumn of national guardsmen. 23TM1 KG- CSDO-BB PHIIiABMiX5HtA MXmfiAY, 'APftlU 24, who are besieging Ihe War Ccpartment for the opportunity to see service. An Important exchange of messages, is In progress between Becrctary Lansing nnd Consul General nddgers at Mexico City, dealing with the question of co oporatl6n, but all Information regarding what Is wanted Is withheld. There Is no doubt that tho Administration Is making ahother determined effort to get the de facto Government of Mexico, to seo things through Its glasses and to consent to the use of the Mexican railways to supply the American forces. It is also known that Consul General Rodgers ngaln has been Instructed to make It Main to General Carranza that If his forces get Villa 'han "ie American expedition will be withdrawn forthwith, but that It cannot be recalled while tho bandit Is nt large and ' presumably re cruiting a now and stronger band with which to attack Americans so Boon as their guard Is back beyond tho Mexican border. Carranza has demanded that tho United States reply to his note demanding tho withdrawal of American troops before ho will discuss nny other matter, but thero was a strong disposition In evidence In official quarters today to disregard this demand and to continue tho pressure to havo him meet tho American lewpolnt Although the regular Cabinet meeting scheduled for tomorrow wai called off because Proaldent Wilson has deckled to go to Princeton to vote, ho will get tho vlows of Secretaries Lansing nnd Baker on tho latest developments In tho Mcxlcnn situation before leaving nnd will nuthorlzo such action as thoy deem best.

COLONEL QUOTES OWN HOOK IN ATTACK ON PRESIDENT Roosevelt in Mngazinc Article Assails Wilson Policies NEW YOItK, April 21. Colonel Theo dore Hoosovelt writes on "Tho Policy ot Drift and Hanger" In tho June Metropoli tan. Ho quotes from his book, "America and the World War," published January IB, 1916, In which ho declared that "any Administration facing a dlfllcult and crit ical situation Is cntltlod to 'a free hand until It has tlmo to develop the action which it considers appropriate." The Colonel says ho followed this course as regards Mexico and tho great war. Ho says ho supported the President aH long as there was the remotest chanco thnt In standing by him ns President "I was also standing by tho honor and Interest of the country." Then. In October, 1910, after consulting tho Belgian commissioners to this country, Colonol Itoosevelt declares that 'he became convinced that to support tho President longer waB to bo "false to the honor and Interest of the United Stntcs." Colonel Itoosevelt continues: From that moment, 18 months ago, I spoke out with all tho emphasis thcro was In me, both ns regards tho Great War and ns regards Mexico I com mitted no , error, tn speaklng out, ,no error In any Btittement 1 havoi mado calling attention -tto1 tho President's dreadful failure tojfdo his duty to and by tho American people. If I committed nny error at all. It was because of the effort In good faith to support tho Presi dent regarding Moxlco and regarding Belgium longer than he was entitled to support nor do I regret such error, for I was determined to err. If at all, by standing-by him too long, rather than by not standing by him as long as thcro was the remotest chanco that his policy was grounded on right and was In the public Interest Tho most flagrant of our national derelictions from duty during tho last three years have been In their order: First. Our failure in pVeparcdness. Second. Our failure to protect tho lives and propertl of our own citizens on the high seas, in foreign countries and within our own limits. Third. Our failure to do our duty In Mexico. Fourth. Our failure to do our duty In Belgium. r As regards preparedness nlthough three years have elapsed since Mr. Wil son became President; nlthough 20 months have elapsed since tho cataclysm of the World War showed the Infinite folly nnd wickedness of not making ready and being ready to protect our selves not one thing has yet been done.
