N M . and the camp of the Thirteenth Tinted States Cavalry nearly a score of Ameri cans being killed in the sanguinan light ing and many buildings et on tire be fore the bandit chief and hi" followers were driven back across the internation j al border The were followed bj 2."0 j troopers of the 'thirteenth Cavalr.v and In the fighting that ensued on Mexican i territory at least sevrnt -five of the bandits were killed, the miss to the, American cavalr being iecn killed and bis wounded. Tershlng Sent to "(iet Villa" President Wilson ntul his cabinet acted promptlj, and u punitive cxpeili- ' tionwas at once organised, placed under the immediate command of Iliigadierl General John J. Pershing, who lurelj more, than a jcar later was to gain world celebritj us commander-ln-ihief of the American Arm in Krance, and who was ordered to "get Villa," dead i or alive. Caro was taken to impress the Car- ranza government with the fact that the Pershing expedition was purely puui- i tive and was in no waj designed to 10111 promlse or Infringe upon Mexican, sovereignty. j About 10.000 men comprised the Tershing force, made up principal! of Infantry, with perhaps 2000 ranlrj.j Many of these soldiers gained experiem e i in what proved a futile seanh for the, elusive Villa that stood them in good i stead when, in April of the following year, they answered the trump that en- , rolled them into the victorious Ameri- . can army that dealt the decisive blows ending the titanic conflict that (on- vulsed Europe. I While the Carranza Government made pretense of approving the action of the Washington administration to rid Me- , Ico nnd the border of the constant men- ' ace of Villa and his outlaws, the mask, 'was speedily cast aside. jVs Pershing and his gallant troops advanced farther into the tcrritor over wfilcn tne .Mexican president neiu im potent sway, and during the entire period of the hunt for the bandit diicf, in the numerous engagements that ' marked the arduous if unavailing pur suit, hostility, at first oocrt't, later truculent, ws displayed by the Mexican authorities. j On Juno 17, General Jacinto Trevino, commanding the Carranzu nrm of the north, advised General Pershing thnt ny movement of the American troops east, or west from the lines the occu pied at the time would be considered "a hostile act" and a signal to begin war fare. Despite this threat Pershing main tained his search for the fugitive out law, and on June IS, 1010. the very dnj following this insolent ultimatum fiom Chihuahua, President Wilson ordered the National Guard to the bolder. On June 21, in a fierce battle at Ciuriznl. in which Carranza troops confronted Pershing's forces, Captain Adair and Lieutenant Iiovd, of the American army, were, among the slain Withdraw Without "Getting Villa" A month later, during whnh tune several battles and skirmishes were fought nnd brilliant deeds of heroism performed b Pershing's men. the bnn dit Villa meanwhile safeh hiddin from his grim pursuers, but his outlaw arm thoroughly beaten and sratteml. the Washington government , after mm h tie gotiatlon, agreed to a Joint Minimis aion for the settlement of the disunities with Mexico. To be sure the avowed object ot the "punitive" expedition to "gel Villa" had not been achieved, but tor the time at least lie was regarded as in nocuous nnd there were persistent ie ports of his death The first fruits of the conferences of the joint commission were seen m the ordering of fourteen National (iuanl regiments home. That was n August 80 On November 111 a border proto.nl was signed by the joint commission and in Jonuarj. 1017.

(By A. P.) No news of the great French airplane Goliath, which left Mogador for Dakar on Saturday morning, has been received here, and theie is much anxiety over the possible fate of the machine. In view of the solitude of the regions oxer which the airplane flew, however, it is premature to conclude that the machine has been w recked. Naxnl divisions here and nt Dakar have been sent out with well manned ships, to scout the coast; but it will take several da.vs to complete the fconroh. Until then, hope will not be abandoned. The crew of the Goliath wns provided with food nnd water suffi cient for severnl da.vs, nnd while here, took on board arms nnd ammunition.
