TROOPS TO REACH VILLA DISTRICT BEFORE NIGHT [Continued I'rom First l'ngc.] as to what co-operation the American forces might expect from the Mexican authorities. It was suggested to him that the Carranza forces could render valuable aid in supplying guides, aid ing in the obtaining of forage and in similar directions "The Americans have guides of their own," he said, "who. I am sure, are as good as any we could give them. The soldiers of General Carranza are marching against Villa, the American soldiers are doing the same. That seems to me to be co-operation and it is all I have to say." Revolt Threatened Rumors of disaffection and revolt among the Carranza troops are plenti ful here as there are people to spread J them, but all reliable information is to j the effect that thus far at least the ( | first chief and his lieutenants have i | maintained strict order. Thex-e seems I no question that a considerable por tion of the Mex'can people bitterly re sent the presence of American troops in their country, but as far as is known they have shown their hostility by no overt act. The twelfth Mexican suspected of activities was arrested here last night i and placed in jail with the eleven j other former generals and "cabinet members" of Villa. Maneuvers of | Villa's friends In El Paso seem to be j mainly concerned with the dissemi- | nation of sensational reports reflecting j upon the supporters of Carranza and ! intended to provoke ill feeling between I them and the Americans. War Department Refuses to Make Public Dispatches Received From Mexico By Associated Press Washington, D. C., March 17. —The j eyes of administration officials centered I to-day on the desert plains of northern j Mexico where* Brigadier-General John [ J. Pershing is leading American troops! in pursuit of Francisco Villa and his j band of outlaws. The censorsntp surrounding the j movement of the expedition was so strict that up to an early hour to-day | not a single dispatch from the Ameri can columns had been made public by the War Department since the an nouncement of Wednesday night that they had crossed the international boundary line. A long code message from General Funston came to the department late lat night, but Secretary Baker declared that it contained no ne\vs of Impor tance and would not make it public. Unofficial advices from the border said that Villa and his men are far to I the south of the American forces. ! Army officials believe that it probably will take several days for the Ameri- ' can pursuers, aided by the Carranza I soldiers, to cross the desert and over- . take the bandits. They do not expect j a clash for several days. Official advices from diplomatic rep- | resentatives in Mexico reported con- I ditions as generally quiet. There were ] some signs of unrest in the Tampico district, however. Overnight dispatches received by i Acting Secretary Polk of the State De-1 partment and Secretary Baker were j ojtimistic. . The text, of none was made public but it was said by officials that j the Mexican situation seemed entirely ! satisfactory. President Wilson received the re- j ports before' the cabinet meetipg. The j administration believes the danger of active opposition by Carranza forces is growing less. Consul Silliman's dispatch from General Carranza's headquarters re viewed the favorable sentiment there.

Hill I'ar-Iteacliinc Representative Hay told tue House -1 the fact that the committee had reach- it ed a unanimous report on the bill In- ! I dlcated the feeling of the country on 11 the vital subject of preparedness. Thcli bill was far-reaching, he declared, and prepared in a sane and safe way, not going to extremes on either side. The only real opponents to its plans, he added, must come from "those who oppose any measure of preparedness at all." In fixing 110,000 men ns the strength of the army, he said, the committee had gone to what War De partment. officials bad testified was the limit of peace time recruitment. A force of 250,000 regulars would mean compulsory service, to which the country was opposed, and an annual expenditure of 5750,000,000 for the army alone. "Of course," Mr. Hay said, "If it camo to war, Congress would go to any extent." Applause greeted the statement. Representative Kahn interrupted to point, out that the bill provided for a. peace strength of 1 10,000 lighting inen, in the imminence of war the President could bring it up to more than 170,000 exclusive of auxiliary troops.
