U, 3. TROOPS MOBILIZING
RAPIDLY FOR EXPEDITION
(By International News Service.)
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, March 18,
Major General Funston received offi
clal reports to-day showing that his
orders to infantry, cavalry and artll-'
lery forces along the border were rap
-Idly being executed.
The first section of the aviation
‘squadron that will see service in Mex
ico left here to-day. It consisted of
eight machlnes,' 80 men and full
equipment,
The supplies necessary for a long
campaign in Mexico are now under
way, and General Funston expressed
himself as thoroughly satisfied with
the manner in which the American
troops were mobilizz.d. The delay in
ordering the advance into Mexico was
explained to-day as due to the fact
that General Funston wishes to make
American border towns safe from at
tack while he is pursuing Villa.
This precaution is necessary be
cause of the fear that Carranza, even
though desirous of aiding the Ameri
cans, will be unable to control his
forces along the border.
Major General Funston announced
to-day that Brigadier General John J.
Pershing, in command at Fort Bliss,
El Paso, will command the punitive
forces into Mexico.
Crosses, Is Report
EL PASO, TEXAS, March 13—
Martial law goes into effect along the
border between the United States and
Mexico to-day. American troops, en
trained under secret orders, are mov
ing along the frontier as fast as the
railroads can supply facilities. They
are ready for the wor? that will send
them on the red trail of Francisco
Villa and his outlaw horde.
Early to-day, in fact, a report
reached El Paso that the Seventh
Cavalry, stationed at Douglas, Ariz,
had crossed the line into the Sonora
district. The American military au
thorities refused to confirm this,
The round-up of Mexicans who
might be inimicai to American inter
ests is going on without cessation,
Three more former Villa generals—
Julio Fabela, Samuel Rodriguez and
Juan Rodroguez—have been taken
into custody here. At present more
than 60 Mexicans suspected of being
spies are under arrest,
The first stroke of the American
army may be one to save American
colonists trapped at Casas Grandes.
Official advices state that the tele
graph line between Juarez and Casas
Grandes has been cut. This is at
tributed to Villistas, who have been
reported as marching on Casas
Grandes with the avowed intention of
slaughtering all the 500 Mormons liv
ing there, ‘
While the American troops are ran
idly concentrating at the points as
signed them by Major General Frei-.
erick Funston, Carranza troops are
also active south of the Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas border. They ap
pear to be keeping to the line rather
than proceeding southward in DUFSUI(‘
of the Villa forces. This leads to the
belief here that the Carranzistas are
preparing for operations aga.inst!
American forces rather than aga.lnst‘
Villa. |
To Start Wednesday, Is Report. |
Brigadier General John J. Pershlng‘
was still at El Paso early to-day. As
he will lead the general advance of the‘
American troops, his movements were
closely watched to get an idea ofl
when the main American forces
would cross the border. Reliable re
ports are to the effect that General
Funston has set Wednesday as the
date for the rush across the line.
In some quarters it was repnrted‘
that General Funston was contem
plating some sudden action—some |
move as unexpected as when Vt'.hll
brought death and the torch to
American soil at Columbus,
A conference having a marked in
fluence on the methods to be followed
was arranged for this afternoon ba
tween General Pershing and General
Gavira, the Carranza commander at
Juarez. Gavira sent word early to-‘
day that he would come across the
Rio Grande and meet General Persh- |
ing at the office of Andreas Garcia, thol
Carranza Consul in El Paso. |
Senor Garcla, when he announced
that Gavira would come to El Paso,
said:
“We feel that it is the same situn
tion that obtained in the eighties. At
that time, you remember, American
troopers went into Mexico to capture
Geronimo and Victoria, the Apache
Indian chiefs. We look upon this as
the same sort of thing.”
However, from Columbus came the
report that 1,000 Carranzistas were
gathered near Las Palomas, a short
distance across the border from Co
lumbus, .
The temper of the Carranza fol
lowers at Las Palomas’ was doubt
ful. In the ranks of the Armerican
troops there is the report that Car
ranza soldlers fired on the Americans
who gave Villa chase after the Co
lumbus massacre,
The presence of the Carranza men
at La Palomas and the persistent ru
mors of Carranza enmity took on
fresh significance when it was learned
that the American troops were being
brought to points between Columbus
and Ei Paso.
All reports reaching here early to
day Indicated that the point of con
centration for American troops is
somewhers in the vicinity of Colum
bus. It was to this point that the
Fourth Fileld Artillery, which de
parted from Fort Bliss last night with
considerable secrecy, was sent. With
the Fourth were entrained three com
panies of the Twentleth Infantry and
machine gun squads, Another report
had Funston himself ready to go to
Columbus to take direct charge of the
campaign.
Refugees Insulted,
Columbus is near the head of an
old wagon trall that leads most A}
rectly to the Guerrero district, for
which Viila may head. From this
point an advancing column coula con
nect with another column advaneing
by rail from the vicinity of B! Paso.
Americans arriving in Juarez from
MARCH 1916.-
the Chihuahua district declare that
Carranza officer sopenly insulted
them.
“Why do you worry about getting
to Juarez?’ one of them is quoted as
saying. *“We will hang all you grin
gos before you reach the border, any
way.”
Some saw an important develop
ment in the report that Homan Mil
ler, the British diplomatic represen
tative in Juarez, had been forbidden
to send a code message to Captain
Harry Seebell, the British Vice Con
sul, in Chihuahua. r
Villa, meanwhile, was reported rap
idly approaching the vicinity of Casa.:
Grandes, vowing to wipe out the Mor
mons trapped thers. When he left
Columbus Villa left his boast that he
would massacre the Mormon follow
ers, whom he accuses of supporting
Carranza He cut off their desperate
attempt at escape by tearing up the
Mexican Northwestern Railroad
\ tracks near Coralitos.
Villa Returning, a Hero.
Villa is going back to his home
hills a hero to the people of that dis
trict. To them he is the man who de
fled the American army, who galloped
right into the midst of an American
camp, killed Americans and fought off
the soldiers sent to take him.
It was not surprising to hear that
Carranza soldiers in the Guerrero dis
trict were deserting and enlisting
with Villa. They feel sure that he
will lead them to victory. Before the
Columbus affair it was reported that
Villa had to force the men into action.
To-day, with the American troops
gathering, his forces are said to have
doubled with eager volunteers.
It is known that Villa has cannon.
One may hear that he is without am
munition, but in El Paso there are
sleek, silent men who offer no com
ment. They could tell if they would
that ammunition is being shipped to
the bandit leader.
El Paso is a war town, if ever there
was one. The coats of El Paso’s male
citizens bulge in unexpected places
and a coat thrown inadvertently more
times than not displays its own argu
ment of preparedness. Many men
from El Paso and the vicinity, old
plainsmen who know Mexico better
than a native, have offered their serv
ices as scouts to the military com
manders here. Provost guards from
Fort Bliss and special deputies patro}
the streets and keep an ever watchl.xi
eye on the known Villa agents.
Juarez Warlike, Too.
In Juarez, too, there is a military
aspect. Every other Mexican on the
streets carries at least two cartridge
belts slung about his middle. Car
ranza soldiers, toting rifles, are post
ed everywhere.
The International News Service
correspondent visited Juarez Sunday.
He found a good portion of the popu
lation sunning itself in the streets,
apparently regretting the Carranza
injunction against the bull fight, the
cock pit, gambling and the sale of
liquor stronger than beer.
One of the military officers was
found in a street, every bit of which
had its adobe fronts chipped and
drilled by the bullets of Juarez's in
numerable battles. From the door
ways and barred windows Mexican
eyes watched the progress of the cor
respondent’'s automobile, which was
heralded and flanked by countless
| dogs.
. At the headquarters the guard ex
‘plained that General Gavira was en-
Joying his siesta. General CGavira's
’headquarters was surrounded by a
group of youthful soldiers. In the
vardway two of them were curled up
in peaceful sleep in the sun. Another
had removed his shoes and was dip
' ping his feet in a drain trench in the
| yard. Had it not been for the brist
’ling cartridge belts and the rifles it
’ would have been quite a peaceful
| scene.

WASHINGTON, March 13.—The
’ European war is holding up the Amer

verge of activities which may require
the immediate shipment of huge
quantities of supplies to the border,

Travels in Style
Frank Reynolds, of Dalton, Rome
and Atlanta, motored over from Dal

saw the Eleventh Cavalry entrain for
the Mexican border.
“They travel in style, these sol
diers,” sald Mr. Reynolds, “There
were 48 Pullmans on the Fort Ogle
thorpe sidings, besides 40 or' more
stock cars and a bunch of cars for
baggage, wagons, munitions and cook

“The regiment was being loaded as

No Time for Ordinary Legislation,
l He Declares, Starting De
| bate on Mexico.
|
! ; ot
~ WASHINGTON, March 13.—A
‘warning that Central American re
publics look with uneasiness on the
American punitive expedition into
‘Meico was sounded in the Senate this
‘afternoon by Senator Borah, of Idaho.
Senator Borah advised the immediate
dropping of all legislation except that
pertaining to preparedness.
“We may have started a train of
events over which we will have no
control,” he declared. “The Central
American nations are interested, and
it can not be denied that every Cen
tral American country feels uneasy
when they see American authority RO~
ing into Mexico, no matter for what
purpose. This is no time to talk of
ordinary legislation. It is time that
| Congress votes a preparedness pro
gram that will say to all the world
‘that it is in accord with the Presi
dent.”
Borah's speech precipitated a vigor
ous debate over the Mexican situa
tion.
Senator Myers, of Montana, da
clared the United States had 100,600
men ready to go into Mexico.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee, challenged Myers’ statement and
declared such misinformation ought
not to go out to the people of the
country. “It lulls them into a feeling
of security which does not exist,” he
declared. “We have only about 30,000
regular troops scattered throughout
the United States, and only a little
more than half of them are available
for service in Mexico. ‘
“This is not going to be any child’s
play in Mexico. If we think we are
going in there and whip them in a forw
weeks, we are going to be sadly dis
appointed. There i{s good reason to
believe when American troops set font
on Mexican soil it will immediateiy
rally all Mexicans to one standard
against us and make the man who
leads the resistance a national hero.
Crranza has at last 50,000 or 60,000
well-rtained troops.”
Senator Smoot, of Utah, declared
Mexico has more fleld guns and more
ammunition than the United States.

Receivership Urged
Argument for and against perma
nent receivership for the Peachtree
Hurst subdivision of L. P. Bottenfield,
former extensive Atlanta real estate
dealer, but who now lives in Florida,
Monday was heard by Judge George
L. Bell, in Superior Court.
Appointment of a permanent re
ceiver was urged by Attorneys Nalley
& Scott, who several weeks ago ob
tained a temporary receivership in
behalf of holders of the Peachtree
Hurst lots. Dr. Willilam Owens has
been in charge of the subdivision since
that time as temporary receiver,
The proposed receivership was op
posed for Bottenfleld by Attorney Wil
lis M. Everett. Bottenfleld was not
present in court, but his attorney sub
mitted an answer to the receivership
suit, in which the former Atlantan
denied that he is insolvent, and de
clared that the Peachtree Hurst prop
erty will pay all of his indebtedness
and net-'a handsome surplus if it is
not “sacrificed.”

Surprised
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 13.—There
‘was unconcealed surprise in official
iand diplomatic circles to-day over
‘Secretary of State Lansing’s admis
sion that Ambassador Gerard is to re
turn soon from Berlin to the United
States. This surprise was occasioned
by the acuteness of the situation be
tween Germany and the United States
over the unsettled submarine issue.
It was known several weeks ago
that Mr. Gerard had been given per
'mission to leave his post. But at that
time the State Department announced
‘that the Lusitania case was “substan
tially settled.” Since then Germany
‘has promulgated her new submarine
‘order to sink without warning bellig
erent armed merchantmen and the
State Department has admitted that
the Lusitapia question is at a stand
still. Germany and the United States
at present are deadlocked over the
whole submarine question and fears
have been expressed that a severance
of diplomatic relations between the
two countries is inevitable. In these
circumstances, dipiomatic observers
declared to-day, Mr. Gerard’s place is
in Berlin unless he sis coming home
for good. As Colonel House, Presi
dent Wilson's personal envoy, has just
‘returned from Berlin, it was pointed
out that there was no necessity for
the President to receive further first
hand advice concerning feeling in
Berlin. i
When announcement was made
previously that Ambassador Gerard
had been granted leave of absence, it
was said, without contradiction, that
his mission to the United States was
concerned with home politics. {

“The Grand Jury should throw as
much safeguard about our citizens as
possible,” sald Judge Hill. “For when

never erased, even though he should
be exonerated by a jury when both
sides of the affair are heard. We

the most valuable thing in life, and

BARRAGKS AT PRESIDIC
MYSTERIOUSLY BURNED
(By International News Service.)
SAN FRANCISCO, h{)arch 13.—The
Presidio at Monterey burned to the
ground to-day, soon after the first
United States cavalry ‘left for the
Mexican border. Mystery attached to
the origin of the fire and to the fact
that firemen were hampered in their
fight against the flames by the lack of
water. The supply had been cut off
before the fire was discovered.
The large frame headquarters, con
taining the offices of the commanding
officer and subordinates, the postof
fice, telephone and telegraph offices,
was completely destroyed.
The fire broke out three hours after
the last detachment of troops had left
for the Mexican border and the one
officer and dozen enlisted men re
maining as a guard were helpless be
fore the progress of the flames.
The fire department of Monterey,
arriving in answer to a telephone
summons, found the water supply cut
off and the building, which cost about
$15,000, was destroyed bhefore the con
nection could be re-established. The
telaphone operator, who gave the
alarm, said the flames broke about 4
o’clock in the center of the building.
An investigation has been started, the
military and civil authorities co-oper
ating.
