IS PREPARING 11 Mexican Government Is Willing in Ending the Villa Banditry Capture of Villa a - Prime Object, Says Pres. Wilson ARMY WILL BE CONCENTRATED More Small Rdids Reported Ibis Homing Bui Bandits Were Driven Back Across the Border Senator Fall Becomes Hysterical and V.':nts a Half Million Army for the Invasion c' Mexico Washington, March 10. Eight thousand American soldiers will invade Mexico immediately for the purpose of capturing General Villa and extermining his followers, who raided Columbus, N. M. President Wilson issued the following statement this afternoon: "An adequate force will be sent to Mexico at once in pursuit of General Villa, 'with the single object of capturing him and putting a stop to his forays. This can and will be done entirely in a friend ly spirit, to aid the constituted ziKhcrities of Mexico, but with scrupulous respect for that republic's sovereignty." The President's declaration indicated that Provisional President Carranza had informed this Government of hi-j willingness to have the Americans co-operate in ending Villa's banditry. Secretary of War Baker refused to make a statement about the proposed plan of action. This expedition will consist chiefly of infantry, with 2000 cavalry, a detachment of field artillery, and severa: batteries of mountain guns ori mules. These guns are es pecially adapted for guerilla fighting. A flying column of 2000 men, mostly cavalry, will constitute the advance force to search out Villa and make tentative plans for the cam paign. These probably will concentrate near Columbus, N. M., within a day, from points both east and west. The iemainder will be hurried into Mexico until they have gene southward far enough to turn toward each other, thereby surrounding Villa. Senator Fall today introduced a resolution in the Sen ate, demanding that half a million invaders be sent into Mexico immediately. RAIDERS CONTINUE ACTIVE. Columbus, March 10. Villista raids over the border continued today. At several points the bandits invaded New Mexico, looted ranch houses, drove away cattle and horses, stole wagons and destroyed buildings. No mur ders have been reported. General Slocum reported that ell raiders had been cleared from American soil at noon. Large bands of Villistas are encamped close to the bound ary at many places. It is believed that General Villa has 4000 followers within a few miles of the boundary. Refugees'arriving here this afternoon asserted that Villista troops are again within eight miles of this city, and are preparing for another raid. It is reported that an American rancher several miles west of here was killed tills; morning and his ranch property destroyed. FRENCH LINER TORPEDOED. Paris, March 10. The trans-Atlantic liner Louisiane was torpedoed and sunk. The crew was saved, so the dis patches said. It is believed the vessel was in the service of the French Admiralty. RUSSIANS CONTINUE ADVANCE. Petrograd, March 10. The Turkish rnd Persian troops, with their German officers, are evacuating Ispahan before the Russian advance, so it was announced today. Tiflis dispatches said the Rusr ians are now within 30 miles of Trebizond. The bad weather still hampers operations. MINES SINK TWO WAR VESSELS. London, March 10. The British torpedo-boat de stroyer Coquette, and torpedo-boat No. 11, were sunk by mines, so it was officially announced. One officer and 21 men aboard the destroyer, and three officers and 20 men on the torpedo-boat perished. SUPPORTS THE INVASION. Washington. March 10. Washington stands squarely behind Colonel Slocum in sending his cavalrymen into Mexico in pursuit of Francisco Villa and his band of out laws who raided Columbus. N. M.. murdering .American soldiers and citizens and firing the town. Secretary Lan ' sing informed the de facto government of Mexico, through Eliseo Arredondo. its Ambassador here, that he trusted no objection would be made to the action of the American troops, they having followed what is known in military lircles as a "hot trail." No orders have been issued for the leturn of the soldiers, and it is not probable that they will be issued for the present. Shocked indignation occasioned ry news of Villa's .utrage was quickly succeeded by un disguised satisfact i that after three years of patient for bearance. United Si-tes troops were actually on Mexican soil to avenge the deaths of their comrades. 10 INVADE to Have Americans Co-operate ON THE BORDER BY TOMORROW SALMON DAY OBSERVED BY LOCAL HOSWRIES; KING OF FISH FOOD ) I.oral hotfls anil restaurants ob- HtTieil lilt IUIU111 .MU1UI1U1 t-illlllt'U salmon tlay by RorvinR the favorite fish in many Myles.

Kendall Believes Ifut the Railroad and Sawmill Can Be Completed by Ian. 1, 1917 -Material Ordered Reiterating tn every particular the statements made by him at the time of his last visit la Kosehur, S. A. Kendall, member of the firm of Ken d;. 11 I trot hers, of Pittsburg, and one of the men vitally interested in the early const ruction of the pro posed liosdiiiiK and Kastern Hall road, and the erection of a modern sawmill near this city, this morning stated he and his associates were ready and anxious to begin act mil work on the projects us soon as the city surrenders the contract ex ecuted here several months hko. .Mr. and M I'd. Kendall arrh eel in Rose hur fiom Portland this niorniiii; ami are beiim entertained at t he home of Mr. and Mrs. ('. L. Sdecmnn, in. Kast KoschurK. They expect to re main here until some time next week. '"We have been n arty to prosecute actual construction work on the pro posed railroad and sawmill since last August. " said Mr. Kendall w hen in terviewed at the (' m pn 14a Motel at noon today, "and the sooner we net lo work the better we will be satis fied. As I stated on my last trip to Koseburj.', our arrangements have be (ii completed for s era I niont hs. and we ;:re merely waiting for the city to fulfill its part ol the contrail. Wh' ii 1 say that we have completed ail our iuraniienieiits tor construct ing the raiPoad and sawmill. I nilulit xplain that our engineers have gone into t lie details rhoroimhly, and we are in a position to purchase t he necessary material without delay. So careful and painstaking have We been in our work that we know ex adlv how manv bnlt. spikes, rails, ties, and the character of the other nii't-'rial that will be necessary to complete the project. "As I understand th" locai situa tion, all the legal iieiions involved in 1 he proceeding presaging actual construction of the railroad and saw mill have been pass- i upon by the Supreme Court, with the exception of the contract whi-h is now under attack. This dedmn. I am In formed, imiv be bainbd down next Tuesday. In the event of a favor able decision, whhh I consider mor than likdy. I will imt'iediately go to PoitlanJ and arrange to purchase such tools and itnpl- nts as will lie necesarv to build the railroad. If these tools can b. h-mght without unnec essary I rouble, work on the railroad should bcL-m within a very few weeks after the decision of the Supreme Court is tor ; ucoining. Of course, I base this a Ttlon on the contemplated acton ' the council in serrenderi'ig th ntract to the builders of the prop mihoad and sawmill, as soon as M is received hen. Should the co-.'raet be h'-ld illegal, or should hut- es in its con struction be r ' omn led.
