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.

Actual Work May Begin Within
the Next Few' Weeks
S. A. 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. It would
then be nece-silV to retire a IieW

l'AKIS. March Hi.- With a Mast
ing hurricane of shell fire, nnd furi
ous Infiintry fighting, the l.allle
near Verdun Is entering upon the
third nnd possibly final stage. The

talions against the French center hi

roar of artillery southeast of Ver

itneiiualled sacrifices to capture
Verdun. The French show no semb
lance of fear rcgurditiK the outcome.
Colonel ltousett declared that (ler
many has planned a mighty blow
against Verdun, nnd if France fails
to check this Iter loss will be Irre
parable. The first phase of the bot
tle disappointed the (lermans. It Is
believed. Tbev captured only the
advanced positions, which were first
blown lo pieces by lavish sbellintt.
The second phase was pi-cparntion.

heavy attacks on both wings and

French viewpoint, the caplnre of
Verdun would be a follow victorv.
