AT THE FRONT. March 31. via

' 4. The strategy whereby after two
weeks of pursuit the Villa band, under
Genera; Eliseo Hernandez, was over-
taken by American troops and die
; periled, was revealed here today.
The plan was to send the American
column in 'a straight line, alon "the
string of the bow," while Villa was
s taking a longer route along the "arc
r of the bow."
Under these Instructions, the cavalry
- men, with Colonel George A. Dodd's
brigade always in the van. pushed
straight southward from the border
through the Santa Maria River Valley.
Villa, meanwhile, after passing Casas
Orandes and points south of there, had
twunpr eastward behind the ridge or
mountains.
The cavalry steadily nurrled south
''ward along the shorter line, trusting
, that Villa finally would try to turn
' ahead of them to his old haunts.
Itlde Made Without Food.
, On March 22 Colonel Dodd'a men were
v reduced, by the necessity of leaving
! patrols and by the illness of about 40
men, to a total advance guard of about
400. They had run completely out of
L provisions for the men and horses.
Nevertheless, instead of halting to
await food, they pushed on. For one
olid week they lived on their wits and
'their reserve strength and such scanty
food as they could pick up.
Tuesday Dodd's column started for
Guerrero, where Villa, with 500 men,
had captured the town.
The Americans made 55 miles In 17
hours' riding on a chilly night, which
cut to the bone of the men. who had
i discarded every piece of non-fighting
equipment except blankets and can
'tcens and mess kits. iome of them
even had thrown away their blankets.
A mistake in roads cost an hour.
nd it was not until after sunrise that
-the dust-brown abode huts of Guerrero
.came In sight.
Town Partly lOneompaascd.
Given a better guide and omitting
-the mistake in roads, which cost an
jliour. Colonel Dodd believes he could
'have boxed in and either captured or
annihilated the entire Villa outfit.
Colonel Dodd was able partly to en
compass the town and to enter por
tions of it before his troops were dls--covered.
" Reports reaching here say that Villa
- hud been in Guerrero all night and had
departed a short time before Colonel
Dodd's cavalry made its attack. At
nny rate, he was not present at the
', fight.
The Villistas began dashing out of
'the town on all sides, firing as they
rode. They divided into small groups.
Running horseback fights followed,
in which the American troopers per
formed desperate feats of bravery.
During five hours they rode hard on
the heels of the retreating Villistas.
The broad lane of the fight was dotted
here and there with the bodies of dead
and wounded Mexicans.
One body of Mexicans was caught
on top of a ridge by the Americans,
who shot down a dozen of them.
The fighting ended shortly after
' noon, when the last of the Villistas
made their escape into the mountains.

command took position near a ford on
the river at one edno of town. Owing
to a. guide's error, the squadron which
was to occupy the position across the
river was slow In arriving and the
Mexicans saw one squadron in front of
the town before they knew that there
was any command across the river. At
first the Villistas tried to ride out of
town toward the southwest, but the
cavalry in front of the city shot too
many of them to make this line of
escape feasible.
The main force then turned north
east, where the cavalry squadron which
had been delayed by poor guides was
not yet in sight on the pass in that direction.
The delayed squadron arrived in time
to catch this retreat in full swing and
to shoot down many horses and men.

Editor of the Wheeling Intelligencer.
WHEELING, W. Va., March 28. De
velopment of entlment among west
Virginia Republicans on the Presiden
tial question has been altogether fa
vorable to Senator Theodore Burton, of
Ohio. This is not surprising In view of
the very close business, social ana po
litical relations existing between tne
state of Ohio and the state of West Vir
ginia, particularly that portion or wesi
vircinia on the western slope of tne.
Alleghenles and In the Ohio Valley.
Senator Burton is practically a resi
dent of the Ohio VaHey. He has been
intimately connected with the move
ment for the improvement of the Ohio
River and is well and favoraDiy Known
to a very large number of West Vir
ginia Republicans. As matters now
stand ho will undoubtedly have the
support of the majority of tue. West
Virginia delegates to the National Re
publican Convention, and in all proba
bility will have a solid delegation.
Mr. Weeks, of Massacnusetts. nas
business relations with some Influen
tial Republicans In West Virginia, and
some sentiment has been developed for
him, but not of sufficient importance
to indicate that it will be a factor in
the National convention.
Hushes and Root Reacarded Hlntaly.
Justice Hughes Is generally regarded
by Weat Virginia Republicans as out of
the range of possibility, ana tne same
Is true, in a measure, of ex-Senator
Root. Both of them are regarded high
ly, but are not considered as likely to
be the nominees of the convention.
The Progressive party as a separate
organization has practically ceased to
exist in West Virginia. It will nave no
legal status and in all probability will
not have a ticket on tne oiiiciai oaiiou
A large majority of the more Important
Progressive leaders have already an
nounced their return to the Republican
tanks.
West Virginia is distinctly a protec
tive tariff state, and on that issue has
been for the past 16 years consistently
Republican. There is scarcely a doubt
that it will give a large Republican ma
jority this year. The short experience
of adverse conditions following tne
passage of the Underwood bill was a
tremendous educative influence, and
while the mines, mills and factories are
busy today, the majority of those in
terested in them have no illusions con
cerning the source of their prosperity.

the Americans to force all the fighting.
These were plainly some of the Vil
listas who participated in the Colum
bus raid and apparently they had no
heart left for another battle with
American, soldiers. The Guerrero River
divided some of the pursuers and the
bandits for a. time during the five
hours' running fight. Americans gal
loped for some distance along one bank
of the river, firing, as they rode, at
the bandits on the other side.
As the Villistas in small groups rode
up some of the immense, gradually
eloping sides of the foothills in the long
fight, they offered clear but tiny tar
gets for American forces strung out
along the line of pursuit.

Against the brown grass of the open
slopes men and horses were distinctly
visible for great distances until they
reached almost the vanishing point of
size. Some of the troopers had unusual
opportunity to test their marksmanship
at the extreme range of killing for an
Army rifle, about 3000 yards. At about
a mile a few of them made hits, but
most of the 30 known dead were shot
at a shorter range.
The number of Villistas wounded is
problematical, as the bandits are noted
for their hardihoodin recovering from

Pershing's Kallroad Problem.
i-JLi MSU, Tex.. April 1. The news
that the Villistas Had suffered a sec
ond defeat at the hands of the Amer
ican troops, this time at Aguas Calien-
tes, 30 miles northeast of Guerrero, was
received here tonight in a markedly
sooer manner compared with the ela

Colonel Eodd last Wednesday. Con

est in the actual pursuit of the bandit
dna nas diverted attention once more
to the railroad problem which, officers
here admit, is rapidly becoming acute.
mere is frank skepticism in Armv cir
cles over General Pershing's ability to
pusn mucn rartner into Mexico with
out the aid of the railroads. It is
pointed out that the number of men
required to guard the present 300 miles
or more of communication is out of
all proportion to the total number of
troops at General Pershing's disDosal.
Even if General Funston is able to get
tne remiorcements he has asked for.
the problem is still a serious one. Word
is awaited from Washington as to the
outcome of the negotiations pending
witn lieneral Carranza, and it is felt
tnat some solution must be found to
the situation without any great delay
Three Mexicans convicted as the
ring-leaders of a Villista plot to over
throw the garrison and take posses
sion of the town will be shot at dawn
tomorrow in Juarez. The others con
cerned in the plot, who number be
tween 50 and 60, will have a military
iriai later.
The men under sentence of death are

Is a Vilista colonel who enlisted as
private in the Carranza army to act as
a spy. Chavarria was formerly sec
retary to Pasqual Orozco. Both he and
Hernandez lived in Juarez as civilians.
It is stated that several concerned
in the affair are still- at large in El

gathered in. The three convicted were
arrested last Sunday the day named
tor the outbreak.
the West Virginia Democrats concern
ing the President and Mr. Bryan. Mr.
Bryan has many followers and admirers
In West Virginia, but they wi;l not sup
port him In opposition to the President.
Mr. Wilson will have the support of the
bulk of his party, and what votes he
loses will be lost on account of dis
satisfaction with the Administration
and his policy rather than on account
of the split with Bryan. A large ele
ment of the West Virginia Democracy
has never been particularly earnest or
enthusiastic about Bryan. That element
is in control at the present time.
Democracy in West Virginia, how
ever, does not this year seem to- have
the militancy that It had two years
ago and four years ago. Privately,
many influential Democrats admit that
there is not much chance for Demo
crats to carry West Virginia this year.
The fact that local offices and state of
fices are being sought only by a 11m
ited number of Democratic candidates
is possibly the best indication of their
feelings upon this subject.
