El Peso, Texas, April 13. (U. P.)
Army officers at Columbus today be
, lleve the American expedition into
Mexico Is approaching a crisis.
Danger lies In the fact that there
t are more than 400 miles of communi
: cations to be protected and the trans-
portatlon facilities are inadequate,
i The" troops have gone hungry for days
and have suffered from lack of proper
clothing for high latitudes, but they
v . are not complaining.
The rainy season is due in about a
month, and the trails south of Colum
!; bus will be lmpasable. for weeks. Of-
f icers stated privately that the ex-
pedltion must ttfen have free use of
y Mexican railroads or withdraw.
J- The trouble caused by insufficient
equipment was due to the fact that
I it was never supposed the expedition
would penetrate 425 miles into a
strange country without using the
5 railroads. The recent commercial use
i of railroads sanctioned by the de facto
$, government has brought practically
3 no relief, it was declared.
For weeks Colonel Dodd's column has
had no salt for either men or animals..
' When a supply reached, them, the men
ate salt like children eat candy.
Another detachment went without
(, sugar and coffee for 10 days, and upon
? receiving a supply chewed the grains
ravenously. The advanced units final
s' ly ran so short of supplies that two
5 officers, with all available cash, were
f sent to Chihuahua City. They bought
n food there, paying exorbitant prices.

I Marshfield. Or., April 13. The city
ouncri of Myrtle Point has passed
ordinances for extensive street paving.
The new -work calls for the paving of
24 blocks of streets in that city and
the improvement of some others. The
j' city Is also planning' the construction
of a large swer system which will
u give service to most all of the resi
v dence district and which will be ade
quate for some years to come. The
plan originally was to drain the sewer
v Into the Coquille river but ranchers
below Myrtle Point threatened an in-
Junction on the grounds that they used
1 he river, water for domestic purposes.
The city has received from the state
" oard of health permission to drain the
V sewer into the river, so the plan for
, the system will be carried out.
El Paso. Texas, April 13. I. N. S.)
J. S. Whitley, an American mining
man. who arrived here yesterday from
Jalisco, said 15 Americans were
trapped at Clnco Minas, 100 miles
from Guadalajara, with two Villlsta
bands surrounding the camp, when
he left there 14 days ago.
The Americans are K. W. Oldfleld,
George Hoffman, W. A. Grasser, D.
H. Ross, R. Hayden, Albert Cohan,
Jack Frederickson, J. Leal, B. J.
French, L. F. . Fisher. Frank Malono.

Vlllistas made an attack on the
camp the night of March 7. They
were commanded by Miguel Aguilera,
formerly a surgeon with Villa, and
wer repulsed by the Carranzistas.
The Carranzistas lost ten men.
The Villistas fell back, but were
threatening to make another attack
when he escaped, Whitley said.

Beans Are Currency.
With the American Army in
Mexico. April 13. (TJ. P.) The
scarcity of "change" has made
the lowly bean legal tender in 4t
the soldiers' "indoor sports" of
poker, craps, blackjack and
kindred pastimes. The most t
common currency In the Ameri-
can army are the $3, $10 and
$20 bills. Even Mexican silver
In small denominations is rare.
The beans take the place of
chips and cash. The "banker" ijt
has a time squaring up after- Sf
ward. It behooves a player to
win in "even money" or he
stands to lose the fractional t
part of the dollar he acquired
in beans over the denomination
of the currency In the hands
of the banker.

With the American Army In Mexico,
Sunday, April 9. (By Courier to Co
lumbus. N. M.. April 13.) With
shallow arroyo as a tabernacle, the
star-sprinkled sky for a canopy and a
battered soapbox for an altar, several
hundred khaki-clad soldiers bared their
heads here tonight In the presence of
tneir uoa.
"Barbarous Mexico" for miles around
echoed to the resounding Anglo-Saxon
nymna or "Onward, Christian Soldiers,'
and "The Battle Hymn of the Reoub
He." A touch of modernism was added
in Billy Sunday's "Brighten the Corner
Where You Are."
The smug churchgoers In the
"states" might have stood aghast at
the absence of sectarian niceties In
the conduct of the services. The four
chaplains were cheered and aDDlauded
as each in turn clambered on to the
eoapbox rostrum to preach or lead the
singing. Cigarettes and pipes glowed
in the darkness. But all the polyglot
"congregation" was attentive and rev
erent. The chaplains met the men in the
same spirit. They preceded their ser
mons with amusing anecdotes and
personal observations that drew un
restrained laughter from their hear
ers. By Invitation of the chaplains
the sermons were interspersed with
what Father Joyce termed "vaude
ville numbers." These consisted of
solos and quartet selections by. the
favorite singers of each regiment.
The chaplains each talked straight
at the audience, omitting-all that sa
vored of creed yet obtaining the most
rapt attention by hij forceful presenta
tion of the Christian religion.
The service ended with the singing
of "America" while the slinking coy
ote hordes far outside of the rim of
the campflre light yelled a wlerd od
ligato.

block when a passenger noticed
the absence of the motorman,
ran to the controller and shut
off the current. Moland was
found lying unconscious with
concussion of the brain, where
he had fallen from his speeding

Francisco , Villa was said to be at
Guadalupe y Calvo last night.
His plan to proceeo immediately to
Durango City via Torreon was changed
at San Bernardino, a few miles north
of El Oro, on the Kazai river, early
Tuesday morning.
Couriers sent north from the Torreon
district by Canuto Reyes carried in
formation to Villa that the Arrleta
brothers would not Join forces with
him without first having a. thorough
understanding.
VUla Heads for Mountains.
With less than an hour's time lost
hi conference with the representatives
of Reyes, Villa and his men turned due
westward over the trail which crosses
the Chihuahua line at a small settle
ment known as St. Juiien.
Twenty-five miles west from this
point Is Guadalupe y Calvo, located In
one of the strongest natural, fortresses
in southwestern Chihuahua. It is a
high plateau, hidden among the moun
tain peaks and not more than two men
on horseback can pass along the ledges
at a time.
Villa and his men know this ren
dezvous of old and there. It Is believed,
they intend to remain until negotia
tions with the Durango leaders can be
completed.
