mmcni or mo united states wan put In
the position not of Justifying a retribu
tion already under way In response to
naKrant nutrugn but of organising- a now
expedition across the border.
It was said the Administration had
hoped that Col. Slocum ufter taking the
bit In his teeth and act ins without orders
would remain on the other side long-'
enough for reenforcements to be sent.
This. It was pointed out. would have
made unnecessary a becond notice to
Cnrranza.
At tho same time the President and
Ills advisers. It Is wild, realised that un
lcea Villa was completely crushed, his
army scattered and his ncrson cantured
it would only be a question of a few
daya or weeks beforo another raid would
be attempted.
Thereforo when tho decision was nn
ally reached no secret was made of the
fact that the President's sole purpose
man to get Villa himself, dead or nllve.
Tho possibility of leaving the task to
Carranzn Is believed to have been dis
cussed but abandoned us hopeless.
When tho General HtafT of the Army
jseinblcd in the office of Major-Gen.
Kcott, Chief of Staff, to draw up Infor
mation upon which the President could
finally act It had before It the following
recommendations from aen. Kunston:
To-night tho War Department Is In a

Ex-Secretary of War Garrison, who
returned to Washington this morning
lor a few dnys. was with the new Sec
retary practically all day. His coming,
however, had nothing; to do with the
Mexican hltuatlon, but was in response
to a telegram from Mr. linker asking
Nr. Garrison to visit 1dm at his office
and assist htm tn getting hold of the
loose ends of tho work.
To-morrow Mr. Garrison will prob
ably call on President Wilson for the
first tlmo Blnco ho resigned on Febru
ary 10.
When the news reached the War De
partment of the President's decision,
officers In nil grades hugged each other
tn excitement and Immediately there
was a storm of requests made by the
younger men for opportunity to go with
the expedition.'
Later tn the day telegrams began
coming Into tho Department from Na
tional Guard organisations asking that
they bo sent to the border. The follow
ing from Col. Milton J. Forman. com
mander of the First Illinois Cavalry,
one of the crack mllltla organisations
of the country, is typical:
"Will you help to send my regiment
out among the first of the Mexican
campaign'."'
It wan addressed to Capt. George Van
horn Mosely nf the General Staff, who
helped train tho rrslment In summer
manoeuvres. Forman Is a veteran of
tho SpantsJi-Amerlcan War.
Officials of the General Staff have no
hesitancy In predicting that complica
tions will ensue with the Carranaa gov
ernment, which must lead either to a
complete backing down on the part of
the American Government, or a general
Invasion of Mexico,

It will Ihi almost impossible because of

nut that owing tn the long ohuse that
Is llkoly. in result from the effort to
rapture Villa It will probably be neces
sary for the American forces to selie
the railroads and to otherwise resort
to military expedients likely to cause
friction,

Washington, March 10. Plans have
been mnde by the War College and the
General Staff for the use of thtf orga
nized mllltla in the Mexican canipahtn
If It Is found later that the legular
troops are not strong enough to carry
out the plans of the President
These plans were orlgluall.v formu
lated at the time of the selzuie of
Vera Crux and tho j(0bllltv then Im
minent that armed intervention would
lie necessaiy, that Mexico it would
have to be occupied and tli.it approxi
mately 200,000 trooie wou'd Ihi needed
to carry the campaign to a succossful
conclusion.
There Is onlv one chance that th
State mllltla will lie needed In the pres
ent situation or that the plan of ac
tion devlsod for their participation will
b put Into effect. This chance centres
around the attitude of lieu, Cirratua.
If he resents the Invasion of American
tioups even on a "punitive" expedition,
and If this resentment dually unites all
Mexicans against thn t'nlted States, the
Stnte troops will certainly be needed to
reenforce tho regulars.
It was explained at the division of

out a special appeal will lie made to
them to volunteer as units rather than

Washington, March 10. With the
purpose of the 1'niled States clearly e.
forth In the President's announcement
thul an adequate force would be sent In
pursuit of Villa attention of officials Is
fosussed to-night on the probable atti
tude of Carranna, This Is regarded n
the overshadowing element in the Mexi
can situation as preparations are being
mad" for the American expeditionary
force to cross the border
President Wilson Is still hopeful that
C.irranz.i will not look on tho American
expedition as nn outright Invasion of
Mexican sovereignty. This was Indicated
In the statement from the White House
which dictared that tho steps decided
upon could lie accomplished "In entirely
friendly aid of the constituted author!-1
tli s In Mexico und with scrupulous re- j
speit for the soveti Igutv of that re
public " I
Many high ofllclnls nf the Government ;
are by no means hopeful that C.irrnnxa i
will choose to regard the American e
i..iliin.. i.. i. ni. ,r..t..h.ll.. ni.t I
"'Ultl"ll III ,11.' llhlll , ' I lll'llill., .in..
The belief Is seriously entertained that
there is an even chance that Cairanza
will watn thn 1'nlled States within the
next twenty-four hours that the entry
of Amerlcnn armed forces upon Mexican
soil will be rrga-ded as an utifi loudly
net.
Mlrnee Is llnilnons.
Carranz.i has maintained an ominous
'deuce since ho was advised yesterday
of the Intention of tin Culled Slates to
get Villa It Is learned authoritatively
to-night that Hllseo Arredoudo. Car
ratua's Ambassador Designate, has thus
far ii celved no .Inkling of the policy to
be followed bv the provisional ruler of
Mero
The forebodings of American oflldals
that Carranza will regard the American
expedition ns a belligerent Invasion l
grounded tlrst of all Iu the knowledge of
the provisional ruler's character and of
the quality of public opinion of Mexico
It Is realized here that Carranza'a au
thority hangs by a slender thread and
that in the present contingency be tnav
be guided by those who lielieve that for
him to sanction or refrain from oppos
ing the American expedition would re
sult In his overthrow hy the Mexican
people.
It l pointed out that the people of
Mexlio are of don temper whenever,
the-lr national uivere'gnty is involved.,
Whether eir not their feelings will Maine
tin to a degree where Carr.inza would
rind it Impossible to exercise restraint
Is a question that Is receiving grave
consideration of Washington officials,
The pnllr. of President Wilson. It
may be said, was decided on with the
full appreciation of the serious possl
lillltles !t Involves, It is the hoie of
the President that Carranza will main
tain an attitude which wilt leave the
way open for the armed forces of the
I'nlttl States to pursue ami capture
Villa and return to the t'nlted States
after having taken proper measures
to Insure quiet along tlie border.
Not In llrufT llnrk Voir.
In the absence of such assurances,
however, and In the face of tlie possl.
blllty that the American expeditionary
force may meet tlie armed opposition of
nil factions In Mexico, the President Is
convinced that It was the solemn duty
of the Government not to lueltate on the
course, the beginning of which was
mapped out ve-nterday when Co! Sloetun
nml his o.ivalrj men pursued the Vllllsta
bandits across the border
This Government, it Is authoritatively
staled. It. i emtered on tile mission of
capturing and punishing thoe who have
Iwen killing American citizens long the
liound.iry and It Is determined to -o:n-plete
this tnKloti. whatever the cost.
Among Atuet lean officials strict con
sideration fhr the feelings of Carranra
and his co'istitiieticy Is displayed in so
far a such a thing Is consistent with
the course which has been adopted.
Otllclals carefully refrained to-day from
stating that the President had any plan
of going Iw-fore Congresw and asking for
authority to call for volunteers or to
take anv step that would crystallize j
the American policy as one of bellig
erent action against Mexico as a nation.
It was said that the President h.ia no
present Intention nf addressing Congre
on the gravo Issue which has been
I alsed
The President has learned from a
despatch received from Gen. Kunston I
this afternoon that there is danger of
further raids along the border to-night
Gen. Kunston expressed the opinion that
all the American forces ate on the
nlert and declared: "If Villa comes
again to-night we will give him another
beating."
Piesldent Wilson has abandoned for ,
tlie present practically every either qites. !
