INTERYBNTION POSSIBILITIES. Villa Outrage in Now Mexico Takes on "Last Straw" Aspects. Washington, March 9.-Washing ton stands squarely behind Col. Slo cum in sending cavalry into Mexico lu pursuit of Francisco Villa and his band of outlaws who raided Colum bus. N. M., to-day, murdering Ameri can soldiers and citizens anti tiring the town.' Formal request for permission to ' .send American troops across the bor- j der to hunt down Villa and his ban dits who raided Columbus, N. M., early to-day has been made to Cen. Carranza by Brig. Gen. Pershing at El Paso, through Andreas Garcia, Carranza consul there. While a reply from Carranza is awaited, five troops of tho 13th Cav alry are across the border under or ders from their commander, Col. Slocum, not to go more than two mile? into the interior. Commanded by Yilla. A dispatch from Gen. Pershing, forwarded to tho War Department late to-day through Gen. Funston, stated definitely timi tho Mexican raiders were commanded by Vitia personally. Gen. Pershing's report says: "Slocirm reports by telephone and askB me to repeat that Villa himself led the charge through camp with a force estimated at from 5 00 to 1,0 00 men. Eleven Mexicans were killed in camp and 23 altogether so far." Intervention Predicted. Faced hy a now crisis in Mexican affairs by thc Columbus massacre, administration officials admitted that President Wilson might find it diffi cult to refrain longer from actual In terference. What the administration leaders who favor a watchful waiting course fear most is an outbreak in Congress with its effect upon ithe (country. The Senate particularly, which con tains many vigorous critics of the administration's Mexican policy, bas Just, settled down from the flurry over the Cusl massacre of several weeks ago. At the Stau- Department lt was said that the situation was "very se rious," but that no announcement of what, action could be taken would he made until an official investigation wa? concluded. The department is understood to have begun the draft of a memoran dum to Gen. Carranza, based on the report of Gen. Funston. At the White House tho only word given out was that steps would be taken to punish tho Villa bandits, but it was not indicated whether Gen. Carranza -would bo called upon to do so or whether American troops won kl he sent over tho line. News Almost Incredible. The news of the raid spread over the Capitol with startling effect. Senator Stone, chairman of tho for eign relations committee, also got in coman un i cation with the State De partment and asked Senator Fall for a conference. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, Democrat, said: "That means intervention. 1 don't see what else eau he done." Senator Tillman declared the nows was almost incredible. "There never has been a President who tried so hard to keep out of war as President Wilson," he Staid, "hut if this is true, ll looks as if Gen. I'hinston would have to get busy at once."

Early this afternoon tho Anderson City Council received the following telegram: "Replying to your wire on insur ance matter: I see no necessity for calling extra session of Legislature. 1 believe that the interests of tho peo ple will bo taken care of.

Wm. G. McAdoo, the author of the article below, ls Secretary of tho United States Treasury, and son in-law of President Wilson. Ho was born near 'Marietta, Ga., in 18G3. He lias won faine as a lawyer and as the builder of the gigantic tunnel un - der Hudson river. He entered thc Wilson cabinet in 1013). To Hie Hoys on Southern Farms: I have been asked to tell you what quality 1 think will help you most to 'meet success either as business men or farmers. This is what may bo I called a "tall' order, because success I docs not depend upon airy ono qual ity; it depends upon a combination of Qualities. If, however, I should limit my remarks to what I think ls the most Important factor in tho suc cess of an individual, whether in farming or In any other calling, l would say this: The surest road to success for any boy is to do the work or the task allotted to him better than anybody over did it before. No matter bow h uni ble tho work or insignificant tho task, do it better than anybody else ever did it, If that bo possible. If you go at your work in this spirit you will get results. Thc boy who bas this kind of determina tion will do bis work better than thc boy who hasn't it and who doesn't work in that spirit. The willing boy the eager boy, the hustling boy whose mind and heart are in lib whole work, will outdistance all tin other kinds of boys, aird sooner ot later bis employer will fix his eyo 01 him and give him promotion whci opportunity offers. 1 have very little confidence tn Hu thing that people call "luck."
