Details of Expt Will Be L Fighting General to Have CI stroy Villa's Forces?An Enter Intc Washington. March 10.?Indications 2a:e tonight were that the carrying out of President Wilson's order that American troops reenter Mexico co capture or kill Villa and his bandits would be le t to the man on the ground lAiaj. Gen. Frederick Funston. After a late conference with the president, Secretary Baker announced that no invasion of Mexico in force was conlemnlated. that the troops would be sent to disperse or capture the raiders and would be withdrawn immediately when their work was done or when the de facto government was able to insure peace along the border. Officers of the general staff began at once- the preparations of instructions .cr Gen. Funston in accordance with this annoucement. Their purport was not revealed. Earlier in the day Gen. Funston had suggested tha: the plans for troop movements across the border be kept secret. He desired to add the element of surprise to his weapons for exterpating the bandit ^ ^ ~ r. r? rilc/\ 11 cm ?-7 fKof iurcc.

Steps to comply with tliis request were "taken at the war department. Whatever additional troops may 'be needed will 'be ordered promptly to the border. Officials of the department and Secretary Baker himself worked far into the night on details of possible troop movements, supplies and the like. The secretary's call at the White Hc.ise followed a busy day at the war department. The machinery of the general staff was set in motion immediately after President Wilson's decision to hunt down the raiders was j announced at the close of the cabinet j meeting. The war plans committee i assembled and went, over the situation. Little detailed information as to the immediate situation on the I Mexican side of the border is available Siere. Such matters are under the jurisdiction of Gen. Funston, who has iis own intelligence officers.

Funston must be left unhampered to ITvoik out the problem of pursuing the 'band'its with what ever force he thinks ^necessary and at the same time to secure American border towns and j ranches against repetition of the Columbus raid. The committee also assembled facts ;and figures in relation tc a possible -decision to sweep the whole o. northern Mexico with a military dragnet to ! ^catch the bandits. Such a plan, It was said, while certain to end the disturbed conditions along the border, would involve the use of troops by the tens of thousands instead of regiments. Figures as to the iorce the committee -thought necessary for operations of "this character were not revealed. Immediately after they were submitted to Secretary Baker, however, the lat tar arranged his con erence with President Wilson and laid the whole situation before the commander in chief "The president's decision apparently is ! ir> Qpppotarv states o UliiUiU A 14UVU AAA V I.M. * J ?' ^*?V* W W VV? ?v iment, which is as follows: '"There is no intention of entering Mexico in force.

"Right at this time especially, 1 want to caution you and warn you against an all cotton crop this year. As sure as you continue to devote v*our attention wholly to cotton this v-ear, you are going to come out at j :lie little end of he horn. There is nn if Yrm all rAmp.mhpr what happened in 1914 when the European war "began.
