Troops now stationed on the border -towns are Hiittlclent to cope with any situation that may arise, CJeneral Funston says. However, as It Is his Intention to use these troops in the search for Villa and as they cannot move until other detachments arrive to succeed them on the border patrol, complete organiza tion of the oxjH'dltlonary force has boon delayed. Army circles feel bound to respect the fear of residents in Amrlcan bor der towns that notwithstanding assur ances from (Soneral Carranza's repre sentatives, uprisings may follow the actual occupation of Mexican territory by American soldiers. It Is felt that the welfare of the border cannot ho sacrificed to the doubtful success of a hasty and therefore unprepared pur suit of the fugitive Villa. (Sonera I Funston's sta tement today regarding the uncertainty <>f the puni tive expedition's departure from Amer ican scdl and his partial outline <>f the projected plan of campaign were In reply to what h<>tj>wrrrTt- the Impa tience of the iVmerlcan people for speedy set ion.

"We won't gain anything by haste To send an inadequate force. Insuili ciently prepared after Villa, would hinder and not hasten matters." Speaking regarding the course the '?p.mpalgu will lake General t'unstou said : "There will be more than one expe ditionary force although I am not at liberty to say how many or from what points they will start. They m;i\ ' make simultaneous entries Into Mexi co or they may be sent forward at in tervals. They may all leave from the snme point or they may depart from different points. "All this will he left to the dlscre tion of the expeditionary commander who will have complete charge of nil the forces in the fleld. I don't believe in swivel <halr campaigning.

The general explained thai the lirst aero s?|ua?lron and the regular scouts ?f the Hrin.v would do all of the scout for the expedition, "Wy are hiring civilian scout*," he said, "'who are familiar with every foot of the territory they will penc Irate -Americans who have been work lug down In that country fur years." It Is the general's expectation that the aero squadron will be of great service. "<)f course the filers have seen duty down on the border," he said. ".They could not accomplish much, however, for thickets and stretches of hushes make observations ditllcuUt. <Mit In - the open mesas of the territory we will traverse, however, the hoys will render great assistance." Advance duty service In the small detachments that are thrown out by armies as "finders" will be the most hazardous work the American soldiers will encounter, General Funstou be lieves. "Villa troops will at times surprise these scouting parties," he said. "In ordinary warfare our men might, If hopelessly outnumbered and resistance wns futile, surrender with safety. To surrender to Villa, however, would be worse than suicide. Villa's men will kill every American they can lay hands on. Every encounter with them means a tight to the death for our men." ' It has been decided that the first aero squadron will not attempt a flight to the base of operations.
