lie added :
"There Is no use going at this thing
half cocked. The task ahead of us
Will he a long and anxious one."
Fneaslness along the border has ex
tended to the largo Mexican popupi
tlon on the A fiicr loan side. 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.
"The people must be patient." he
said. "We must he adequately pre
pared for this thing.
"In. tin? lirst place we must use ;tv
much ns possible, soldiers who are
accustomed to Mexican border
1 1< i\\ ever. 1 1 men cannot be rcinov
? m| from their present posts until the\
arc relieved by troops drawn from
? ?tlicr departments and hurried to tin
border.
"Transportation of these relief pa
trols is not an ea*y matter. Man\
of the*e troops consist of scattered
departments that have to ho eonecn
I rated, sometimes by means of diili
?u 1 1 uia relies hfore thev can bo sent
-out hwa rd.
"Concentration and transportation (.t
in iops is not all of our problem, how
ever. We are going to march into ;i
country that will afford us little or no
refuge. The commlsary must be ade
.piately supplied.
"A Villa follower can live on 1 i 1 1 !??
<>r nothing. An American soldier nui>t
be well fed if he Is to give pood ser
vice.
"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.
"Necessarily, the campaign will de
velop new situations and the disposal
of the troops is contingent upon these
developments. I Hball also visit the
fleld forces.
"Of course the expedition will not
await the arrival ai fTie bonier of all
the troops now l?eing despatched from
other departmental stations. It will
be gotten under way Just as soon as
po**dble and as other troops arrive
they will be sent forward as reinforce
ments.
"K1 I'aso naturally will bo the base
of supplies for our army. El Paso
will be supplied through Fort Sam
Houston, San Antonio."
Oiim railway lino running southward
cau be used by the American forces
during u (utrl of (lu? pui*uU. It wu*
<?nt, however, that nit imaf ?*1>*

Transportation of food, forage and

delinking under such conditions, the
? encral said.. It Is probable even Wa

tingcnflcs will have l<> be thorough
Hay for the horses alone will run Into
millions of pounds.
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. Entraining
of the eight machines, the accessory
trucks and motorcycles and supplies
begun today but was not completed.
The squadron will not get away until
tomorrow when It will proceed to El
Paso.
