You run an' he hit you weeth'a brick; you run some more and he keel you daid" i Lying on a cot in Colonel Frisk's hospital here, clothed in clean white pajamas for the first time in his life, wounded Mexican today gave the above terse description of Pancho Villa's recruiting system. On adjoin ing cota lay four other Villistas and one Carranzista. They nodded their heads in affirmative of the manner in which Villa gets followers. The four Villistas were raptured by American troopers near El Valle. Tae Americans learned their hiding place from a priest who had good caupe to hate the bandit ehicftai,n. was liberated after the rout of Gen. Hernandez's command at Guerrero. F'llly two-thirds of Villa's force on 'hat night were composed of Ya.;ut Indians and half-breed.

All five of the Villistas frankly ad mit their part in the Columbus mas sacre.

President Wikon sunimontij Senator Stone and Representative Clark, Senators Sherman and Lodge and Representative Oi pi ranking members of the Foreign Relations Committee, l' r it conference at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The procedure to be taken following this as announced by high Administration authority, quotes the President as follow: "First, the President will read his message to Congress re viewing the whole situation from the Lusitania case to the pres ent time. The President will then refer and quote earlier note and will then announce that because Germany's violation ;f ' American rights, diplomatic relations will be severed. First, Ambassador von UernstorfF will be handed his passport; second. Ambassador Gerrad 'will be recalled; and third a note will b.? dispatched to Germany why this action will be taken." More conservative opinion, however, was that the President, would tell Congress that the evidence ujstified breaking off' of diplomatic relations. This latter course would leave a loop hole for the German Ambassador to confer with his government, as he will have H hours for the settlement of the controversy. , This would give the German government an opportunity to make concession that would avert a break in diplomatic relations. President Wilson announced his decision to place the subma rine controversy before Congress to his cabinet today. Later, Count von Rernstortr called at the State Department for a fifteen niinutts conference with Secretary Lansing. Secretary Tumulty was t!u!i sent to the Capitol to arrange for tomorrow's joint :-ssTon.
