Dispatch, 1 Brigadier General Pershing with more than 4.000 troops today began the pursuit In Mexico of Francisco Villa, whose raid across the border last week caused President Wilson and his Cabinet to decide to use the United States Army to run him down Gcncrul Pershing's report that he and his command had crossed the 1: ternatior.al boundary line Just south or Columbus, N.

How far into Slexico the roluni had reached tonight was not known ere, nor did General Funston an pear greatly concerned. General Pershing's course for the next two days is known at headquarters and not until after Friday are sharp de velopments expected. Col. George J Dodd, heading a smaller column that entered Mexico some distance west of Columbus, also is moving In a southernly direction and these two forces should be within touch of each other before the end of the week. By that time It Is expected an infantry support will hold the lines of communication along which motortrucks for the transportation of ammunition and supplies will be operated. The censorship Imposed by General Funston was relaxed tonight but er forts Ftlll were made to keep secret the details of the plan of campaign the exact number of men engaged and their actual locations. General Pershing's report of hi entrance Into Mexico served to dispel to n grout event rears in some quarter;-, that resistance would be of fered by troonrs of the do facto gov ernmer.t. Colonel Rortalnl, the com tnnnder of the Carranza garrison n Palomns on the south side of the di vlding line, promptly Joined General Pershing. His force was only some 100 niep, but they wore reported to have displayed willingness nnd even e;'gerno?i to join tV chase. As n body the Mexican trrnns will remain under their own commander, but number of them are being employed as scouts by General Pershing, General Pershing has gone Into Mexico with orders to overtake and wipe cut Villa nnd his organization Vnless orders to the contrary are re ceived from those higher in authori ty than General Funston, the cam paign that was begun today will con tinue until Villa is captured or killed No limits have been placed on the field of operations. After the cam palgn Is well under way, it was pointed out, circumstances may cause restrictions, but Just now tho troops nro prepared to go anywhere to carry out the President s orders There are now available in this de partment for operations in Mexico more than 20,000 troops nnd plans for recruiting the companies to full strength are exported to increase the number quickly. Cavalry posts have been relieved by Infantry in most rases in order to furnish a more mo bile force for the pursuit of Villa, although In the expedition that went in today there Is a considerable force of artillery which can be reinforced nt any time by several more batter ies now held cn the American side within easy distance of the border. Congress Increases Army. Washington Dispatch, March 14. Joint resolutions authorizing the President to bring the regular army up to full strength, by adding about 20,000 to t lie existing organizations, passeil the House by a vote of 236 to one late today. Representative Hay, chairman of tho military committee, told the House the Administration recom mended tt.ir, plan rather than call the militia or volunteers. The action will bring tho nrmv to Its limit of 120,00. The resolution will ")o called up In the Senate to morrow. Hay introduced tho resolution In tho House after a conference with Chamberlin, chairman of the Senate military committee, and Secretary Raker. Representative London, So cilist, cast the only dissenting vote. Orders Xot Modified. While Carranza is apparently mak ing every effort to capture Villa, by moving his troops northward rapidly In an encircling movement, there Is no sign here that Funston's orders to enter Mexico have been modified In any way. Word that American troops have crossed the border was lacking tonight, the War Department Itself not having been advised as to when the movement is to begin. Crossing Witnessed by Hundred. El Paso (Texas) Dispatch, 15th. American troops were on Mexican soil tonight 60 miles west of here, the vanguard of an expedition gathered In less than a week, but one of the most powerful forces assembled by this country since the Spanish-American war. they were out on the Iden tical hills where one week ago to night. Pancho Villa led 1,200 of his bandits stealthily up to the Aemrlcan border to make an early morning bandits stealthily up to the American city of Columbus, N.

Wingate, March 16. -Well, wife, I haven't a line written for The Jour nal for this issue, and what Is still worse. I haven't a single local item of interest to write. What shall I do?" "Why, you'll have to use the wires guess. .Maybe you can nnd some thing." "All right. I H try it anyway, H-r-r-r-r; Number? I am looking for some news for the paper. Have yon anything of interest to tell me? "Not a word can I think of now- Well, I guess you have an account of the marriage?" Yes mam. Now please give me Prof. residence B-r-r-r. "Hello." Hello. Prof, this is O. P. T. nosin; around for some items of interest for our Wingate news letter. Can't you help me i little?" " Well. I can't think of any thing ct ell right now. I reckon you have heard of the marriage?" "Yen Just heard of that." "Pastor Plack is having a splendid revival meeting at ilarshville this week." "Clad to hear of it." "That's all I know to tell you this time." "All right, very much obliged, good by." B-r-r-r-r "Number?" "Give me No. please." "Hello." "Hello, this is O 1. Timlst. That is Sirs. is it not? "Yes sir." "Can you give me some material for our next letter?" "Not a word that I remember now. I wish I could help you out in your efforts fof our town. We don't want to miss a single letter from you. It is the linst thing looked for by every reader in ingate. I ll try and help you all I can from time to time." "I shall appreciate your kind help very much indeed, good bye." And as it goes from one to another this morning with the same result nothing doing too cold nnd windy everybody at home by the fire, This is our mornings experience, If it is worth its space, print it, oth erwise don t. The month is half gone. It did not come in like a lion, but has behaved very much like a ferocious wild beast lion, tiger, bull moose or something--and has kept us playing the role of Tantalus from the beginning to the present, Every time the much coveted, genial, delightful "spell" of weather reeined to be almost within our grasp the weather man started emicihliig and knocked our nnticipn lions into "shivers" and wo just kept right on Miivoring and hoping. Hut like all things, there is always good to compensate lor the bail and v.ce versa. So let us try nnd content our selves with what we can't change any way. Mr. J. Sladison Meigs of Marsh villo was In town Tuesday afternoon for a while on business, Some of our most progressive folks took advantage of what little good farming and gardening weather we have hud and planted some Irish po tatoes, bedded sweet potatoes, plant ed some garden sass and did some plowing in the Ileitis. My friends, if you want to reduce the cost of living to its minimum, be sure to have a good garden and a good sized potato patch ol each kind. These with n gootl milk cow come its near furnish ing a complete living as anything we know of: besides it gives us the very heapest and most wholesome living obtainable. It beats bringing every thing from the store in paper bags out of sight.

It is much to be regretted that Undo Sam had to resort lo extreme measures in cider to subdue those Mexican bandits and protect the lives and property of our fellow citizens. ct us hope and pray that tho task may be vpecdily accomplished nnd that with its little blood-slied nnd uttering as possible. President Wil son deserves deepest sympathy, for we feel that he has gone to the full limit in trying to avoid this most disagreeable extreme. Well, guess my readers will con clude that 1 am out of "soap by smut;" nnd so I am. Can't make more without lye (lie) and have no more on hand. O. P. T. VAU WITH I XITKH STATES? 'SILLY, SAYS JAGOW German Foreign Secretary Hldkules lea That Hostility Exist 'lloer Polities' No Guide. Chicago Dispatch, .March 14. The Derlin correspondent of the Chicago Daily News sends the fol lowing interview. "People nowadays believe most fantastic things, but I never bad thought it possible that Americans would believe anything so absurd as that Germany alter tnis war wouic attack the United States." said Hen vou Jagow, the German Foreign Sec retary, today. He rpoke in reply to my statement that 1 found most Americans who urged military pre paredness did so because they feared an attack by Germany. To my assurances that really rep resentative Americans held this be lief the German Foreign Secretary shook his head as if bewildered. "You must be familiar," he began, "with Clausewitz's axiom that war is the forceful continuation of a policy. Nations do not make war out of rage. The persent war, for instance, is a part of the policy of Great Britain to isolate us, Fiance to retrieve her losses of 1870 and of Russia to es tablish a hegemony in the Balkans. "Just what has been the 'policy of Germany toward the I'nited States from the very birth of your republic? What are the instances in your whole history where we have oposed you?" "I have found many Americans who fear Germany will attack the Monroe Doctrine," I said. "Has Germany ever taken any step," the Foreigu Secretary replied, "that could lead any sensible person to believe that she meant to touch the sovereignty of any American state? I have not the slightest rea son that we shall change our Ameri can policy, and I doubt very much if there is any American who before the war ever thought of the need of preparing against Germany. "We have been confronted bv the submarine problem, a question which, by the very iiicngcrness of the law governing submarine warfare, cer tainly C 'Ve room for wido divergence of view.;. We had one view and your President took another, but our policy has been that of friendliness to America, we made concessions, al though we, not America, were at war and concessions cost us a real price in military cltectivoness. jour own press has been hostils to us, not only niter the Lusilanla affair, but to a certain extent from the very outbreak of the war, nnd th? warm feeling for America which one found in Germany before the war has changed. It is only natural that It should have changed, but if beer rc: turant politicians have gope so far its to say: 'Yes, these Americans say. they'll get theirs when this war Is linlshed,' you must remember that this is tho kind of chauvinism beer rrsturant politicians sometimes dis play in war time, not only among us. but In America too. I never heard a sensible, responsible German give ex presslon to such an Idea, never." "I think Americans have been wor ried by so-called German plots in America, I interjected. 'I have said It before, and I re peat It gladly," Herr von Jurgow re plied, "that the German Government disavows any responsibility for any plots in America having to do with fomenting strikes, destroying proptr- ty. or stirring up trouble In Slexico. If your own ritlzens have engaged in such enterprises it has not been at our Instigation." VUU Will Die KlgliCn-.; Says a Con. cord Citizen Concord Tribune. Villa will be run down but he will die lighting, is the opinion of Mr. .1 U. FeUer. r.. of this city, who spent five years at Parrall. Chihuahua. Mexico, about IS miles from Villa's former home.

Feter W Meldrim, of Savannah, and live oth er former presidents of the American llur Association, today protested to the Senate Judiciary committee against the confirmation of Louis D, lirandeis for the supreme court. The others were Simeon E. Baldwin Francis Rawle, Joseph H. Choate Elihu Root and Sloorfield Story. Air. Taft and live of those protest Ing, sent a letter Elating that they felt " under the painful duty to say to you that in their opinion, taking Into view the reputation, character and professional career of Sir. Bran deis, he Is not a tit person to be member of the Supreme Court of the I nited Slates." Mr. Sleldrim wrote that he had bean invited to approve the nomina tion, but had declined. Trial or the Chcrstoi field Rioters. Pageland Journal. Messrs. J. E. West, Baxter West, Arthur West, Sheppard West nnd Luther West were convicted of the charge of riot in Chesterfield county court Friday night about S o'clock, after a trial lasting live days. All the others named In the warrant were acquitted. The examination of wit nesses countinuetl through the first four days, and Friday was lawyer's day. The attorneys for each side plead for their clients on the ground that they had already been punished and that the other side was certainly to blame. The solicitor and bis help er plead for the conviction of all on the ground that they had all come to Pageland on March 12, 1915 armed and prepared for a battle and that they engaged In a mutual combat, that It was immaterial who fired the fatal shots, and that the hand of one was the hand of all. The lawyers fin ished their arguments and the case was given to the Jury a short time be fore night Friday. After an absence from the court room of about three hours the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty as to all the defendants ex cept the five boys named above. The Judge fined each of these $150 each, or a year on the chain gang. Notice of appeal was at once given by coun sel for the Wests. Prof. Hamilton Resigns Principal-.

The I'nited States, through the Sta'e Department, has virtually es tablished a publicity bureau in Me.d co to prevent distorted versions of the American purpose in sending forces after Villa. No reports of dis satisfaction In Slexico have reached here. After establishing a strict cen sorship over the news of tho border troop movements, the War Depart ment, it is understood, cautioned Gen. Funston against too full publication of his plans. Ammunition Seized. El Paso (Tex.) Dispatch March 14.
