One report said that the bandit had already reached that town but it was generally believed that this wias at least premature There is little question any longer +4 the border that Villa is heading for Torreon, in the neighborhood of which city ne will find Canuto Reves, his most trusted lieutenants. Reves has successfully defied the Carranz forces for several months. He has rav- aged north Durango and is believed to have several hundred men in his com- mand, with smaller guerrila bodies op- ,crating in conjunction with him. If Vi an cffect a junction with Reves sufficiently in advance of his pursuers to attempt a concentration of the ban- dits, it is said that he can muster 2,000 men at least Both Mexicans and Americans who know Villa personally have little doubt as to the tactics he is trying to pursue, They say that the fugitive bandit is not alarmed over any opposition he may meet from his countrymen but that he is devoting all his energies to planning the discomfiture of the Am- erican forces, whom he fears almost as much as he hates. According to these observers, Villa is anxious to push as far south as possible with the purpose of stretching out the already line of communication of the ns to the breaking point. With few men under the Pershing, a line of 500 miles long thin America the comparatively aommand of Gen, v&mmuni ation 400 or becomes a serious problem. Torreon is 500 miles from Columbus as the «row flies and a far greater distance by the winding trails that are the only roads across northern Chihuahua: Use of Railroads Imperative, The free use of the Mexican rail- roads for the transportation of both Men anad supplies would, of course, upset Vill calculations and im- mensely simplify Gen. Pershing's problem. Army officers here make no secret of their belief that some ar- rangements with the de facto govern- ment for the use of railways will be- come imperative if it proves true that Villa has outdistanced his pursuers in his flight south. While Mexican bullets have not tak- ené the life of a single soldier in the American expeditionary forces and have wounded only four, the Mexican climate has been more inconsiderate.

With Francisco Villa still in flight and his whereabouts apparently un- known to his pursuers, the campaign of the American forces, now scouring rorthern Chihuahua for the bandit, entered today upon a broader phase. N#w troops have been ordered in jco from the military base at Columbus, N. M., to protect the lensthening line of communication. ‘illa has been reported at many points within the broad zone that ranges from the Rayon Country to the Benito Juarez district where the ast Mexican reported he weg south of Satevo and heading for Parral, but this could not be con- frmed. The difficulties of the pur- it have multiplied because of the misleading information given by Mexican peons to General Pershing’s men . Army men here believe that Villa moves southward, with his trail well covered for the time at least, it will be necessary to establish new ariny bases and strongly guard the line of comunications. TLarge rein- forcements of American troops will be needed, the military authorities erican as THRE ATENED SUIT OF F. OF A.

Andrews, New Britain Chamber of has received a communication from ex-President William H. Taft, asking the first annual national assemblage of the League to Enforce Peace, to be held in Washington on May 26 and 27. Mr. Taft is the president of the league. With a view to having the country’s business men well represented at the league’s first annual conference, Mr. Taft has sent a like Invitation to all of the commercial organizations which of Commerce of the United States. The national Chamber of Com- merce adopted through a referendumn held recently, an international peace plan similar in character to that out- lined in the platform of the League to Enforce Peace, which the following four proposals: An international court, An international council of concilia- tion, An agreement to use the joint armed and economic forces of all the signatory powers to compel a sub- mission of international disputes to the court or council before begin- ning hostilities or declaring war, An international code. The point of difference between the Taft League’s plan and that of the national Chamber of Commerce, lies in the third proposal, the latter or- .anization having failed to adopt by a two-thirds vote, the *“joint armed fore clause- The idea of an aco- nomical boycott, however, was sus- tained. ol Taft's Letter. sums up the situation as follows: “The commercial organizations constituting the Chambher of Com- votes on Referendyuin Number Eleven expressed approval of the fundament- al principle of the lieague to Enforce Peace. Indeed all the specific rec- ommendations excepting one Wwere carried by majorities in excess of two-thirds. Amony the recommenda- tions thus adopted was one favoring the organization of a system of com- mercial and financial non-intercourse, to be applied to nation which first arose and then went to war without submitting a difference which to an agreed upon tribunal.

It is from this point of view, there- fore, that your organization is asked to send a delegation to annual mect- ing of the league.” When the Chamber of Commerce referendum was submitted last vember Mr. Taft wrote to the presi- dents of local commercial organiza- tions as follows: “The irremediable injury that would result to the whole world in case «a way should not be found, at the close of the European conflict, to ma war less threatening, and to render it less frequent, has induced a con- siderable number of leaders in realms both of statesmanship and of | business to combine in an effort to create sentiment in our own other countries, in favor of posals that were put forward at the Philadelphia conference. “The obvious and urgent need that nt | led the committee of the chamber to {draw up its admirable report, and | the board of dircctors to authorize its submission, is an eloguent argument in favor of a combined effort to do all which human ingenuity and devo- tion can, to prevent the recurrence of such a catastrophe as the world is now experiencing.” The League to Enforce organized at Philadelphia in pendence hall, June 17, last Since then state branches have formed, or are in proce of form:- jtion in all of the states and District of Columbia- It has tne support of a large number of men of prominence in political, educational and legal circles, in all parts of the country.
