I 51 Chief Objects to Step Which Amer- ican Commanders Had Already Been Ordered to Avoid WILL NOT OCCUPY ANY TOWNS WASHINGTON, March 20.—Gen- eral Carranza has formally pro- tested against American troops oec- cupying Casas Grandes in their pur suit of Villa and the American gov- ornment has roplied that the troops bave been ordered specifically nof to occupy Cesas Grandes or any other towns or cities in Mexico. * The protest and reply were in- cluded In an exchange of notes be- tween Acting SBecretary Polk of the State department and Elizio Arre- dondo, ahmassador, designated (o the United States from Mexico. After a conference today between Presi- dent Wilson and Mr. Polk it became known that Mr. Poi., in a note for- warded to Mexico yesterday, sald In structions had been sent to General Funston to keep his troops away from all towns. The State department today had not received a reply from the request sent to Carranza for the use of Mexican rail- roads in transporting supplies to expeditionary force. Bvery effort is berng made by the Sta department to disseminate in Mexico the information that the United States has no motives of agaTession In sending troops across the border. Following out the same policy the American troops now in Mexico have been given instruc- tions to be careful in their dealings with Mexicans generally. Tn urging the use of Mexican rafl- roads for that purpose, it has been pointed out to the Carransa government that aimiar permission was granted Carranza troops for the use of troops last fall. Mr Polk declared today that the United Btates had not roquested permission to take over rajiroads in Mexico, but had merely asked for permission to transport aupplies. General repots from Mexico today were optimistie In character. Mr. Polk denied emphatically reports that the govern- ment had any reliable information of plots to bring about armed intervention. General Carranze, it wes learned to- 'day, had been urged by some of his closest advisers to offer & large reward for the epprehension of Vil Box Car Situation Regarded Settled tBart 'm-- !

According to Wardens €. C. McCloughry, a number ofthem have indicated that they will k the State Board of Parole for lnu-wnlmn of sentence so that they may join the army and participate in the hunt for rancisco Villa > “Some of our men have had military training tha twould fit them admirably to join the expeditionary forces,” said the warden. “A number of them have indi- cated thelr eagerness to enlist.” W. L. Kuser, superintendent of the school for boys at Eldora, says that he has seven military companies at his in- stitution, each of them composed of forty members. If troops are needed, In ad dtion to those already available, he said, he could furnish at least one company of ‘wel Itrained, well disciplined, healthy, vigorous young soldiers eager to serve thelr country. Civil War Veternns Enlist, From Muscatine comes a report that sixteen veterans of the civil war, every one of them more than 70 years of age, have filled out enlistment blanks and for- warded them tothe War department at ‘Washington, ““We are all ready to fight again for Uncle Sam.,” sald one of the veterans. “We went out in ‘0 and we fought for the union until ‘66 and to this day every one of us can shoot a rifle as accurately # a lot of young fellows.” The volunteers indicated that they might be more useful for border patrol work than for any other duty, belleving that their age would render impossible, or nearly so, active service in Mexico, with its long marches. The sixteen veterans who enlisted are: John Koehler, J, W. Berry, W. H. Hilton, W. Johnson, J. M. Duncan, Henry Schmelger, Paul Rapp, J. P. Stineman, August Eichoff, D. B. Huffman, J. W. Carl, J. B.

He declared toda tion of confiscating the mine, but that the Mexicans were suffering through be- ing thrown out of employment and that he intended to pit them back to work The governor said that the La Colorada company was the only one that had sus- pended operations In Somora and that there was no veason for its action, as he could and would give them ample pro- teetion.

On the other hand there are many in- dications here that the Mexican rallroads are sorely needed by the American mili- tary authorities to ship supplies to the troops in the field. At the present time the: upplies must go forward over a desert and mountain trall by wagons and mules, The pressure is intensified by the fact that almost all the forage for the cavalry horses must be sent from the basis as the corn and oats fed mounts of the troopers of the United States could not live on the diet that will sup- port a Mexican pony.

All returned. The following official statement was made: “In the early hours of today a com- bined force of approximately fifty Brit- ish, French and Beigian aeroplanes and seaplanes, accompanied by fifteen fight- ing machines, attacked the German sea- plane station at Zeebrugge and the aero- drome at Routave, near Zeebrugge. “Considerable damage appears to have been done. The machines on the average carried 200 pounds of bombs. All the ma- chines returned safely. “One Belgian officer is reported seri- ously wounded. “All the British machines referred to were naval.’” Zeebrugge is on the Belgian coast, twelve miles northeast of Ostend.
