All southern Chihuahua and Coahuila are now said to be in the hands 0f the handits. Headquarters of the Punitive Ex- pedition, United States Army, near Casas Grandes, Mexico, by aeroplane to Columbus, New Mexico, March 27.- The further south the army penetrates, the more persistent and consistent be- comes the co-operation and assistance in pursuit of Villa on the part of the forces commanded by officers of the Carranza government, a circumstance very favorably commented upon by officers of the armed expedition. Never in the history of the army of the United States has every branch of the service, cavalry, infantry and artillery, given better evidence of its mobility, stamina and preparedness than on this expedition. Since leav- ing Columbus, March 15, the army has reached a point 200 miles south- ward, every mile of which was trav- elled overland through some of the roughest country in the republic of Mexico. "I am proud of the record made by the forces under my command on this occasion," said General Pershing, lead- er of the expedition, when discussing the matter this afternoon, "The men and animals are in splendid condition and, so far as the men are concerned, the furher they get into the interior of the country the more enthusiastic they seem to become."

The time set for the ordering of invitations ex- pired over two weeks ago, but since over 175 seniors have not been heard from as yet, this extra time allowance has been secured from the printers. The definite order for invitations will be placed Wednesday and it will be impossible for seniors to secure them after that time. It is therefore necessary that all orders be in the hands o' the committee this evening. CHIEFTAIN IS RETI EATING Villa was reported nearly 100 miles southeast of this point, which indicates that he is retreating. It is believed that the American forces cannot get any contact with him. There is in- timation that, far from seeking asy- lum in the Duerro district where he is supposed to have been, Villa has turned eastward, giving no indication as to his ultimate object. A new advance base for the Ameri- can army has been established 100 miles below Casas Grandes, and nio- tor companies have left for this base loaded with supplies of all kinds for the troops stationed there. The gar- rison now at the front is composed of organizations representing all branch- es of the military service. CARRANZISTAS TO BLAME San Antonio, Maxi, 27. - General day, General Pershing announced that that Villa did not break through the line of the American forces, but slip- ped past the Carranzistas. There is reason to believe that the Carranza troops are not only failing to co-operate actively with the Ameri- can troops but are actively aiding Villa to escape. General Funston reported that the expeditionary force was suf- fering from cold. Being very lightly clad for service, he said our troops are now actually suffering from the extreme cold in the mountain coun- try. - Lieutenant Bowen, the ,aviator in- jured in a fall at Casas Grandes, ar- rived at San Antonio today and was taken to Fort Sam Houston hospital. General Funston has received no word of sniping by Mexicans as reported from El Paso. He says General Per- shing would report to him, if it were true. Returning to Casas Grandes on Sun- day General Pershing announced that he had established an advance base at El Valle, 20 miles south of the present field base. Casas Grandes, be- ing 110 miles from the border, the American troops are now 130 miles in the interior of Mexico, with the dis- Prof. Wenley will not meet his Ethics class at 10;:00 today. tance daily increasing.
