WAR DEPARTMENT KEEPS MOVEMENT OF TROOPS TOWARD BORDER SECRET; OFFICERS EXPECT GUERILLA WARFARE

WASHINGTON, March 11. -The campaign to "get Villa" wat well under way today, according to high official of the war department. They refused to permit publication of any Information of what has been done, but it was generally accepted that the first cavalry brigade, Brigadier General Parker commanding, the second brigade, Colonel George A. Dodd commanding and other units already are on the move. Because the entire border Is honeycombed with spies, all details regarding operations will be held up. This is at the direct demand of Major General Fred Funston, who has explained that he must strike hard and secretly If Villa is to be limlnated from the situation.

RECOMMEND SUBSIDY

WALTER BOSSART

Recommendation made at the meeting of the Commercial club next Monday evening will be forwarded to Union City and Portland regarding the proposed subsidy of $150,000 for an interurban line north. The meeting next Monday will be the first at which the new president, L. S. Bowman, will preside. John H. Nicholson, ex-president of the club, will give a brief report of the year's work.

Garranza Assists. A. Carranza has ordered an expeditionary force of five thousand! men to proceed against Villa, but ' officials here say that it will be made up of scattering units and will not be effective. It, however, may be able to prevent Villa's escape to the south and thus allow the American cavalry to corner him. It is recognized everywhere that the campaign will be an ugly one. Haste, even at the cost of lives, is imperative. Not only must Villa be cornered but he must be cornered before his emissaries have the opportunity to rally to his defense the thousands of American-hating Mexicans of the eouth. The fighting also is likely to be of the guerilla sort. Villa, familiar with 1 every foot of ground in northern Mexico, is expected to flee to the mountains where he can entrench. This will necessitate Funston dividing his command into throe bodies to sweep the plains and round up all opposition. It Is accepted that the wings of the exteditionary force will have crossed the order from Fort Bliss, Tex., and Tiouglas, Ariz., with the main center entering at Columbus, N. M. The sharp campaign against Villa is expected to demonstrate the utter weakness of the aeroplane service of the army. As the "eyes of the staff," officials declared today there should be not less than fifty aeroplanes with experienced pilots and observers available for duty instead of.leBs.than a dozen. If Funston had fifty aviators with good pilots, officials declare that he not only would locate Villa within a day, but that he also would be ablo to plan a campaign that would round up the bandit chief without the loss of many men. As it is, his cavalry must do the work that, in Europe is'.being done by airmen.

The newly elected Republican county central committeemen, sixty-four in number, are In session at the court house this afternoon for the purpose of organizing and electing officers. Just before the meeting was called to order indications were that L. S. Bowman would be re-elected county chairman and Karl Meyers, secretary. Because of the" press of other duties Bowman did not desire to be re-elected county chairman but great pressure was brought to bear upon him to stand for re-election. It was pointed out to him that this was presidential election year and his experienced services would be required by the party in this county. Just before the meeting assembled Bowman stated he would accept the chairmanship again if it was the unanimous wish of the committee that he do so. Democrats to Meet. The eight Democratic county chairmen of the sixth district will hold a meeting on April 4 at a place not yet designated, probably Cambridge City or Connersville, and elect a district chairman. It appears almost certain that Senator Walter Chambers of New Castle will be re-elected to that office. So far as known he has no opposition. The newly elected Democratic precinct committeemen of Wayne county are in session this afternoon for the purpose of organizing and electing officers. The Progressive county central committee is also in session at the court house this afternoon.

VILLA OFFICERS

(Continued From Page One.) States soldiers invade Mexico they will be guided by a number of Americans who are familiar with every foot of territory in Chihuahua. They are mining men and ranchers who have volunteered their services as scouts. Reports were received here that the war department plans contemplate entrance into Mexico at Juarez, Columbus and Aga Prieta. Three regiments cavalry, infantry and field artillery will entrain here, it is said, cross the Rio Grande, and proceed over the Mexico and Northwestern railroad to Casas Crandes. There they will join Carranza troops and work north toward the border. At the same time a column entering Mexico at Agua Prieta will proceed eastward and a colum from Columbug will move from the north and east.
