TRAP FOE! U. S. TROOPS WHICH GEN. VILLA SET AVOIDED BY LEADERS

EL PASO, Te.,' April 7. Francisco Villa has selected his battle ground near Parral and.'is awaiting there with 2,000 of his bandit followers the" American troopers sent to effect his capture. This Information drifttd over the border today while persistent reports were circulated in El Paso that the Carranza government would In the near future demand the withdrawal of -the.

READS LOVE LETTERS IN CHAPEL

Note-writing, heretofore a favorite v pastime at high school, promises to become less popular in the future. Not that high school students have found another and perhaps more satisfactory way of conveying their love missives. And not because unfeeling scho'ol authorities might have decreed that all offenders be dismissed from school or some other equally severe punishment meted out. Here's the plan. Any. and all notes found in the building will be turned into the office. These notes will be kept under lock and key until weekly assembly. Then Principal Picked, or whoever .may be assigned the task, will mount the auditorium platform and placidly read the tender words inscribed.

Villa Sets Trac

It Is the opinion of military men. on the border that Villa has been attempting to lead the American troops into a trap, but the commanding officers in the punitive expedition are seasoned c ampaigners who won renown in conflicts, with the wily Filipinos and it is not believed that they will attack Villa without sufficient men to make, vie-, tory certain. Reiterated assertions from Carranzista officers that they will capture Villa are accepted at their face value. Villa's flight was made through a dist rict in which . Carranza is . supreme but his troops failed to prevent the bandit's escape. . " The Carranza folk themselves appear to be euffjerjn.jrpw4atenial. dissension. The appointment" .of.
