Some Mexicans first fled at the ap
proach of the expedition, but returned
when they found the soldiers friendly
and willing to pay good prices for
supplies.
The peaceful nature of the Ameri
can expedition, army officers indicated
was shown by the fact that not tin

Mexican papers in border cities also

Villa New in Mountains.
Carranza's co-operation has been
pronounced. While free use of the
Mexican railways by the American
expedition has rot yet been granted,
boh sides here are confident of a
speedy adjustment.
The pursuit of Villa is being car
ried on behind an official silence re
garding his exact whereabouts. Ap
parently he has reached the moun
tains in southern Chihuahua, while
American troops are forced to ad
vance slowly on account of danger to
their line of communications. The
mountains offer even greater obstacles
to rapid progress that did the desert.
Villa Called Foe of Liberty.
General Gavira, commandant at
Juarez, said today:
"Villa is tne foe of American lib
erty as well as of the safety of the
United States. He robbed and mur
dered Mexicans as well as Americans.
There is little sympathy for Villa on
this side of the border. It is impor
tant tp Mexican peace that he be cap

Consul Garcia in El Paso said:
"We will do all we can. First
Chief Carranza is anxious for Villa's

The two Carranza oifieials intimat
ed that even foreign nations may have
entered into the campaign for Ameri
can intervention. Concessions worth
billions of dollars have been prranted
by various Mexican rulers to Amer
ican. English, German, French and
Spanish, they pointed out. Rich
mines, jrreat ranches and vast forests
were priven away. Carranzistas esti
mated they were fciven for net more
than five cents an acre. With peon
laborers hardly more than slaves, mil
lions of dollars were earned by the
oreifrn interests in Mexico within a
short time.
It is believed that these powerful
interests lieve that control of Mex
ico by the United Slates, even tempc
larily, would confirm existing titles ta
hese mines, lands and forests.
