Occupying Towns As Soon As They Are Vacated by American Forces Ity WASHINGTON July the diplomatic aspect of Uio Mexican difficulty showed no change tonight war department measures Cor a new distribution of the border patrol clear ly indicated that months of active ser vice along the frontier await the thou sands of National Guardsmen gather ing in the south from all parts of the country Only the appointment of a general officer to supreme command is lacking now to complete adequate ad ministrative machinery not only for border operations hut for a campaign of any desired proportions in Mexico should general hostilities ensue Under the new plan the 1800milc frontier will be divided so that the southern and western military depart ments will take care of the eastern and western extremities of the line respectively Major General Frederick Funston relieved from responsibility tor the entire border at his own recom will continue in command oC the southern department while Ma jor Genera J Franklin Bell command ing the western department will trans fer his headquarters from Sun Fran cisco to Douglas Am to bo in direct touch with his share of the border work Pershing in Command The midsection of the border line embracing all territory between El Paso and a point near Douglas and reaching northward to the Colorado state line will be known the department of New Mexico Under its jurisdiction will fall the into Mexico based at Columbus N M and John J Pershing now commanding the expeditionary forces has been offered the post of depart nient commander A message went to General Pershing today asking desired to assume ibe duties of department chief in addi tion to those which now fall to his as commander in the field Tho tion is believed to have about com the movement begun ten days or more ago when General Pershing for strategic reasons ordered the lines drawn in closer to the border Tbe war department has no definite infor mation as to the exact whereabouts of Ihe various camps but it is thought that the most advanced patrols now are within 150 miles of the border May Not Accept roply bad been received from General Pershing at a late hour to night It is possible that he will sec difficulties in tho way of command of new department and of the expeditionary force under one head In that case there arn indica tions that ho would be expected to re linquish direct command of tho expe dition and establish his headquarters at some point on the border where he could give personal attention to ils needs and also supervise tho disposi tion and training of liia thousands of National Guardsmen soon to be appor to the of the line with in tho new department Tho war de has suggested TCI Paso for department headquarters but Inft the final choice to General Willi the line of communications greatly shortened the general still could co ordinate Hie operations of ho regi ments now beyond the lino probably with the senior colonel assigned to assume command of the expedition In this connection officials here arc known to be considering tho effect Ibis course might have on General suspicions to the real pur poses of the American government The expedition without a general cer in command would lose something of ils significance in military eyes it is said and could be viewed as noth ing more than the policing force it was designed to be Some officials believe this might not ho lost upon General Carranza and would tend to bear out Ibe assort ions of the Washington gov that its troops would be with drawn from Mexico as soon as tho dan ger of bandit raids the border bad boon ended No Final Action As Yet Submission of the dual command proposal to General Pershing how ever was viewed here as confirming the statement that President Wilson is not now consider ing withdrawal of the expedition from Mexico Final decision as to his course will await the formal roply to Secretary note demanding that General explain his hos tilo orders to his troops in tho vicinity of the expeditionary columns ft can bo stated on tho highest au lhat General orders have not boon changed in any respect and lint tho shortening of bis linos was made necessary by purely mili tary questions of supply ami determined by himself and Genera without reference to Wash ington Complete lack nf nny local supplies of forage as woll as tho ap parent imminence of a Mexican attack in force led General Fershing to order his men northward Northern Mexico has experienced many dry weeks The result has been thai the motor trains have had to jry everything con by

differences between the two governments would be adjust ed amicably As supporting the declarations of his government that it was taking all possible steps to stop bandit operations in the border region Mr Arrendondo said lhat as rapidly General men had moved northward Mexican troops had taken their places and a strict police con trol of the territory had been main This situation already had presented itself to state department Officials While the hostile utterances and or the do facto government have brought abmu a crisis the object which the Washington government has consistently sought it was pointed out seems is a fair way toward being ac Will Police Border There never has boon any purpose it was said but to withdraw complete ly from Mexico whoa the lie facto gov showed ihe willingness and ability to furnish adequate military protection to the border region That now is being given apparently in the sections from Pershing has withdrawn although it also lias appeared that the Mexican troops arc being disposed for this primary pur pose of making a display of force against any southern movement by ihe Americans The state department had no advices today regarding the probable date when a reply to tly demands present ed more than a week ago might be re Mr Arredondo also professed ignorance of his governments plans LEFT ENORMOUS FORTUNE GAINED IN COURSE OF FIFTY
