Officers Admit No Hope Now for Villa Capture
American army officers in El Paso said the expedition into Mexico has no chance of capturing Villa dead or alive and troops may withdraw. Villa strengthens in Durango south of the border while U S forces rest near San Antonio awaiting Gen Scott and Gen Funston talks.

Carranza’s position weakens in Mexico City and he is rumored to consider fleeing to Vera Cruz if overthrown.
