CARRANZA MAY
CHASE BANDITS
ACROSS BORDER
President Wilson Agrees to
the Demands of Chief
Carranza.
WORKING AGREEMENT
HELPS U. S. SOLDIERS
General Funston Carefully
Planning Campaign to
Be Followed.
WASHINGTON March 13. The
I'niU'd Stutcs government en-
tered 'nt( a formul agreement with
the do facto government of Mexico to-
t'.uy iimler which American troops w ill
cross the border to hunt down Villa
and his bandits with the expectation
ol hearty co-operation from the Cur-
ranzii forces.
fccereiury Lansing niaiio public llio
text of a note accepting General Car-
li'tina's proposal for a reciprocal ar-
rangement between the two govern-
ments anil announcing that I ho Fniiel
Stall's Held this arrangement to bo
It- force and binding upon both par-
tied. Official announcement was
awaited tonight that the. American
foice bad crossed the border. I'lans
for the troop movements have gone
ahead without regard to the diplo-
matic exchanges.
Lansing's Statement.
Mr. Lansing also made public a
statement issued in the name of
J 'resident Wilson reiterating tint
every step being taken by Iho admin-
istration is based on the deliberate
intention to preclude the possibility
of urtucd Intervention In Mexico. Tlu
htalemnnt follows:
'In order to remote nny mls-
lipiircl slim that may exist
clllier In the I'nltcd Stales or In
Mexico I he president has author-
ized me lo give in his inline the
public assurance that Ihe mili-
tary operations now hi coiitein-
I'lailon by this gotcriiiiieiil will
he scrupulously confined lo the
object already announced and
that in no circumstances will
they lie stifi'-red to infringe in
iinv ilegrcc iioii the sovereignly
of ' Mexico or develop into Inter-
iciiti'in of any Win! in the In-
ternal arrnirs of our sister re-
luih.lc. On tile contrary what Is
now being done Is deliberately
Inlciiilcd to preclude the imissI-
hl'ity or intervention."
The note to Carranze declines the
terms of the agreement beyond tho
possibility of misconstruction. In
lirlif It ' provides that where condi-
tions arise on the American side of the
herder similar to those at Columbus
which led to the orders to General
Funston to enter Mexico the same
privib ire will be uccorded to the Mex-
ican de facto government without ne-
cessity of u further exchange of views.
-It Is elenrely stated however that the
bandits to be pursued on American
soil hv Mexican troops must have
come from the American side com-
mitted depredations on the Mexican
Utile and fled back again to 1'nited
Slates territory. There Is no such In-
stance on record In recent years.
Mexicans .luhllant.
Officials at the Mexican embassy
were jubilant over the acceptance of
General Currunzu's proposal by tho
I'nited States. The ambassador des-
ignate ICliseo Arredondo withheld
comment 'pending advices from his
c hief but other officials made no se-
cret of their entire satisfaction with
tho American note. It was trans-
mitted promptly to General Carranza.
Some officials said that while a few
extreme radirals among Carranza ad-
herents might show opposition to the
agreement this element would not be
impor'nlit nor would it influence tho
relations between tho two govern-
ments. Advices to the navy dearptment .to-
day from Vera Cruz Tampico and
nt Iter points on the Mexican gulf
coast tended to confirm this view.
Commanders of American warships
at these ports said the publication
there of the intention of the I'nited
States to send armed forces after
Villa had caused no excitement or
uneasiness. There were no indica-
tions of anti-American demonstra-
tions the messages said even when it
appeared doubtful what course tho
Carranza government would pursue.
tjjrcMincheirta pnddmieiisS tuol uaeaoe
Stop .Munitions
To prevent any war munitions from
reaching Villa from the United
States the treasury department toduy
instructed its collectors at San Krun-
cisco Nogules. and Los Angeles to
place an embargo on shipment of
arms and ammunition through those
points Into Mexico. The embargo af-
fects the principal commercial gate-
way to Chihuahua Sonora and Lower
California and is regarded as suffi-
cient in extent to make certain that
. Villa will not be supplied from this
country. There Is no present Inten-
tion to extend It to other Mexican
territory.
While General Funston was pro-
reeding with his arrangements to
pursue the bandits and end their ac-
tivities once and for all the war de-
partment was unusually quiet today.
Scores of telegrams came from the
border dealing with troop movements
supplies and other countless details of
military operations; hut no word that
the forces had gone Into Mexico. The
dispatches have not yet disclosed to
the department an outline of General

AS TO TIIIC CITY CAMPAIGN.
The World is sorry to burn that
1C. H. Kemp decided not to become a
i undulate for mayor of the city of
Tulsa before the primary on the
litralght Republican ticket. The
World had sincerely hoped that Mr
Kemp would become a candidate and
would huve given him Its loyal sup
port for such position. However The
World is glad to know that Or. S. D
1 law-ley and John II. Simmons have
consented to become candidates lie
fore the Republican primary for this
Important position and that a num
tier of prominent business men good
citizens and stuunch Republicans
liave volunteered to become candi
dates fur positions upon the city
commission and for city auditor and
we believe that a strong ticket of
capable business men can be selected
from the list of names presented as
candidates for the several city offices
to be elected in the spring campaign
The city of Tulsa has reached a
vital period In the matter of Its
growth and development. We are
'just passing from tho class of a large
town to that of a city. There aro a
tiumher of Important municipal nn
Hons which affect vitally the future
growth and development of the city
which are pressing for solution and
