17. Had an interview with Cabrera today. Was informed General Carranza and General Obregon think it will be necessary to request withdrawal our troops in a short time in the event of failure to capture Villa soon. This considered doubtful as reports here are that Villa unimpeded rapidly making for mountains. They fear political effect if no such action taken. Sentiment here seems to support such a policy.
