j. S. AID OUT OF
! WILSON'S QUERY


NoGALES, Sonora, Nov Seen
eral NEWSSTAND Carranza appeared
unusually optimistic today regarding
the success of the constitutionalist
revolution.
Dispatches from his agents in
Washington and New York indicated
that official Washington wanted to
know the exact extent and strength
of the instruction against the Huer-
ia government. This Carranza and
his followers interpreted as strong
intimation that the Wilson admins
tration was considering recognition
of the insurgents.
Such action, the rebel chief consid-
ers, would insure the success of the
revolution. and he asserted he could
put 100000 men into the field.
CarranZa was cheered by the news
of the successful smuggling over the
line at Naco of a large shipment of
rifle ammunition.
