WATCHFUL

Troops Sent to Naco Because Of
Carelessness Of Two Factions
in Directing Fire NO
Aggressive Move
BY United Press.

Washington, Dec. "a statement
from the White House on the ordering
of troops to the Mexican border was:
ut has been thought wise to strength
en- the forces at Naco because of the
carelessness of the two contending
Mexican factions across the border.
in falling to control the direction of
their fire. OF course no aggressive
action is contemplated" :,
1t was indicated that there would
be no change in the former policy of
"watchful waiting"
Ell Paso, Dec. 9.-Three batteries of
field artillery went to Naco, Ariz., to
end the shooting across the border
during the fighting between the Car
ranzistas and Villaista troops there
How far the United States is going in
stopping this firing into Arizona de-
pends upon Gen Tasker H. Bliss, as
sistant chief of staff. who is enroute
to Naco The belligerents will prob
ably be ordered to cease firing.
While the outcome of such negotia-
tions as will be conducted through the
state department is awaited, the artil-
cry and cavalry of the American army
will stand guard ready to carry out
any orders which may develop from
the conferences with the Mexican
chiefs.
The forces of Gen. Benjamin HILL
loyal to Carranza, are ranged close to
the line, while those Of Gov Mayto-
rena, supposed to be a follower of
Gen. Villa, but often reported as in
dependent of his authority constitute
the attacking forces.
Since the American troops settled
down in trenching along the boundary
sixty days ago, seventeen of the sol
diers have been hit by stray shells and
bullets from Naco, Sonora, where Gen.
Benjamin Hills force of Carranzistas
is defending the town against the at
tack of Gov Maytorena's Yaqui In
dians. Two American cavalrymen
later died from their wounds, one is
blind and several are in a serious con-
dition.
Five persons in all have been killed
on the American side of the line and
forty-four wounded. Twenty of these
were Americans and twenty-nine Mex,

Two of the soldiers were hit Mon
