the leaders of the warning Mexican
factions at Naco, Sonora. keep their
bullets for each other. they VIII be
wiped of the map. The administra-
ton has decided that Gen. Bliss, in

the situation In his own way. And
he will shell the camp OF the first OF
the factions to permit its bullets To
cross the international boundary.
Meanwhile. Chief OF the Army Stan
Gen. Hugh Scott Is en- route today to
the border. II Is understood here that
he will go to FL Paso and there con-
fer with Gen. Pancho Villa before
proceeding to Naco. II Is believed
here that as soon as villa and Scott
meet the matter can be adjusted.
In the meantime, Gen. Bliss will
protect American territory. He has
powerful artillery at hand, and 1t Is
accepted here that at the first sign
that his warning to the factions not

fed, his guns will bark. !.
