Definite word TO this effect reach
ed the United States government to-
night from It's border agents. who re-
ported that Angeles had crossed into
American territory last Friday night.
Officials here were unable TO throw
much lieht on the reasons for the de-
parture Of Angeles at time when
his services TO villa In the military
campaign would seem TO be vitality
needed. One explanation advanced
was that Angeles WAS coming 20 the
tinted states to confer with some OF
the many prominent Mexicans who
have been living In exile. taking no
part In the revolutionary activity, but
who lately have been planning to
form a coalition with SOME OF the
