General p. E. Gales.
Whether an attack will be delivered
upon the waiting Carranza troops re.
mains to be seen. There are those
Who believe that villa will not make

lieve that he will throw his half

entrenched Carranza forces and make
a final desperate attempt to drive
them. by the fury Of ais assault. over
the line into Arizona as his last hope.
In the event Of damage to Ameri-
can life or property, villa runs the
risk OF having to fight $500 United
States troops along with the Carranza
garrison that should now number
more than his own. The Carranza
garrison was reinforced by the ar
rival OF FIVE train loads of fighting
men through American territory from
Piedras Negras. Coahuila.
American troops commanders at
Douglas. Ariz.. estimate the Gales
force behind the Aqua Prieta fortifica-
lions at between $500 and 1000 men
prior to the arrival of reinforcements.
Carranza officials declare that 5000
achievements arrived there Satur-
day and Sunday. Sixteen pieces of
