U. s. CAVA[RYMEN EXCHANGE SHOTS
 WITH MEX|CANS
One Carranza Soldier Is Wounded When Ameri- cans Return Fire From
 Across Rio Grande

Brownsville. Tex. September 17.-United States cavalrymen and Mexicans ex changed shots across the Rio Grandt at two points today without casualties on the American side. In the first brush on the outskirts of Brownsville, one Car ranza soldier was wounded In the sec ond engagement near Donna. Tex, which lasted for more than two hours, no one
 was wounded on either side.
 According to reports made to Col A. P. Blocksom, in command of the border
 patrol here, the Mexicans opened fire without provocation in both instances Charges that Carranza troops participated in the fight near Brownsville were denied by officers of the Matamoros garrison who explained that the soldier wounded was asleep on the river bank and was struck by stray bullet
 The fighting near Brownsville started when a lieutenant, commanding a de- tachment of 20 troops sent to nvesti- gate reports of firing across the border, was fired upon after he had questioned a Mexican fishing. from the opposite bank of the river. As the officer turned to rejoin his troops the fisherman opened fire. Almost simultaneously half a dozen other men appeared on the river bank and Joined in the attack. The troopers. who were hidden in the bushes, returned the fire and the exchange of shots continued for 15 minutes when two Carranza officers rode up and beat the Mexicans back with their swords.
 While the firing was at it's height sev- eral hundred residents of Matamoros be- sieged the garrison there and demanded that they be given guns that they might join in the fight. They were dispersed.
 In the clash near Donna. 60 miles north west of Brownsville, about 40 Mexfcans attacked a detail of 10 soldiers sent to investigate reports that an American out post had been fired upon SpasmodIc fir ing continued for several hours, but the craftsmanship of the attacking party was poor and all of the shots went wild. It was first reported that 17 of the Mexi- cans were struck by bullets, but an of- ficial report to post headquarters here tonight stated that none was wounded, so far as could be ascertained.
 At all other points along the interna- tional boundary the situation today was quiet.
 El Paso, Tex, September 17-Gen. Roque Gonzales Garza and Gen. Manuel Chao left today for Washington to repre- sent the convention government before the pan American conferees.

Laymen's Movement Plans

active relation to this, so that even
more strictly than was true five years
ago this nationwide Campaign" will
be tied up to the denominations, and
will be in relation to all other re-
ligious movements.
Apparently the men of the country
like the flavor of concerted activity.
This is proved by the growth of the
Adult Bible Glass Movement, and by
the readiness of the men to respond
en- mass to the summons to denomina-
tional mems conventions. Indeed, no
phase of American church life is more
significant than this growth of what
may be called mass consciousness
among the men, expressing itself en-
tirely aside from the usual ecclesias-
tical channels.
Home and Foreign Missions United
Five years ago the Home and For
eign Mission interests of the churches
of the United States were, generally
speaking. going their separate ways.
The present campaign of the Laymen's s
Missionary Movement includes both
departments. And the Home and For
eign Mission Boards of the various
denominations are contributing their
best speakers and workers for this
series of meetings. Preliminary and
follow-up work along denominational
lines will be done in each city.
Five separate teams of speakers Will

meeting of the series will be held in
Buffalo, October 1920. and the cul-
mination will be national mission
ary congress" to be held in Washing
ton April 26-90.
The previous campaign averaged
one thousand registered delegates to
each convention. This one because of
the steadily increasing accession of in
terest in missions and mems work of
the churches is expected to be larger,
and the number of cities has been in
creased twenty-five per cent The ex-
penses of the campaign are met by
an@enrolment fee of one dollar for
each delegate.
Men Moving in a Mass
OF late years there have been sew
eral of these movements" in the
country, which have become more
steadily related to the united church
work. The elimination of the trend
toward cooperation was the recent

age three days in length, although
some go one day longer.
Striking at the Cities
The tentative list of convention
cities has now been made public by
the Laymen's Movement and local
committees are at work preparing for
the conventions. Each of these cities
is in turn the center of considerable
area from which delegates will be
brought. The aim is to cover the en-
tire country. The Harrisburg meet
ings will be held February 1922.
Lay:len's Leader Leaves
The recent announcement that the
general secretary of the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement. DR.. J. Campbell
White, has accepted the presidency of
Wooster College, Ohio, has raised the
question whether this would interfere
with the national campaign, which
was of his planning and organization.
Announcement has been made from
headquarters that the meetings will go
on as planned, and that DIR. White
will speak at as many of them as any
other one man. His successor in the
Laymen's Movement has not yet been
appointed. He himself says that he
feels that he should give himself
henceforth to the training, through
educational work, of leaders for Chris
tian service. Wooster is his alma
mater.
The effect of the war upon world
conditions has been so sweeping, that
an entire new set of speeches will
have to be made by the various lead
ers. and new and unforeseen problems
must be faced in the light of the un-
precedented world conditions.
