SOLDIERS HAVE CROSS.
ED BORDER.
Mcxicans Surprised Americans and
Opened Fire on Them Without
Warning-Thrcc Americans Killed
and Five McXicans Die, While
Others Were Wounded Oh Both
Sides.

Brownsville, Texas, Oct. 21.-Re-
ports to army headquarters here to-
night indicated that at least q ma
jority Of the bandits who carly today
attacked the United States border pa
troll at OjO del Aqua eluded pursuit
in the dense brush and have recrossed
into Mexico where Carranza troops
were reported searching for the out
laws. Late tonight no arrest had been
reported.
According to official reports the
band which attacked the troops at Ojo
del Aqua, about 60 miles northwest
of Brownsville, was composed Of about
80 men. Before the sentry could
warn the other ID mon of the detach-
ment, the Mexicans opened fire.
Serget. Shafer, who was In command
Of the detachment, and two other
troopers were killed and eight wound
ed before the Mexicans retreated leav-
ing five of their number dead and it
is believed taking with them several
wounded. The body of Japanese
was found near by, but it could not
be established whether he was one of
the band. All the wounded Ameri-
cans were expected to recover.
Another small band Of raiders was
put to flight about 80 miles up the
river from this city by civilian posses.
Shots were exchanged but none was
wounded on either side.
Reports of raid near Sebastian
were discredited tonight. According
to information received here a party
of Mexican cowboys were mistaken
for bandits.
Requests that demands be made
upon the Carranza government for
q more adequate patrol of the Mexi-
can side of the Rio Grande were tele-
grabbed to. Washington tonight.
County Judge Yates, in a telegram to
tho state department, charged that
Carranza soldiers were furnishing the
bandits with arms and ammunition
and urged that an embargo be placed
on munitions crossing the border. An
other telegram. signed by Mayor
Browne Of Brownsville and a COM
mittee of citizens, asserted that no
bona fide effort was being made by
Mexican officials to apprehend the
outlaws.
The soldiers at the Mexican settle
ment were members of Troop G, Thirl
cavalry, and Of Company D, signal
corps.
Capt. Mccoy took two troops OF
cavalry. totaling about GO men, to
the rescue and the Mexicans fled.
During the last month Capt. Nc
Coy has received several reports of
bandits gathering on the Mexican
side of the river. On two or three
occasions Mexicans have come across
to warn the soldiers that they heard
bandits would cross to raid.

looked about and began studying con ditions in that energetic way which is so much of her personality. She observed that the working women of this city were in a pitiable state. She called several meetings of the girls in leading factories.
 Last Monday 5000 girls employed at Warner Bros. Co. walked out in the largest strike that women had ever held in this city. This was the first real announcement that Mary ScuIIy was in town. After the walk out at Warner Bros. strikes came thick and fast in all lines of trade in which women are employed They are still doraing and Miss Scully promises that they will come until every fac tory in Bridgeport is organized, until the 26,OO0 women workers of this town are members of unions, until they are alive to the possibilities of organized labor and keen to many things toward which tEey have until now held apathetic views.
 In the future Mary Scul1y will prob ably be spoken of as one who aWak- ened the working women of Connecti- cut For years the Suffragists have been trying to do it but with little success It took Mary Scu1ly just one week.
 She will also probably be accredited with abo1ishing child labor. She has already gained that at Warner Bros. and will accomplish the same in the other factories of the community
 An indication of her determination arc the expressions she uses when speaking. She never says, We want

 Speaking of a factory which she had not yet had time to do anything about she said: We'll get them. You can say that we're going to get them
 It is this determination and enthu- siasm which makes her so immensely popular and enables her to accomplish so much. Her manner of speaking Ats neither radical, nor oVerwrought with feeling. She talks to the people in lan- guage that they can understand, not always troubling about the grammar or pronunciation.
 Incidently, she does not limit her working hours to eight. She admitted yesterday that she had had two hours sleep the previous night, and that she was willing to work 50 hours a day to help the workers
 (@'Since o'clock this morning, 5000 women have walked out in this city, " said Mary Scully yesterday. What 9 force this woman has become in the community:-this conquering spirit of 26, 900 women!
 Although she is known as Miss ScuIly,'' she is a widow and in spite of her various activities about the coun- try has had time to raise five children, one of whom is son, 21 years of age. She uses the title Miss" because she nlingles with so many thousands of working girls.
