provides for rapid action at points
along the border should new rebel
lions in Mexico make it necessary.
General Funston was not altogether
convinced of the truth of the report
that General Luis Herrera. the de-
posed military leader at Chihuahua
had entered in the field with Villa
against the United States, but the re-
petition of the report and the absence
of acceptable evidence to the contrary
caused the general and his staff to
regard it as probably true.
The censorship imposed at FL Paso
by General Bell was done without or
ders from headquarters here. but it is
known that General Bell has authority
to go far in the exercise of his own
judgment in meeting an extraordinary
situation.
State officers of General Funston
studied more extended area OF
North Mexico to-day. The probable
moves of Herrera and his 1000 men
We're carefully considered and at every
point along the border, note was taken
of the positions of American troops
and the time ii would take to move
them to meet any situation. Army
officers believe that if Herrera has re-
volted his activities will be confined

General Funston hopes to receive
permission to move supplies to the
American troops now almost 200
miles into Mexico. To prevent this
move General Funston is powerless
and it is doubted if Carranza's troops
are in position to oppose Herrera.
Reports at headquarters that Gen
eral Gavira's garrison at Juarez was
about to revolt and that the troops al
Torreon were manifesting disaffection
We're regarded with apprehension at
the fort. The Mexican consul here
continued to deny their truth and re-
iterated his assertion that Herrera had
not taken the field.
