At Ners Ranch 20 Miles from Marathon-Battle Across the
Rio Grande

toward Boquillas, on the Rio Grande
are camped tonight at Millers ranch,
troops of the 14th Cavalry and a ma
chine gun troop that left the Marathon

trate at Bouquillas, where Col w. F..
Sibley, who is in command, will, after
a conference with Maj. George T.

l!eved several Mexicans were hit.
Capt. Cole informed Col Sibley that
there were several large bodies of ban
dts, probably 500 in all. operating along
the south side of the Rio Grande. He
said he was convinced that there were
many Mexican sympathizers with the
bandits on the American side who were
cooperating with them.
II went to Glenn Springs Sunday and
with a detachment of men secuted the
Rio Grande carefully between Boquillas
and San Vincento I am convinced that
there are no organized bodies on the
American side Of the river" said Capt.
Cole. There are several on the Mexican
side. At Tajitas there is a body Of 200
Mexicans, while another of 200 or so Villa
bandits is making south for Boquillas.

found but there were undoubtedly others

zens may be afforded and a nucleus
of volunteer army thus be built up
Under the House bill as it stands,
thousands Of civilian training camps
might be instituted under direction of
the secretary Of war;
1t was predicted tonight that the
conferees would agree on a regular
standing army with a peace strength
of $4,000 or 100000 men, with the SEN
ats expansive organization system
which would make possible recruiting
to strength Of 100000 in time of need.
The conferees also are expected to
agree to the main features of the
House bill regarding the reorganiza-
ton and liberalization of the National
Guard, thus providing fer a defense
reserve of approximately 100000 men,
The House amendment for a nitrate
plant probably will be accepted.
