CARRANZA TO COOPERATE

Washington-The United States
agreement with the de facto govern
ment OF Mexico under which Ameri-
can troops will cross the border TO
hunt down Villa and his bandits with
the expectation OF hearty cooperation
from the Carranza forces.
Secretary Lansing has made pub
lie the text of note accepting Gen
Carranza's proposal for a reciprocal
arrangement between the two govern
ments and announcing that the Uni
ted States held this arrangement to
be now in force and binding on both
parties.
Gen. Funston will carry out his
task under this agreement.
Mr.. Lansing also made public
statement, ISSUED In the name OF
President Wilson, reterating that
every step being taken by the admin
istration was based on the deliberate
intention to preclude the possibility
of armed Intervention in Mexico.
The note TO Carranza defines the
terms of the agreement beyond the
possibility OF misconstruction. In
brief, II provides that where condi-
tions arise on the American side OF
the border similar TO those at Co
lumbus. which led TO the orders 10
Gen. Funston TO enter Mexico the
same privilege will be accorded to
the Mexican de facto government
without the necessity of further
exchange Of views. IL is clearly stat
ed. however. that the bandits to be
pursued on American soil by Mexi-
can troops must have come from the
American side. committed the depre-
dations on the Mexican side and fled
back again to United States territory.
There is no such instance on rec
ord In recent years.

fantry attack in force.
In the fighting around Verdun an
artillery duel Of great intensity is
under way on both sides of the Meuse
