General Rojas, one OF Carranzas ablest

The revolt at Ojinaga was regarded
here as adding a serious aspect to the
situation. The American authorities
have feared that Carranza's officers
would be unable to control their men,
and it was because of this fear that prep.
arations were made for sending strong
