SSWere bandits or Carranza troons
y Previously it had been stated bv
Mexican officials, presumably on or
ders from Carranza, that the first
American troops to cross the border
would be attacked.
Fears that a break with Mexico
would come have developed into prac.
tlcal certainty in the last forty-eight
hours. Following General Trevino's
message to General Pershing stating
that any movement of the Americans
except toward the border would be
considered hostile act, word came
that General Carranza is recruiting
all MeXicans above seventeen years
old. Hunt for Villa practically is for
gotten in the face of the new crisis.
Fifty thousand Carranza troops are in
Chihuahua alone. Anti-American de-
monstrations are spreading all over
Mexico, according to advices today.
LAREDO, June 17.-Texas rangers
under command of Capt. ]. J. Sanders,
and several armed citizens were hur-
ried early today to Islitas, 25 miles up
the Rio Grande from Laredo, on a re-
port that Mexican bandits were seen
approaching the settlement. Few de-
tails were available.
General Mann, commanding the
Laredo district, of the border patrol,
has body of troops in that vicinity.
There is an under current of un-
rest, according to reliable reports
here, among the Mexican civilians
and soldiers in the territory between
Montery and Nuevo Laredo. 1t has
become known that General Car
rama has given orders that if Amer
ican soldiers enter those sections of
Mexican territory not already oc-
cupied by American troops it would
be considered an act of war, and the
Mexicans have orders to give battle.
A well-informed Mexican arriving
from the interior of Mexico confirms
reports that more than 5000 Car
rama troops have passed Villaidama,
10 miles south of Laredo, going
northward.
No large bodies are in evidence at
any particular point along the rail
road line, he says, the soldiers being
spread out along the border, some 20
miles inland in moderate sized de-
tachments.

These startling figures contradicting
reports of a decreased supply of Pc
troleum were sent to the senate by
the federal trade commission in a re-
port on its soaring prices.
Another feature of the preliminary
report was the wide variance shown
in gasoline price increase, as COM
pared with the rise Of crude oil. Gaso-
line rose 4.8S cents a gallon In 1915
for middle west refineries and $50 for
eastern while crude oil was advanc-
