it was a grave question whether such
a raid as that on Columbus was not
sufficient evidence of the inability of
the Carranza government to deal with
the situation to warrant sending
American troops over the line.
The raid started a new agitation in

tack was proof of their repeated dec
larations that the Carranza govern
ment was imp otent to deal with the
