TROOPS SUMMONED BY THE

ofCarranza

Washington, May 9.-After an early
conference with Secretary Lansing to-
day Eliseo Arredondo, General Car
ranza's ambassador, said he had told
the secretary there is not an iota of
truth" in reports from the border that
General Obregon had demanded the
withdrawal of American troops. The
ambassador denied also that Mexican
troops had been disposed during the
Ell Paso conference so as to threaten
General Pershing's line of communic2-
ton.
Mr.. Arredondo asked that increased
vigilance be kept by the American Dor
der patrols against attacks by the enc
mics of General CarranZa, who were
trying to force them into war by Dor
der raids.
The de facto government" Mr.. Ar
redondo said, has official and accu-
rate information that the attack on
Glenn Springs was organized in the
United States. 1t is feared that other
similar movements might occur.

Mr.. Arredondo declared Antonio Viii
lareal was the principal instigator of
the Glenn Springs raid. according to
his information. Villareal recently
visited Neuvo Laredo, he said, in an
effort to foment mutiny in the Car
rama garrison. The ambassador de-
scribed the object of these factionists
as being in accord with the Magon pro-
paganda in Mexico, which he said was
a radical organization with which Viii
lareal had been affiliated 20 years.
Secretary Lansing promised to dis
cuss that feature with Secretary
Baker. Before the conference at the
state department had concluded, how
ever, Secretary Baker had announced
the presidents decision to send the ad-
ditional troops to General Funston.
