Suggestions to carranza.

[By Carl d. Groat, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May S.-Repre-
sentations have been made to the Car
rama government regarding the Mex
lean raid against the Big Bend coun-
try,
A state department message to
General Carranza suggested that he
do all in his power to prevent re-
currenee.
Further it suggested a readjust-
ment OF Carranza forces would be
advisable. so that scattered bands
could not again cross the Rio Grande.
The state department message as
sumed Carranza will do all he can to
guard against fresh attacks.
The Big Bend raids. and rumors of
Villista activities caused halt in
yesterdays conference between Cen
erals Scott ana Oregon over the FL
Paso peace pact. Scott notified the
war department today.
| Another conference was scheduled
| for today.
| SCOTS message said ii was deemed
best to ascertain fully the effect OF
Villas last raid before proceeding
with negotiations. Whether these
activities will mean still further de-
lay is not known.
Secretary Baker received from
Funston a report OF his plan TO round
up the Big Bend raiders together
with certain recommendations for
future action, but declined TO make
the details public. Funston Is EN-
powered to deal with the situation
as he sees fit in so far as disposIti
OF troops is concerned. Hence he

American troops in pursuit of the
Glenn Springs raiders, General Scott
and War Minister Obregon planned
to meet here tolay as scheduled and
sign the International agreement to
solve the Mexican situation. Oh, egon
presented Carranza's approval Sunday
and arrangements were made Tor tho
concentrating conference today. I'm
Official, but definite, statements from
authoritative sources said there was
little likelihood OF a break in the in
ternational plan because of the Glenn
Springs outrage Officials regarded
situation and not as Dominating
factor.
Scott and General Funston ragged
when news of the raid was received
here, while Mexican officials were Wis.,
IDLY worried or frankly scared. Fun
ston got busy at once, sending two
troops OF the Fourteenth cavalry from
Fort Clark to Marathon and two
troops OF the Eighth cavalry from Ell
Paso under Major Laghorne, bound
for the same concentration point. A
permanent campaign is contem plated,
according to indications here, The
forces leaving Ell Paso carried water
wagons. indicating hard drive across
the desert is contemplated.
Marathon. eighty-five miles from
the border, already has become the
second military base. But II the
Mexicans have moved across the Dor
der again, as seems likely today, the
operations may not be on a large
scale from that point.
Mexican officials today stated the
Ell Paso agreement provides that each
nation may send troops one hundred
miles across the border after the
bandits in case of raids. This was
urged as one reason for speedy sign
Ing OF the agreement today despite
the fact that a second American ex-
petition is on its way to invade
Mexico.
Though Carranza assented to the
plan, his approval was contingent
upon minor changes suggested in dis
patches from the Mexican capital.
Scott and Funston refused fatty to
make any alterations, pointing out
that Obregon, armed with diplomatic
authority had approved the entire
plan during the second conference.
The balance of their two hour con-
ference yesterday was given over to
discussion of the Glenn Springs raid.
Obregon detailed measures Carranza
is taking toward the raiders and to
punish the offenders after they have
been caught Prompt execution is
promised convicted bandits.
The Glenn Springs fight was not
entirely unexpected. Faint rumors
that the settlement had been singled
out for attack preceded the outburst
for several days.

VOLUNTEER
PROVISION RETAINED

Washington, April S.-The senate
retained the federal volunteer provi-
sion in the army bill by vote of Sc
to "a, rejecting Senator Lees amend
ment to strike the section from the
bill. The vote ended four-day de-
bate on the section.
Advocates Of the national guard as
the first line Of defense behind the
regular army supported the amend
ment vigorously and the struggle was
one of the hardest fought in the SEN
ate at this session of congress.
1t began after the defeat of the
military committee last week when a
proposal to create national guard
section of the army general staff was
written into the bill.
The narrow margin by which the
federal volunteer provision was re-
tanned makes it doubtful that it will
be in the measure finally framed by
