Delay In Carranza's Reply Believed t.
be Intentional.

Ell Paso, July Fear is felt that
delay in answering Sun
days ultimatum is for the purpose
OF allowing time for Mexican soldiers
to be placed in the strongest positions
around Gen. Pershing's force. The
Mexicans are being reinforced in that
region. Militia trains are arriving
nourly with many pieces OF field ar
tillery and big guns from east which
are being detrained and set up for
use.
