Removal of Irevino
Puzzles the American
Officers on Border

Washington, July 23.-General Jacinto
Trevino, commander of the Carranza
forces in northeastern Mexico. has been
ordered to Mexico City and will be sue
ceeded. at least temporarily by Gen. Luis
Herrera, commander of the Chihuahua
City garrison Dispatches to the war de-
partment today from Gen. Bell reporting
the transfer contained no explanation as
to the cause. Army officers here were
plainly surprised at such an important
change a this time.
Gen. Trevino has personally directed
the campaign against bandits in Chihua-
hua and it is said to be largely because
of his efforts that the Carranza soldiers
have continued their operations against
Villa and other outlaw leaders on such a
broad scale. For that reason some regret
over the transfer was expressed here,
though officials said they were confident
that Gen. Herrera would use every re-
source at his command to continue the
campaign.

The police have a record of IS wom-
