istration officials regard General Car
ranza's proposal as favorable. 1t seems
to indicate. that he will not protest
against American troops on Mexican
soil as had been feared. Practically
such a reciprocal arrangement prob
ably never would result in a single
Carranza soldier crossing the line as
The possibility of bandits taking refuge
in American territory is considered
remote.
1t is realized that such an arrange
ment, however. would go far to satisfy
General Carranza and permit him to
comply with popular sentiment in
Mexico. There was no indication early
today how the proposal would be re-
ceived hut q Is known that the admin
istration realizes the necessity Of
avoiding a breach with Carranza II
the Mexican situation Is not to grow
into the status of armed Intervention.
Up to noon today no American
troops actually had crossed 80 far as
was known here and 1t was believed
none would start moving before the
night. All arrangements hFs utiuE
left in the hands of Major General
Funston.
Villa was reported today moving to
the southeast with not more than 3nN
men. Last nights reports gave his
force as 5000, but that ia believed
to include sympathizers In his terri
tory. BY his movements southeast
