Troops Mass at Juarez

Dl Paso, Tex, May 2o.--It is learned
here that large numbers Of Cnrranzist
troops are being concentrated south
and west Of Juarez.
The Carranza explanation Of the
movement Of 10000 troops into the
state Of Chihuahua is that they are to
replace" the American troops now oc-
cupying portion Of the Mexican state
under command of General Pershing,
although the American forces have not
signff1ed their intention as yet for CIV
Ing up their places to the Carranza
troops.
The troops are being brought north
| 1t is said. to Villa Ahumada. eishty
six miles south ~ ,,,c;itaSx frcals.s :
poinfo they are being cent westward a
| ward the Pcrshing forces, which ar
scattered south In line from Colum
bus, N. M. Some Of the Carrnnxa troops
are also being brought closer to the
border and some are being sent from
Chihuahua City west to point directly
In front of the Pershing column.
Natives coming from the vicinity of
the United States army report that the
Carranza officials are giving 1t ont that
they are driving" the Pershing troops
back into the United States, and these
natives assert that II the Americans
quit Mexico the natives will be made
to understand that the Carranza forces
drove them out.
1t was stated In official quarters that
General Gavira would probably have
4 conference early this week with
General Pershing. It is understood
that General Gavira will go south to
meet the American commander at
Casas Grandes. 1t Is known that
Gavira thinks Pershing should call on
him, as Gavira's rank Is higher than
that of Pershlng, he being a zone"
commander, zone corresponding In
Mexican military parlance to a divi-
sion in the American army, while
Pershing ranks merely as a brigade
commander.
May Be No Conference.
1t may be that the conference will not
take place unless General Pershing
should protest at the manner in which
General Gavira is distributing his
forces. Gavira wired the disposition of
his troops to the American general and
may let matters rest there unless
Pershing protests. Then the conference
might be suggested by Gavira. 1t is
said his chiefs at Mexico City disap-
prove of the conference unless 1t should
appear that General Pershing desires It,
They are anxious, It is asserted, to
make 1t appear before the Mexican
people that they are acting independ-
emily to protect the sovereignty of Mex
leo, and II any conference should be
held they want the Americans to ap-
pear to have asked for the meetings.
Meantime there Is talk Of the Ameri-
can army withdrawing to Colonia Dub
Ian and entirely from Mexico, but the
work of buying road grading machin-
cry goes steadily forward with the
quartermasters and engineers, Just as
II the Americans planned to remain
forever In Mexico.
This is currently reported as having
come as a confidential tip from some
one close to the general staff.
Major Langhorne and his two troops
of the Eighth cavalry returned here
from their chase after the Glen Springs
bandits into Mexico.
General Funston considered military
necessities to warrant the relief of
Major Langhofne,s command SO that II
might return to Ell Paso at this time.
