Juarez Deserted.
JuareZ was practically evacuated
tonight by CarranZa troops, de On
mandica was almost deserted, the
wireless station was dismantled, the
collector of customs and General Con-
zales, commandment, had left for the
interior, and only few scattering
military patrols were in evidence in

Pershing's only information was

the United States, the report from
the Mexican sources, supplemented

throuh Villa Ahumada had been able
to learn.
General Funston remained fixed in
his determination that until the Off

the border commanders.

Cavalry were sent out by Genera!
Pershing to get in touch with. the
remnants of the Tenth Cavalry, en-
gagged in the fight, but when he filed
his latest report no word had come
from the relief force -.
The distance to the scene of the en-
gagement was calculated as being al
most 80 miles out, instead of 60, when
full allowance was made for the
crooked trail. General Pershing told
General Funston that all of his men
had received explicit orders to not
do anything that might precipitate a
fight. g q
