Ell PASO. Texas. June 22.-Rein-
forcements were rushed today to the
aid of the Tenth cavalry, victims of
an ambush by MeXicans in which forty
Americans are reported to have been
killed and seventeen known to have
been captured. General Pershing has
sent a body of additional troops to the
10th general headquarters. according
to word received here. El PasO and
the army headquarters were still anx-
iously awaiting today full report of
the fight near Carrizal.
The Mexican authorities profess
complete ignorance OF the extent of
Mexican casualties in the battle which
followed ambushing of the Negro
troopers Of five companies of the
Tenth. Latest reports are that the
troopers were lured into the hamlet of
Carrizal under a flag Of truce yester-
day. They stuck to their claim that
there were forty Americans killed and
seventeen captured.
Realizing that war may come as a
result Of the treacherous killing Of
the Americans by the Carranzista
forces, General Francisco Gonzales,
the de facto commandant at Juarez, Op-
posite El PasO, was preparing to eva
cuate that town. Preparing for any
contingency. General Bell. in command
of the American troops in this section,
moved his men forward. planted artil-
lery where II swept the Mexican city
in range, and even ordered prelimin-
airy entertainments around the Texas
town. The mesa overlooking Juarez
bristled with a battery of the big Az
inch American guns.
From reports received by State De-
partment agents, mining companies
and the Carran2ista officials here, it
appears that five troops of the Tenth
cavalry were on scout duty near Car
rial when they were discovered by
Carranzista outpOsts. These Mexican
troopers hastened back to the hamlet
General Felix Gomez. commanding the
de facto troops in the town, ordered
machine guns secreted on the roofs
Of houses and hid his men behind
adobe walls A small company Of
MeXicans was sent to the western part
OF the town to wave a flag of truce.
The unsuspecting American cavalry
men rode into the ambush. When the
Mexicans opened fire from their ma
chine guns. the negro troopers fought
back like fiends. General Gomez was
killed, his body literally riddled with
American bullets.
The Americans charged the unseen
MeXicans in an effort to recatpure
several of their number and inflicted
heavy casualties. the unofficial re-
ports states. They were finally forced
to retire, in face of vastly superior
Mexican forces.
The American column was reported
to number 500 while Gomez is report
ed TO have had several thousand men
under his command. The fighting con-
tinued two hours, the Carranzistas
being meanwhile reinforced from the
large Carranzista forces in villa
Ahumada.
Messages received here early today
by mining Companies, said the Mexi-
can losses were double those sustain

TO list Stores that
Give half HOLIDAY

The half-holiday committee of the
Consumers League is working on the
list of stores granting a half-holiday

hoped that the list will be ready for
publication by the end OF the week II

members Of the league. in connection
with the League Bulletin.
While the list is not as long as had
heen expected. the league is much en-
couraged by the personal interviews
with the various merchants. and the
prospects for next year seem brighter
than ever before.
1t is almost impossible for the
members of the committee to visit in
person every firm in the city and il
would be greatly appreciated if those

MEXICO CITY, June 22.-Mexican
officials today resented the tone Of the
American note and pointed out what
they declared to be fallacies in Presi-
dent Wilson's argument. The text Of
the note had not been made public at
an early hour today. General Car
rama and his cabinet studied the
communication in a lengthy special
session yesterday. denying themselves
to all visitors. No formal statement
was given out. but The United Press
today obtained the views OF a number
of Mexican officials who know the
contents of the note. Summed up,
the Mexican attitude is as follows:
Regarding President Wilson's refusal
to withdraw troops under the terms of
the order issued sending them into Mex
leo. their presence on Mexican soil is
no longer justified or logical. The order
from the head of the American army
distinctly stated that the expedition
sole object was the arrest or death of
Villa and the dispersal of his band.
That Villa is dead is generally believed
here. since three months have elapsed
since anyone has seen him. and If alive
it is not believed possible by men who
know him that he would be able to hold
bimself IN check. His small force long
ago was dispersed and the only reason
for keeping troops in Mexico is thus re-
moved. The American troops would be
much better employed in patrolling the
border 10 keep out raiding bandits.
rather than concentrated in a small dis
trict as at present, leaving large areas
unguarded.

tutionalist troops have not co-operater

Mexicdns Resent Wilson Note.
Deny Raids by ConsfifufionaIisfs

and on the occasion of the first advance
of American troops into Mexico. Gen.
eral Obregon. minister of war, asked in
formation concerning the plans of u,
American expedition in order 4 he
might cooperate with Genera ,'ersh
ing's forces. This information was re
fused, leaving him unable to take sucli
measures except at a great disadvan
tage
We Indignantly deny that Carran-
zista soldiers have taken part in
raids. except on their own initiative.
Furthermore, no soldiers now belong
ing TO the Constituticnalist army par
ticipated i'm any raids.
THE fact that one raider was
found with an old Constitutional COM
mission in his pocket is not good
proof OF President Wilson's conten-
ton. II is not just to blame the
Mexican authorities for such sporadic
acts. The statement that some Of the
raiders were COnstitutionalists is
ridiculous since there is no distinc-
tive garb for any Mexican force. The
troops generally wear the same kind
Of khaki clothes worn by workingmen
all over the country.
while full information is not at
hand. reports of anti-American
demonstrations in other parts Of
Mexico. probably have been greatly
exaggerated by the American press.
There have been two days of patriotic
manifestations in Mexico City without
the molestation of any person or
building"
