The agitators some of them fear, may arouse public opinion to a point where an attempt to eXpel General Pershings s men by force may be under taken. There is nothing to indicate that CarranZa troops will join in such a movement.
 Army officials have no fear for the safety of the American expedition. It is so closely concentrated as to be fully able to defend itself an any emergency and also to lend protection to a wide stretch of the border. No new troop dispositions were in progress today Secretary Baker said, and General Funston's reports have been of a rou- tine character for several days past.
 The spread of the anti American agi- tation may delay the sending of a re- ply to General Carranza's note demand ing recall of the American troops.
