WASHINGTON. March 20.-General
carranza Monday replied to the Amer
lean governments request for use of
Mexican railroad lines for movement
of supplies to the punitive expedition,
with request for more complete In
formation what the war department
wants. General Carranza's reply was

nation hc asks will be furnished.
1t was understood General Car
rama wants information OF the ex-
tent TO which the United States ex-
poets to use the railroads and prob
ably assurances that the line is to be
used only for furnishing supplies. Adj
ministration officials realize that Car
rama Is dealing With a difficult public
sentiment In Mexico and that use OF
the railroads by American troops
might lead to friction.
II Is believed Carranza Is faynrably
inclined to the request His reply was
forwarded from Quererato.

trained here. q large part Of which

westward along the border. Soldiers
were kept busy throughout the day
preparing combat and hospital trains
and carrying equipment TO the field
force.
One Of the problems which the
commlssary department at the mill
tary base has been striving desperate
ly to solve Is that Of supplies with
which to feed the troops. For sew
oral years the internal strife in Mexi-
CO has practically stiaed the agrtcul-
tural interests of that district in Mex
leo, through which the American
troops are believed to be passing. AS
a result neither food for the men nor
forage for the animals can be OBJ
tanned in Mexico and must be trans
ported from here.
