When the chicken wants to pick up
food it is compelled to stretch apart
its legs and swing its whole body for

this spring when he brought the little
chick into the house to keep it warm
after a cold rain.

II IL were a deliberate attempt to
back up the Carran2a edict by force
there seems little doubt that President
Wilson will accept it as an act of war
and make good his word in the latest
communication to the de facto gov
ernment in which he said that any
such attempt would be followed by
the gravest consequences"
Whatever the outcome of the Off
,cial investigation, however, II was ad-
mitted on every hand that the incl
dent IN itself presented q grave me-
mace to the continuance of friendly re-
lations and brought the Mexican stu-
alton to perhaps the most serious
stage it has assumed in the many
months Of uncertainty.
Report of Clash Believed
President Wilson remained at his
office until late tonight receiving such
meager information on the subject as
was available. Secretary Baker was
in close touch with the war depart
ment and the White House by tele-
phone There was every evidence
that credence was given the report
of the clash though the report came
from Mexico sources and there was
fun realization Of what it might
mean. The Mexican story of the
fight as given TO General Bell by Con-
sui Garcia at I'll Paso WAS forwarded
to the war department by General
Funston without comment. The word
ing Of the dispatch led to the an
nouneement by department officials
that the reports had received con-
firmatlon from American sources.

A complete copy. however, revealed
that General Ben had no information
except that given him by the Mexican

Mexican Numbers Unknown.

The Americans engaged are thought to have
been members of troop from the Tenth cavalry,
La negro regiment, returning from a scouting trip
to Guzman. The size of the Mexican force whose
commander, General Felix Gomez, was killed, is
not known.
News Of the battle was received in Juarez early
this afternoon by General Francisco Gonzales,
Carranza commander of the military zone of the
border. For some reason or other General Con-
zaes kept the story secret until late in the after
noon when an American, {. Huppel, returning
to the border from the Interior brought to FL
Paso the news that he had seen numbers of Mexi-
can dead along the Mexican Central railroad
track at Villa Ahumada and had been told that
there had been an encounter with the "gringos."
Americans Are Blamed
General Gonzales first step after confirming
the news was to issue statement placing the
blame on the American commander He charged
that the American troops fired first the Mexi-
cans and that their shots were directed at cour-
er who had just presented to them request that
they retire.
American army officers declared absolute dis
belief tonight in General Gonzales assertions.
The opinion was expressed that if the Americans
fired on the Mexicans they did so because it was
necessary in order to insure their own Satetv Cen
