No Consideration Yet.

Thus far there has been no consld-
Grafton of sending militia TO re-enforce
the border patrol or the punitive expe-
dition.
From Secretary Bakers statement, Il
seemed likely that while the Big Bend
incident Is annoying. II has not thus
far given cause for genuine alarm or
yet a change In policy toward Mexico.
Every attempt will be made to cap
ture and punish the bandits who killed
three United States troopers and a ten
year-old boy at Glenn Springs, Tex,
Friday night. after fording the Rio
The big element In renewed attacks
, against border towns Is that they came
from points General Csrranza had per-
sistently claimed to control.
Persons In close touch with the Mex
lean embassy declared the raids were
directed from the American side of the
border to embrass matters while the
ri Paso peace pact was under negotia-
ton. Magunistes. followers of Jesus Ma
gun. they thought. might be responsible.
In other quarters, thought, the belief
was that men. nominally Carranzistas,
had broken down their control and swept
over the boundary.
Fail To See Significance.
Administration leaders refused to be-
Iieve that the raids were significant OF
a general anti-American feeling among
Mexicans. In this connection, they
pointed out that Carranzistas and Unit
ed States soldiers helped each other in
the latest attack against Villistas in
Chihuahua, while several Mexican gov
errors had proclaimed against anti
Americanism.
Further evidence of desire to CO.
operate with the Americans was seen
In Carranza's acquiescence In the Ell
Paso peace pact essentials.
General Funston has a considerable
force already In pursuit Of the raiders.
Crossing of the border under the recent
protocol arrangement will undoubtedly
be necessary.
At the same time. the border patrol
probably will be rearrarged to give
stronger protection to the Big Bend
country. Heretofore. the War Depart
ment has felt that scattered detnch-
ments were sufficient for that region
because II Is sparsely settled. and Goa
