New Crisis lmpends.

While Carranza leaders and the
United States military authorities have
succeeded thus far in avoiding any
friction, there is one serious question
which may arise at any time to threat
en- the entire situation. AS the lines
of communication of the American
force lengthen the problem Of bringing
up supplies becomes increasingly more
pressing.
To grant the United States permis-
sion to use the Mexican railroads for
shipping supplies, it is thought here,
may be misconstrued by many Mexi-
cans. On the other hand, a refusal
would scarcely harmonic with the pro-
fessed desire of the Carranza Govern
ment to cooperate in every way with
the American authorities. The ar
rival of this crisis is being anxiously
awaited on both sides of the border.
