General Pershing. according to the
telegram, contracted with these broth

plies and the three cars ordered from
the United States were to replenish
their stock
Senator Fall expressed great con-
Germ over the incident and urged that

rartment.
The senator's message also said
there was great uneasiness in Ell
Paso because of the large Mexican
population in this city. among them
many former Villa followers. An at
tack, he said, was not so much feared
as incendiarism. In FL Paso, he said.
there were only three or four hundred
soldiers while directly across the line
were 500 Carranza troops and in the
immediate vicinity across the Mexican
border from $500 to 5000 Carranza
soldiers.
