gagement had not been reported by
General Pershing and General Funston

At Casas SGrandes enough troops

Failure to secure immediate permis-
sion to send supplies over the North
western railroad caused headquarters
to continue to route supplies via Co
lumbus for transportation to Casas
Grandes by automobile trucks. -.
Failure to hear from General Fer
shing sharpened the interest OF those
at General Fsunston's headquarters to-
day but did not arouse any anxiety
It was pointed out that the cavalry de-
tac'hsz1;ents reported last 1i.S:s:, moving
along three trails out of Casas Grandes'
were out Of communication other than
that by signal corps and that Gen
eral Pershing probably would receive
no report until after some delay.
