CARRANZA CONCENTRATING
Mexico At Nacoraxi Causes Tense
Situation Along the Border.

Douglas, Ariz-Between 700 and 500
Carranza soldiers have left Aqua Pri-
eta, across the border from here, for
Nacorazi, 70 miles south, where Gen.
Gales is apparently concentrating his
available troops, drawing them in
from the border. In addition to the
troops, more than ten trains Of sup.
plies have been sent south, including
food and ammunition and forage. the
large depot at Aqua Prieta being prac-
tically deuuded. It is also reported
that the garrison at Ell Tigre has been
given orders to march overland to
Nacorazi at an hours notice.
During the past week a total OF
about 1000 soldiers have been gath
cred by the Carranza military govern.
or at Nacorazi. The purpose of this
concentration Of troops is not known
here.
Officials of the American govern.
ment in Douglas and the Mexican OFF,
Gals in Aqua Prieta, Sonora, admitted
that the military was tense.

German submarine torpedoed the
Norwegian bark Silius, from which
v Americans were rescued in
Hayre roads.
The German government is repre-
scented here as believing that a tor
pedo was not responsible for the loss
of the bark and that any commander
who attacks a neutral ship such as
the Silius without warning would be
exceeding his instructions.
The sinking of the Silius has been
the cause of much concern here, be-
cause American Consul Osborne at
Havare reported that the ship was tor
pedoed without warning. His report
was based on statements of Amer
lean survivors. Officials are inclined
to entertain the possibility that the
ship might have struck a mine, but
the case is being investigated fur

Mexico City.-Gen. Carranza has is.

ing that under no circumstances
would the Mexican government grant
the right to the United States to vio-
late Mexican territory by sending an
armed force in pursuit of Villa with
out consent and the reciprocal privi-
lege of being first obtained and adj
mitted.
Word was sen to the. confidential
agent Of the Mexican government liz
Washington to make immediate repre-.
sensations to this effect.
Gen. Carranza. says in his mani.
festo:
81 am sure that l interpret in this
matter the national sentiment and
that the Mexican people will comply
in a dignified ann with their duty,
be the sacrifices what they may, to
sustain their rights and sovereignty,
If. unfortunately, this drags us into a
war-a war which the United State
can never justify. We will not b. re

Ell Paso, Texas.-Through the thick

Funston sufficient information has
leaked. that the advance guard of the
first expeditionary force in pursuit
OF Villa has actually crossed the Dor.
der. According to the report Gen.
Pershing's advanced guard crossed

While the border waited in keen ex-
pectancy for word that United States
soldiers had crossed the information.
al line, reports flowed in from Mex.
ica ources that Mexico's arch ban
dit already had been surrounded by
Carranza troops. The first chief"
apparently was making strenuous eff
forts to anticipate the Americans and
was reported from several sources to
have concentrated more than 10,
troops at different points along the
Casas Grandes region, in Chihuahua,
where Villa is supposed to be.
A number of motion picture men
who hurried from here early in the
belief that the crossing was about to
be effected, returned disappointed.
They reported that Gen. Pershing, in
command of the expedition, had is
sued positive orders that no picture
could be taken.

ACCEPT CARRANZA'S PLAN.
Either Country Can Cross Border
hunting For Bandits.

Washingten.-The United States
government has entered into a formal
agreement with the de facto govern
ment of Mexico under which American
troops will cross the border to hunt
down Villa and his bandits, with the
expectation of hearty cooperation
from the CarranZa forces.
Secretary Lansing made public the
text of a note accepting Gen. Carran-
za's proposal for a reciprocal arrange
ment between the two governments
and announcing that the United States
held this arrangement to be now in
force and binding upon both parties.
Gen. Funston will carry out his task
under this agreement.
Plans for the troop movements have
gone ahead without regard to the dip
lomatic exchanges.
Mr.. Lansing also made public a state
ment issued in the name of President
Wilson reiterating that every step be-
ing taken by the administration was
based on the deliberate intention to
preclude the possibility of armed in
t~ervention in Mexico.

WILL INCREASE THE ARMY
GOO Men to Present Force For Pro-
lection to Border.

Washington.-A joint resolution au-
thorizing the president to bring the
regular army up to full strength by
adding 19,447 men to existing organ
izations has been passed in the house
without objection or debate and with
but one dissenting vote.
Representative Hay, chairman of
the military committee, had asked for
immediate consideration of the reso-
luton, saying the step vas necessary
on account of demands of citizens
along the border for additional pro-
lection during the march of the punt
tive expedition into Mexico. There
was no objection and the resolution
was passed in five minutes.
On the viva voce vote one may"
was heard. Minority leader Mann
demanded a rising vote, which re-
suited in 236 to 1, Representative Lon
don, Socialist, Of New York, voting in
the negative.
Representative Hay told the house
the administration had recommended
this plan rather than call for the mil
itia or volunteers. The president
wanted to allay any suspicion, he
said, that the government sought to
accomplish anything in the Mexican
expedition except the pursuit of Villa.

AMERICANS ON SHIP SUNK,
Sinking Of Norwegian Vessel May Re,
vive Submarine issue-ls regard
ed As Serious.

Washington--Secretary Lansing has
instructed Consul Osborn at Havrc,
France, to forward Immediately all
available details of the sinking in
Havre Roads OF the Norwegian bark
Silius, from which seven American Cit
liens were rescued. Consul Osborn
previously reported that the SiIius was
torpedoed without warning on the
night of March g..
II a torpedo did destroy the barE.
which vas bound to Havre from New
York with grain, the government re-
sponsibfe will be held to strict A.
count.
Officials seemed inclined,
to refrain from forming an opinion IN
til it was known positively that a tor
pedO and not a mine sunk the ship.
Should Consul Osborn's investiga-
ton establish that a torpedo actually
was responsible, the United States, of.
ficials indicated, would view the mat
ter as ever more serious than if Il
passenger carrying vessel was involv-
ed. The State Department considers
that American eamen have oven d
greater claim to protection thar pas
sengers. A passenger travels at his
discretion, while a seaman is COMPEL
ed to do so by his occupation.
So far dispatches to the State De-
partment have simply said the vessel
was torpedoed without warning.

any situation that might arise in its
relations with Mexico, while Senator
