SIZE AND LOCATION
Of CARRANZA ARMY
SENT BY FUNSTON
Border Commander Gives War
Department Full Details OF
Strength of Mexicans.
KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH

Mai. Gen. Frederick Funston, COM
niander-in chief of the American
forces operating along the border and
in Mexico, has sent to the War De-
partment a complete summary of the
size and location of Carranza troops
in northern Mexico.
The information, which was re-
ceived at the War Department late
last night, was in response to an ur-
gent inquiry prompted by the threat
erfing character of Carranza's latest
note demanding the withdrawal of
the Pershing expedition.
The purpose of the inquiry, II Is ex-
planned in official quarters. was two
fold; first to enable the general staff
TO determine whether any additional
troops should be sent to the border. and.
second. to assist the Administration in
determining to what extent the Car
rama government Is in position to take
over control. of the situation and safe
guard the border against further bandit
raids.
In Close Touch.
Significant of the close watch which
Funston has been keeping on the move
ments Of the Carranza forces is the fact
that he was able to give the department
all the information asked for by return
wire.
According to his report there are at
present 10000 Carranxista troops In the
vicinity of Chihuahua and scattered
over the 500 mile stretch from there to
Ojinaga.
OF this number 1000 are garrisoned in
chihuahua City; 1000 mostly infantry,
are encamped to the south OF that city;
600 more are marching en- route to
MADEIRA. which is just fifty miles from
Pershn's base at Namiquipa; 1000 are
On route for Ojinaga, which Is on the
border near the tip of the Big Bend
section of Texas; and the rest are scat
tered over the intervening country.
Not Bell gerent.
General Funston added that the Car
ranzlstas are not adopting a belligerent
attitude toward the American forces. al
though the number of troops Is twice
that which Obregon agreed to put in the
field to operate against the bandits.
On the contrary, Funston reported
General Trevino, commander of the
Mexican forces, has issued a warning
that any Mexican soldier or civilian who
adopts an insulting attitude toward for
eigners, and particularly Americans, will
be summarily shot.
In consequence of this Funston states
the greatest courtesy Is shown. He was
able to deny press reports that the Mex
leans had entrenched and had erected
barbwlre entanglements.

Officials Hope for Satisfactory
i Outcome of the Submarine
Excitement.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-Slowly but
surely, the state department today
modified information from dozen
sources upon which to base vigorous
action promised by the president re-
garding the sinking of the liner Per
sia. How soon this government can
act could not be predicted by officials.
Difficulties grew in securing the vital
ly necessary information. But before
the end of the week officials believed
the administration will have sufficient
basis to act.
Tension in official quarters was
slightly relaxed. The cooling OF"
period by mere lapse Of time while
awaiting information, was appreciated
as hopeful factor. A slight tinSe or
optimism was manifested. For the
first time since the Persia was sunk.
some officials expressed hope that.
despite the ominous outlook, an ave
nue. for adjustment of the contro-
versy without severance of diDlo-
matte relations may yet be found.
Hopes of officials for satisfactory
outcome were admittedly based on
Austrias possible action. Official
eyes were upon Vienna. Officials re-
fuse yet to believe Austria has repudl-
ated the plain and unequivocal prom
ice in her last note on the Ancona
to observe International law in her
submarine warfare.
Delay in action by Austria was as
cribed by officials today to inaDli'ty
OF the submarine commander TO
reach his base and report. Officials
still believe if an Austrian subma-
rine is responsible. Austria without
waiting for an ultimatum from this
country, will take proper action.
A dozen Americans in Vienna. Ber'
lin. Alexandria and elsewhere were
today enlisted in the search/for evil
dence CabIed summaries OF survi-
vors' affidavits were expected to reach
the state department today.
