TROOPS 70 BORDER


Ell Paso. TexAs.-An along the bor-
der the news Is flashed Of an unprece-
denied heavy Mexican troop movement
north. These reports placed the to-
tails in the five figures. The border
has been thrilled again with q fore
boding Of big events.
Unexpected and prompt official con-
firmation to the news has been given
by Gen. Gabriel Gavira. commander Of
the garrison across the river in Juarex.
He frankly admitted that all Mexican
records for troop movements were be
ing broken.
troops ever made on Mexican soil,",
said Gen. Gavira, and he authorized
his statement to go forth to the world.
The Mexican rush northward was
generally interpreted by United States
army men to e only one thing
that the Mexicans were getting ready
for anything that might happen. The
further statement of Gen. Gavira that
the northward advance was for the
purpose Of cleaning up the, borderland
of bandits drew from Fort Bliss the
prompt skeptical counter.
For filling up the border region
with several thousand more bandits"
The formal statement OF Gen. Cav
ira on this point is given for what it
is worth:
Gen. Jacinto Treyino is moving
north from Torreon with a. Large force
of men to be used in establishing pro-
lection to the border from further
raids.
"Our forces have already occupied
San Antonio, recently evacuated by
the American troops, and we will ex-
tend our lines to NamiQuipa. under
stand that Gen. Pershing will fall back
to Colonia Dublan as soon as sufficient
Carranza troops arrive to occupy his
position.
"As to the number of troops that
will occupy the state l am unable to
say, but it is the largest movement of
troops ever made on Mexican SOIL"
