ALL AVAILABLE MILITIA TO
BE SENT TO BORDER AT ONCE

der cover of parley between Gen.
Gomez and Capt. Boyd.
1t was not until after the Mexicans
had opened fire with a machine gun
that Capt. Boyd dismounted his com
mand and returned the fire.
Gen. Funston pointed out a discrep-
ancy in the report coming from Mexi-
can sources that Capt. Morey, the com
manding officer, had been Killed. Gen
Funston said that Capt. Boyd was the
senior of Capt. Morey and would have
been in command.
Gen. Pershing's s report stated that he
had warned Capt. Boyd before the lat
ter left the main command that he was
to use every precaution against start
ing clash with Mexican troops. The
fact that these instructions had beer
given is taken by armv officers here t.
substantiate the story of straggler,
that the attack had been unprovokeC
and made without warning.
