WASHINGTON, July 26.-(P)-In view of the recent trouble arising be tween the United States and Mexico, especially those difficulties involving the bandits in the Rio Grande cOun- try, the federal government is re doubling it's efforts to prevent the smuggling of arms and ammunition to any Mexican troops, other than those of the Carranza government.
 Under a proclamation issued by President Wilson on the twelfth of this month, federal control of all munition shipments from the United States to the individual Mexican states is restored. The new regula- tions permit munitions to be export CT to Mexico only when they are destined for the use of the CarranZa government and it must be conclu- sively proven that they will not be turned over to the revolutionary forces
 With the restoration of this control over the shipments of arms and am munition, it is expected many un- scrupulOus persons along the border will endeavor to earn livelihood by smuggling munitions to the rebel forces. The force of federal agents, operating in the border states, has been laregly increased and warnings ties to keep a particularly close watch on all travel acroSS the border
