BANDIT LEADER DEPENDED ON
SMUGGLED SUPPLIES FROM
U. S., AND ROBBERY
WAR DEPT. KILLING TRAFFIC
Mexican Terror Takes 10000 Rounds
Ammunition From Carranza.
and Forces Loans"

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 27.-Francisco
Villa has obtained his ammunition
for equipping his men for his bandit
raids by smuggling across the United
Staes border. or by capture of Car
rama troops. It is believed that in
the past, millions of rounds of am
munition have been smuggled into
Mexico for Villa, from Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona. Small fortunes
are said to have been gained by the
smugglers.
The United States has stopped the
smuggling by wholesale, by compell-
ing ammunition dealers to obtain
permits from the army intelligence
department and by requiring them to
make reports of sales showing who
receives the ammunition and the use
to which il is to be put.
Nevertheless, 1t is claimed small
quantities of ammunition still are
being smuggled over the border.
Villa has often boasted that he
obtained a large part of his, ansmuni-
tion and many rifles from Carranza
troops. He captured 10000 rounds
of ammunition intended for Carranza
at Parral last spring. Prior to
Villas last attack on Juarez few
days ago. Carranza customs official
was discovered delivering ammuni-
tion to Villas spies in Juarez.
Villa finances his revolutionary
movement by compelling foreign min
ing companies to make forced loans
in return for protection and by seiz-
ing and selling cattle, silver and
other'property. Instances in which
he has forced 'rloans" have been re-
ported within few months. When
he was camped near Juarez he car
ried a travelling bag filled with Am
erican gold and currency obtained
in Northern Mexico.
1t is known that he has captured
some of the horses sold by the United
States army remount depot at Fort
Bliss to the Carranza government.
