ing loss of American lives.

that the Carranza government has

through American territory, for op
crations against rebels in the North

The State Department sought the

of Arizona and New Mexico gave

tested. Because of his protest, tbs

Americans in Northern Mexico,
residents in territory controlled by
rebels, are vcciferous in their de-
mand that the Carranza request be
turned down, according to reports
received here. 1t was their conf
