man Against Bandits.
NO ACTION TAKEN
BY MEXICAN RULER
Course Leads to Belief That
Mexican President Was
Notified in Advance of
American Action.

American troops on the trail OF
Mexican bandits are operating
with scant assistance from the
Carranza forces, it was revealed
today by dispatches to the War
Department from Maj. Gen. Dick
man, commander OF the Depart
ment of the Southwest.
Because OF the silence on the
part of Carranza since the Ameri-
can forces crossed the border, it
is generally believed here that
Mexican authorities were notified
in advance OF the American ac-
ton. There may be a question
raised later by Carranza, it was
said, as to how far the troops
may proceed into the interior, as
he raised this query when Per
shings punitive expedition was in
Mexico.
