SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April IL
P)-Fifteen hundred United States
soldiers made ready today to pro-
ced to Arizona and New Mexico
points within a short distance of
Sonora, Mexico, where a major bat
tie in the Mexican revolution ap-
peared possible.
Believing the weight of the con-
tending Mexican forces may be
greatly increased in the near flu
ture, Major General William Las
sitter, Eighth Corps Area command
er here, late yesterday announced
an infantry brigade from Fort D. A.
Russell, Wyo., would go to Bisbee,
Ariz., and the remainder of the
Seventh Cavalry, supplemented by
a field artillery battalion from
Fort Bliss, Ell Paso, would move
for Hachita, N. M.
The Fort Russell detachment
prepared today to leave as soon
as possible, and the Fort Bliss
contingents expected to get under
way before afternoon. The marches
will require several days.
These troops, their movements
by far the largest caused in this
country by the current revolution,
will reinforce other Arizona and
New Mexico commands, already
swelled from normal strength, and
will be aided by Is army airplanes
already in service there.
For Fort Bliss assignment was
lin the nature of a practice march,
General Lassiter said, but "this
force will be in a position to re-
turn to its proper station or con-
tinue into Arizona in accordance
with developments Of the situa-
ton"

NEW ORLEANS, April 11.-P-
The cotton market opened slightly
lower in sympathy with relatively
easier cables. First trades showed
losses of 2 to 3 points, and selling
became more aggressive probably
due to disappointment over a pri-
vate March consumption estimate
of only $4,000 bales.
May traded down to 1885, July
1912 and October 1886, or IL to Is
points below yesterdays close. Fav-
orable weather was a contributing
influence to the decline. Towards
the end Of the first hour shcrt Is COW
cred and prices rallied 2 to { points
fro mthe lows.
Trading tapered off later in the
morning and prices fluctuated mar
rowly within the early range. The
market rallied 5 to 6 points at one
time on covering but towards noon
there was a renewal of selling on
the favorable weathr and May trad
ed off to $3.50, July $19.73, and
October $19.85, or 6 to 10 points
under yesterdays close.
