It was rumored this afternoon
that officials on the Mexican side
of the river, which is under Car
ranza control, are responsible for
some of the troubles on the Ameri

ever, there Is no evidence that any
of the higher Mexican authorities
are Involved.
Offlcials here have reported that ,
1700 former Carranza soldiers have,
crossed the river along a zone 1 20 I
miles wide, from a point below
Brownsville to Rio C.rande City up

parties are said to have crossed,
