General Funston said tonight he had hren Informed of General Herrera'a re portedreTOlt, and that, while confirma tion -naa lacking;, Jie had taken pre rantlonarj steps toward meeting ay aggression alonaj the border. SAM TOXIO. Tex.. March 22. The report that General Herrera, com " mandlng 2000 men at Chihuahua, had aligned himself with Francisco Villa azainst the United States was received with grave concern by General Fun ston and his staff. Oficially and unofficially the opinion entertained here was that if Herrera has joined Villa. the international situ ation might be made so complex that by comparison the pursuit of Villa would be regarded as incidental. Consul Beltran, of Carranza's gov ernment, received no report of the re ported revolt of Herrera, and he was inclined to laugh at it as a -border rumor." Vlre Cutting May Be Significant. According to the version reaching here Herrera was relieved Monday from command, and immediately tool steps to alienate his garrison. That Carranza. has enough loyal troops in Northern Mexico to drive him from the city of Chihuahua if he at tempts to hold the place wan veucc, hv militatry men here, but it was feared that retention of Chihuahua i would not be his plan. Military ob servers here see a possible connection with his plan in the interruption of wire service between Casas Grandes and Juarez yesterday and wire cut ting today between Torreon and oji naea, opposite Presidio, Tex. It was suggested that those who cut tho wires between Casas Grandes and Juarez might have thought that they were being used by General Pershing for communication with General Fun- Gnve EiobarriKmt IOMihle. If the report should be true, and if Herrera desired to, ha could embarrass greatly the United States in its efforts to run down Villa and his followers.

The most Important amendment placed In tha bill was suggested by Representative Hayden. Democrat, of Arizona. It provides that when a resi ment of National Guard is sent to the front, a fourth battalion be organized by the National Guard reserve to take the regiment's place and to train re cruits for the fisrhtinir lines. t'nrier this system, if the entire Guard were called out, a force ona-third its total strength would Immediately take lt.s place at home to maintain order, secure and train recruits, and insure that the fighting regiment would be kept up to full strength Without bclntf ham pered, by levies of raw recruits.
