KILLING TRAFFIC Mexican Terror Takes 40.00O Rounds Ammunition Kraut Carranza, ( anil Force "Loan"' El Paso, Tex., Aug. 27.

It is believed that iu the past, millions of round of am munition bare been smuggled Into -Mexico for Villa, from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Small fortunes are said to have been gained by the smugglers. Tbe Cnited States, baa stopped the smuggling by wholesale, by compell ing ammunition dealers to obtain permits from the army intelligence department and by requiring them to make reports of sales showing who receives the ammunition and the use to which it is to be put. Nevertheless, It is claimed small quantities of ammunition still are being smuggled over tbe border. Villa has often boasted that he obtained a large-part-of hl.amaiuni tion and maay rifles from Carra'nza troops. He captured 40,000 rounds of ammunition Intended for Carranxa at Parral last spring. Prior to Villa's last attack on Jnares a few days ago, a Carranza customs official was . discovered delivering ammuni tion to Villa's spies in Juarez. Villa finances his revolutionary mo .Timent by compelling foreign min ing companies to make "forced loans' In return ror protection and by seis ing and selling cattle, silver and ' otherpropertx.

When he was camped near Juarex he car ried a traveling bag mied with Am erican gold and currency obtained In Northern Mexico. It Is known that he has cantnred some or the horses sold by the United States army remount depot at Port Bliss to the Carranza' government.
