Mexican Terror Takes 40.00O Rounds

El Paso, Tex., Aug. 27. Francisco
Villa baa obtained his ammunition
ror equipping his men for hla bandit
raids by smuggling across the United
Staea border, or by capture of Car
ranza troops. 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. Instances in which
he bas forced "loans" hare been re
ported within a few months. 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.
