BT EXITED PRESS
EL PASO. Tex.. June 19.—The
border scented war today.
Preparations were taken to repel
an attack on El Paso in the event
war is declared between Mexico
and the United States
A Carranxa move to cut off the
retreat of part of the American ex
peditionary forces was reported.
Unconfirmed rumors were current
that Carranza had sent a rae*seng**r
to Washington notifying President
Wilson a state or war would be de
clared to exist he*ween the two
countries unless the United States
troops were ordered withdrawn from
Mexico within a week
Every available motor truck Is in

rushing rifles, ammunition and food
supplies to Gen Pershing’s srmy of
15.000 well reasoned men.
Stretched in a horaei-hoe curve
around them are 50.000 Carranxiefa
troops, reported ill fed. poorly
trained and badlv equipped. Amer
lean arrivals from Mexico stated
famine had spread throughout the
country and oeclared that the de ,
facto government has not sufficient
food supplies to maintain its army .
over SO days.
Gen Pershing's men are en
trenched at strategic points. No
frontal attack by Carranza's armies
was anticipated, but it was feared
American patrols might clash with
disorderly. uncontrolled de facto
troops
A comparatively few El Paso hus
bands and fathers planned to send
their women and children to north
ern cltiea. Information received
that 10.000 Mexican troops were
hidden In hills wltbir. 20 miles of
Juarex and It* 4.000 garrison led to
fears that El Paso may be attacked.
*T am prepared for any emer
gency." said Gen. George Bell, com
manding the 5.000 troops at Fort
Bliss "In case of an attack on El
Paso our military will be ready to
meet tbe Invading forces and will
give a good account of Itself.”
Battery A. of the New Mexico
state militia, and a battalion of the
Twentieth United States infantry
arrived in El Paso last night to re
inforce the troops stationed at Fort
BUm.
Local authorities received infor
mation that cavalry had left Villa
Abumada for El Valle, which i* be
tween the American bases at Co
lonta Dublan and Namiquipa. Gen.
Pershing was reported to have only
about s third of bis forces below
Colonla Dublan and the Carranxa
move was interpreted to be in prep
aration to cut off their retreat. Th«*
Namiquipa base has been strength
•ned by planting field artillery on
high bluffs commanding miles of
the surrounding country.
