Addi tional precautions were taken today to protect tho motor truek trains which left here for Casas Grandes. It was believed that the train was heavily guarded because of reports of brigands who might threaten the American line of communication. Included in the train was a truck carrying a machine gun and its squad. The train consist ed of (deleted) trucks, the largest number sent at one time since the be ginning of the expedition.

Everything was quiet at Gibron's ranch and there was no trouble there. Avlntor Makes I'ryit Time. Lieut. Herbert Dargue, of the first Aero squad, arrived here after flying Ifii nrlles from the interior of Mexico. He carried dispatches to headquarters and from correspondents at the front. Darjue reported the flying conditions poor and stated at one time he was forced to descend to within 50 feet of the earth on account of tho rare air. It Is freezing cole in' the mountains at the front, he reported. His flying time was less than two hours and one- hair, j MUCH LOOSE AMMUNITION FOUND IN TROOP TRAINS Almost 10,000 rounds of ammuni-ion, left by soldiers going to Columbus in tourist sleepers, nas been picked up by the cleaning crews after the coaches were returned to El Paso.
