SMUGGLING OF
AMMUNITION
LIVELY TRA
EL PASO, Texas, Aug. 20 (by
mail).—Francisco Villa has obtained
his ammunition for equipping his
men for his bandit raids by smug
gling across the United States bor
der or by capture of Carranza troops.
It is believed that in the past mil
lions of rounds of ammunition have
been smuggled into Mexico for Villa
from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
Small fortunes are said to have been
gained by the smugglers.
The United States has stopped the
smuggling by wholesale, by compell
ing ammunition dealers to obtain per
mits from the army intelligence de
»
partment 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 smalt
quantities of ammunition still are be
ing smuggled over the border.
Villa has often boasted that he ob
tained a large part of his ammuni
tion and many rifles from Carranza
troops. He captured 40,000 rounds
of ammunition intended for Carranza
at Parral last spring. Prior to Vil
la’s last attack on Juarez, a few
weeks ago, a Carranza customs offi
cial was discovered delivering ammu
nition to Villa’s spies in Juarez.
Villa finances his revolutionary
movement by compelling foreign min
ing and cattle companies to make
“forced loans” in return for protec
tion and by seizing and selling cattle,
silver and other property. Instances
in which he has forced “loans” have
been reported within a few months.
When Villa was encamped near
Juarez he carried a traveling bag
filled with American gold and cur
rency obtained from companies in
northern Mexico.
It is known that he has captured
some of the horses sold by the United
States army remount depot at Fort
Bliss to the Carranza government.

MEXICO CITY ’(Aug. 6 (by mail).
—The newspaper Excelsior says it
has learned officially that Mexican
consuls in the principal European
capitals have been instructed to give
all possible aid to prospective immi
grants and that during the month of
September “excursions” will be run
from both Germany and Belgium.
The secretary of agriculture told
El Excelsior that the Japanese, about
whose alleged colonization schemes
there have been so many rumors,
would be admitted on equal footing
with other foreigners.

tric plate, especially the kind with 3
