REPRESENTATIONS
TO CARRANZA
A P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, May 8.-1
Representations regarding the j
Mexican raid into the P>ig Bend
'.ountry of Texas were forwarded
'o the Carranza government by
the state department immediate
ly on the receipt of official re
ports of the bandit foray on
Glenn Springs.
Lansing stated later that the
message suggested that the de
facto president exert his utmost
power to prevent a recurrence of
the raid and that a readjustment
of the Carranza forces would be
advisable so that the scattered
bodies of bandits could not cross
the line again. The raid has
made it practically certain that
the Americans troops will not be
withdrawn until the bandits are
either annihilated of the Carran
za government is in complete'
control of the situation. Coming
at the present time it is generally
accepted that Carranza cannot
dispute the American occupation j
on the ground that he has the
situation in hand
