Replies To U. 8. Note By Asking Reciprocal Right To Cross Border, Washington, General Carranesa, through Consul Silliman, hag asked the American Government for permission to send Mexican troops across the bor. der and into the United States in pur- suit of bandits. General Carranza’s note will be answered, The reply of the United States probably will say to General Corranza that his suggestion will be conaldered, If at any time It should become necessary for his forces to pur fue bandits into American territory through the lack of a sufficient num- ber of American troops to do the work. It probably will be pointed out that American troops are to pursue Villa bandits in Mexico for the sole reason that Carranza forces are not there in sufficient number to relleve the menace and that if a similar situation should arise in the United States hie offer of cooperation would be sccepted WILSON ORDERS TROOP INTO MEXICO 5000 U.
