Details of the engagement arc lack

It is stated, however, that one loop

may yet gain the Guerrero Hills.
But even if he does, it is said he

SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON
Returns after long explorations
in the Antarctic.
These rcpoits were in line with the
official denial from United States
Consul Letcher, at Chihuahua, that
Gen. Luis Herrera had revolted
against Carranza and had taken with
.him 2000 men to the Villa standaid.
It is possible that the actions of a few
renepnilrs to the Cnrra"nza cause
Siave rise to the reports of Hen era's
desertion.
Regardless of the belief in official
circles at the leport of Herrera'a
loyalty, unensiness is still felt along
the bouler because of the continued
concentiation of Garranza tioops at
points within a few horns' maxch of
the international line. To meet any
emergency, General Fiinston has
lengthened the patrols all along the
front. Just why the Carranzistas
ire massing on the border is a mystery.
Wirelesses from Genet al Pershing
in General Funston today were so
muddled that the wireless will be
abandoned and telegraph lines will be
depended on for news from the front.
