Carranza Wishes to Attack New
Republic of'Sonora From
North Bordor
WASHINGTON HALTS REPLY
Washington, April 10. Mexico lins
asked permission from the United States
to move troopi through American ter
ritory so as to nttnek tho stnte of
Ronorn from tho north. No netlon on
the request has jet been taken.
The C'nrranzu government wllie to
move its forces on the Mexican central
line to ni Puso, thence through Ameri
can tcrritorj to Douglas. Ariz., uud
across the boundary to Agtia 1'rleta,
from which point a movement ngnlnst
Hcrmoslllo. tho capital of Sonorn, would
be undertaken.
The only other point of attack ngnlnst
Houora h through the l'ulpltb Pass, be
tween Sonora nnd Clilhuabua, nnd It
was snld that this pass could be do
feuded by n very Bniall force of Sonora
troops.
In making known today that Mexico
bad requested permission to move troops
through Texas, New Mexico nnd Ari
zona, officials said tho United States
was "under pressuro from the Mexican
Government."
Mexico frequently has nsked permis

and on uomo occasions it bus been
granted. ,
Mexico's present position is due to
"tho unfortunato nnd mischievous policy
of tho Wilson, administration," Henry

nffalrs. Jlr. Wilson was appointed am
bassador to Mexico lit 11)00 by Presi
dent Taft nnd resigned soon after Presi
dent Wilson's first term began. In 101U.
"Tho- President's theory that any
number of Mexicans arc struggling for
llbottv Is erroneous." Mr. Wilson sold.
"It is slmpl u free-for-all struggle for
loot."
"Any nollcv of Mexico for tho Mexi
cans," Mr. Wilson said, 'merely means
Mexico for the Indians. The years show
the outcome of the nntiirul tendency for
anarchy nnd disorder simple barbarism
which marks the Mexican people."
