South Da- kota had an increase of 15 per cent. Nebraska 8, Michigan, Iowa and Missour! five per cent less. In the western mountain and Pa- fific. states there were only around threo’ fourths as many cattle on feed for market as last year. The big decrease is in the states that ship largely to Pacific coast mar- kets, where the number fs only s:: ty per cent of last year, while the eastern states of this region show some increases.

DISCUSSED EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 18—Advie- ability of detraining Mexican feder- al troops at the New Mexico-Mexico border at a distance of approxi- mately eight miles from the city of El Paso, was being discussed In Juarez today following receipts of information that passage of troops through Texas had been disapproved by Acting Governor Davidson. The troops, it was pointed out, could be brought to Anapra, N. M., just across the Texas-New Mexico border and transferred across the international border without pass- ing through Texas. They would be within eight miles of Juarez and the men could march this distance in a few hours, They then would be entrained In Juarez for the south “for disposition on the eastern front against the troops of Guada'upe Sanchez, Permission has been~ granted by Governors Hinkle and Hunt of New Mexico and’ Arizona, respectively, for transportation of the troops. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Jan. 18— The downfall of General Alvaro Obregon as president of Mexico will be hastened by the support granted him by the United States, according to & statement made public today by Deputy Reinaldo Esparza Mar- tinez, who recently joined the per- sonnel of the De La Huerta agency in San Antonio in charge of Deputy Ruben Viscarra, The Mexican people have thfav- orably looked upon the intervention of @ foreign country in “our inter- nal affairs,” he ssid. REBELS DESTROY AMMUNITION TRAIN, MEXICO CITY, Jan. 17.—(By Radio, via Fort Worth Star Tele- m.}—({By The Associated Press.) —The revolutionists dynamited a military freight train carrying ar- tllery and munitions for the Obregon forces near the station of Aragon, Hildago, this morning, ac- cording to an official report re- ceived from Obregon's headquarter's at Irapuato, The train and its en- tire cargo was destroyed by fire following the explosion, Aviators were brought into use by the federal forces for the first time today, on the Jalisco front, Major Ralph O'Neill, flying one of the newly arrived “planes from the United States, making a scouting trip from Irapuato via Sayuta and Pachuca, BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Jan. 18 —RebeL_ troops der Feliciano Garcia captured a large quantity of arms and ammunition consigned to the Mexican federal forces at Tam- pico, according té a report brought to De, La Huerta representatives here by courier from southern Tamaulipas last night, Ali revolutionary bands between San Fernando and - Victoria’ have heen ordered to mobilize to assist in an attack on Tampico, the revo- lutionists now. being well equipped with arms and ammunition, the re- port said. who have proclatmed their loyalty to President Obregon, started from here this morning through the state of Sonora, to Naco, it was announc- ed today, The troops are being moved over the Southern Pacific De Mexico. Al- though it was planned to send the troops over American territory, Mexican officials decided to keep the Mayos in Mexico because no advices authorizing the move over United States soll had bepn received from the state department. Almost simultaneously movément of the Mexican troops through Sonora, thirty-seven Mar- {nes left Nogales, Arizona, through American territory on a mission at New Orleans, it was announced. The movement of the marines through Arizona caused a misunder- standing of details of the transporta- tion of the two different groups of troops and caused ong official to make an announcement that the Mayos were transported across the border during the night and were now on the way to Naco, Arizona, The announcement proved — erron- eous. The marines are being moved over the Southern Pacific through Art. zona. They are under command of Lieutenant Colonel Edmundo Elicon- do,- Mexican officials said they be- Veved there was no question as to Re legality of the movement of the marines through the United States. They asserted, however, that until authoriziation was recety. ed from the government regiments of troops would be moved only through Mexican territory along the boundary.
