TROOPS ARE CROSSING DESERT (Continued from Page One) vices today continue to report general- ly quiet conditions. Officials display- ed some concern over the situation in the Tampico district, however, where there are signs of unrest. The bat- tleship Kentucky was ordered back to Vera Cruz from New Orleans. Sec- retary Daniels explaining that navy vessels now on the Mexican coast did not have radio equipment powerful enough to insure uninterrupted com- munication with Washington. ‘With the Kentuck at Vera Cruz reports from smaller vessels along the coast can be relayed quickly to Key West ana Arlington. The state department de- nied that other American consuls than Consul Willlams at Torreon were leaving their, posts. Williams th said merely reported he was leaving because of rumors. He did not specify the conditions which he viewed as alarming. One other consul at first re- ported he left, later changed his mind saying the situvation had cleared. No Further Word From Carranza. No reply has vet come from General Carranza bevond his note announcing the acceptance of the proposal for reciprpcal action on the border. The fact that his troops are evidently co- operating with the American columns is viewed as answer enough in itself for the time being. The international forces are forming a huge steel ring abo the bandit's lair, slowly clos- ing in from all sides. Reports from the scores of recruiting agencies, re- opered vesterday throughout the coun- try began to filter into the war de- partment today They contained 1it- tle refinite information. Byt the end of the week Adjutant General McCain expects to have figures available on the number of applicants who have been acceptable. ‘When the depots turn in their first five day report how- ever, a clear indication will be avail- able as to the time it will take to en. list the 20,000 men congress has voted to add to the army immediatel The campaign is being conducted on the assumption that the de facto government’s troops will cooperate in the efforts to destroy Villa and his fol- lowers. Disapproval of Carranze Officers. The statements of General Cavira, commander at Juarez, that while he had given orders for cooperation, in accordance with instructions from nis government, he personally did hot ful- Iy endorse such action was the basis for comment by army men. By some of them Gavira's attitude was taken as indicative of that of many of Carranza’s officers, but those high in authority expressed the hope that discipline would prevail in all cases over personal opinion as it had in the case of General Gavira. No Concerted Plan of Action. No concerted plan of action between the military men of the two countries has been agreed upon .The Americans are in Mexico, relying on the assump- tion that Carranza has accepted in good faith the note of the state de. partment, promising reciprocal priv- lleges in chasing down bandits and the unofficial report from Mexico City that orders had been issued for coop- eration. Neither General Pershing nor General Funston have been given any direct promise of support. Joint Action Not Necessary. It was pointed out, however, that cooperation need not necessarily mean joint action and that possibly the Mex- lcan army men would consider it the fulfililment of their part of the pro- gramme if they continued independ- ently their operations against Vllll. .
