Previous reports from Mr. Rodg- ers have described the attitude of Carranza officials as increasingly friendly toward the United States and added that the feeling prevatied among them that the erttical period as to the border situation had passed, Officials have attributed this result to Gen. Obregon'’s verbal report to Gen. Carranza on his conference with Gens. Scott and Funston at the border, Although Gen. Funston has not re- Ported movements of Carranza troops near Gen.
