The original proposition made by
, General Carranza on this subject pro- J
vided for a reciprocal crossing of the
border by the milltar}- forces of both
countries on a hot trail, but this was
never carried to a treaty conclusion.
The reciprocal idea is understood to 3
be absent from the addendum or sup-
plementary memorandum attached to I
the Atlantic City protocol.
Whether Carranza will be as con- -
siderate of this country's desire not
to wound Mexico's sensibilities by not
insisting upon the bo rd er-crowing fea-
ture as a part of the formal agree-
ment is causing concern. The adden-
dum. however, refers to “co-opera-
tion'' between the military forces of
the two governments, and in view of
the fact that there is not likely to bo
any occasion for Mexicans to enter
American territory in pursuit of out- j
laws, it is hoped that Carranza will I
ratify the protocol.
It is considered certain that there
will be no withdrawal of the militia
from the border until the state de-
partment has assurances that the pro-
tocol will be signed. If Villa's
strength continues to grow in Chihua- 1
hua the guardsmen will not be with- 1
drawn even after the protocol is
signed.
The state department was advised
today that Villa has fought three dis-
tinct engagements at Chihuahua, each -

monopoly enjoyed in ante-bellum
days by the French and Belgian
