MEXICANS AGAIN IN TEXAS RAID

One American Killed When Carranza Forces Cross Border and Looted Progreso Store.

Troops, said to belong to Carranza forces, crossed into Texas Friday night and raided and fired a store at Progreso. Their retreat was covered by fire from the Mexican side and one American soldier was killed and an officer wounded. Five Mexicans were killed, according to the dispatch from Brownsville. Two thousand shots are said to have been fired. This is apt to be somewhat of a jolt to the administration’s latest plan to recognize Carranza as the head of the official Mexican government. As usual, Washington is very calm and is indulging in an extended program of _ and is hoping that something will turn up. Some policy.
