Rebels in Juarez claim to have there nine airplanes. Believe this is exaggerated. Am reliably informed they bought three planes in [Page 377] Phoenix, paying $7,000 apiece, and one trimotor in Los Angeles. These planes crossed to Mexico from El Paso Friday and Saturday nights with American pilots. Rebels seem to have plenty of money and is open secret that much ammunition and materials crossing to Mexico.
