JAPAN TO AID MEXICO
IN CASE OF INVASION
New Orleans, La, March He-A dis
patch from Mexico City says:
A secret treaty which provides for an
offensive and defensive alliance, exists
between the governments of Mexico
and Japan. For this statement, which
will no doubt be denied, there Is the
authority of a prominent financier, who
Is one of the powers behind the throne
In Mexico. According to this authority,
the Mexlcan-Japanese secret treaty of
alliance was negotiated about a year
ago. The treaty, he said, provides
among bther things that In the event
that Mexico 1s attacked by a stronger
power Japan will come to her rescue.
The convention further states that
upon an official request of the Mexican
government for aid, Japan will respond
with both army and navy.
Congress to Declare Martial Law?
Mexico City, March 11.—It was re
ported today that the Mexican con
gress will be called together In ex

8an Antonio, Texas, March 11.—B,
night the United States flag will float
over about 15,000 regular Soldiers upon
the great government reservation. The
roar of fourteen guns this morning
boomed out the commahdsr's salute and
welcomed to tho "scat of war" Major
General William H. Carter, who will
command tho division at San Antonio.
s General Carter was met at the train
by Brigadier General Joseph W. Dun
can, commander of the department of
Texas, and a squadron of cavalry,
which escorted him to his post. As he
assumed command of the troops
heavy battery stationed near by sound
ed a royal welcome.
Troop Trains Arrlv*.
Troop trains poured In all night
long, but the soldiers did not Imme
diately detrain. They spent the bal
ance of the night In the cats and re
veille this morning awafce them from
their cramped positions. Within
hour a long line of blue was marching
thru the streets toward the great ma
neuvers camp, while San Antonians
lined the streets and cheered while
hundreds of visitors Joined In the greet
ing.
As thp by magic, a city of thousands
had sprung up over the government
reservation, divisions were In'their al
lotted quarters and complete milltary
dlsclpllne quickly established. The fol.
lowing regiments arrived In camp early
today: Eleventh cavalry, from Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga.; First battalion of
Eighteenth Infantry, from Whipple bar
racks, Arlsona; Fifteenth infantry, from
Fort Douglas, Utah; Thirteenth infan
try, from Fort Leavenworth, Kans.
Sentries Posted.
Sentries were posted about the can-
tompents, while the day was spent as
signing the men to quarters and get
ting the routine of the camp In shape.
The men suffered greatly from the
intense heat, as many of them came
from sections of the country where
snow Is still on the ground, to find the
thermometer In the nineties here. The
quartermaster's department worked all
night getting a sufficient supply of
khaki uniforms out for the entire army.
As soon as the soldiers got their tents
up the light service uniforms were dis
tributed among the enlisted men. Gen
eral Carter today denied knowledge of
any Invasion of Mexico, declaring with
soldierly precision that he Is here to
obey orders, and that as far as he
knows those orders are for maneuvers
only.

President Has Made Up Mind
That U .$. Will Protect Its
Citizens in Mexico.
Augusta, Ga., March 11.—President
Tpft sat down on the lid of the war
alarm box today. Altho he Is keeping
In close touch with the situation, he
Intends to give himself, up to a real
vacation here and will not 'transact any
more business than Is absolutely neces
sary.
The golf sticks are mightier than the
sword for the time being. As a result
ho new developments In the Mexican
situation are looked for during the next
few day*. The president will wait for
the distribution of the troops along the
border and. give them an opportunity
to accomplish the task of cutting off
Insurrecto supplies. If they fail then
an Invasion will bo the next step.
U. S. To Protect Citizens.
It Is safe to say that President Taft
was not at all surprised by the state
ment* given out by Mexico's represen
tatives In the United States, Senors LI.
mantour and De La Barra. He ha*
made up his mind what he will do and
that settles the matter. The United
State* will protect It* citizens In Mex
ico If Mexico falls to do so.
There Is nothing In the Monroe doc
trine that would prohibit Great Britain,
Germany, France or any other Interest
ed power from landing troops In Mexico
for the protection of property and lives
of their subjects If any one of these
governments believed that the Mexican
government were without power to af
ford that protection.
If the existing government Is so bad
ly crippled that cltiscns holding alle
giance to some other power must appeal
for .help to their home governments,
home government* don't stop to ask
whether the law of the country will per
mit them to protect their own people.
In the case of Mexico, the United State*
la uctlng for the common good of all
and when the Mexican ambassador pro
test* against the possible entry of
American troops upon Mexican soil he
Is protesting against every country that
has Its cltlsens or subjects temporarily
domiciled In the republic.
A Note of Warning.
Senor DeLa Barra’s statement can
not he Interpreted In yan other way than
as a note of warning; a declaration
that any effort on the part of this gov
ernment to occupy Mexican soli for the
purpose of protecting the lives and
property of foreigners or for any other
purpose would be construed as a hostile
act. He emphasises the fact that no
government official ha* the power to
permit foreign troops to enter Mexico;
that the republic Is to fulfill all ot her
obligations and that Intervention by the
United States will bn rejected.
With all the details of the great
south war movement of troops com
plete and the zone of activity actually
shunted from Washington to the field,
President Taft Is awaiting complacent
ly the arrival of the moving commands
It Is all i over now. The Southern
Commercial congress has concluded Its
ithlrd annual convention, which brought
together In Atlanta the greatest array
of men of national and International
reputation ever assembled In this city
and probably In the South.
The nation's president, its only IIv-
Ing cx-president. two members of the
president's cabinet, the new governor
of New Jersey, governor* and former
governors of a half dozen Southern
states. United States senators, con
gressmen, legislators of many states.
Judges of high courts, foreign ministers
and consuls, leading educators of the
Stfuth, financiers from Wall Street and
other money centers, great Inventors,
captains of Industry, heads of large
corporations and business enterprises,
presidents and secretaries of commer
cial organizations, plain every-day
business men and farmers by the score,
all these have been In Atlanta this
week. They came to tell of the past,
the present and the future of the
South, of how this section Is awaken
ing to Its possibilities and of how other
sections of the country look upon It.
Significant of this gathering was the
ceremony marking the fiftieth anni
versary of the beginning of the Civil
war, the purpose nnd effect being to
demonstrate to the nation and the
World that the South Is a part of the
United States and that the sectional
line* of the past hove been obliterated.
Interest In the Panama canal and the
future prosperity It holds In store for
the South was awakened. Southerners
were aroused to the Importance of pre
paring for the trade that will be theirs
If they will only take It. when the-ca.
The slogan of the entire congress was
"A Greater Nation Thru a-Greater

throughout the nation.

SECRETARY KNOX IS
SQREALPRES. TAFT
Washington, March 11.—With a re
port that President Taft and Secre
tary of State Knox are divided over
the question of mobilising troops and
ships to Intimidate the Mexican Insur-
rectns. develops "war maneuvers" took
anplttfr sensational turn today. Ac
cording to this report. Secretary Knox
and his assistant, Huntington Wilson,
are very much peeved over the action
takep by President Taft.
Hie order for the mobilisation Is said
to have gone out a* a result of reports
rnolle by secret sgeut* of the depart-
mentj of war and Justice, after an ex
tended Investigation In Mexico. The
state department Is understood to have
been practically Ignored. This Is aid
to be the reason why Secretary Knox
went to Florida to take a "vacation."
Acting Secretary Wilson Is going to do
the same, and in this way both men
will avoid responsibility and shift the
situation completely onto the shoulders
of President Taft, who bag already as
sumed direct command.
Columbus, N. M„ March 11.—Many
women and children hsve been killed
in the fighting between Mexican Fed
eral* and Insurrecto* at Casa* Grandes.
Colonel Gurcia, commander of the
rebels, who captured the Mexican town,
is still holding It. according to latest
advices, despite the efforts of the regu-
lars to dislodge him.
Detail* of the battle received today
prove It to have been one of the most
sanguinary assaults yet made on a
fortified town during the course of the
revolution. The rebels marched on the
town supported by artillery. When
within range, they opened fire. The
Mexican batteries, which were placed
on the house tops, replied but with lit
tle effect, as Colonel Garcia's men were
protected by the buttes surrounding
the town. Screened by hillsides, the
rebel batteries cannonaded the town
for nearly twelve hours, reducing many
buildings to ruins and killing and
wounding women and children and
civilian* who had taken refuge In cel
lars.
The American sharpshooters fight
Ing under the rebel flag wrought havoc
among the Mexican artillerymen. When
the Insurrectos marched Into the town.
It was found that three-fourths of the
Federal gunners had fallen from bul
lets thru the brain. Some of the
wounded had been untoched by bul
lets. but were pinned beneath the
wreckage of splintered buildings. Oth
ers Jiad been killed by glancing shells.
Temporary hospitals were establish
ed, but owing to the lack of surgeons
among the Insurrectos it was many
hours before the last of the wounded
could be attended to. The wounded
Mexican regulars were left to the last,
by the physicians, while the women
and children were treated first.

of the notorious Italian Camorra were
placed on trial here today. The prose
cution t* chiefly directed against Enrico
A llano, alias "Errlcone,” head of the
Neapolitan ramorra. Forty-one
members of the murderous body arc

not arraigned. Altho the defendants are
nominally charged with complicity In
the murdsr of Gennaro Cuoocolo and
Ills wife, "the beautiful Horrentlno," on
June 5, 1806, the authorities hope to
draw nslde the curtain hiding the real
secrets of crimes committed both In
Italy anil other countries anil which
have baffled the International police.

Among the crimes which may be ex

she owns a hotel, and sharing In their

The defendants are all member* of
the Catholic faith and they expressed
a desire to attend mass before the open

tered the monastery prison and said the
mass while the Neapolitans knelt and
responded with their prayers.
From their prayers the prisoners

74 OFFICERS TO LEAVE
Atlantans Among Those Eager
For Chance to Take Part
in the Campaign.
If the United States troops begin
fighting on th* Mexican border. It Is
probable that the Georgia militia will
be called out by tho war department
and sent to the border to help guard It
while the regulars Invade the foreign
country. Thai, Is the belief of General
A. J. Scott, ai he expressed It to a re
porter for The Georgian Saturday
morning. /
Officers of the Georgia guard will
soon be on the Mexican border with the
regular United State* troops ".watching
maneuvers.” as 74 who have volun
teered following tho "Invitation" from
the war department have been recom
mended to the department by General
Scott. From all section* of Georgia
the acceptances of volunteers poured
Into General Scott’s office until late
Friday afternoon. Every officer In the
Fourth battalion, with one exception,
volunteered.
General Scott's recommendation was
forwarded to the war department Fri
day night and from the 74 recommend
ed a number will be selected who will
be sent to th# frontier for at least 30
days and probably for the whole period
of maneuvers. These officers will re
ceive all expenses and regular pay for
their services while "receiving the In
struction."
The following Georgia officers were
recommended to the war department
for service:

To preach a series of sermons, as tho
feature of the Baptist Tabernacle BIbin
conference. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, tho
famous English evangelist and preacher
of International repute, arrived In At
lanta Saturday morning af 10:30 o'clock
for a three days' stay of what Is a ten
days' trip to America.
During Saturday and Sunday Dr.
Morgan will be the drawing card at
the sessions of the conference, which,
despite the counter attractions In busy
Atlanta, have been attracting great In
terest.
Dr. Morgan arrived over the Southern
railroad from New York, going direct to
the Baptist Tabernacle, where he
preached, at 11 o'clock. He pri aches
again at 4 o'clock In the afternoon nnd
at 7:30 o'clock Saturday night.
Plans have been laid to make the
open meeting, to be held at tho Audi
torium-Armory Sunday afternoon, at
which Dr. Morgan Is the principal
speaker, an ovation to him. It will be
gin at 3 o'clock.
A “Vacation Trip.”
To love a city and Its people so well,
that an ardou* trip across the Atlantic
with adde rail travels of 2.000 miles, all
In ten days, Is called a holiday, speaks
much of the city and Its people. This
Is Dr. Campbell Morgan's attitude to
ward Atlanta and Atlantans.
"Why, this la my holiday, my vaca
tion." he said simply Saturday morn
ing, as he stood uncovered In the sun
shine of yie Terminal station plaza,
waiting for the photographers to snap
his picture.
"I wouldn't think of coming to Amer
ica without making Atlanta nnd my
dear friend Dr. Broughton my chief
point of Interest. So when 1 decided
to tako my limited spring vacation
most naturally I came to Atlanta to
the exclusion of every other place.”
And this from the man who I* pro
nounced the “greatest preacher In the
world,” b’ho Is llkei#d In England, so
great la the vogue of his ffery elo
quence, to 8avonarola. The striklhg
resemblance that Dr. Morgan bears'to
the famous Florentine la not confined
to his enthusiasm or-h!* utterance. Thu
cast of his features in profile Is a re
plica of the strong mask of the me
dieval monk who woke the middle
ages from religious lethargy with his
exhortation.
Tho verity of the physical likeness
and the similarity of the manner of
mind—a oneness of religious enthusi
asm—has Impressed the force of the
entire resemblance upon Dr. Morgan
himself.
A Modem 8svonsrole.
From his own lips came the state
ment of the power of the medieval
character over his own. Tho labeling
him as tho "modern Savonarola” has
done much to make him wield tho
brand of enthusiasm of tho dead Flor
entine In a time when thought has run
wild In contrast to the mold Into
which thinking was forced In the fif
teenth century.
"I do not believe they know me In
America as people do In England, for
my resemblance to Savonarola. I am
more' Impressed with the character
than people think. I have my lecturo
on tho Florentine martyr with me and
may give it In Atlanta," said Dr. Mor
gan.
Standing at the Terminal station
waiting for. the photographers, bo
talked freely with the newspaper men
about the report that he quelled a
panic on the Cunard liner Mauretania
by prayer. He said the story was an
exaggeration.
In 8t0rm at 8*a,
“I prayed in the presence of the pas
sengers several times coming over, but
never to quiet a panic," he said. "We
had a rough passage and for a day at
least the passengers were forbidden
the decks. Great seas came aboard,
and the one that was said to have
caused the scare struck the captain’s
house with terrifllc force. I was asleep
at the time In my state room. I am
a good sailor: rough weather has little
effect on me.
"Of course l helped quiet some of the
nervous passengers, knowing the ab
solute safety of the ship, but the news-
papers exaggerated when they sny I
went to the steerage and quelled an
out-and-out panic with prayer."
Dr. Morgan, little changed In appear
ance since hia last visit to Atlanta, la
always a striking figure. Such man
ner of man as to cause attention even
from the casual passerby. At first
glance hie figure gives the Impression
of height. This impression is accentu
ated by the long, lean virile face, slen
derly aggressive dhln and prominent
Roman nose set above and below a full
lipped mouth, the mouth of an Idealist,
a dreamer rather than a thinker. Th*
brow Is broad and framed In steel-gray
hair, that once had been blue black.
The tyes are large and blue and far
away, marvelously mild. In contrast
with the fierce contour of the nose. It
la a face In which the brilliant charac
ter and life of the man Is reflected.
Standing at the Terminal station. In
the midst of the swiftly moving throng
of traveler* and Atlantans, Dr. atorgan
by the very power of his physical pres
ence was the cynosure of all eyes.
Scarcely a man left or entered the sta
tion hut stepped to let his gate rest
upon'this Interesting figure.
Friday's night's meeting at the Tab
ernacle was an auspicious one. Not
withstanding the attractions of the
president of the United States and a
"presidential possibility" holding forth
to Atlantans, a rapacity audience greet
ed Dr. H. C, Manic, of Boston, the
s|>cakrr of the evening.
