BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, Sept. 18.
“Shoot on sight any person who fires
into United States territory from the
Mexican side,” was the order issued
to-day to American troops who are
guarding the border.
Not an American soldier was
wounded in the fight between United
States cavalrymen and Carranzista
troopers at Donna on Friday, in
which fifteen Mexicans were killed
and three seriousiy wounded, accord
ing to official information from the
American military authorities, Donna
is on the Rio Grande, 50 miles north
of Brownsville. The vigilance of the
United States patrols there has been
increased as a result of the fears that
the Mexicans may try to make a sur.
prise attaci.
High military officiale have taken
the stand that American soldiers are
warranted in firing across the Rio
Grande at Mexicans who are shooting
a} United States broperty, and this
¥ conelusion resulted in the order to
“shoot to Kkill” issued to-day. ‘

Diplomats Confer on
Carranza's Proposal
By LAURENCE TODD.
(Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—The Mexi
can conference between Secretary of
State Lansing and the Ambassadors
of Argentina, Brazil and Chile and
the Minister sos Bolivia, Urguay and
Guatemala convened at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon at the Hotel Biltmore
None of the conferees would venture
an opinion on the outcome of the
conference or the possibility of its
effect upon conditions in Mexico.
Just before the conference opened
it was reported that Secretary of
State Lansing would lay before the
Pan-American diplomats private in
formation to the effect that General
Carranza will refuse to give up his
military power and permit a general
election until the end of the war In
Europe.
The first step leading toward recog.
nition of Carranza was the busiess
before to-day's conference of Secre
tary Lansing, Ambassadors Naon of
Argentina, DaGama of Brazil and
Suarez-Mujica of Chile and Ministers
DePena of Uruguay, Calderon of Bo
livia and Mendez of Guatemala.
General Carranza, “first chief” of
the Constiutionalist forces, had suz
gested that he meet the conferees to
discuss “international questions” af
fecting Mexico. His representatives
in Washington have convinced the
State Department that by “interna
tional questions” he means the settle

—for the damage done thelr property
in Mexico during the past four years
of warfare in that country,

ifs at last ready to agree that Car
ranza's proposals should be explained
to the conferees by Carranza himself
or one of his spokesmen. According
ly, it was understood that to-day's
program would include:
First—A vote by the conferees ns
to whether Carranza shall be allowed
to plead his cause for recognition. If
this vote is favorable, the Carranza
government will be so potified at once,
SBecond—To suggest that the con
ferees can not come to the Mexican
border, hence Carranza must send a
delegate or delegates to meet the del.
egates In Washington or New York
Third—To state to Carranza that

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-—Secre
tary Garrison will ask Congress, if
President Wilson gives his approval,
for $250,000,000 to strengthen the na
tion’'s military defenses.
His estimates are now practically
complete and ready for submission
to the President. The last Congress
aprropriated only $109,000,000 for the
military establishment, including the
army, the State militia, fortifications
and West Point.
Whether Congress will be able teo
grant the Secretary's estimate, how
ever, is problematical.

With an increase In bank clearings
of more than two milllon dollars over
the same week last year, business and
business sentiment In Atlanta were
decidedly looking up Saturday, and
optimists were found on every corner.
The jump in cotton was largely re
sponsible for it, but the merchants
reported a general improvement 1n
business.
Atlanta clearing house reports for
the week were $13,675,618. In this
week of 1914 they were $11,313,385,
this year's increase being $2,362,231.
The clearings for Saturday alone
were $2,336,965, an increase of $765,-
541 over the same Saturday last year.
The jump in spot cotton in Atlanta
Lo past ten cents, and reports of sales
at eleven cents and higher In small
town markets, gave business a stimu
lus. There was a prevalent opinion
among business men that this price
would hold up unless a rush of sell
ing comes on and breaks the market.
The belief among political econo
mists that the British embargo will
be modified lent a better tone to busi
ness, also. They pointed out that the
western meat packers and their big
linfluence were now joined with South.

Lerference with the commerce of this
