LOAST ARTILLERY [5 GENT
T 0 A BORDER GUARDIAN
Bovernment could not be held respon
::ble for deserters, as it could for
val soldiers, they claimed.
Americans Blamed,
Another interesting angle developed
by the Mexicans is an effort to blame
American authorities for failure to
put down the outlaws before their
crimes were started. They are re
calling the case of Jose Inez Salazar,
who organized his mysterious revolu
tion in El Paso Mexican secret serv
fce.men warned American officers,
vut Salazar was suffered to cross the
border, and is now somewhere in
Mexico, bent on some task which any
day may bring another black deed to
the long record of Mexico.
For the Glen Springs killings Mex
icans blame Antonio Villareal, old
professional disturber., They say that
for weeks he has been preparing a
raid and gathering cutthroats.
They claim to have warned the
American secret. seryice In this in
stance, too, and declare that their
warnings were ignored.
Agents of certain “interests,” Mexi
cans claim, have been responsible for
& number of alarming stories calcu
lated to cause a break between the
Governnients, if a break could be
brought about in this manner. In
this connection it is Interesting to
note thet A. J. McQuatters, a min
ing man, was barred from last night's
conference, at the request of Minister
of War Obregon, McQuatters has
been within listening distance of the
conference since it began. The Mex
ilcans pointed out that they brought
rone but military representatives to
the conferences, as had been request
ed by General Scott, ¢
The State Guardsmen ordered out
by President Wilson are gathering all
through the border States, according
to advices received here today. Con
siderable red tape is involved in their
mobilization, which will delay their
being placed on duty for a week, at
least.

Mexican Agitators
Are Now Laying Low
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, May 10.—Con
vinced that the United States Gov
srnment at last is in earnest in its
W to suppress Mexican outrages,
ican agitaters along the border
are “laying low,” according to special
reports received by the Department
of Justice from its agents on the ber
der. Officiels say that they are not
relaxing their vigilance along the
border, but they feel that, for the
'K:uent. at least, the Mexicans who
ve been causing most trouble will
fear to raise their heads.
- Wholesale arrests have been made
during the past month, and still more
are expected as the result of the new
investigation instituted by Attorney
General Gregory to determine wheth
#r the latest raids over the border
j%og-c aided or planned by Arnericans,
exicans or Germans on this side,
. The end of “watchful waiting” in
Mexico ™sbelieved to be in sight. Con
vinced that a break with Carranza in.
evitably must come, even though the
.parieys between Scott and Obregon
should result in an agreement—some
thing oficials consider unlikely—army
officers are perfecting all plans for the
sending of additional forces to the
porder. .
Last night's order to some 1,000
coast artillerymen to report at San
Antonio as infantry is believed to be
the forerunner of orders to the avail
able force of 13,000 men of this branch
::'uu service to proceed to the bor
fder, In addition, it is considered cer
fain that within a very short time
‘Additional National Guard forces will
_be ordered out for active service. |
Already the White House and the
War Department are being besieged
with requests from the organized mi
litia for a chance for fleld service, It
* understood for the present no or
! will be issued until after General
Funston has had an opportunity to
adjust stations for the troops placed
‘at his disposal yesterday.
~_But as soon as these men are at
their stations, orders for reinforce
ments will be issued, as it now is the
intention of the Administration to
make the border bandit-proof.

ed to any extent, and it ir known that
Pershing has ordered that every pos
sible precaution be taken to prevent
a surprise attack at any point,
The belles has attained conviction
in the minds of practically every army
officer here in Washington that the
raid on Glen Springs was ordered by
a Carranzista official, and that it was
conducted by Carranzista troops.
The denial by Ambassador Desig
riate Arredondo is not accepted by the
army officers who know just what is
going on on the border. They de
clared that the effort to blame-al of
'the trouble on the Magoonigtas, wha
are known chiefly as the “Mexican L
W. W.,” was forecast by official state
mernts recently gizen out in Mexico
City.
| And in this connection attention
again is directed to the fact that the
Ambassador Designate himself is ad
mittedly strongly anti-Ameriecan.
- Although it is known that the Pres.
ident is anxious to avoid general in
tervention In Mexico, is prepared to
make as many concessions as possi
ble to give Carranza his opportunity
to demonstrate that he can control
the situation, the general feeling in
official circles today was that all that
would be obtained if Obregon and
Beott reach an agreement will be a
postponement of the time when this
country must restore order south of
the Rio Grande, . 1
Mass Troops on Border. |
It is expected, should an agree
ment be reached between Obregon |
and Scott, that the American troops
will b® massed along the border and
preparations quietly continue for the
time when drastic action will be
forced. Very few officials here bu-“
lieve that Carranza will he able to
control matters very much longer,
and when the break comes conditions |
s 0 chaotic as to force actlon by the
United States are certain to result, |
There still is much mystery con
cerning the whereabouts of Felix Diaz, |
He is somewhere in the south of
Mexico, and officials would not be
surprised to learn at any time thut‘
he had started his march northward
against Carranza. It is understood
here that Diaz has practically unlim- |
ited financial resources, and that he
bas sufficient arms and munitions to
maintain a very formidable revolu
tionary movement. There are many
officials in Washington, especially in
Congress, who favor the Diaz move
ment, as they claim he would be
able to command the financial sup
port which Carranza has failed to get,‘
and that if he got control of the Gov
ernment he would be able to main- |
tain it. ‘
And officials very frankly state that
the great danger of the Carranza rule}
is his utter inability to raise money
to meet the obligations he assumed
when he secured recognitien.
General Scott today. reported to the
War Department that his conference
with Obregon last night lasted until
shortly before midnight, breaking ‘up
without any agreement being reached,
Secretary Baker sald General Scott
had reported that the views of Car
ranza regarding the disposition of the
new troops for border duty were dis
cussed throughout the evening. No
counter proposals to the American
plans have been made. The confer
ence was to be continued today, Gen
eral Scott reported.

(By International News Service.) I
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (via Gal
veston), May 10.—The newspaper El
Pueblo today publishes the following
statement from the Minister of For
eign Affairs: |
“The conferences between General
Obregon and General Scott have end
ed s}tlnfnctorn_v. The forces of both
countries will in the future avoid such
cages as Columbus. The conferences
will be resumed only to settle the de
tails of the withdrawal of American
forces from Mexico.” |
The general public is hecoming un
easy over the border situation. This
feeling is reflected in a cablegram sent
to President Wilson by Dr, Atl, lead
er of the labor party, in which he
says: |
"Wae intellectuals of Latin America
earnestly ask that you do not permit
a peace-loving people like the Amer
leans to be dragged Into an adven
ture in which will perish the princi
ples of ecivillzation and tranquillity
and well-being of America,
“History will be most severe on the
Executive who does not prevent by all
means possible war ?ntween the
United States and Mexico.
“The Mexican people and those of
all Latin America want a ecategorical
declaration from you as to the po'ioy
you will observe toward these coun
tries.”

Mr. Alexander brought out the im

any sale of the road by the State to
private ownership. The State’'s own-

serve more than anything else to es

the one big piano and organ eoppor

knew what we were talking about,

will be taken before the time limit of
the sale expires.

ure in making it profitable,
wouldn’t there?
