Government could not he held respon
sible for deserters, as it could for
loyal 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
ice men warned American officers,
but 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. o
They claim to have warned the
American secret service in this in
stapce, too, and declare that their
warnings were ignored,
Agents of certain “interests,” Mexi
cans claim, have been responsible for
a number of alarming stories calcu
lated to cause a break between the
Governments, if a break could be
brought about in this manner. In
this connection it is interesting to
note that 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
icans pointed out tkat they brought
none but military representatives to
the conferences, as had been request
ed by General Scott,
The State Guardsmen ordered out
by President Wilgon are gathering all
through the border States, according
to advices received here today. (on
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
ernment at last is in earnest in its
policy to suppress Mexican outrages,
Mexican agitaters along the border
are “laying low.” according to special
reports received by the Department
of Jusiice from its agents on the bor
der. OMclals say that.they are not
reluxing their vigilance along the
border, but they feel that' for the
present, at least, the Mexicans who
have 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
er the latest raids over the border
were alded or planned by Araericans,
Mexicans or Germans on this side.
The end of “watchful waiting” in
Mexico is believed to be in sight. Con
vinced that a break with Carranza in
evitably must come, even thbugh the
parleys between Scott and Obregon
should result in an agreement-—some
thing officials consider unlikely—army
officers are perfecting all plans for the
sending of additional forces to the
border,
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 18,000 men of this branch
of the service to proceed to the bor
der. In addition, it is considered cer
tain 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
litla for a chance for fleld service, It
is understood for the present no or
ders 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.
Not lohm Trusted.
Incidentally, officlals are closely
watching the Carranzista troops who
are dlong the lines held by General
Pershing. They are not being trust-

ed to any extent, and it is known that
Pershing has ordered that every pos
sible precaution be taken to prevent
a surprise attack at any point,
The bhelief has attained conviction
in the minds of practically every army
officer here in Washington that the
raid on (}len Springs was ordered by
a Carranzista official, and that it was
conducted by Carranzista troops.
The denial by Ambassador Desaig
nate Arredondo is not accepted by the
army officers who know just what is
going ort on the horder, They de
clared that the effort to blame ali of
the trouble on the Magoonistas, who
are known chiefly ag the “Mexican L
W. W.,” was forecast by official state
merts recently given out in Mexlco
City.
And in this connection attention
again is directed to the fact that the
Ambassador Designate himself i 8 ad
mittedly strongly anti-American.
Although it is known that the Pres
ident is anxious to avold general in
tervention in Mexlico, 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
Scott reach an agreement will be a
postponement of the time when this
country must restore order south of
the Rio Grande,
Mass Troops on Border.
It is expected, should an agree
ment be reached between Obregon
and Scott, that the American troops
will be massed along the border and
preparations quietly continue for the
‘time when drastic actlon will be
foread. Very few officials here be
llteve that Carranza will be able to
control matters very much Ilonger,
and when the break comes conditions
s 0 chaotic as to force action 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 eof
Mexico, and officials would not be
surprised to learn at any time that
he had started his march northward
agalnst Carranza, It is understood
here that Diaz has practically unlim
ited financial resources, and that he
has sufficient arms and munitions to
maintain a very formidable revolu
tionary movement. There are many
officlals in Washington, especially in
Congress, who favor the Diaz move
ment, as they claim he would be
able to command ®he financial sup
port which Carranza has falled 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 recognition,
General Scott today reported to the
War Department that his conference
with Obrefon last night lasted until
shortly before midnight, breaking up
without any agreement being reached,
Secretary Baker said 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 heen made. The confer
ence was to be continued today, Gen
eral Scott reported. 1

Everything Amicable,
Declares Mexico City
(Bv International News Service.)
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (via Gal
veston), May 10.—The newspaper El
Pueblo today publishes the following
statement from the Minister of For
elgn Affairs:
“The conferences between General
Obregon and General Scott have end
ed satisfactorily. Thé forces of both
countries wil! in the future avoid such
cases 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 becoming un
easy over the bhorder situation. This
feeling is reflected in a cablegram sent
ta President Wilson by Dr. Atl, lead
er of the labor party, in which he
says:
“We intellectuals of Latin America
earnestly ask that you do not permit
a peace-loving people like the Amer
feans to be Aragged into an adven
ture in which will perigh the princi
ples of civilization and tranquillity
and well-being of America.
“History will be most severe on the
Executive who does not prevent by all
means possible wh?r between the
United States and Mexlco,
- “The Mexican people and those of
all Latin America want a categorical
declaration from you as to the po'iey
yo'u will observe toward these coun
tries.”

Solemn Duty of U. S. To
Take Control of Mexico,
Says Governor of Texas
USTIN, TEXAS, May 10.—That it
A is the solemn duty of and the
proper time for the United States
to intervene in Merico and restore peace
there ig the belief of Governor James E.
Ferguson, of Tezas, in a signed state
ment :
Since we have started we may as well
finish the job. A temporary protection
of the border will accomplish nothing.
If we catch and punish one bandit horde
another takes its place tomorrow. If a
ruler is put in power today, he is be
trayed tomorrow. Loyalty to any leader
is lacking and patriotism is unknown.
The ruthless spilling of American blood
on American soil now gives us justifica
tion, and it is now our duty to do what
ever is necessary to permanently pre
vent a recurrence of further outrages
against our people. .
Millions of starving people in Mexico
cry for food and protection from the
assassin band. As one who has hoped
against hope that a ruler might arise to
restore peace in Mexico, as one who has viewed the Mexican people for
a lifetime, and as one who has studied their ways and customs; as one
without bias or prejudice, as one who has indorsed and now indorses the
policy of the present administration; as one who has measured hsi words
and is now mindful of the position here announced and its consequences, |
have come reluctantly to the conclusion that it is now the solemn duty of
the United States to enter Mexico and assume coptrol of that unfortunate
country and give to the Mexican people that stability of government
which they are now unable and helpless to establish, whether it atkes ten
or fifty years to do it. To do less will be to shirk our responsibility to
our national honor”and our duty to the Mexican people.

before the association’s annual

horses and everything, and do it
