T 0 ND BORDER GUARDIANS
Government could not be held respon
sible for deserters, as it could for
loyal soldiers, they claimed.
Americans Blamed.
Another interesting angle developed
by the Mexicang is an effort to blame
American authorities for fallure 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 how somewhere in
Mexico, bent on some task which any
day may bring another black deed to
the long record of Mexico
For the Glen Bprings killings Mex
icans blame Antonio Villareal, old
professional disturber, They say thal
for weeks he has been preparing a
raid and gathering cutthroats.
They claim to have warned the
American secret service in this in
stance, 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 i Interesting to
note that A. J. McQuatters, a min
ing man, wag barred from last night's
conference, at the request of Minister
of War Obregon. McQuatters hasl
been within listening distance of the
conlerence since it began. The Mex
icans pointed out that they brought
none 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.—Cone
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
reportg received by the I)epartr{;ent
of Justice from its agents on the bor
der. Officials say that they are not
reluxing their vigilance along the
border, but thay feel that, for the
present, at least, the Mexicans who
have been causing most trouble will
fear to ralse 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 laiest raids over the border
were aided or planned by Armericans,
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 though the
parieys between Socott 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
Antondo as infantry is believed to be
the forerunner of orders to the avail
able force of 13,000 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
litia 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
ug- disposal yesterday.
t 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 lolomd‘rmhd.
Incidentally, officials are closely
watching the Carransista troops who
are along the lines held b{ General
Pershing. They are not being trust-

ed to any extent, and it is kilown' 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 ofMcial, and that it was
conducted by Carranzista troops.
The denial by Ambassador Desig
rate Arredondo ig not accepted by the
army officers who know just what is
going on on the border., They de
clared that the effort to blame all of
the trouble on the Magnonistas, who
are known chiefly as the “Mexican L
W. W.)" was forecast by officlal state
mernts recently given out in Mexico
City.
And in this connection attention
agaln i directed to the fact that the |
Ambassador Designate himself is ad
mittedly strongly anti-American.
Although it is known that the Pres.
ident is anxious to avoid general in
tervention in Mexlico, is prepared te
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 cireles todday 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 betwean Obregon
and Scott, that the American troops
will be miassed along the border and
preparations quietly continue for the
time when drastic action will be
forcad. Very few officials here be
lleve that Carranza will be able to
control matters very much longer,
and when the break comes conditions
80 chaotic as to force action by the
United States are cbrtain 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
surprigced to learn at any time that
he had started his march northward
against Carrafza. It is understood
here that Diaz has practically unlim
ited financial resources, and that he
has sufficient arms and munitions to
malintaln a very formidable revolu
tionary movement. There are many
officials in Washington, especially in
Congress, who favor the Diaz moVve
ment, as they claim he would be
able to command the finaneclal sup
port which Carranza has failed to get,
and that if he got control of the Gov
ernment he would be able to malin
tain it,
And officials very frankly state that
the =reat danger of the Carranza rule
is his utter Inability to raise money
to meet the obligations he assumed
when he gacured recognition.
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
pians have been made. The confer
ence was to be continued today, Gen
eral Scolt reported.

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (via Qal

Pueblo today publishes the following
statement from the Minister of For

“The cm’foreneu between General

“We intellectuals of Latin America

Solemn Dutyof U. S. To
Take Control of Mexico,
+ Says Governor of Texas
ÜBTIN, 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 is the belief of Governor James B,
Ferguson, of 'l‘r:.r(u,_l'n a signed state
ment :
Bince 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 Jjustifica
tion, and it is now our duty to do what
ever ls necessary to permanently pre
vent a recurrence of .further outrages
against our people. -
Millions of starving people in Mexico
ery for food and protection from the
assassin band. As one who hag hoped
against hope that d 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 control of that u‘nlortunltl
country and give to the Mexican people that stability of government
which they are now unable and helpless to establigh, 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.- .

District Attorney Chief Speaker
Before Credit Men’s Annual
Meeting.
Merchants who are members of the
Atlanta Assoclation of Credit Mecu
Wednegday were discussing the- ad
dress of Hooper Alexander, United
States District Attorney, who spoke
before the association’s annual
meeting at the Hotel Ansley Tuesday
night. He declared that the people
would never be relieved of unreason
ably high freight rates until a Gov
ernment ownership of railroads had
been established.
Mr. Alexander brought out the im
portance of extending the Waestern
and Atlantic Railroad to the sea, and
further impressed his opposition to
any sale of the road by the State to
private ownership. The State’s own
ership of the road, he declared, will
serve more than anything else to es
tablish falr- and equitable freight
rates for Georgia, and if it should be
sold the people might expect an in
creased burden of discrimination.
Reports were made 'to the credit
men by J. L. Baldwin, retiring presi
dent: J. W. Harlan, treasurer; E. L.
Adams, chairman of the adjustment
bureau; E. H. Choate, chairman of
the credit exchange bureau, and P.
P. Hanley, chairman of the fire insur
ance committee.
H. D. Carter was elected president
for the year. J. Leßoy Duncan was
elected first vice president; E. R. Pa
py, second vice president; J. W. Har
lan, treasurer, and Harry T. Moore,
secretary. .
The following executive committee
men ware elected; William Akers, T.
J. Bryan, P. P. Henley, for oné-Vear
term; T. L. Hoshal, Marcus Loeb and
E. G. Thomas, for two-year term.
Delegates to the convention of the
National Association of Credit Men,
which meets in Pittsburg, will be J.
L. Baldwin, H. D. Carter, K. Rosen

elected were William Akers, P. P,

This mortgage had been taken by
