estimated that the corn crop of Ms

seems from tests carried on at the

be almost inestimable. With the acre

sage from Governor Richard f. Sloan
of Arizona asking protection for citi-
zens of Douglas from the fire Of Fed
erals and insurrectos; that he was
10th to endanger Americans in Mexico
by taking so radical step as send
ing American troops across the bor-
der to prevent further fighting.
! The President, in his telegram TO
the Governor, stated that the situa-
ton might justify him in ordering
troops to cross the border and at
tempt to stop the fighting or to fire
upon both contestants from the
American side. He hesitated TO take
such a step, however, because OF the
possibility OF resistance and greater
bloodshed and the danger OF having
his motives misconstruted and mis-
represented and arousing Mexicans
against many thousands OF Ameri-
cans now in Mexico and jeopardizing
their lives and property.
In view of the conditions, there
fore, the President felt that he
could not order the troops at Doug
las to cross the border. but he again
emphasized the advisability OF the
people of Douglas avoiding exposing
themselves to flying bullets
