TELLS mexico TO
BE NOT Fearful
TAFT CONFERS WITH AMBASSA'
DOR BEFORE LEAVING.
IS A VALUABLE LESSON
Movement Slap at Critics of the
Army-But the Revolution Must
End

Washington. d, c. March 9.-The
scene Of activity in the movement OF
troops to the Mexican border has
shifted now to the long line which
they will occupy, and official Wash
ington has become merely the receiv-
ing station for reports showing the
progress of the maneuvers anr tho
situation as 1t is,
Before leaving for Atlanta today
President Taft had a conference with
Senior De LaBarra, the Mexican ann
bassador and assured him that the
Mexican government and the people
need have no concern as to the atten
tion ODE paid to the movement of the
administration, no matter what gossip
might have say
The ambassador stated that he was
more than satisfied with the Pres
idens assurance as to the lnterna-
tional conditions with Mexico, but IL
Is said that the discussion had at no
time taken on the proportions Of what
diplomats call representation"
Wheels of Justice Too Slow.

citizens were indicted today in an at
tempt to lynch VIM. Ford, a negro
now under sentence of death for as
sauIting Miss Flora Angpn "a few

VIII Prove Valuable Lesson.
Washington, d. c. Mar. 9.-There is
--. y general belief that hte rapid move
ment Of troops in Texas and Southern
California will speedily show that the
net result in the end will constitute
a valuable lesson in the quick mobll-
i2ation In affecting a lighting force
that vill prove a revolution to the
country and to the critics, especially
to those of the army, and the justin.
cation Of the diplomatic explanations
that have been given out from Wash
ington.
There is no longer any doubt that
the sudden movement on the part of
the American government was the re-
suit Of either unofficial representation
regarding the situation in Mexico or
that the intimation that the several
European powers were sounding each
other as to the deslrabillty of talking
to the United States at an early date.
At an yrate the matter was put up
to the administration in such a way
as to call for the quicest sort of ac-
ton.
Encourage Recruits
Washington, March 9.-There will
be more than two hundred vacancies
in the grade of second lleutenants in
the United States army to be filled by
appointment between now and the first
Of July.
To Stop Fillbustering.
Washington, March 9.--All doubt as
to the purpose in sending twenty
thousand troops TO the Mexican bor-
der has at last been swept aside. The
United States has determined that the
, revolution in the republic in the south
must end. The American troops have
been sent to form a sort Of n military
wall along the Rio Grande to stop fill
clustering and to see that there is no
further smuggling of men and arms
across the boundary.
It Is believed that in this, sources OF
advantage for the inssurrecto move
ments, which have distributed con-
ditions generally 70 rnearly year
without accomplishing responsible re-
suits, viii speedily terminate.
