MOVE MERELY
PRECAUTIONARY
Again Asserted Invasion Of Mex
leo Is Not Contemplated.

Washington, March 22.-There Ia
no intention on the part OF the adj
miniStration 10 order the troops now
in Texas 10 cross the Rio Grande riv
er. President Taft has never thought
of issuing such an order. Under the
Constitution he is commander-in-chief
of the army and navy, but under the
Constitution also il is the right OF
congress to declare war. He never
suspected one of his close friends
said, that anybody in the country
such a step without the authority Of
congress
The paramount reason for sending
the troops TO Texas was TO be ready
for any emergency. The entire move
ment has been precautionary. The
president acted solely with view TO
protecting. the lives of Americans in
Mexico and OF keeping intact the hun
dreds or millions OF dollars worth OF
property there owned by United
States citizens.
The troops will be in Texas when
congress meers in April. Ii the revo-
luton grows and American interests
are threatened congress will have an
army of 10000 men within easy NOV
ing distance Of the trouble.
The president believes he has done
his part He has gone as far as he
could go and hopes ii will not be
necessary to go any further.
Congress to Decide Course.
IT, later, congress feels that the lives
and property of Americans in Mexico
are in danger and interference is
necessary the president will follow its
will Until congress gives the word.
though, there will be no movement Of
troops at the presidents dictation ex-
cept on the American side OF the RiC
Grande.
The president has not paid the
slightest attention 10 reports that
progressives III congress, and notably
in the senate, intend TO make political
tapttil Out oil luis movement Oh troops.
He told friends that he cared abso-
Mtely nothing for any adverse effect
politically which his action might have.
He thought that American lives and
property might be in danger and he
acted. If some progressives in con-
gress wish to kick up row the presi-
dent will not seek to call them Off He
told callers that he merely did what
he regarded as his duty under his oath
of Office.
The reports that the troops are to
be withdrawn from Texas and the Dor
der at the request OF Ambassador de la
Barra was denied by the president in
conversation with friends. Senior de
la Barra, ii was said, never requested
this government to withdraw the
troops. In the eyes of government of
ficials here he could not have made
such n request properly. The troops
are in the United States and for the
present it is intended that they shall
be used In maintaining neutrality.
