wsshington.-The war department is-
sued orders to increase the force held
for guard duty ON the frontier or for
intervention in Mexico from $4,000 men
10 $4,000 men.
BY this order the coast defense artil-
lery troops, who are not q part Of the

IL Is estimated that on emergency $1,000
Of the troops can b. added to the 1000

braeed in the original order.
The war department has announced
that arrests will be promptly made OF
persons coming into this country who
are suspected of intending to recruit TO
play the bandit, or to establish juntas
in any Of the American towns.
While news at the state department
was rather pacific, the war departments
dispatches indicated that there must b.
no relaxation of the preparations for
guarding the frontier along its entire
length.
This difference in the news to the two
departments proved that the president
and the war department were acting on
advices which have come from private
but reliable sources.

WORLD INTEREST
IN kNOx'S TRIP
AMERICAN EXPECTED TO RESTORE
PEACE IN LATIN AMERICA.
America for Americans-European Pow.
ers, However, Want Interests
Protected.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. significance
attaches to the visit soon to be made
by Secretary Knox, at the direction OF
President Taft, to the countries border
ing ON the Caribbean sea.
European diplomats, recalling a re-
cent speech of Mr.. Knox before the New
York State Bar Association on the Mon
roes doctrine. look upon the proposed
trip with more than a passive interest.
That speech is now being interpreted as
the latest notice given by the United
States, that the principle of America
Tor Americans must b. observed
Central American diplomats we're
unanimous in their statements that the
seeretary's visit not only would allay
internal doubt a. TO the attitude OF the
United States government toward their
countries, but would warn off possible
encroachments of nations in the other
hemisphere.
The present state of unrest in many
Latin-Americdn countries, the efforts OF
the state department 70 maintain neu-
trality as between the republics OF the
south, and its endeavors to unravel their
financial tangles have proceeded, ii Is
said, not without the potential influ-
enee of world powers.
Particular attention was drawn by
number OF diplomats, discussing the
wide circulation now being given to Sec
retary knox's speech, to those portions
in which he advocated the immediate
adoption OF the loan conventions with
Nicaragua aad Honduras, now pending
in the United States senate. II was
pointed out that Mr.. Knox had urged
their passage because OF the eyer-increas-
ing political reason of avoiding the dan
ger of European ENHANCEMENT in the
affairs OF the countries surrounding the
Caribbean.
1t was pointed out that the adopted
policy OF the United States-to bolster
up those countries in trouble on this
consequence of the pressure from Eu-
ropean countries. To prevent interfer-
enee in countries where European finan-
eial interests have suffered losses through
the volatile and incompetent administra-
tions of Central American politicians,
the United States has taken a decided
stand, though not without meeting the
apprehensive scrutiny OF political par
ties in some of the republics.
IL is understood that aside from the
moral effect that Secretary Knox's visit
may have in removing suspicious of an
American territorial aggrandizement, the
heads of the various Central American
countries will receive personal eXplana-
tion OF the hopes of the United States
with reference TO the Panama canal
