TR00PS|A|RF READY
TO CROSS BORDER
Orders issued to Prevent
Killing Of Americans.
WILL ALSO be REINF0 RCED.


Washington Determined that no
more American lives shall be sacrificed
as result Of fghting on the Mexi-
can border, the President ordered the
United States troops along the Rio
Grande to be reinforced and gave
warning that firing into American ter
ritory must be stopped, even though
it be necessary to cross the boundary
line to enforce compliance.
The order, the most sweeping that
has gone out from the White House
in the present situation, was issued
after conference between President
Taft. Secretary Of War Stimson and
Acting Secretary Of State Huntington
Wilson.
In addition to sending another regi-
ment of infantry and three batteries
Of field artillery to the Mexican line
orders were issued to division com
manders throughout the country to
hold their men in readiness to move
at a moments notice
Army establishment Prepared.
The acute situation in Mexico has
had the effect of putting the army
establishment in high state of pre-
paredness and mobilization on the Rio
Grande could be effected quickly il
the occasion arose.
The Mexican government, it is un-
derstood, will be advised of the inten-
ton of the United States to prevent
at all hazards repetition of the
casualties due to stray bullets coming
across the line which marked the
fighting during the Madero revolution
at several towns along the border.
A neutral zone along the border win
be insisted upon, Ain which fighting
must cease This zone the United
States intends to have respected.
The twenty-sccond Infantry and
Batteries A, B and C of the Third
Field Artillery will make up the re-
Inducements and will be sent to Ell
Paso from San Antonio.
Troops Resting On Their Arms.
Troops have been practically rest
ing on their arms for several weeks
past as result of the serious condi-
tion OF affairs below the international
line. The Army War College some
time ago completed plans for q new
mobilization, and it would be matter
Of only a few hours to have troops
on a train and ready for another
"maneuver division"
Aim To Prevent Intervention.
The present mobilization will not
mean intervention. 1t Is rather the
Governments final effort to prevent
Intervention. There can be no inter
vention except by authority of Con-
gress. Mr.. Taft may soon send q
message to Congress on the subject.
He is consulting on the situation.
The ADMINISTRATORS policy is
especially shaped to prevent excuse
for any attack on Americans still in
Mexico.
