II can be stated on the highest au-
thorlty, however, that should the
president decide that Intervention Is
the only course open TO him he Will
call congress in special session and
demand Of 1t the authority to send
the American army across the bor-

this.
ffiends Of the president realize that
he would give the order TO invade
Mexico only with the greatest reluct-
dnce. They are aware that Il al

Orders More Troops.
The president ,today authorized
General Wood, chief Of staff, United
states army to send two more regl-
mcnts of cavalry to the Texas bor-
der. The regiments will be sent from
Fort Riley Kan, and Fort Russell,

Washington information, is utterly
unable to cope with the revolution
lists, ana there seems TO be little in
dication that the situation will i'm

few days has communicated p demand
that President Madero be more ac-
tive in the protection OF Americans
He is hopeful thot this reminder

Southern situation Fearful
The situation south OF the Mex

Americans, because the revolution
lists have much less fear Of an Ameri.

the north
The only favorable plan for tho
protection Of Americans would be to
send troops 10 some gulf port OF
Mexico. The trouble is in the land.

chance in the south to display troop
crs IN force and thereby instnl re-
spect for the United states. as they
have along the Texas frontier,
only one solution Of the problem
has been brought forward and that
Is Intervention Mr., Taft Is still hope-
'ul, however, that Presld Mt Madoro
will improve conditions so that such
