GEN. BLISS WARNS
MEXICAN OFFICERS
Firing Across the American
Border Will No Longer
Be Tolerated

Washington, April 10.-Brigadier Cen
eral Bliss, in command of the American
forces on the Mexican frontier, reported
TO the war department that having re-
peating falling of Mexican bullets into
American territory he had again warned
the commanders of the consttutionalists
and the federal forces now battling at
Naco. Mexico, that more firing across
the border would not be tolerated
Both the commanders, he said, had
promised to do their utmost to prevent
cause for complaint.
General Bliss reported the falling oil
many bullets into the American town OF
Naco, separated by street so yards wide
from the Mexican town and said that
while this shooting into American terri
tory was not malicious it could not be
considered accidental. American live1
and property have been in constant
jeopardy for nearly week.
General Bliss thinks his force of Amer
lean soldiers is adequate to control situa-
ton although the difficulty is inereas-
ing by the collection of many outside
people in the town.

lis just this: Shall we have good inmi-
grants or bad immigrants in our midst?
When the immigrant arrives here, 1t all
depends upon the surroundings they fall
into and on one occasion We had the ex-
ample of a beautiful woman with three
little children who had been told by some
emissary of evil that she must send her
children to our immigrant home, but that
she must go elsewhere, giving her an adj
dress. She was told that that was the
American custom
She investigated 1t, her mother love
rredominating. and fearing to part with
her children. she asked our port mission
ary at Galveston, when she arrived. He
saw that she had been duped, and told
her that he would take care of her and
her children. The poor ignorant woman
thanked him and took his advice and the
result was that she was saved perhaps
life of shame and disgrace"
