FOUR THOUSAND SOLDIERS
WILL Be SENT TO TEXAS
Steps Taken to Avoid Delay in Case
Wilson Should Decide to Send
Military Expedition to Mexico.

Washington.-Abo 1000 soldiers
were Saturday ordered to Galveston,
Tex, and vicinity, the nearest seaport
adapted to the embarkation of troops
for Mexico.
They are not under orders to pro-
coed to Mexico, and it is the expecta-
ton and the hope Of the admihistra-
ton that it will not be necessary to
issue orders for such a movement.
The situation in that country, how
ever, is regarded as sufficient to war
rant the concentration of a force
strong enough to take possession of
a seaport and open the way for an
invasion of the country.
1t will be for President Woodrow
Wilson to determine whether such an
expedition shall be dispatched, al
though of course it is assumed that
he first will seek the guidance Of con
gress. Through trusted agents
though not directly, the president-elect
is understood to have expressed him
self in a position to acquire specific
knowledge as to all the details before
he comes to Washington on March 8.
