ro Cit. to comc 70 Vashingion At
once for Constellation on the situation.
The administrator seems at last TO
have reached decision 20 do some

The cstion Of the immediate rccog-

point which is now receiving consider

Washington with such report. and
the mobilization Of American forces N
the Texas border promptly followed.

Whether any foreign nation other
