10000 Troops Sent to Mexican Border.
Before President Taft leaves Office
on March 4, he will have concentrat-
ed at Galveston, Tex, close to 10000
United States troops ready to board
transports and depart for Mexico Oh a
few hours notice.
The president is just as much OPP
posed TO intervention as he has been
for two years. He is determined, how
ever, that he will lay the cards or
the table" so that when Mr.. Wilson
becomes president, il crisis arises,
all he will have to do is to play them.
Through Secretary Hilles, the pres
ident announced that the dispatch OF
Il brigade OF troops 10 Galveston was
part of the original precautionary plan
and that il would be followed by an
other order which would send be-
tween 1900 and 1000 more regulars
10 the boundary.
Galveston is within three days of
Vera Cruz, the seaport OF Mexico City.
Four transports will be ready there TO
take the troops south if the contin-
gency arises and with battleships on
the Atlantic and Pacific near Mexican
ports, the president feels that Mr..
Wilson will have no cause to complain
of unpreparedness if the unexpected
happens.
