WANTS RANGERS
WHO CAN SHOOT
Texan Governor Stirred by
Latest Mexican Outrage.
AMERICAN KiDkAP Pc D
Cameron County Citizens Appeal To
the Governor For Protection
Against Mexican
Marauders.

Austin, Tex.-Reports OF new dis
orders along the Mexican border, in
cluding the attempted kidnapping Of an
American citizens by FIVE Mexicans,
caused Governor o. B. Colquitt to order
the ranger force recruited with men
who can shoot"
81 have instructed Captain Hughes
to look for more men suited for the
ranger service. My instructions to
him are to get men who can shoot and
will shoot when necessary" said Gov
ernor Colquitt
Captain Hughes commands the
ranger force, which has headquarters
the extreme southeastern section Of
the State. Brownsville, opposite Mata-
mores, Mexico, is the county seat
Cameron county citizens asked the
Governor for protection. Several fill
clustering expeditions have been re-
ported this week operating along that
part of the Texas border.
Two kilograms formed the basis Of
the Governors action in ordering the
Ranger force increased. The first re-
ported the kidnapping of an Ameri-
can, Charles Ballard, by five Mexicans,
near Carrizo Springs. The second was
the petition from Cameron county citi-
zens.
Ballard was tied by the MeXicans
and hustled to the border, according to
the report made to the Governor but
while the party was crossing the Rio
Grande, he cut the rope which held
him and escaped by diving. Ballard's
captors shot at him without effect sew
eral times and then made good their
escape Sheriff Gardner, of Dimmitt
county, went in pursuit with posse,
and the rangers and United States
Army border patrol also began search
for the men, but they were thought to
have escaped into Mexico.
The Cameron county petition de-
clared murder and robbery are being
committed freely" and appealed for
Ranger protection. The killing of two
men, in both instances wealthy Mexi-
cans, was cited.
The kidnapping was reported by w.
T. Kardner sheriff of Dimmit county,
of which Carrizo Springs is the county
seat. The town is about 35 miles from
the border.

THE BULGARIAN
QUEEN COMING
Eleonora's visitto United States
Set for May.
WILL HAVE A LARGE PARTY
She Will Be the First Reonino
Sovereign Ever To Come To This
country-LikeIy To Embark
On the lmperator.

Sofa-It has been definitely decided
that Queen Eleonora of Bulgaria. &C.
companied by an extensive suite, will
visit the United States next May. The
trip will probably be begun about the
middle of May and il will last six or
eight weeks. Details of the length Of
the stay Of the Queen and her en-.
tourage in America and the itinerary
Of the trip are now being worked out.
During her stay in the United States
the Queen hopes to deliver a series of
lectures in the principal cities with the
object Of placing before the American
public the real position of Bulgaria re-
garding the late war. She viii also
make an appeal for help in behalf of
the thousands Of refugees now starv-
ing in Bulgaria. A representative Of
the Queen will leave for New York
within the next few days to arrange
details
The visit is the result of the deep in
terest in the United States which King
Ferdinand and Queen Eleonora have
long held and which has been strength
ened by the close association of the
King and Queen with the American
surgeons who were in charge of the
Bulgarian hospitals during the recent
war
II was at first reported that King
Ferdinand himself proposed to visit
the United States in 1915, but the
Queens intense desire to make the
trip, coupled with the fact that her
visit will relieve the United States Of
the diplomatic embarrassments of a
state visit from an actual reigning
monarch, resulted in her wish being
granted.
1t is probable that Queen Fleonora
will proceed from Sofia to Hamburg as
a German princess. There she will
embark, if her arrangements will fit in,
on the steamship Imperator. The suite
of Queen Eleonora will include. in ad-
dition to some diplomatists, aides-de-
camp from the smartest guard regi-
ments and ladies' in waiting. who will
wear their picturesque native cos
tunes.
Queen Eleonora will be the first
reigning sovereign of Europe to visit
the United States.

BRITISH ARMY
IS DEAORALIzED
Officers Resign Rather Than
Fight Ulster.
THE KING AS PEACEMAKER.
Crisis confronts the Government
Hsmpered In the Movement OF
Troops To Ulster BY Lack
of Commissioned Officers.

London.-The governments military
precautions TO preserve order in
Ulster have precipitated crises with
out parallel in the history of the Brit.
ish army. Rather than be placed in
position where they might be called
upon to act against the Ulster Coyen-
anters, numbers Of officers have re-
signed their commissions.
While the War Office refuses to Say
how many have resigned, popular be-
lief, based on reports from the differ
ent regiments, is that the number Of
Withdrawals has crippled the whole
military organization in Ireland and
prevented carrying out the orders for
moving several large bodies of troops.
Public curiosity is at fever heat
over the question of how the govern
ment is TO deal with the designations.
The Liberal sentiment is that the
seeding officers should be court.mar-
tialed. Many Conservatives argue that
the situation amounts to civil war and
that the officers should have liberty
10 choose which faction they should
ally themselves with.
Summons To Roberts.
The entrance of King George on the
scene as peacenaker was the dramatic
event Of the day. He had long confer
ences with the Prime Minister, Mr.
Asquith, the Secretary Of State for
War, Colonel Seely, and several high
officers and afterward summoned Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, who has been
much criticized by the Liberals for
utterances which they construed as
encouragement TO the officers to refuse
TO obey orders.
From the palace the veteran field
marshal drove directly to the War
Office, where he had a long talk with
the secretary for war.
In the meantime the movement of
troops continued in Ireland. The CEN
ter of interest shifted to Curragh, %
miles from Dublin, where the Third
Cavalry Brigade, under General Cough,
and the Fourteenth Infantry Brigade,
under Colonel Rolt, are stationed.
OeH. 'oII Arthur fhSeL, colundHulHS
the forces in Ireland, spent the day in
camp. He held conference with so
officers of the Curragh, Dublin, Kildare
and Newbridge garrisons. 1t was said
that orders had arrived for the dis
patch Of the Third Brigade to Ulster,
but that these could not be carried
into execution because practically all
the officers had resigned. Orders for
the dispatch of the Sixteenth Lancers
also failed of execution by reason of
the same wholesale retirements Of
officers.
