Guerrilla Fighting on the Frontier May Lead United States to Rush Additional Troops to the Scene
12,000 MORE TROOPS OFFERED FUNSTON BY
 SECRETARY GARRISON
Lawless Conditions on BOr- der Are Without Political Significance Say Officials. Rangers Are Busy

Houston, Tex, August II. Governor Ferguson of Texas tonight telegraphed Presi- dent Wilson asking him to double the number of federal troops in the Rio Grande valley. He says conditions are now perilous and grave.
 Brownsville, Tex, August 1.-Practically every Amer ican citizen in three south ernmost counties of Texas, Cameron, Hidalgo and Starr, is resting under arms to- night in fear that the over wheiming Mexican popula- tion of this section may break out in a racial fight. 1 Washington, August 11.--Raiding and guerrilla fighting in Texas along 1 the Mexican border will cause strengthening of American forces there if Major General Funston re- quests it. Secretary Garrison of the war department and other officials insisted today, however, that any such troop movement had no connection with Mexican internal affairs and would be only for protection of Ameri- cans in Texas.
 l War department officials could get no full and satisfactory information of the character of the raiders. One re. port received here said about 1000 Car ranaa troops had been crossing into l Texas in the vicinity of Brownsville to rally Mexicans In the state toa an uprising.
 l Secretary Garrison said he had no n- | formation of that character and added that if carranza troops were found in Texas they would be disarmed and shot if they resisted Carranza off | Cials at San Antonio denied that anJ Carranza troops had crossed the line. l Texas rangers in Hidalgo county cap- tured flag bearing In Spanish the inscription, Army of Liberation for Mexicans in Texas and officers at Brownsville said that for several days 30 to 40 MeXicans. apparently soldiers. had been crossing into Texas each day

ficials reports of military operations
from the three sides, is censored and
garbled and gives only the picture of
fighting, without that of the PROSTATE
country under the heels of the fight
ers pressing from four sides. But from
eye witnesses returning from Polish
student refugees from the scourged
district and from letters to those who
have sought asylum here. there is a
mass of information on the real con
ditions at the scene of these gigantic
eastern operations. Much of this in
formation flows into the hands of Miss
Laurence Alma-Tadema, daughter of
the great English artist, who for
three months has been working day
and night as the secretary and direct
ing genius of the Polish relief COM
mittee. whose officers and patrons en-
brace about every name of note in
England-peers, cabinet members am
bassadors, artists and authors.
Think of the magnitude of this
appalling Polish tragedy" said Miss
Alma-Tadema to a representative of
the Associated Press. ut is difficult
for us in England or America, with
conditions serene, to cast the minds
eye across Europe and grasp the fact
that all the titanic eastern battles
are being fought on Polish soil. And
it is not only gigantic struggle of
| invading armies from without, one fol-
lowing another with all their train of
ruin and desolation, but it partakes
almost of civil conflict with Pole fight

A disposition to condne ones diet
to cold food and to indulge freely in
iced drinks, is one reason why consti-

summer, and there is no season when
bowel disturbances should be more
carefully avoided, as much serious

conditions.
To regulate the bowels and quickly
relieve even an aggravated case of
constipation, the combination of sim

commended by many physicians and

bloodiest engagements OF the entire
war.
The ultimate result of these de
feats was the liberation of that part
of the ancient Province of Lorraine
left to France after 1870 from the
occupation of the German army. The
German forces had penetrated 10 or
Is miles. They were not only driven
out before the first G November. but
since then the French have invaded
upper Alsace, of which they now hold
considerable part. This country
taken from France in the war Of
1901, has been reorganzed and
is now under control of civil gov.
ernment, which restored the school
and judicial system of France.
From the battle of Charleroi to
the end of the first year of the war
the Germans achieved no successes
on the western battlefront save the
slight advance at scissors during the
floods of the river Aisne, the advance
of Ypres, partially lost afterwards,
at the time of the first attack, with
the assistance of asphyxiating gas
The successes of the allies since
the battle of the Marne are in the
recapture of Thanh, Steinbach, Harts-
mansIWeilerkopf, Metzeral, La Fonte-
nellie, together with considerable ter
ritory in the Alsatian Vosges; the
capture of an entire German posi-
ton in the forest of lie Pretre, along
the wedge the Germans are still hold
ing in the French lines at St Mihiel;
an advance of mile along a front
of ten miles at Beausejour, in the
Champagne country; the capture OF
Neuve Chapelle by the British, the
capture of Notre Dame de Lorette,
Carency, and Neuyille st. Vaast, and
an advance of two to three miles
along a front about seven miles north
of Arras by the French, and the
clearing of the left bank of the
User of the enemy by the Belgian
army
"Never since the war began has
the French army been so fit to con
tinue it to a triumphant conclusion
as today We have not only carried
on the war with success during the
year but we have accumulated i'm
mense reserves of every necessity
for continuing the war until it has
been won. Our reserve troops in de-
pots and under training are relatively
greater than those of the Germans.
The army is absolutely confident. The
people, behind the army to man,
are equally so.
The French people, through no
fault of theirs, are suffering today,
but they are equal to every hardship,
every effort necessary to drive the
war to final victorious conclusion

POLAND'S SECOND TRAGEDY
PRAYER ON BATTLEFIELD

London, July 31.-Correspondence
of the Associated Press.-The desper-
ate fighting now going on around War
saw and throughout the eastern zone
of operations centers attention on the
colossal tragedy of Poland, the second
that unhappy country has endured,
the first having stirred America to its
depths when Kosciuszco went there to
tell Poland's own story and left its
memories in the statue of the Polish
liberator in one of the public squares
of Washington.
But that first tragedy was as moth
ing compared with what Poland is now
undergoing, the entire theater OF
eastern fighting being within the ter
ritory of the old kingdom of Poland,
with Russian armies trampling over
the country from the east, Austrian
armies from the south, and German
armies from the north and west, all
compressing Poland as in double vice
from four sides, marching and fighting
on a scale of unprecedented magni-
tude, and leaving a train of wreck
and desolation even greater than that
of Belgium or Serbia. This is the tes-
timony of disinterested eye witnesses,
Polish, English and American, who
have recently traversed the stricken
regions, including C. c. Gibson of the
Rockefeller Foundation, who declared
on his return that this was one of the
greatest tragedies the world had
known, the devastation of Belgium
shrinking in comparison.

| II OOO. 600 Russian Poles and about the
same number of Austrian and Prussian
Poles. All of them have that intense
| longing to see Poland rise again as a
unified kingdom. And yet of these
| 1000. 900 Poles, 100000 Polish sol
diers are fighting in the Russian ranks
and another 100000 are fighting in
theAustrian and German ranks-liter-
I ally brother against brother. One OF
the reports reaching me tells of body
| of Polish infantry on the Russian side,
charging at a body of the enemy, with
bayonets raised and the battle cries
ringing from both sides-only to dis
tinguish as they came to grips that
both were shouting the cry of Poland
and on that instant, as If inspired by
common impulse, every bayonet was
lowered and every man in the facing
ranks fell on his knees and in their
common language breathed the Lords
Prayer. That was Poland's prayer on
the battlefield of this terrible eastern
conflict.
Here is another thoroughly authen-
ticated case" said Miss Alma Tadema:
"A Polish infantryman raised his rifle
and fired point blank at an advancing
foe, only to see him pitch forward
and hear him cry out in Polish: "My
| God, | leave a wife and three chill
dren' And this agonized dying cry in
Polish rang in the ears of the brother
Pole who had fired the shot, torturing
him night and day until he literally
went mad and was taken from the
ranks, a raving maniac"
Scenes Described by Gibson
When Mr.. Gibson of the Rockefeller
! Foundation returned from Poland he
told Miss Alma-Tadema of the terrible
scenes he had witnessed in the strick-
en- regions. Together they planned
for extensive measures of relief, to be
sent through Germany with the ap-
proval of the British foreign office,
Germany consented, but the officials
here doubted the good faith of Ger

ed it was the joint funeral of twelve
children who had died that day; and

he noted an old woman who had
crawled sixteen kilometers to get a
handful of black bread. These were
merely few instances out of a great
number which led him to the conclu-
sion that the desolation in the wake
of the armies in Poland was greater
than that in Belgium where he had
made a similar inspection.

Paris, July 31.-A year of war
finds France is fit to continue the
struggle to the end and confident of
the outcome" says Count Adrien
Lannes de Montcbello in a review of
the first twelve months of hostilities
given to the Associated Press. Count
de Montebello, a recognized author
ity on military affairs, was one of the
strongest advocates Of the three-year
military service law, and its co-au-
| thor, with the former premier, Louis
Barthou. He was formerly deputy
from Rheims and vice-president of the
committee on military affairs of the
chamber of deputies. His grandfather
was Marshal Lannes at whose death
on the battlefield Of Essling Napoleon
is said to have wept
His review of the war follows:
France was not expecting war,
and her preparations therefore were
| less complete than those of her ad-
versaries who, knowing their inten'
tions. had accumulated an immense
supply of fighting material and dis
posed of their troops in such man
ner as to strike the most powerful
blow of which they were capable.
Germany threw against Belgium
and France 80 army corps, or almost
her entire military force as mobilized
in August. Under the impact of the
German advance the French armies,
with their British allies, suffered in
, itial reverses and great losses, es-
pecially in the battle OF Charleroi
While the French armies were in re-
treat a national ministry was formed

British armies stood on the line OF

They received the shock of more
than 100000 German troops, and
defeated them with somewhat inferior
forces. The Germans were Quilted
and outfought in a vast general ac'
ton over a line of more than l2O
miles.
"The French troops were too eX'
hausted by their fifteen days OF
