ON MOVING
OF TROOPS
Persistent Reports Say Border Con.
ditions are Growing Worse; Agi-
tators Seeking to Arouse Mex
leans Against Americans
By United Press.

By United Press.
Washington, Sept REPORTS con-
tinues persistent at the capital that
the latest additions to Gen. Funston's
forces is due to the increasingly threat
ening border conditions. The war de-
partment has denied unofficially that
there is much to the report that Mex
leans are attempting to annex Ameri-
can territory.
The denial, which came indirectly
from high officials this morning, also
discredits reports that German money
is being spent to stir up trouble in
Mexico so that the United States will
be kept too busy to interfere in the
European struggle.
The third theory of reasons for the
movement now being advanced is that,
though there is no danger now, the
United States is already beginning a
movement to restore peace in Mexico,
possible with the use of arms.
Policing, Officials Say.
The official version Of the move
ment is that the sending Of troops
Tuesday night from Galveston to Har-
lingen Del Rio is merely part of the
general plan for the better policing OF
the Mexican border.

"The so-called scientific agricul-
