Texas Governor Asks Presi-
dent Wilson to Bring His
Influence to Bear.
WAR Department LIKELY
TO WAIT FUNSTON'S CALL
Confident He Is in Best Position to
Determine Needs of
Situation.

Gov. Ferguson of Texas tele-
graphed to President Wilson to-
day urging that he use the lnf1u-
ence of the administration with
Gen. Carranza to prevent further
raids on the Texas border. The
President. it was stated. will con-
suit Secretaries Lansing and Gar
rison before acting.
1t had been reported that Gov.
Ferguson planned to call upon
the President for more federal
troops to be sent to Brownsville,
but no such request has yet been
received.
1t is intimated that no additional
troops will be sent to the Texas border,
except on recommen dation of Maj. Gen.
Funston. who has been assured repeat
edly in the last few months by Secre-
tarys Garrison that any additional
troops he may need will be sent
promptly.
Funston's Judgment Trusted.
Secretary Garrison takes the position
that Gen. Funston is the only federal
official capable of judging the number
of troops needed. He has been directed
to give every possible aid to the state
of Texas in suppressing bandit raids.
AS yet he has made no request for ad-
ditional forces.
Gen. Funston transmitted a lengthy
report today telling Of the situation at
Brownsville and at DousiaS, Ai1.'
where battle between Carranza
troops and Villa forces Is impendi ne
precautions taken by federal forces to
guard trains which will carry Car
rama achievements from Laredo,
Tex, to Douglas, where they Will
cross the border to join Gen. Gales in
Aqua Prieta.
Order for Patrol of Border.
Secretary Garrison has renewed his
instructions to Gen. Funston. in COM
mand of United States troops on the
border, for the conduct of the border
patrols With the recognition OF the
Carranza government as the de facto
government of Mexico. the situation
has somewhat changed, and it is now
said, at the War Department that should
armed men in revolt against that gov
eminent cross the United States line
they would be considered as outlaws
to be captured and turned over to the
Carranza forces on request for extra.
dition. The United States does not rec
ognize that a state of belligerency
against the Carranza government
exists
Villa Troops Classed as Outlaws.
Should villa troops cross the border
and attack the Mexican town Of Aqua
Prieta from the Texas side. as press
reports from the scene have indicated
they might do. they would be treated
as outlaws, disarmed, and. in the event
of resistance, shot down by United
States troops.
Mai. Gen. Funston has full authority
to take any necessary steps to prevent
violation of American territory by
Mexican armed parties. short Of ac-
tually invading Mexico. An order to
cross the border would have to come
from Washington, but II bullets fall on
the American side during any battle
across the line, Gen. Funston may use
his artillery to drive the combatants
away.

PAUL NOE ADDRESSES VETS
At Annual Beanbake at Swanville Com.
mander of Local q. A. r. Talked
on "Pioneer Days.

Todd County Argus (29): Among
the many distinguished persons who
attended the annual beanbake at
Swanville last Friday evening was
Paul Noe of Little Falls, veteran of
the Civil war and commander of the
G. A. R. post OF his city. He got up
and gave the people that assembled in
the hall a very good talk. Among tie
many things that he said, was that he
came to Todd county in 1866 and was
in Long Prairie when practically all
that was here was a number of In
dams, couple of white settlers and
an army post. He recalls distinctly
to mind that they had large liberty
pole and from its topmost peak there
floated to the breeze the American
flag. He said that between what is
now Long Prairie and Little Falls it
was dense wilderness of the finest
kind Of timber. That he has lived to
see the land cleared and what is now
considered the most productive soil Of
any in central Minnesota.
He is still booster for Todd and
Morrison counties, claiming that after
his long continued residence in Min
nesota, they have got to "show him. -
that there is a state that can excel
Minnesota. He related one instance
that he went to St. Cloud and brought
home two small pigs and had them in
pen near his cabin. While he was
away helping neighbor with some
work, two bears came and took them
in broad day light and devoured them.
