LANDING OF AMERICAN TROOPS
AT VERA CRUZ WOULD BE

Mexican Troops Being Modified
Along Border, II Is Charged, in Or
der to Make Dash into Texas
as Retaiiatory Measure.

San Antonio, Texas.-A committee
of citizens headed by Representative
John II. Garner on Friday made a re-
port to Governor Ferguson and Ma
jor General Funston, commanding the
southern department. concerning con
ditions on the Mexican border.
Speaking for the committee Mr.
Garner said:
THE constituted Mexican authors
ties are believed by leading business
men along the border to be prepared
In the event American troops are
landed at Vera Cruz, to make a dash
into Texas, and the large bodies OF
Mexicans In northern Mexico available
for immediate use In case orders are
given to attempt to carry out the plan
OF San Diego would enable the Mexi
cans to brush aside the troops at pres
ent guarding the border and penetrate
a considerable distance into Texas
or couse they would be defeated and
driven back, but before sufficient
American troops could be sent into
the border country, the Mexicans
would have destroyed valuable Ameri

AMERICANS REJECT
AUSTRIAN PROTEST
STATE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS
RIGHT OF AMERICANS TO SHIP
AMMUNITION TO ALLIES.
Reasons Based on international Law,
Feature Of the Answer Being the
Claim That Germany Sold England
Munitions During Boer War;.

Washington.--The state department
on August Is gave out the text Of
this governments reply to the pro-
test of Austria-Hungary against the
shipment of arms and ammunition to
the allies. The note rejects all Of
Austria's contentious.
The reasons given by the United
States for Its position are:
"The principles of international law.
the practice of nations, the national
safety of the United States and other
nations without great military and
naval establishments; the prevention
of increased armies and navies, the
adoption of peaceful methods for the
adjustment of international difficult
ties and finally neutrality itself"
The reply says that IL neutrals we're
compelled to prevent sales to bellig-
erents all nations would be obliged to
have at all times sufficient munitions
Of war to meet any emergency"
The United States has always de-
pended on the right and power to pur-
chase arms and ammunition from .neu-
trail nations in case OF foreign attack.
In consequence OF its standing policy,
the United States would, says the
note, "in the event of attack by a for
eign power. be at the outset of the war
seriously, IL not fatally, embarrassed
by the lack OF arms and ammunition
and by the means to produce them in
sufficient quantities to supply the re.
quirements OF national defense"
One OF the features OF the reply is
the assertion that during the Boer war
Germany sold war supplies to Great
Britain and that Austria Hungary sold
them to the same purchaser. though
in smaller quantities"
The note recites that as Great Brit
ain had established a patrol of the
coasts of adjacent neutral colonies
during that war the situation of the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State
was almost identical with that In
which Austria Hungary and Germany
find themselves at the present time"
The point is made that II Austria
and Germany had refused TO sell arms
that time, Austria might with greater
consistency and greater force urge its
present contention"
II is stated also that Prussian manu-
tacturers sold arms to Russia during
the Crimean war and that Germany
sold arms TO the Turkish government
In the recent war between Turkey and
Italy.

NATIONS JOIN IN
APPEAL TO MEXICO
LEADERS OF FACTIONS ASKED
TO CEASE STRIFE AND ASSEM-.
BILE IN PEACE CONFERENCE.
Feeling Of Optimism and Confidence
That Decisive Step Toward Re.
storing Mexico to Her Place In
Family OF Nations Taken.

New York.-Secretary Lansing on
behalf OF the United States govern
ment and the diplomatic representa-
tives Of Brazil Chile. Argentina, Bo-
livia, Uruguay and Guatemala on
August IL signed an appeal addressed
to the leaders OF all factions In Mex
leo, petitioning them in the name OF
humanity and national patriotism to
cease their civil strife and assemble
a peace conference.
The action, taken after two hours
session. was not Of joint character,
but identical, as an informal but
unanimous note expressing the views
of their several governments that the
condition OF chaos In Mexico has In.
jured the prestige OF the nation
abroad and duplicating the Mexican
leaders and generals to make SUI
preme effort TO bring together all ele-
ments In the creation OF a provisional
government that can be given world
wide recognition.
When the conference adjourned
Wednesday night there was feeling
OF optimism and confidence that de-
cisive step towards restoring Mexico
to her place in the family of nations
had been taken. The appeal, which
is brief and courteously phrased
called upon the Mexicans to consider
the injurious effect throughout the
world which the constant turbulence
in Mexico has caused and suggests
that peace conference be held on
neutral territory In Mexico. The
governments signing II express their
willingness to act, II invited, in any
practicable way to assist In bringing
the factions together for the confer.
ence.
The communication will be given
the widest publicity throughout Mex
leo and will be delivered by the diplo
matte and consular agents OF the vari-
GUS governments signatory to II. Re-
plies are definitely asked for

HEAVY DECREASE
IN IMMIGRATION

New York, Jan. Immigration
through the port of New York for 1914
fell off to the extent of 601,41O per-
sons, or As per cent. as compared with
1913, according to figures compiled by
the commissioner Of immigration.
During 1918 arrivals numbered l.
334,914 persons. of whom 1,l63.9sS
were aliens and 170,921 were return
ing American citizens. In 1914 arriv-
ais were 1854; of these 573.675 were
aliens and l59,92s were citizens.
immigration statistics show that
the number of departing aliens was
greater by 37,s1S than in 1913.
immigration officials and represen-
tatives of the immigrant aid societies
explain the falling OF in immigration,
aside from the war, which is the chief
factor. as being due to the curtailing
Of work in the United States and to
an effort on the part of foreign coun-
tries to restrict immigration by pro-
viding work at home.
