in restoring and maintaining order in Mexico, even should armed interven- tion become necessary.
 Conditions along the Texas border are rapidly developing into a state of guerrilla warfare and clashes be tween the Mexicans and United States cavalry border patrols are of daily occurrence. Scores of Americans have been killed in the raids of Mex ican bandits into isolated portions of the state and Texans have taken re- venge at every possible opportuni ty. Patrols near Brownsville report that several bodies of Mexicans have been seen floating down the river tied to trees but the manner in which they met their deaths is only conjec- ture.
 The representatives of the South American countries have been kept fully informed of conditions in Mex ico City where thousands of the resi- dents are reported to be starving to death, and all have expressed the sentiment that the time has come when conditions in Mexico must be settled and a stable government placed in control of the country's finances.
